I got my RSA from Sig Tuesday, hit the range today.
It was actually satisfying. In that it was unequivocal. Fired one 10 round and two 12 round magazines. With each magazine got 3-4 full RTB's and two visibly, audibly delayed and slow RTB.
So back to Sig.
Do remember, though, as mentioned in my earlier post, the same 365 lower functions perfectly (1100-1200 rounds) with the original 365 (short) upper. Still a great gun. (But I was glad I also took my G43 to the range.)

Thanks for the update. Strongly considering one of these myself after trying out someone else that worked perfectly.

It sounds like there is just barely too much friction in the system on some of them, but enough cycling/shooting should be a cure.

I'm also very interested in the XL. I picked up one of the XL grip modules for my 365 and it is the perfect size for my purposes. I'll still use the regular module for deeper concealment needs but I can AIWB the XL grip and it is incredibly easy to conceal.

You mentioned looking for a red dot. I've been reading about the new Holosun 507k (I think) and they say its better than the Romeo Zero. Metal body to it.
Something to consider...I am, for down the road!

I did the same to my P365. I bought the XL Gray Guns grip module for the XL, but liked it more on my P365. It rides OWB daily in a Grizzle GS2. I prefer the grip module being full length over a break then a mag floor plate. Feels better in the hand. May be just in my head though.

I have been watching the videos on the 507k. I'm impressed. All of the Holoson MRDS's have received really good reviews and results. They also have the battery tray on the 507k to the side. I think they said street price was around 290. That's a good deal if the optic is a durable as I hope.

P365XL returned from Sig on 01/21/2020. Said they polished chamber area/feedramp, replaced the RSA and cleaned it. I can see the feed ramp, RSA that locks into the locking block and chamber area has been polished. Not sure what oil substance they use, but it looks as thin as water. Said they fired 100 rounds and not an issue.

Hit the range on the 22nd. Finished the day with 242 rounds total. Round count 202 had a failure to return to battery. By the time I brought the weapon down from draw and dropped the mag, it had returned to battery. I pulled the slide and barrel and noticed that the carbon build up was bad. I was shooting 147 grain HST and the smoke was crazy. Not sure if a bad box? or what. I wiped the barrel down and hit it with some Ballistol. Fired the remaining 40 rounds of HST with no issues.

Friday the 24th, I hit the range again. This time, I did not clean the weapon at all from the previous range trip. 280 rounds total fired. Not a single issue. I started with 50 rounds of 147 grain HST, which still smoked like a cowboy action gun, mixed up 115 grain Sig FMJ, 124 grain Blazer Brass and then ended with another 50 rounds of 147 grain HST. I really got this Sig hot. It was below 40 on friday and even with gloves on, this sucker was smoking hot. I did my damnedest to get it to fail today. Not one single issue.

I put 100 rounds of 147 grain HST through my standard P365 as well. This was after the XL run. I've placed an order for a standard curved trigger for the XL. I couldn't believe how uncomfortable it was compared to the stock curved trigger.

I keep a very accurate round count of all my weapons, but had no part in this. That days 280, made it an even 1200.

I think I am pretty dang happy with this. I'm not ready to drop 150 on a leather rig yet, but I'm close. Next step is finding and mounting an MRDS, then have the leather rig built around it.

I'm going to call this Sig P365XL fixed. Crazy, 1200 rounds and it's still almost a tight as the day I got it.

Rockchalk,
That is really great news. Glad to hear and thanks for posting.
Recall I have the exact same issue with my 365XL upper when on my regular, flawless 365 lower, also with no benefit from a new RSA. I have a return lable from Sig, but have not sent in yet because I am traveling a bit and need to be able to receive their return. How long did it take from the day you shipped it back till when it was returned to you?
Thanks,
Scott
