Asked my FFL earlier this week to put me on the wait list. They called Saturday and said they had one for me. So, went over to pick it up.

Cleaned, lubed and ready to go.



Also added a P320 Carry.

The P365 is June 19, 2018. This appears to be hot off the press.

I'll have to dig out the box for the p320.

Dang, that thing is still a toddler! Congratulations on the new Sig. I got to fire one a few weeks ago while on vacation and liked it, but only got to fire 10 rounds. I'd like to fire 50-100 more rounds to determine if I really like the feel or not.

So they built it on a Tuesday and you picked it up that Saturday. Damn. That's impressive. Hot off the press is no kidding.

The P320 Carry is March 2, 2018. It's been at the dealer a bit longer.

Bought two twelve rounders which I think I prefer, or at least the ten rounders with the pinky rest. I'm impressed with 13 rounds of 9mm in such a slim grip.

Sweet! Would it be a stretch to think SIG has ironed out the "birthing" issues with this model? I haven't heard anyone dinging it lately, and it's on top of my wish list!




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Sig states that there was never a problem...so take it with a grain of salt. I'd be careful about assuming it's ready to go until you've got ample rounds downrange.

Well, ready to go to the range. After some break in and a holster decision, we'll see about carry.

Yeah, seems it left SIG and fell all but directly into my hands!

It's a small pistol, recoil and handling are bound to take some getting used to. It's not a blow back design, but I expect it's rather snappy nonetheless given some videos I've seen.

I'm curious how it compares to the Sphinx SDP subcompact as they are comparable in size, but not in price.

Nice gun but using that twelve round mag is like cheating.

How so? I didn’t know there were “rules”.

On the "other" sig forum a thread was posted with a link to a poll of P365 owners asking what, if any issues they had experienced with their pistols. Out of a total of 178 P365 owners who responded, there were 15 reported broken strikers for a total of 8.43% of those who responded, and 9 reports of broken or displaced trigger bar springs (resulting in a dead trigger) for a total of 4.49% of respondents. So the total of critical failures reported constituted nearly 13% of those who participated in the poll.

There were many other issues reported in the poll including failures of slide lock on empty magazines, excessive barrel peening, failures to return to battery, failures to eject or feed, etc, but the critical failures were my main concern since these take the pistol out of service immediately without any prior warning and there is no immediate remedial action available to correct them. What is more, they have been reported at very high round counts, with one striker breakage occurring after 1900 rounds, several others occurring after 500 rounds, and several trigger spring malfunctions occurring after 450-500 rounds. For those who have seen the MAC P365 video, recall that Tim's trigger went dead suddenly after shooting nearly 900 rounds.

It has been said that most of the striker breakages occurred with a batch of pistols produced from February through April of this year and is has been suggested that SIG has instituted changes in the assembly of the trigger bar spring. But in the poll referenced, there was one striker failure reported and one dead trigger reported in pistols manufactured in the second half of last month (May). What is also concerning is that there is one individual who has reported on that forum, and others, two separate striker failures and another individual reported two trigger spring failures. In other words, these individuals returned their pistols to SIG for repair, and experienced exactly the same failure after they got it back.

Before anyone labels me a "SIG basher" be advised that I currently own 5 SIG pistols and I have been interested in the P365 since its introduction. It is possible that I will someday buy one to replace my M&P Shield. But based on what others have reported, I would not consider the major problems with the P365 to have been "ironed out" as of now, and I would not purchase one for self-defense usage. I acknowledge that many P365 owners have had no trouble whatsoever. But when critical failures are reported after round counts of 500 to 1900, what can be considered ample rounds downrange before the pistol is vetted?

Please keep us posted about any problems - that's the latest build date I've seen.

Even if there were, cheating is acceptable. How many rounds would you rather have, if you were caught in a gunfight? Raise your hand, if you only want 10 rounds. Smile

People are bidding these up to $600-650. I used Buy Now for $550. There are at least four on auction for $550.

Price point here is $510 plus tax which is an outrageous 7%.
