Be careful that your thumbs aren't contacting the slide, even a little bit. That can result in several different issues, including what you are experiencing.

I find that I do not hit the Slide Stop lever as much with my XL frame module. ************************* Warning...SiGs are addictive, keep out of the reach of adults! Blue Lives Matter: Thank a Police Officer for their Service! | |||

I had planned on getting a Sig p365 myself, even the XL. I shoot Speer Gold Dot LE JHP. I expect any Sig I purchase to run well without malfunctioning straight out of the box. If it does not, it is gone. I don't over oil my firearms. I will not make excuses for a firearm that does not function properly under normal use, with quality ammo. I know my grip is firm, no thumb on the slide, high quality ammo, weather is not a problem, no trash in firearm, and if the spring is too stiff and causing a problem, it goes back to factory to correct their eng. issue. On a new pistol, I don't shop for springs, grind anyting, chanel out anyting in order to get the firearm to work as it should. It will perform properly or it is gone back to manufacture. Yes, I properly clean all my firearms, but I don’t over oil to get it to work properly. If I have to clean every few rounds, it goes back. If you are a person that likes to FIX new pistols and chanel parts to get them to work, or buy super +P ammo to get them to work, enjoy yourself. I only keep properly functioning fireams. I would use a Remington 870 or a double barrel shotgun before trusting a faulty pistol.This message has been edited. Last edited by: **K9**, | |||

Use the 124 gram. But in my view it should not be necessary. Also it should not stove pipe even with a light grip. I totally agree with K9...life is too short and I am already 74. allen conrad | |||

When I got my P365 I shot a couple boxes of 124gr ammo first. Then I went to 115gr WWB for range ammo. | |||

We had exactly the same problem in our first 100 rounds of 115gr Winchester White Box in my wife's new P365. I can't honestly recall if she cleaned and lubed before the first range trip or not. I'm thinking probably not. The problem went away completely after switching to 124gr Sellier & Bellot, and it's run perfectly fine with even cheap 115gr since then. | |||

One other tip, after you have cleaned and lubed a new semi-auto handgun, work the slide 100 times. It seems to help. | |||

Of course a new pistol needs to be properly serviced before shooting. I just got a brand new Wilson that required lubrication, which is the first thing I did. I have several P365's. They're a good design, function very well, and have run without issue. I've run everything from carry Gold Dot ammunition through them to my various reloads and coated bullets, flat point, 147 gn, and 115 gn, and 124 gn, without issue. The magazine springs are notoriously strong on the P365, when new. After a few cycles, or being allowed to sit loaded, they become friendly, and that is no longer an issue. I'd suggest firing the pistol another hundred rounds with the magazine downloaded a couple of rounds, just to see if the problem reoccurs. Did the problems occur in the first rounds from the magazine? Try a different ammunition. It's a Sig. Grease on the rails , oil between small moving parts. I put grease on the striker/sear interface, too. Also light grease on the barrel and the lug where contacted by the guide rod, and the the groove in the lug where the barrel rides as the pistol cycles. I use the lucas grease, presently. It's a Sig. Grease it. | |||

It's common for a new 9mm to be just slightly stiff when new, and the above is the solution. I've experienced this on multiple occasions (glocks and sigs), and the problem always quickly disappears. You're using lightweight practice ammo in a pistol designed to handle big doses of +p without complaint. It will normally be fine, but in a tight, brand-new gun this is where you are most likely to see the occasional failure to fully cycle. The solution: For the next 150 rounds, use +p ammo of any weight or standard-pressure 124gr to get a slightly higher recoil impulse. The problem should immediately disappear. Also do some hand-cycling and dry-fire practice at home. When you're ready to go back to 115gr, everything should be working as normal. | |||

Very good advice! Plus, dry fire the living dog whiz out of it after proper lubrication.  ************************* Warning...SiGs are addictive, keep out of the reach of adults! Blue Lives Matter: Thank a Police Officer for their Service! | |||

I just picked up my 365XL with the Romeo Zero on it and I’ll follow the advise above before taking it to the range this weekend. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

There's a permanent thread up at the top called "Flork's Lubrication Recommendation" or something to that effect, which covers greasing and lubing Sigs. | |||
