I’ve owned my P365 for over 4 1/2 years now (my EDC /CCW) and have shot around 6,000 rounds now. No failures, nothing ever broken, all springs and operation work as designed, - it’s been a great CCW / EDC gun!

I have read on the Sig Forum that Sig “suggests” THEY perform a service at the 3,000 - 4,000 round count. I did not as everything has been absolutely great. I recently hit the 6,000 round count and am thinking about doing the service. I actually have all the “wear parts” (mostly springs) and the firing pin assy. but have not done the service yet.

I called Sig this morning, spoke to a Tech and he said Sig only “suggests” the 3k service but said if it were his gun and running flawlessly he’d only actually replace the trigger return spring (I’ve got one) and leave it at that since they have fixed the initial issues 5-6 years ago-we’ll before mine was made.3 He said most owners don’t really send their P365’s in for service with no apparent issues and I am wondering wether or not I should leave the original springs and parts in there as the gun is super smooth, as reliable as any handgun I’ve ever owned, (including revolver) so I’ve been thinking about this. Yea I know….. this should be my biggest problem-Lol! With other firearms I usually replace springs and parts on an as needed basis and that practice has always served me well. Soooooo, what is your theory? If I do the service I’ll do it myself as I did buy all the parts a while ago-I like having extra wear parts for all my guns. Anyone else here done a full service? Round counts??

I have about ten semi-auto pistols. The last one I bought was a used Colt 1911 that I purchased in 2006. The rest I've had over twenty years; most were bought new. All have been fired extensively with cast bullets. The only ones that have ever been touched or had parts replaced were two Colt 1911 .45s that were accurized by Clark Custom. Neither had worn internals that I was aware of when they were they were turned over to Clark for the work. One had previously been accurized by Clark, but after twenty-five years it loosened up some and needed accurizing again.

I would say 6,000 rounds in a handgun (semi-auto or revolver) is minimal to very moderate use and shouldn't require any sort of parts replacement (unless you're experiencing problems) except routine replacement of a recoil spring in a 1911 every few thousand rounds or when you think about it.

I attempted to keep track of rounds fired some years ago with a new rifle. The practice was quickly abandoned at just over 500 rounds. For me, it took some of the fun out of load development and shooting.

Probably wouldn't hurt to replace the Recoil Spring Assembly. The owner's manual says "You should replace it at 2500 round intervals."

Congratulations on hitting the 6000 round mark with your carry gun.👍 Most will not see that much use, I think.
I carry a P365XL and Sig told me recoil spring at 4000 rounds. So I think you should do that for sure.
I don’t count rounds through any of my pistols, maybe I should, but my Sig has been totally reliable so far. I shoot it, keep it clean and lubed and will probably put a recoil spring in it next year.
Sounds like you have spare parts and can fix any problems that arise.

Somebody was bound to say this, so it may as well be me. Your pistol has been reliable and has had a goodly amount of use. You might say it has proven its case. But parts do wear and you don't want it to give up the ghost in a crisis. It's not like a range gun that just cuts you day short. A malfunctioning defense gun could cut your life short.

If it were me, I'd have Sig go through it and fix anything they notice. Then, when you get it back consider it a "new" gun and run a bunch of rounds though it to make it prove itself again. For me, that's the kind of confidence I'd want in a defense gun.

Chief: Your discussions about the P365 convinced me I needed one. You were spot-on. I have been delighted with it. Sig did their homework on it.

I would replace the trigger return spring now and while at it, look for signs of excessive wear anywhere else, replacing anything that shows excessive wear (pins, etc.).
On a range-only gun, I'd replace the recoil spring setup when it started to shows signs that it was getting tired. But, it is your EDC and it couldn't hurt to replace the recoil spring leaving no doubt about it. Keep the old one as a spare.

Congratulations on the 6k round count, I have about a third of that through mine with zero malfunctions. They are great little guns.

You are to be commended for hitting the 6K round count with your 365. I would recommend doing what the service tech suggests with parts replacement. They obviously have seen a lot of guns and know the wear patterns. When my dept carried Sigs, we kept a good round count and would replace such parts as suggested. I would additionally comment and suspect that you do not participate in the daily “gun rotation” so many pride themselves of doing. When fractions of a second count, it is nice to know that the “what am I carrying today” thought is not necessary.

Your certainly right regarding your comment on the daily rotators. However, it's apparent there are those who practice concealed carry for the most basic reason of defense and there are concealed carrier hobbyists who have interests beyond basic defense. Nothing wrong with that, but it would seem the daily rotators would be in the hobbyist group. "What am I carrying today" should never be a consideration.
