Trigger doesn’t fire the gun until you shake it.

I’ve got a P365. Probably 2000 rounds through it.
Never a malfunction.

I don’t know the poster. I have no idea if I trust him.

Anyone seen anything like this?

Well I can tell you I think those guys are idiots. Did you watch their drills? First time you turn and run back at me with a loaded gun in your hand I am out. Find a new shooting partner. As for the issue I don’t understand/don’t believe that the issue as described wouldn’t generate a label. They told Sig it would not fire unless you shook it and Sig said to just “break it in”?

I never finished video so is it going in?

Well, Sig told them to send it in, finally.
He didn't mention on who's dime. He's promised follow-up vid/s about it.

I agree with Pete. Idiots.

While their gun handling is troubling at times, I don't think there is any doubt that this particular gun IS malfunctioning. You shouldn't have to shake the gun to get it to go off.

I do about 100 range sessions and qualifications a year as a part time instructor. Not a great number, but not a little one either.

While I don't own a P365, they are popular, but have been one of, if not the most, problematic guns I've had people bring to the range to shoot. Failure to fully go into battery and light primer strikes are the more common P365 issues I've seen, although I've also seen failures to feed and eject. I've chalked this up to people bringing brand new guns that are unfired or barely fired and not broken in or haven't been cleaned and lubricated after purchase or firing. Perhaps there's more going on. Other P365 issues have been reported on this site. Guns, no matter the manufacturer or model, are, after all, mechanical things created and constructed by imperfect human beings. Sometimes mechanical things don't work like they should, or defective parts are used, or parts get worn and break. I've had several events where something on one of my guns broke and it didn't work right until it got fixed.

I understand SIG telling the owner to break it in some more. I've told that to people from time to time as well, although having to shake the gun to get it to fire is kind of a big malfunction. I'm surprised SIG didn't want the gun back the first time they were called. I tell people not to carry a problematic gun until it's broken in and shoots reliably, perhaps with a different brand of ammunition and to call the manufacturer's customer service if it keeps malfunctioning after a reasonable number of rounds are fired. If the malfunction is serious enough, I tell the owner not to shoot it at all and call customer service. It's good that SIG wants this one back to see what's going on with it. I can't wait to see an update.

My guess is some gun plumber work is involved.

Or they used froglube in the striker channel or sear interface.
