JlJones - If you have the opportunity can you ask if they have a hard release date identified yet?

Looking forward to your range report as I really think I want to be an early user of this model.

Yes, please let us know your thoughts if you get to play with one. I'm pretty happy with my P320s and am not really thinking that I need this, but like all new products I'm curious to see how it compares.

This is where I am as well.
I'd had a RXM on my next handgun list, but if these look promising, may stay with Sig.

Well……

I feel like if you have shot a 365 in the larger varieties, you have shot a 385. The grip reminded me of an M&P 2.0. But in my opinion it still would need a coat of silicone carbide for my needs.

I shot the standard (G17 sized version) and the slide mounted comp’d version. Both the sights returned nicely. Lower bore axis seems to make a little difference Very little recoil on the comp.


Big thing I don’t guess I realized was the move away from the “modular” bath tub design back to a traditional duty style pistol.

If you are a fan of the 365, you’re going to love the 385. Probably not one in my future because I am pretty committed to shooting a Glock.

^^^I thought the P385 had a removable FCU as well?

Mr. Jones - Thanks for taking the time to provide your review. I shoot my P365 variant pistols better than I do my P226 pistols. Being older with small hands I can grip the P365 various grip modules on my pistols better than the E2 grips I have many on my P series pistols. The E2 grip module for me is closest in size to the P365 grips, at least it seems that way for me.

Thanks again - My plan is to either buy a full size P385 or the Mach3D (if I can afford it).

Think they said it might be next year before the 3D comes out.

It does have a removable FCU.

^^^Thanks. This is why I was confused.

Yeah, I'm confused as to what jljones meant by that as well, because it's still a modular FCU-based firearm whose slide and grip module can be swapped around to different sizes and configurations.

In fact, it's even more modular than the P320/P365, because their new "Magstrap" system also allows you to swap out the bottom half of the grip to add/remove a magwell or go back and forth between a more compact 15 round grip length and a longer 17/21 round grip length, all without changing the entire grip module. (Though to go with a longer rail/dust cover would still require changing the grip module.)

Hopefully he'll clarify his intended meaning.

It's a feature I'm happy they kept. So far, I have yet to see a real downside to having the removable chassis.

^^^I wonder if higher cost is one, but I’m not sure why it would be. Otherwise, I can’t think of a reason either.
