Recently picked up a P365 and absolutely love it. Came with 2 10 round magazines and small enough to fit in your pocket. Shot 124 grain +P without failure and shot to the sights. Great little 9mm

Glad you like it.

Sig makes a great pistol. I wanted a 230 in 45 ACP bought it + sold it a month later. Although I am of German descent,I am left handed + there are NO left handed Germans;I know,when I was a kid I had to sit on my left hand so I could not eat with it.This was in Germany. The Sig is a totally right handed pistol,albeit superior to most. That's why I carry a 1911. But really,congrats on your new purchase.

With 11 rounds on board.

I love mine, 11 rounds in such a small package, excellent trigger, great night sights and very accurate.

I received a email from Sig Sauer this morning introducing a new 15 round magazine for the P365, extends about a 1/2" past the 12 round magazine.

Not a bad little rig. I carry one as my "church pistol" on Sundays.

I am going to buy the 365xl when it is available in a few months.

15+ rounds in a sub compact is perfect.

I also picked up a Sig 365 and it has become my everyday concealed carry. I carry mine with the 12 round magazine. This pistol is amazingly accurate and the sights are first class.

It is a beautiful well designed piece + were I right handed I would buy one myself.There are no left handed Germans (except me,but I'm American 1st).That + for other reasons is why I carry the 1911 A1;nothing to remember.The Sig has recessed levers that don't work for a lefty but the 1911 is easy to get used to in a LH mode.

I drank the Kool-Aid. Traded a Springfield XDM Subcompact 9 and a Henry AR-7 ... should have that little baby early next week.

Good luck with it Bill. A friend has been shooting and carrying it and says it is great. He's been there done that and I trust his opinion explicitly. I still would carry the HiPower but it is not nearly as concealable. Will have to consider it one day. Be Well. Packy

Well, I picked mine up today and it really is compact. Nearly a miracle that it holds 10 + 1.
Put a few rounds through it to make sure it went bang, and it is surprisingly controllable. I'll need a lot more range time with it of course.
One thing I will say is, dang, that's a stout magazine spring! I had a job of it getting 10 rounds in. Even tried the Caldwell magazine loader and it was only good for two. Have both mags loaded and hope the spring tension will mellow out in time.

I think that worked on some of my new magazines in the past. Kept them loaded and later it took a detectable amount of less pressure to get the last rounds in. I remember now, it was the 50 GI magazines for the G 21. They really seem to be crammed in. Be Well. Packy

Maybe it was something I heard in the old days, but I never load a magazine to full capacity if it will be stowed for a long period of time. I wonder if LEOs feel the same. Pdog did post that magazine maintenance is crucial.

Fondled a P365(0) in the LGS.

The form factor is nice (10+1 in small package), but I thought the trigger was awful. The pull turned me off enough I forgot to play with the reset.

Relative to the Glock 26, I think the SIG P365 is a better-proportioned, less brick-like. The Glock trigger, while not good, is better than the P365.

I hope all who buy one enjoy them and find them reliable, but I think I'll pass. FTR, I like other SIG products: P238, P938, several others.



(0) I have a Kel-Tec P40 in .40S&W that is 6oz lighter for 9+1 capacity. KT still builds(1) the P-11 in 9mm for 10+1 capacity, also 6+oz lighter. Would have been nice to see less mass in the P365.

(1) Well I'll be dipped in apple butter. KT dropped the P-11. Still plenty out there, to include the PF-9.(2)

(2) That was a foot note to a foot note. Is that then a "Toe Note?" And would this one be a "Nail Note?"

IMO, magazine maintenance is, indeed, a critical element of making sure your kit is good to go. When I was working, I had any where from 6 to 10 mags for each gun I carried. I stored them empty, loading them only when I needed them. The ones I kept in the gun(s) were routinely rotated out for freshly loaded and cleaned mags. Moreover, I NEVER relied on a mag loaded by someone else. I ALWAYS loaded and cared for my own.

I did this with long guns as well, including AR platforms and the MP5. As far as tubular mag-fed shotguns, I had two, and rotated them regularly, keeping the mag on the unused gun empty.

This approach was drilled into me at a very early stage in my life, and one I still abide by today.

I have been playing with mine and comparing it against my favorite S&W 3954 bear killer, a Sig 290RS, Firestar Plus and two Kahr's and have come to appreciate each of them but I have to admit that the 365 is the easiest to shoot accurately.

I bought a Sig 320 subcompact and now wonder how it compares to the 365. The 320 also is a high capacity 9mm, which adds to its heft on my belt.

I’m more prone to carry it than my 45 Kimber, which I can shoot much more accurately.

I gave up carrying small pistols many years ago the smallest I carry now is my Glock 23.

In most states the need for one to absolutely hide ones firearm is no longer necessary.

99 percent of the people never notice a openly carried handgun.

This pistol has quickly become my favorite in this class. Only a thousand rounds through it but it has been totally reliable and this includes some fast as you can pull the trigger drills. The sights are very quick and readable. The accuracy for me has been the big surprise. Of course it does have a little bite to it after 100 rounds or so. So, yes I've been very impressed with it.

If you open carry the other guy knows what you have and can set you up. I'd rather let them think my smile makes me easy pickins. Let 'em get in close. Maybe they are instead on the fence about carrying and you startle them when they realize you're carrying and set them against firearms. You just created another enemy and don't we have enough of them in the Commies, er Democrats already??? Think or swim and Be Well, Packy

99% of interactions I have had has been positive.

Conversations insure and information given out.

If you know where open carriers were targeted please post them.

Just like filing your front sight of you bear defensive handgun. it is a non starter.

I recently purchased 2 1t found magazines for my 365 that is s huge amount of fire power in a small package. I find the 365 very easy to control and very accurate.
Love mine

Has anyone compared to 365 to the Springfield Hellcat? I like the sight options on the Hellcat. Cheaper and an extra round!

I carry a G19 exclusively but my son has a 365 and he loves it. Great little gun, snappier than my Glock but I like it
