Sig Sauer P365

[nachogrande]

HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN.

That's a introductory price. They'll drop a good bit for Christmas '18.

That said, they really need to be in ~$300 to be truly competitive with the other guns in their class.

300 $ I don't think so, but one can hope. An answer to the SCCY??? You're kidding, right?

Good video. Would like the URL so I can send it to my nephew

I'm on the Sonoran Desert too. Green Valley

I think it's a very intriguing piece but it will be hard to replace the goodness of my PPS and divinity of my Shield. My fav single stacks to date. I like the round capacity in the 365 but the shield and PPS won my heart over for single stacks so Sig has a mighty high hill to climb against both. I think it can beat out the PPS but the shield will be hard to beat outside of capacity

This pistol seems to me to be designed to compete with the Glock 26. I'd like to see one . . .

I agree. I hope S&W/M&P follows Sig's example!

 

[SC_Mike]

I'll give it 12 months before considering one.

Yeah, by then we'll know what happens when you drop it . . .

Still too big for pocket carry by my standards, so I don't see any real advantage over my G26. Even if I was interested, I'd still wait a year a two so all the bugs could be worked out. It has been drawing a lot of attention and will likely be a big seller for Sig.

Not entirely. I shot one recently and I was surprised how well it shot, particularly in the recoil department. It was far more comfortable than my LC9s with a Hogue. Yes, it has a long 8-9 lb trigger, but that's fine for me on a gun with no manual safety.

The P365 is certainly SIGs answer to the SCCY, or really the Keltec P11 that the SCCY is a copy of. After Ruger copied the Keltec P3AT for the LCP and then the Keltec PF-9 started the single stack 9mm movement, I've wondered for years why a major manufacturer wasn't apeing Keltec's 9mm double stack that is smaller than a Shield or G43. If Keltec can do it, why can't Ruger or SIG improve the design and release it as their own?

Well, SIG has finally done it. I'm not sure why they needed a proprietary mag design since Keltec has done it for years with a S&W mag, but if it works reliably I'll have no complaints. I think this will crush single stack 9mm sales, especially if they can get the price down to under $400. If both guns are made by top tier manufacturers, why would anyone buy a single stack 9mm when they could spend just a bit more and get a double stack that is smaller than the single?

So, by doing almost everything a G26 can do while being slightly smaller than a G43 or Shield, this gun will impact the sales of a bunch of guns - the subcompact double stack and single stack 9mm markets are going to take a big hit.

There seems to be a size threshold that is very difficult to overcome with the micro guns being difficult to shoot well and tending to be very finicky. I think many companies don't want to tarnish their reputation by putting out unreliable and inaccurate tiny guns. I'd like to have a pocket auto and have read hundreds of reviews, but have not yet found one that meets my standards of reliability. They all seem to be hit and miss in that regard and why the Glock 26 is still the smallest auto I currently own.

"MICRO"????

MICRO? I think Sig just made that up. It doesn't appear to be that much smaller than many "subs/compacts" & a whole lot bigger than Secamps & Kahr PM's, etc.

Got two on order. Let's see who gets their hands on one first.

...and it carries a whole lot more ammo. I don't think the P365 will be a pocket pistol. I EDC a Kahr CM-9. The P365 will be a contender for the Glock 43 and M&P Shield. It will also be a consideration for those who now carry a Keltec, SCCY, Ruger and any other pistol in the small, but not subcompact (pocket pistol).

IIRC, I have owned seventeen Sig handguns. I still have twelve of them, my son has two, the other three were sold. Sig makes quality firearms, for the most part. However, the Mosquito was less than stellar. The original P250 had issues. The SP2009/2340 got a proprietary rail which failed to catch on. The P320 design was flawed and is now subject to a "voluntary upgrade". I would thus approach any new Sig model with caution.

I don't want a Sig P365, but if the model turns out to be problem free I will likely buy one for my son next Christmas.

I was in the market to get a Beretta 92FS Compact, which holds 13+1 rounds and is only a bit of a BRICK than the full-size 92FS is.
Now, I see this new P365 that holds 12+1 (with the extended mag) and it weighs just over half of what the 92 Compact does.
Hmmm... I'm going to have to wait until I check the 365 out first before making a decision to go with the Beretta.


BTW, my local shop expects them to arrive any day and is pricing them at $499 + tax.

 

[Gamecock]

I shot a friend of my son's Mosquito. It had the worst trigger pull of any gun I ever shot. Ever.

It wasn't the feel, it was the length of pull. It felt like you had to pull it thru 2 inches of travel. I would ask myself, "Is this thing ever going to go off?" Sometimes I'd ask twice in a single shot.

 

[Gamecock]

I own 3 Sig pistols. Not only well made, but also well designed.

Got cash ready for a P210 Super Target when available.

Let's qualify the term "brick" here. Here is my S&W 65-3 lying on top of my Beretta 92fs Inox. Not much difference in width either, though I do not have a photo from that angle.
