Just became a new SIG owner with the purchase of a P365. I have been looking at this pistol for a while and finally, despite the recent gun shortage, was able to locate one and bring it home. The P365 will assume the role as my EDC gun, replacing my S&W Shield 1.0 9MM. The S&W was a good gun but had its faults. After one trip to the range with the P365 I am blown away at how much better than the S&W it is.
I am, in my own opinion, a rank amateur when it comes to accuracy but after getting to know the SIG at the range today I am a much better shooter.

My first couple mags of slow deliberate fire at 7 yards were to the left a few inches, but after getting accustomed to the trigger and sights I was definitely getting very close to center. I think the sights may be off a bit but I wasn't able to try to adjust them. I got into a rhythm after a few more mags and got a nice 2" hole right in the center. I did a few mags of double and triple taps and rapid fire mag dumps as you can see the majority were in the "5" zone. A few fliers here and there and some of my double tap head shots were off to the left.

For me personally, given my troubles with sight focus because of wearing bifocals slightly shaky hands, this is probably the best I've ever shot a "defensive" handgun.

The best gun purchase I made (so far)!!!!

PS: I was going to post the photo but I can't figure out how

Bifocals and shaky hands, welcome to my world. Sounds like you are doing fine though. What has helped me is knowing that I will never be able to hold completely still, so front sight bang. Another option which helps some is going to fiber optics on the sights or Going with a reflex sight like a Romeo 1 or equivalent. Red dots make the sight picture easier align two things not 3 and unlike lasers with shakes hands don’t make you want to keep changing grip or stance or whatever to dampen down the shakes. I am told that when I do fire I am much less shakey. Don’t know the mechanics but shoot fairly well anyway.

Welcome and congratulations on your first Sig! If you’re like most of us here, there will be many more Sigs in your future.

I wear trifocals, which are really not conducive to pistol shooting, so I had my optometrist make me a pair of bifocal glasses where the middle strength of the trifocals is the large area of the right eye lens, the top strength of the trifocals is the large area of the bifocal on the left eye, and the bottom of the trifocals is the same on both lenses of the bifocals. With these, my right eye sees the front sight sharply, the left eye sees the target sharply, and I can read headstamps with the reader parts.

Makes walking around a little weird for a minute or two until your brain makes the necessary adjustments to what it’s seeing, but it works for me.

My hands are not as steady as they used to be either, but I haven’t solved that one yet.
