Yep, brand new P365 made in march of this year. We picked it up 3 weeks ago and the first range session 5 freaking rounds into it with 115 grain FMJ and the trigger breaks on it. Her first CCW weapon after I explained to her why I owned a pile of Sigs. I thought they had the P365 issues hammered out by now. So monday I test the Sig customer service I guess

That sucks. I’m sorry it happened. However it pans out, I hope she ends up with a carry pistol she feels she can rely on.

Not good. Did you strip it down to see where the break occurred or is it the actual trigger that broke? I just bought a 365 (also made in March 2021) and 365x, no issues with the 365 and I haven’t shot the X. Good luck.

As did I , disliked the stock trigger & swapped it out for Sigs flat trigger that comes stock on the 365X.
All gtg but only have 400rds thru each so far.
Hope it works out, no way I could not tear it apart & find out what broke. I’m just too nosey.

5 rounds and it broke?
After reading Grumpybiker’s post- I remembered that the takedown lever “holds” the 365 FCU in place. Was the takedown lever manipulated prior to the malfunction? If the takedown lever is pushed out 1-2 mm, the FCU does not engage properly.

So sorry to hear.
As irritating as that is, try to hang in there.
I had a fairly early 365, whose RTB issues died off after 100 rounds. But when I used it with a 365 xl upper, they recurred and wouldn't go away. Sent it back to Sig, they swapped out FCU's (and more), and it has been flawless for over 1200 rounds since.
So much so, I've bought three more, zero issues after a couple thousand rounds (in fact better reliability and accuracy than my G43's and G48's).
I like to shoot Glocks more, but the 365 has solidly, if sadly, replaced them for EDC and even bedside roles.
Sig will make it work.

I’d be interested to see what Sig says when you get it back. I just bought a 365XL that also has a March 2021 born date. I’ve put over 400 rounds through it with no problems so far.

I did get to test Sig customer service, bought a Holosun 507K to put on it and the plate screws immediately stripped out even after heating. Sent it in, they received it at the factory on a Friday and had it back at my house the next Friday. Love it even more with the RDS.

Sorry to hear that your wife has experienced this. I hope SIG CS gets it straightened out quickly.

I have had no issues with my P365 and carry it daily during the summer months.

Updates, talked to Sig and 11 minutes in the phone I have an RMA and the gun goes back. Pretty harmless so far. The trigger wont even reset when you cycle the action it feels like something in the FCU is seized or snapped but it's not flopping or rattling around. I guess this is why they make lifetime warranties. I will report back what Sig says.

Wow, that sucks. I just got a P365 SAS for my birthday and it has been absolutely flawless.

Did you take it down to grease it before shooting?

When this was happening in the early P365 days, wasn't this attributed to something like a broken trigger return spring, or some such? It's probably something a trained armorer could fix in five minutes. Too bad:

1) It happened in the first place. Maybe SIG, and /or their subs, QA still needs some work.

2) It'll take a couple weeks of transport and queuing to get it in front of someone who'll take the aforementioned five minutes to fix it.

Not necessarily.

My front night sight went dead on a relatively new 365 and I sent it back to them in early June. This was for a January build date pistol. They turned it around and shipped it out the same day they got it, and I had it back in hand in a week.

Hopefully they will do the same for the one in question.

Why are people quick to be so damn negative?

1,000,000 P365's produced in 18 months according to Sig.

Even if QC caught 99% of mistakes, which I am not in the business but I would think that's a respectable number, there are still 10K that got by. I'm sure they had less than 10K of their P365's returned for lack of QC reasons but good grief guys.

ow many guns are being sold now days. I can bet my paycheck non of yall's asses is perfect either.

Otto, I only see one post that could possibly be as negative as you claim, and it isn’t even that bad. If anything, I see a lot of positivity. You ok over there?

Yeah I'm good, I counted two.

I actually just came back to edit that post as most were not negative.

they are the 4th largest gun manufacturer in the US. And I wouldn't choose a handgun from S&W, Remington, or Ruger before them. So they are more than they used to be!!

I'll respond for myself, first off because I have worked my ass off to get my wife comfortable enough too want to shoot regularly, then she chose the right to CCW and picked her own pistol. Huge for her or any new gun owner and it crapped out after a few rounds. Ive been around mechanical things all my life and Im well aware of the engineering process and QC, its sorta what I do. I also love and trust all my Sigs, but this is the worst possible time for one to crap out. Thats why I'm highly annoyed about it enough to post

I had a brand new S&W Shield Plus that became a paperweight and seized up 5 rounds into a range session (145 rounds on the gun total) turned out the striker spring broke and the striker was jammed in the slide. Anything man made can break.

Pistol arrived at Sig yesterday at 12:30 Eastern Time, according to FedEx. Then last night at 830 PM my time my phone dings and I have a FedEx return tracking number and the pistol will be here tomorrow. That it insanely fast turn around. I am curious as to what they say was the issue. Will post up what the report from Sig says.
