Sig 365 Problem Poll
There was a thread on the 365 a while back in which someone threw out an estimate that 25% of people have had some problem with the little wonder. I doubt very much it is that high, but wonder if this Braintrust might be a place to get a little more than anecdotal data.<BR>I was tempted to limit this to pistols made since x date (? October 2018), but figured there was no perfect date to pick, so all comers. Hope I am posting this correctly.<BR>My own experience has been remarkably good at ~ 800 rounds.<BR>If you report problems, consider describing what it was, its born on date, and the round count when problems occurred.Which best describes your experience with the P365?No problems at all.A few issues (eg FTF, FTE, slow RTB, other) resolved within the first 50 roundsProblems under 1000 rounds, sent back, was great.Problems at over 1000 rounds, sent back, was great.Problems at any round count, sent back, still problems.

Just over the 500 round mark, mine developed chronic and frequent FTE issues. Returned to SIG, replaced the whole top end.

Selling to a buddy with full disclosure to fund an XL model, which fits my hands and intended role better.

Over 1600 rounds fired through my 365 from April '18.

I love this little pistol!

Put over 100 rounds down the range today. Have close to 1500+ rounds through it to date. ZERO problems since I purchased it (Sept 2018 birth date)

In the corporate world, I used to refer to those kind of estimates as a "SWAG BOND."

Swinging wild-ass guess based on no data.

Your poll here will not provide you with good data either.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

Have 993 rounds through mine, a June, 2018 build, with no problems. Ammo has been a mix of various brands of FMJ, JHPs, and my reloads. Magazines used have been 10, 12, and 15 round capacities with all of them functioning just fine.

Bought it a month ago. About 500 rounds (115 FMJ, 147 FMJ various brands, 124+P gold dot and 147 HST) all through 10 round mags. No issues at all.

Between the 124gr +P Gold Dot and the 147gr HST, which one was the post accurate in your pistol and had the lightest recoil impulse ?

I've had 2 - one from July 2017 (if not 17, then 18)and it had 600 flawless rounds through it before I traded it to my Brother & SIL for a 220 Legion(he insisted...) and an October of 2018 that I've shot 200 flawless rounds through.

So far I am very pleased with my 365's.

Zero issues with mine. It's between 14-16 months old now. Somewhere between 1500-2500 full metal jacket rounds, (Independence & Blazer Brass) and about 5-700 rounds of Speer Gold Dots. 115 grain, 124 grain, and 124 grain +P's.

I've never stopped to pick up my brass and check for primer strikes.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones ... or, I'm due!

Biggy - the HST seemed a little more controllable, but the +P 124 GD weren’t hard to manage either.
Went with the HST due to a slightly better group

Zero issue after 500 rounds. Approximately 400 American Eagle 124gr FMJ, 50 Federal HST, 50 Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman +P. Love the P365!

Howdy!

Other than the four 15 round magazines I purchased for my P365 I’ve had zero problems.

I can't give you a recoil comparison, but my 365 grouped the best with 124gr +P Speer GDs.
