SIG HAS DONE IT - THE SMALLEST, LIGHTEST 9MM WITH THE LARGEST CAPACITY!

The only magazine I use with my P365 is the 12 rounder that came with it.

I don't carry a spare magazine. If I did, it would be the 21 shot!

... He loaded up the magazine and took his first shot. It went fine. But as he squeezed off round after round, the thing started to feel... unbalanced. The recoil was more than he was used to. The small frame of the P365 wasn’t built for a magazine that big, and the muzzle began to rise uncontrollably. He tried to correct, but it was like trying to steer a jet with a toy joystick.

“Jeez, dude,” Mike said, watching Dave struggle. “Maybe you should try a bigger gun. That thing looks like a gimmick now.”

Dave was determined. He spent the next half hour blasting through the entire 21-round mag. By the end of it, he was sweating. His wrist hurt. His accuracy was shot to hell...

I realize this is fiction and supposed to be humorous, but why would his pistol feel "unbalanced"?

Why would it recoil more?

The small frame of the gun was built to accommodate any size magazine, and why would the muzzle rise uncontrollably? Why would he be sweating? Why would his wrist hurt?

I don't get it.

When Sig introduced the 17-round mag for the P365, I bought two. After spending about 45 minutes with my UPlula trying to load them with 17 rounds, I have gave at 15 rounds and sent them back to Sig.

Regardless of the magazine capacity, the Sig mag's tend to be very stiff for the first half dozen loadings however after use they do ease up a bit and full capacity is not hard to achieve. When I first got mine I was able to load my 17 round mag with 16. I let it sit loaded for a few days, then I went to the range and shot a few boxes of ammo through that magazine. When I got home and loaded it up again I was able to load the 17th round. This 17 round magazine is a night stand mag and since it works and functions perfectly, I leave it there for the emergency I hope never happens.

Bottom line is no matter if you are loading one of the 10 round, 12 round, 15 round, 17 round or 21 round, they ARE stiff but will and do wear-in to accept full advertised capacity.

It sounds like you have lived to long in a band state if you feel criminals only benefit from round capacity

When was the last time you had a proper shoot out with criminals and needed more ammo than a second mag would afford.

Obviously you weren't kilt in da streetz because you just posted.

Maybe you have lived too long in a high crime area.
