Sig P365. Shield Killer

[comiskeybum]

For 3 years in a row the shield was the top selling stingle stack 9mm striker fired. The 3rd most selling gun of 2017.

The new P365 with 10+1 and a slightly smaller profile looks to change that in my opinion. I myself am likely going to get one as I cant resist the idea of 10+1 in a pocket carry gun.

Screw waiting for a bodyguard 2.0, this little Sig has my full attention. With summer coming I think I am sold on it.

It has a MSRP of about twice the current selling price of a Shield...of course the actual selling price may be lower. The Shield is proven, but I think I'd wait awhile before considering one. As for me, I will stick with my Shield 45.

I held the P365 today. I didn't like it because the grip cuts into the palm of my hand, hate that feeling. The Shield grip is more full and just feels great in my hand. Sig will sell them, but I don't see this gun dominating in anyway.

If it's free I'll get one. If it's not then I'll wait a few years to see what it actually is

MSRP for shield 2.0 is $479 standard sights.
MSRP for 365 $599 with night sights.

Put some night sights on the shield and where do you stand?

It will definitely cut into Shield sales, but I do not think it will be a Shield "killer" in that S&W will drop the Shield to come up with a 10+1 subcompact 9mm in a similar footprint.

Regardless, I won't be running out to buy one, as I already have what I need.

To me, the bottom line is that this healthy competition among gun companies is forcing them to innovate, and we consumers are reaping the rewards.

We are living in a Golden Age of handgun weapons.

I want one but I will not be giving up any of my Shield(s).

Same as with regular sights...behind it. I make it a policy to never stand in front of a firearm.

I thought the Glock 43 was the Shield killer? And wasn't the Shield the Walther PPS killer? For being dead there are a lot of living gun.

I like what I'm seeing with the SIG and will likely get one. I have a soft spot for SIGs and I have yet to be disappointed with one I've bought.

Now will they offer it in .357 sig

On a serious note, I've owned a few SIGs: P220, P228, P239, P238, a 1911 (can't remember the model), and an SP2022 in 9mm. They are good guns, with a hefty price tag (for the metal frame guns, anyway) and it seems like I remember the mags being super expensive. Or maybe I'm recalling the H&Ks I owned whose mags were so expensive. Anyway, at the time I owned them, SIG's service was in a slump, but I was fortunate not to have any problems. I don't know how their service rates now.

Most Sig mags run $40, even the single stack ones for the P290 guns. Bad joke, IMHO.

The cost of mags means nothing to me.

I don't see it killing the Shield but if it works I can see other manufacturer's emulating this mag design. More rounds in the same space = better

Will be real difficult for anything to break my affair with my shield 45... talk about a gun that feels good in your hand and oh by the way is accurate (at least mine is)

HK mags run about $35 with a few exceptions

There are obviously pros and cons. I keep 10+1 in my Shield anyway. So that's no advantage. The only perceived advantage would be the smaller size, which might not be an advantage to some. Can I shoot the smaller Sig as well as the Shield (which took me a while to get the hang of itself)? The Shield is very soft shooting for its size, so I like to practice with it. Will I want to practice with the Sig? And then there are aesthetics. I think Sigs are ugly and the P365 is no exception. Some don't care about, but I do. With all that said, it might be awesome. If it is, then I may give a spin (Not getting rid of my Shield though)

I’d wait to see if it passes the drop test first.

Time will tell. Sig guys will be all over it. My Shield's been dependable as the sun rising in the East right out of the box. I'll be sticking with it.
