Smith, Glock, Ruger, Kahr, etc managed to do it. Other than the magazine configuration, which shouldn't affect the action geometry/mechanics, there's nothing particularly different about the P365.

One factor behind some of Sig's travails with the P365 is how hard it is to make a small pistol work well. The geometry of all that force and movement in such small dimensions is hard to get just right -- this affects a lot (if not all) small pistols. Even if designed really well, and executed really well, they can be ammo sensitive and wear out springs, peen barrel hoods, etc., at alarming rates.
The answer? Well, the smallest pistol I have total confidence in based on my experiences (YMMV) is also from Sig: The P239. Many consider it a clunker compared to today's micro 9mm pistols, but it is accurate, it's weight dampens recoil well, and it is reliable.
But I'll continue to follow the story on the P365 and hope for the best.
