I got one on Tuesday from Academy. Second time I had stopped in there after hearing they were trickling in. Missed out on the first three they got. Tuesday I got the last one and had to ask as it was in the safe and not in the display case.

I already had a 12 round magazine so after looking for non existent turkeys in the morning my friend and I fired about 200 rounds from the P365.
Smooth light trigger with short reset. I shot about 40 Federal HST 124's and the rest were handloaded JHP bullets. No problems at all. A really sweet gun to shoot and not bad with the flush magazine either.
I found myself shooting slightly low but I hate three dot sights and I think that was my problem but as they are nice night sights and this is a defensive gun not a target gun, I concentrated on keeping the front sight up a hair and after that all my hits were dead center. Before they were about 4" low but still would have stopped a bad guy.
Thousands of these on backorder or wait list everywhere but they are showing up. I didn't think anything would replace my Shield but slight smaller and more rounds, the Sig might just do it. I am mostly a CZ guy and this is the first Sig I have ever owned.

Shield is my EDC. Taking a goooooood hard look at picking one of these up.... Smaller and +4 rounds in the same package? Uh, sign me up? Will be on the look for one when the dust settles from the busy release....

Add me to the potential buy list. Almost the same size as my G43 and smaller than my PPS M2, that is impressive for a gun with 10+1 capacity.

I arrived too late today at my LGS; Two came in this morning, and within 10 minutes they were GONE!

I got an email at 1pm saying they were IN STOCK at DEGUNS, and by 5pm when I read the email; they were GONE!

I guess my only solace is that the longer I have to wait....hopefully the better they'll get.  ::)

I just checked one out at a LGS today, just dry firing and handling.

It really is quite impressive how small they were able to get this 10+1 9mm to be.  And although the grip itself is very small in my medium-large hands, it still feels like a solid purchase and not oddly small like on a Glock 43 or one of those micro Kahrs.  The trigger (any least dry fired) feels quite good , a simple makeup and break, probably smoother overall than the P320.

I am really not in the market for this pistol, but it is quite hard not to want one just for the achievement that it is as a platform.  If it holds up and proves reliable and durable, then I really do believe it is a major step forward in carry pistols.  I still probably wouldn't carry one appendix like I do my grip-safetied SA XDs and DA/SA CZ PCR.  But it truly is a handy little nine that holds as much as my state-limited-capacity full-sized 9mm guns.  At the very least, I think it would make an outstanding backup gun discreetly tucked away or on an ankle.  A 10+1 rd 9mm that's smaller and lighter than a Walther PPK, and probably shoots better as well?  Heck yes!

So after checking one out, my first impressions are kudos to Sig on the design.  May have to pick one up once all the hype dies down a bit.  But it's worth the hype, IMO.

Does it pocket carry well?  Say, compared to the P938?

Since it is the same size as the G43, I would say absolutely.

It?s big for pocket carry, IMO. P238 or BG is as big as I would go.

I have a Shield, would never consider pocket carry.

I've pocket carried my G43 in a pinch once or twice. Not even close to ideal, a 42 fits much better. Even though the 43 fit, I'm not  confident at all that it wouldn't have hung up when drawn.

I pocket carry a G42 in the same Sticky holster as shown in the picture.  The P365 fits for the front pocket but it is heavier as one would expect
