I had a chance to shoot a 365 yesterday and was really impressed with how it felt given the size of the gun.  It's a lot smaller in person than it tends to look in photos but shoots like a larger gun.  I currently have a Sig P238 and Sig P938 and it's every bit as shootable as those are.  I used to have a PF9 and hated that thing.  The Sig is nothing like that at all.  It feels like a 3/4 scale version of a P320.

Yeah....that tapered magazine is the whole deal. If it feeds reliably.
I saw a recent review where they went through 500 flawless rounds feeding all kinds of ammo.

They reported a measured trigger pull averaging about 6-1/4 lbs. IMO that's about perfect for an EDC if it's smooth with a short reset. I personally wouldn't want the trigger any lighter in MY pocket.

And now that they've switched to the X-Ray 3 sights that's a big plus (I have them on my new P229 and they're excellent!).

So, we'll look forward to a report from 2Tango2 after receiving his re-worked P365 back from Sig.

I have been shooting a Sig P320c with great success; accurate, good sights, ,smooth trigger, fits my hands.
The P365 is a wee version of the 320c, I shot a friends P365 and it felt just as good as the P320.
I wish them luck with it, it should be a great carry gun. Unfortunately were I am located (Maryland) is is almost impossible
to get a carry permit.

Sorry lost track of time. I received the P365 back from Sig last Friday.  Quick turn around on their part.   3 days maybe?   Being 30-35 minutes away from the Sig Mothership helps too

 That?s the good news. The bad news is I have not had an opportunity to shoot it as of yet.  They replaced the barrel and fired s number of rounds through it.  Said no malfunctions Taking a look at the barrel it looks like it?s going to have that little wear spot in the corner of the hood. I think it?s unavoidable on some P365s.  It?s odd how some guys P365s look mint And others look like they?ve had 20,000 rounds fired through them after one range session

I think mine fall somewhere in between LOL. I will try to get out this weekend and get back with an updated report

I am sorry to hear that you had trouble with this nice gun. Thank you for posting and informing us.
I was contemplating this one, but still have hots for P229 Legion, and I am surprised I didn't see that on the list of your carry guns.
Too heavy ?
I have (and love) that little P30sk - which is my summer carry gun.

Shot it about a couple of hours ago in the snow rain drizzle and 30 degrees.     The good news is 0 failures or stoppages this time out.....fired 180 rounds

Barrel shows a bit of wear but not to the extent the other it replaced




Still undecided if it is a worthy replacement for either my Glock 42 or 43

I?ve owned a few P229s but am finding myself more partial to the 226 [emoji16]

I received a P365 for a customer on Friday.  I checked it out when he picked it up.  I have very large hands (2xl golf glove) and I just couldn't hold it comfortably.  If it had a large back-strap it probably would be fine.  I still have one on back-order anyway, LOL.
I remember when "Common Sense" was common.  I must really be old!

The 12 round mag helps quite a bit

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.

I have three Sigs and for me they all shoot dead center with a 'Combat' sight picture.....placing the front dot right over the target bull's eye.  I love my RAMI BD but it's a bit chubby for EDC. The Sig 365 just might do it.

Good to read reviews and updates. I'm very intrigued but I'll wait a while. They're too hard to find right now anyway.
