usncorpsmanSo I traded a Kahr PM380 for Sig 365 380
Best trade ever. This little guy is a great shooter and pairs well with my 365 XL. My wife’s carry gun is a Sig 238, but she may steal this one from me when she shoots it
.
The target is only 7yds using Federal 99gr HST. That is good shooting for me with my 52 year old eyes and iron sights.

pedropcolaI am not a 380 guy but those have always intrigued me. Great trade imo.

OaklaneThat was a great trade. I’m seriously considering a 365 in 380. I had a Kahr 380 and wanted to like it but after 3 trips back to Kahr and numerous dollars in ammo I could never get it to run right and never trusted it. Sold it to a friend for pennies on the dollar with the caveat that it wasn’t trustworthy

BigSwedeIs that 365 as small as the Kahr?

CQB60I own a few P365’s. They’re good, no doubt but use a Kahr P380 for non permissive environments as it’s much smaller overall size is a better choice for me. What it lacks in capacity it more than makes up for in both size, weight and comfortable convenience. It’s also uncannily accurate. My Kahr P380 and I won’t be parting ways anytime soon.

BigSwedeDid some digging
Length ht width weight
P365 5.8 in 4.3 in 1 in 17.8 oz
P380 4.9 in 3.9 in 0.75 in 9.97 oz
Barrel Trigger Website
P365 3.1 in Striker-Fired
P380 2.53 in Striker-Fired
The 365 blows it out of the water with capacity
Now I'm curious about the size difference between the 9mm and 380 365

yaniciI picked one up about a month ago. Really great little shooter. I had sold my 238 a couple of years ago, mistake, so got this because I missed my 238. Probably a better move anyway.

I'm in the same boat. I own several P365s and love them. But my P380 is a staple and I would never consider this trade.

sigarms229Nice! I have one in .380 too and it's a great shooter. Much better than some of the other small .380's I've owned which include Kahr, Ruger and Glock.

pedropcolaI always did like my K9. That is one tiny little gun, I checked out Handgun Hero, didn't realize how small it is. Sweet.

looks like the specs quoted are for a 9mm 365.
The 365-380 Sig is 5.8" long, 1.0" wide, and 4.2" high. Weight difference is 2.1 ounces.
March 17, 2023, 01:23 PM
BigSwedeYes, it looks like the 380 and 9mm 365 are pretty much the same size. Which to me doesn't make the 380 appealing

They are the same size but they are not the same weight the 365/380 is lighter it has lightning holes in the slide to make it lighter The lightening holes are on the inside of the slide so you can’t see them till you remove the slode

WasabiI carry 9mm P365 and also have a P380 for those days I need something smaller. My P380 isn't going anywhere. The 380 P365 makes no sense to me unless you need less recoil for whatever reason.
