Ok,is it me ? I just got around to getting to the range with my 365 I bought about a month ago and noticed how hard it is to load the 10 shot magazines , Is anyone else having this trouble with loading theirs? I get it , its alot of rounds for a small magazine but ,,,,wow , i loaded it 5 times and started to find it uncomfortable to keep shooting it , just wondering if anyone else feels the same way , thanksThis message has been edited.

I was looking at that and was hoping somebody had used one I didnt know if they were any good ,so how many rounds have you put down range without 365 ? Has the springs in your mags softened up at all yet ?

Mine is just over 600rds and holding. It's an earlier production, but not a single issue. The magazines are much easier to load without an UPLULA now. It is for special applications, when I want small and inconspicuous. I don't daily carry it.
I prefer 1911 pistols more.
If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

I have ~1200 through mine, I believe. I cycle through the two 10-rd mags that came with it and the other four 12-rd that I have. I has gotten easier, but an Uplula is still the best way to load them.

My buddy picked one up and asked us to help break it in for him. I was so glad the uplula worked either the thinner mags just fine. Though the angled baseplates on the finger rest ones made it harder, it was def easier than doing just by hand.

Use an UPLULA for the first 3 or 4 loadings with your mags and leave 'em fully loaded for a cpl days; that'll cure the stiffness. After that, they'll manually finger load just like any other bottom feeder...that's been my experience with my P365 purchased in early February, of this year. Rod

I almost never used a mag loader except for 1911 9mm 10 round mags and a Walther PPS and now the Sig 365. I guess we are just cramming more rounds into a mag than they were really designed for.

Forgive me for reviving an older thread. I just have to say, new P365 magazines are a bear to load.
I have the mag loader coming today, Uplula. I plan to leave them loaded for a while. Even when using 3 or more thumbs it’s hard to load. Just wanted to State the obvious.
