1. The P365 is more comparable to the Kahr PM9 than the G43. Yes it feels that small. I was almost hoping for it to be more G43 comparable. For the record, YES I have Talon grips on the G43 so it is a little thicker. Big deal. They are too close to call.

2. The mag release has a ridge on the frame on the mainspring side of the grip so depressing the mag release IS difficult. You need to adjust your grip to ensure you are pressing straight downward on the button (not that big of a deal for me)

3. The trigger is short, light with a very clean break. It is not as light as a P320 (thankfully) but borderline too light. If you picture coming to the wall on a Glock and knowing when it will break, you can't do it with the P365. It has a smooth rolling trigger pull like a Kahr and trying to find that breaking point will result in a ND. So you really need to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready. The break comes almost midway within the trigger guard, not all the way toward the rear of the frame. This was a surprise but a plus

4. Those little 10 round mags are amazing!

5. The texturing if pretty aggressive but more of a problem, for me anyway, was the seem on the right hand side of the grip. It dug into my hand and became annoying after a few minutes. I will have to put some Talon grips on it.

6. And this is a major bummer. The rear sights are fine but the front night sight barely glows. It looks like it is already 12 years old and on its last legs. Front sight is a #6 for those interested.

7. Anyone comparing this to a G26 is just plain very uninformed. This is definitely smaller in every dimension than a G43. Grip width may be the slightest bit wider, but if you were blindfolded you wouldn't know. The Glock is much wider from front to back than the Sig so the Sig still feels smaller. It is smaller in height, length, width of slide and weight.

8. In terms of which feels the most comfortable, it is close between the P365 and Pm9, but I will go with the P365. I do like the undercut on the trigger guard. The Glocks grip feels incredibly fat (front to back) after handling the others.

9. This thing came jammed pack with thick white grease! It was everywhere including the slide, recoil spring and barrel. It actually took me a while to clean it all out and I even took Brake Clean to the slide! I don't run my guns very wet, but now the Sig is greased and lubed.

Here are some pics. I hope to get to shoot it this weekend.

Thank you very much for that PM9 comparison. I'm looking at the 365 as a potential replacement to my PM9.

Does it pocket as well as the PM9?

They will replace the front sight if I mail in the side and have sent a RMA label. Turnaround time is 3 weeks.

Sucks since I won't get to shoot it, or I can wait.

JGIORD- For me the P239 had a squared off feeling and the P290 felt too long for it's width. How does the P365 feel in your hand? Does it feel like you're holding a 1"X2" board or does it fit your hand better than that?

I agree with your P239 assessment. The P365 feels much better than both of them. Very ergonomic and it makes the G43 feel like a 2x4.

I'm thinking the closest match might be the feel of the Ruger LC9, or close to it. I like the feel of the Kahr PM9 but even prefer the P365 to that.

Are you be able to compare the feel of the P365 to a P938?

No, sorry but working from memory the P938 is shorter in grip and a bit more squared off.

Interesting, as the Sig CS rep indicated they would replace my sight with the X-Ray sights.

VM2? If so can we prebuy?
