Sig P365 in hand with comparisons Update with Range Time

What’s the street price on the P365 right now? The MSRP in American Rifleman is $600, but a quick check of GB shows some price gouging going on. I know the price should drop once they start getting into circulation.

Brownells says you can back order one for $499.99.

Been watching several U-tube vids on this gun. It kinda seems like 2 opposing sides with the truth somewhere in the middle. An area I haven't seen/heard much on, is the slide & frame rails: metal to metal, metal to plastic, full length or partial? When new I thought the PM9 was a game changer, & sold it off cuz I felt the rails were a weak spot & it wouldn't hold up to a high round count. Want it small & light, expect trade offs. "small/light" S/D gun that jams after 1,000+ rounds WITHOUT as much as a brush out, Gimme a break.

NachoGrande,

I do not have the gun here in hand to snap a pic right now, but they are steel rails and are as full length as you are going to get on a small gun. No little Glock tabs on this little pistol.

FWIW, I have a Kahr PM40 and it has never had an issue with rail wear after a LOT of rounds through it. Some designs seem like they might have issues based on common sense, BUT many times good engineering can prove common sense wrong.

Hoping to have a range report tomorrow. Will get that weight fully loaded too.
 
THANKS NQ

The reason I asked is cuz the PM9 I owned developed a burr on the frame 1/2 of the slide around 500 rounds. MAYBE it was smoothing itself out & MAY have been an improvement, after a time??? It didn't instill much faith & after getting the 239 I sold the PM9. Steel on steel full length rails would be a first choice, BUT it may be 1 of the compromises that comes with the 365.
 
NachoGrande,

I have also gotten rid of more than few firearms that I lost confidence in or grew concerned about for one reason or another!
 
First range trip with the gun and very impressed. Ran all 200 rounds flawlessly and was a very soft shooting gun. Ran 124 grain Blazer, Winchester NATO 124 grains and HST 124 grain. Still want to run another 300-400 rounds through it before carrying it.

You could check the Greensboro Gander Outdoors. They should have recently received a shipment of P365s. I picked one up in MN last week on the day they were received. Retail was $499.

Thanks for that. I was close to there a couple hours ago but didn't go in. I'm reluctant to do business with that gentleman, given his views. I did get to handle a pre-production sample today at a LGS and I'm more sold than before.

I'm really curious about whether Brownells has shipped any to anyone. I've had one on order from them for more than two months.

Don't believe that have shipped any yet. Folks over at the Sig forum are all bent out of shape about it.

Your not kidding. Nobody has been charged a red cent that preordered, and they think Brownells is trying to scam them. They simply haven't had any shipped and the delay with the original release has set them back.
 
I agree. I've got no complaint with how I've been treated by Brownells. I've bought plenty from them and never had a problem. I also understand that, if they had 'em, they'd ship 'em. That's how they make money.

I just wanna gun. :eek:
 
I'm so glad they kept the slide narrow and put a bevel on it. Ever since Glock became the standard, it seems like blocky and clunky went from weird to accepted to fashionable, and very few guns were made to be slick and easy to carry. Look at a 1903 Browning: Length, height and weight for it's power suffer in comparison to something like a Glock 26, but it's much easier to carry concealed.

I'm with them that said this may be a game changer for my CCW piece. I've avoided the switch to 9 from .45, but yeah 10+1 in that package is hard to resist.
 
I have had my 365 for a couple weeks now and have about 250rds through it. Nice pistol. It is the revised version with improved spring, barrel relief cuts and Xray3 night sights. None of the ammo I shot was a problem. It shoots pretty soft for its size. I think the concept is great. What's not to like about a quality pistol this size with 11-13rds on board. Here are a few pics next to Wife's G42. Many comparing it to the 43, but as you can see, it's a tiny sucker. I also like the full, metal slide rails.
