I've been thinking of getting another CCW pistol. I like the feel of the Sig P365. In some of the online reviews that I've seen, the P365 has had reliability issues. Things such as broken trigger springs. Has Sig worked out the bugs in these pistols?

Mine was one of the newer ones after they had supposedly fixed all of the initial issues. I will say that I had zero malfunctions in about 300 rounds, but the pistol just wasn't for me. If you get one. make sure it comes with SigLite night sights and comes in the smaller, grey Sig box. Those are the newer wave of them.

Ditched the P365. Back to the Shield 45!

I have put about 500 rounds through my 365, and I have no problems of any kind. At it's intended range of 10-15 yards the accuracy is more than satisfactory, it will keep them in the black on a 50 ft rapid fire target.

Mine was made in August last year, I think. Other than an early problem with one of the magazine followers hanging up under load (seems to have resolved itself) the gun has been flawless for 500 rounds or so. I enjoy shooting it

I hear very little bad about P365s from people who actually own one. You can find almost any opinion about a gun from people you don’t know while viewing the internet.

Most of the folks I know who own 365s, including me, have purchased them within the last year or so. Nothing negative - except the SAS, and the price of spare magazines. A couple guys who bought SAS thought it might be just the ticket, and later decided it was a mistake, for them.

Based on my own very limited experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another 365 if I thought I needed one. Of the mini-9s, I consider it by far the best. Very nice little gun, but considerably heavier than my 340PD.

I have ~3000 rds thru mine, my EDC. Picked it up in Oct 2018. The gun has been boringly reliable. Don’t know anything near it’s size, weight, capacity, reliability, or accuracy that can beat it.
Have no knowledge of the Hellcat, the only other contender to the crown.
As noted, magazines are somewhat expensive.

I’m your Boogie Man, uh huh.

Had mine 9 months now, so a newer production run. Likely the last CC semi I ever buy, don't know how anything could be a substantial improvement over it.
Has been 100% reliable with 1000 rounds of both range and HP ammo, very good trigger, much less recoil then my 642, same size and only two oz heavier, 10 to 12 rounds per mag choice vs. 5, and am more accurate with it.
Mine has a manual safety which I reqjuire in a striker fired pistol carried either pocket or AWIB, and has a Hogue Handall on it which works very well with my large hands.

Mine has been 100% trouble free so far. I do not keep track of round count after the first 300 or so. I have had mie for a long time. Ser # is in the 80--- thousand range.

I bought one last year -- cautiously, because I was aware of the problems with the early ones. It ran great. Then I let my wife shoot it, which was a mistake. She promptly appropriated it for her own use. A few months ago I got my myself a P365 XL. It wouldn't go into battery reliably during the first box of ammo I fired, but I gave it a thorough cleaning and it has run without a hitch since then. I now consider the 365 and the 365 XL as totally satisfactory.

I bought mine early (as early as I could get one). I actually bought two, one for me and one for my son who is a police officer. Neither has given any problems whatsoever.

I have been a revolver guy forever. My first three issued handguns were S&W revolvers. Even when we were issued semi-autos I carried a revolver as a backup/undercover/off duty gun. Since I retired from full time work in 2009, I qualified with and carried a revolver almost exclusively. That was until I got the P365. Now, its my main concealed carry gun. Prior to buying it my primary carry gun was a S&W Model 940. When comparing the guns it was a non-decision. Same size, same weight and over twice the capacity and similar recoil.

As a reserve officer and under LEOSA I am required to qualify annually both day and night. Daylight qualification goes back to 25 yards. My scores have increased dramatically from the revolver. I tell people that the P365 is a little gun that thinks its a big gun.

I talked with a good friend yesterday who retired as the state firearms coordinator for ATF recently. He bought a P365 and that's all he carries now.

While the internet was awash with "issues" caused by the gun, my unscientific sample has provided no guns with issues. I know the law enforcement firearms distributor I bought my gun from has sold hundreds, if not thousands, and they tell me they have not had a gun come back for problems.

The only suggestion I have if you buy one is to buy a magazine loader. The mags are very tight and it will save your hands if you shoot it a lot.

I highly recommend the gun.

I've posted these photos before, but they will give you an idea of the size compared to the J frame Model 940.

My 365 has a manufacture date of 23-JUN-2018. When it was new there were a couple of times it would not return to battery with a full magazine. Sigforum members said shoot it. Haven't had a problem after about 200 rounds. I'm over 1000 now. I added a Hogue Beavertail Grip Sleeve. It fills my hand better than the stock grip. It's a $12 add-on.

Another vote for the P365. I have carried a Glock 26 for quite a few years because of its reliability and size. The P365 I bought last year has pretty much replaced my 26 as my daily carry, and that's saying something. Shoots dead to the sights, accurate, and about 1000 rounds with no issues at all. A little thinner than the 26, and that makes a real difference for IWB carry

I have well over 1,000 rounds through mine. I did have one malfunction at round count about 950, but it wasn't the fault of the pistol. I actually shoot mine much better than my 2" revolvers and I cut my teeth on revolvers. I think you will be happy with the reliability of the Sig P 365. Mine is my EDC.

I have given some thought to a sig 365 but I have a Glock 43 with a plus two mag. That gives me 9 rounds just two less than the sig.Is it worth spending $500 plus to gain 2 rounds.

FWIW anyone who knows me is aware I am not a “Sig guy“ at all. I am by no means a hater of Sig but their semi auto pistols just never did anything for me when I shot them and I therefore never owned any.

UNTIL early last year when I shot and now own not one but two 2019 Production P365s (consecutive serial numbers) which I refer to as the guns I love to hate!

They are all I seem to carry now.

The one I EDC has been flawless with several thousand rounds.

IMVHO the P365s are hard to beat as they filled a EDC niche that was very empty for a very long time by combining reliability, accuracy, capacity, excellent sights and ergonomics in a 9x19mm platform comparable to the size of a J Frame.

Just my 2 Cents, Hope this helps.

Personally , I seen 2 confirmed negatives:
#1. Footprint --- just nor comfortable in my hands
#2. Cost

Otherwise , a very fine firearm

Mine has run flawless as well. I'm a revolver guy to the core, but several of my shooting buddies carry the P365 and I decided to give one a try especially since I was able to get one wholesale I have purposely run a variety of ammo through it and mixed it up and even ran some old dirty stuff through it. I've run brass case, steel and aluminum. If its going to be a carry gun, I want to know it will run anything. It has not missed a beat. One thing I agree with @WCCPHD. Spend the money on a mag loader if you don't have one. The mags are tough especially the last couple of rounds. I have several that came with other guns but picked up a UpLULA based on referrals by friends and it is the BOMB! By far the best mag loader I've ever tried.

four rounds difference, carry mine loaded with 12 round mag. The 365 has a much better trigger, comes with very good sights, with the 12 round mag more compact than my G43, which I sold for $400, was with a plus two mag.
And I just shoot the 365 better. Suggest trying one.

I say buy one,I haven't had any problem with mine and I EDC it and my S&W 442-2,638-3 .38 SPL+P Airweight's

Life is short,live it fully.

Very easy 9mm to conceal in south Florida
Only 400 or so rounds ball and hollow point
From 10 & 12 round mags. No malfunctions.
Not my favorite 9MM, but favorite to carry.
Got easier to load mags each time i shoot it.
I say its a home run for sig.

I also carry my P365 with the Twelve Round Magazine.

Here is a good picture comparing the G43 with a 8 Round Magazine to the P365 with a 12 Round magazine.

Although it is definitely possible to fund the majority of the P365 by selling the G43 I will reiterate what Ladder13 said about the Sig Mags being pricey.

For me personally I didn’t mind the price of a few extra 12 Round magazines as the P365 came with night sights and cost me about the same with the extra magazines as the Glock would once I replaced the factory polymer sights with night sights.

It’s all a trade off and simply comes down to what works best for each of us.

I did not mind the 365 when I was looking but much preferred the 365 XL. I believe everything that makes it run is the same as the 365.
I brought mine home along with a case of 124 gr. ammo. Without an initial cleaning and no in between cleaning, it ran 600+ rounds through it without a problem. Cleaned it and have run 4 different defense rounds through it with zero issues
Everyone I know who has the either the 365 or the XL has reported very reliable service.
My only suggestion is to try the XL before you are a decision. It is not very much bigger and I found it a better shooter for me.

All three of my P365s have been great. Two standard and one XL. Now my primary carry.

I have 1500+ through mine with out a hitch. More importantly for me anyhow 1k of those were reloads. Something my khar or xds45 wouldn’t do. It’s also replaced my 442 as my edc.

I agree with everything you said. I think Glock sights and trigger are the big minuses of the brand. I like the dovetailed front sight on Sig striker fired pistols and the trigger action is far superior.

Happy owner here. Upwards of 700 rounds, mostly reloads, without a single problem. Been my daily carry since December 2018.

Love mine, it has become my car gun. have only put a couple thousands rounds of mixed ammo through it but zero problems so far.

Rent it a your local range and put some rounds through it. IMHO you can't go wrong. It is SUPER accurate for such a small profile handgun. I have 10, 12, and 15 round magazines.

It is. An Offset Belt Clip. My favorite IWB holster.

MY wife has a XL as her new EDC and it was made in May last years . Simply a very good shooter and her edc now . Round counts still low only had it a few weeks , maybe 450 rounds thru it but no issues . No drag marks on primers so most have some production upgrads striker . My wife shoots it well enough at 10 yards with only the second mag full to shoot a couple 6 shot groups of 1.5" . Surprised me for sure . She carry's it in her old 1911 commander iwbholster for now and ordered a wright leather closer holster for it . See how that works out as it ain't cheap ! At least I get my kimber 9mm back
