My Son bought a 365 with an October born on date.

We have had it for a little over a month now and finally made it to the range today.

We shot 230 rounds of WW white box, with 4 different mags. All mags held the slide back when the last round was fired.

I really like it with the 12 round mags, as it was the only way I was able to get a decent grip.

Four of us shot this gun.

At 7 yards, it appears to shoot a little low, but when I compensated, I was able to shoot some very nice groups. I do like the factory sights.

Out of 230 rounds, we did experience what I will call three light primer strikes. The RO came over and examined the rounds.

My Son was very concerned. I told him we need to shoot some other ammo, before I will be too concerned.

Has anyone else experienced light primer strikes with WW white box 9mm?

All in all, I really like this P365.

The P365 is fun to shoot isn't it?! Never fails that my first shot at 7 yds is a bulls eye - of course then I get cocky and the groups spread out a bit.

Mine has a 2 Oct 18 build date. I've had 3 light strikes out of about 600 rounds - 2 with Sellior & Bellot FMJ and 1 with Freedom Munitions reload FMJ. I was a bit concerned - but someone said maybe the primers were just hard. My P-250 that never fails had 2 Light Strikes on the S&B. They worked fine once reloaded into the Magazine. So maybe they are just hard.

The SD ammo I've run - Speer & Sig Hollow points - has run fine until the last session - then the slide failed to fully return to battery when cycling 1 time with the Speer. I've only run maybe 50-60 rounds of SD ammo through it - so maybe too small a sample set.

I have to be honest that I'm a bit disappointed - I've not had issues with any other Sig handgun other than the Jam-o-Matic 1911-22 that GSG made for them - but I almost look at that as a malfunction training weapon.

Haven't seen much 365 bashing lately and I was hoping all was well with the factory changes.
Mine was made Sept 2018 and I have not had issues with it. Close to 600 rounds now. Different weights and brands.

Mine has an October 2018 birthday. I have been taking it to the range at least 2x a week with a huge supply of Magtech 124 grain. With more than 500 rnds so far, not a single problem, although the ammo has not varied yet. On my Christmas trip to Dallas (with family) I have committed it to carry. I am that confident.

I would try something better than WWB such as Lawman or American Eagle .

I have let a friend of mine shoot my 365 a number of times. Invariably, he will have problems with the feeding of rounds and the slide not going all the way into battery. I also had problems, in the beginning.

When I caution him to watch his thumbs, he has no more problems. Whenever I have shot it after him, it has functioned correctly for me.

My experience has been that thumbs will create problems. Watch where they are placed.

Congrats on the 365.

I haven't ran any WWB through mine, but I did have one light strike with some GA Arms Canned Heat, but that was it. 1100 + rounds fired from my April '18 P365 and she's running great.

WWB is trash.

I haven't had an light primer strikes with mine, but it hasn't hiccupped with any ammunition run through it. A bunch of winchester white box, remington UMC, a bunch of federal, and a lot of my own reloads with coated bullets in 124 and 115 gn. I don't think there has been a single issue thus far.

Still don't trust it, though.

Thanks - I get sloppy with it sometimes - thus my deteriorating accuracy - so your thumbs suggestion is something I'll focus more on - thanks!

over 8 k rounds thru mine zero issues, I just love the 365.

If I was still working and my agency was supplying tax payer paid for ammunition maybe I'd be using something other than WINCHESTER White Box. Our armory kept thousands of rounds of 9mm, .45acp, .380acp, 00 and .223. At the time the contract was for FEDERAL, delivered by semi truck. Just ask and we could draw a certain amount for practice every month.

I'm retired now and I have no issues using WWB in any of my pistols. If it's a little 'dirtier' than other manufacturers, that's fine with me. I clean mine after every range shoot anyway.

I finally had a chance to run a hundred plus rounds through mine the other day.
Perfect although it shoots low at 10 yards. Once I figured it out was fairly accurate.
I like my P365.

Over 800 rounds through mine with about 7 different ammos, not one hiccup. Keeper! Love it. Say bye bye G43!

This is my second P365, first one with a born date of June had very severe primer drag so I flipped it.

Second one with a born date of 30 October has next to no primer drag, and has had 300 rounds through it flawlessly, several different brands, various grain weights, 115, 124 and my favorite Federal HST 147 gr.

The pistol is also dead on accurate! It's a keeper now!

My G43 and Ruger LC9s pro have both gone bye bye! My Shield 2.0 with green laser is still a keeper, although relegated to second string bench warmer.

I've never understood the hatred for WWB. I've shot quite a bit of it in 9mm and .40 cal. Why does everyone hate it so?

Because this is so sporadic, it is really hard to say whether the striker malfunctioned and failed to indent the primer enough or the primers were too hard on those particular rounds. Before fully committing to it, if I were in your shoes I'd make sure the striker, its channel and spring are clean as well as trying some different ammo.

I saw one of these guns for the first time in a Bass Pro store and was surprised by its size.

Are you trying to wear it out?
