Please post Link to the video. The P365 is double action with the striker partially tensioned as the slide is cycled, then fully cocked and released by pressing the trigger. I don't think they could Dry fire it without a partial slide cycling!

So far, I like everything about the gun except the price tag!
This is the only video I have found and he cycled the slide before pulling the trigger. Is there another video?

Multiple options from S&W, Walther, Ruger, [mumble] Taurus, even Glock.

I think I'll try one, then wait for Sig's usual 1st year of "we rushed it to market, so we need to refine it", if I like it. But, even the extra capacity will be hard pressed to beat how well and like a big gun my Walther PPS M2 shoots.
It is also very interesting Sig, didn't allow those press folks to shoot for accuracy indoors. Hmmmmmm

Call me very interested. I never bought a sig because most of them are hammer fired which i hate for CCW. This gun however, being lighter than the shield is interesting. Now they could ruin it and price it at $600 which would be the normal Sig thing to do. But if they can price this similar to the shield or Kahr, i would be on board. Whats not to like about this??????

This sounds the same as my Sig P320, you can "kind of" dry fire it without racking the slide. To get the full effect you have to rack the slide like most striker fired pistols. The p365 sounds interesting to me. I like the Shield, but 10rnds, 18oz, standard night sights, ect - buy once, cry once may need to be applied.

I'm curious if the 1" measurement is really 1". Although they call it a "modified" double-stack magazine, it's still a double-stack. Maybe 1" width around the slide, but the frame/grip area??? A G26 or MPc 1.0 are around 1.2" wide and the Shield is less than 1" ...

Not sure. I always measure the slide without the safeties since that's what goes in my belt.

I prefer the ability to know the gun can not be fired if I do my part, before I holster or when I am at the range with my gun. It is amazing how many times there are "accidental discharges" when holstering a gun. Several ranges have prohibited holstering or unholstering of firearms inside the range, at least in part, due to the increased potential of unintended rounds firing in the process. I know a manual safety does. eliminate the possibility, but not leaves the onus on me to properly handle and train vs. not having the option.

The new SIG is a nice looking pistol, but the 5.8" length takes it off my radar. For me, sight radius is a very important part of practical accuracy, especially with small guns. My Shield 9 is 6.1" long with a sight radius of 5.2". The Shield's sight radius is actually very long for its total length because the rear sight is all the way on the back edge of the slide. I haven't seen any measurement for the SIG, but based on the length of 5.8" and the fact that the rear sight is a little forward of the slide's back edge, I'm guessing that the sight radius could be a half inch shorter than the Shield. In a small gun, that's a big difference.

Practically the difference is none existent. But if you look at the picture of the outlines the Shield rear sits barely behind the Sig rear sights.
