Exactly this. Mine is from April '18 and I'm coming up on close to 2500 rounds fired. Other than replacing the x-ray sights with HDs and the stock frame with one from Gray Guns, my 365 is stock.

| I'd probably go put a bunch of rounds through it as a confidence builder. I suspect that the actual incidence of "problems" with the early guns was low, but it obviously was enough to prompt some changes. I recently took a similar vintage gun in on trade (from a member) and then sold it to a friend. He put 800 or so rounds through it with no problems. When I got mine (late 2019 production) I did 1000 with no cleaning or added lube before I'd carry it and had no issues.
You'll really like the gun, though. |

| Mine was produced around then. I trust it enough that my daughter is now carrying it, and I need another one for the trail. I may buy a XL the next time for trail duty. |

| I also have one from that period....no issues at all. I’m around the 2k mark. |

| Had mine since May 2018, and it's now surpassed my PPS as my EDC

| If it makes you feel more confident, there are multiple threads with members extolling the virtues and qualities of the 365 from '18 and onward. have fun with it. My wife and I got Israeli recoil reduction systems to overcome hand arthritis. I carry it every day and my wife, who still prefers her P239 9mm, keeps in in her desk drawer.
Good luck to you. |
