Picked up a Sig P365 today

[2tango2]

Timing is everything right?  Wait lists up the wazoo for this micro pistol just about everywhere

Lucky You!
Anxious to hear the rest of the story.

That's. on my radar also.  Just waiting for the dust to settle.

I like the sub-compact size and 10+1 capacity of this P365.
Clever tapered magazine keeps it thin, light, and small. Best of all worlds.

I am anxious to hear reviews once they get out there, and especially how the trigger is. For carry safety, I would prefer something like a smooth 6.5 lb. with quick reset. Maybe like Sig's DAK trigger. I don't want to carry anything with too light a first round trigger.

I would really like a sub-compact single-stack 9mm DA/SA for EDC. (Hello CZ, are you listening??)
The Sig P239's are going away; and there's some nice close-out deals (while they last) on these. They're a bit heavy but all-metal frame and very accurate.
My other choice would be a 3rd gen S&W CS9 Chief's Special, disco'd in 2006 so hard to find and $$. And then I'd have the additional cost of upgrading sights, etc.

If this P365 has the right trigger, it might just fill the bill.
The right size between my micro-carry Sig 290rs and chunky RAMI BD.

Please keep us posted.

Wow nice pick up! I held one at my LGS and was thoroughly impressed. I?ll prob end up getting one once they work out all the kinks. Enjoy it!!

Have you considered the DAO Kahr CM9/Pm9?  They're great EDC pistols and seem to fit your needs.

When I shopped for a micro-9 I considered a Kahr; but noone had one to try, so I went with the Sig 290rs. 6+1 or 8+1 mags. Trigger is looong and heavy like 9-10lbs. but reasonably smooth. I'm used to DAO revolvers so I shoot the Sig OK 7 yards and in. I like the Siglite night sights and it point shoots really well for me, but I may still look to trade an extra pistol I have toward a used Kahr PM9 with night sights to give it a good try. It's the only other micro-9 that might do it as my Summer pocket carry. Trigger might be more to my liking and 7+1 hits the sweet spot.

Meanwhile, the Sig P365 would be thinner and not as chunky as my beloved RAMI BD with similar capacity.  We'll have to see.

Vinny - what about a P938?   Didn?t like it?

[2tango2]

I?ll be going to the range tomorrow hopefully so I?ll report back with my thoughts. 

I have a bunch of the smaller carry guns (P238, G42, G43, Shield, Kahr CW380, both Rami?s, P30SK, P239) and have owned a P938, XDS, EMP9 and more that I don?t recall. 

I?ll give an assessment on how it stacks up. 

I will say just dry firing it?s trigger feels less than 6.5 lbs.  I find the trigger very nice

Good suggestion.
The P938 shot the best of about 8 different micro-9's I tried. It's really nice, good sights, great trigger and a surprisingly accurate little bugger. Although I own several 1911's; I don't want to carry cocked/locked SAO with safety. I know many would disagree, just my choice that I prefer DA/SA or a good smooth DAO. I like that 1st round DA; all my CZ's are DA/SA de-cockers.

BTW....
Some of the micro-9's I tried were just not well made (read: junk). At the time two years ago, the Sig P290rs or Kahr PM-9 was as close as I could get to what I wanted in a micro.
The build quality on that micro Sig is ...well...it feels like a real gun. The Glock 43 was OK too, but I don't prefer strikers for carry.

P290rs came with both the 6+1 or 8+1 magazines providing max capacity in that size gun. However, contrary to what I thought at the time; I actually learned to shoot the 6 round mag very well two-fingered with my pinky locked under the mag and my strong hand thumb squeezing down locked over my support thumb. I can't get 3 fingers on my RAMI 10 round mag either; and use the same grip. Works for me.

Did you make it to the range? How did you do? Were you able to try a 12rd mag?

I did and sorry to say it did not go well


In fact on its way back to Sig right now

Couple failure to extracts and more troubling is peening of the slide


It?s very hit or miss with the P365.  You either get a good one or one with issues

Take a look over on the Sig Talk forums.  You?ll see the good and bad


One thing of note is this sucker is loud.  And I mean with foamies and muffs on it was almost too loud. 

We will see if Sig corrects the issues with the barrel and FTE?s

Oh also be careful of that slide stop.  It?s very easy to not have the slide lock back on the last round with a traditional thumbs forward grip (typical Sig lol)

When Sig first came out with the P290 micro-9; apparently there were issues.
They reworked the design and added 're-strike' capability and re-inro'd it as the P290rs. Now unfortunately; after too little too late it's been disco'd. The P239 a fine DA/SA single-stack sub-compact has also been disco'd I suppose to make room for their new wonder pistol....the P365.

The P365 has the potential to be a 'do-all' carry gun if they can only work out the bugs.

Let's hope.

Please keep us posted after you get it back from Sig.
