Sig P365 in hand with comparisons Update with Range Time

[gnystrom]

I think the people that ordered from Brownell's have a legitimate gripe. I suspect they ordered from them for a couple of reasons.
1. Their price $499
2. Their reputation
So far I have heard nobody say they have received one from Brownells. Other dealers have been getting them in bunches of 12-18. Mine has a factory sticker date of March 13 and I was shooting it on March 16 along with the 17 other people that had a small deposit to get on a list at my LGS.

Brownells has caught a lot of flack for not being able to fill orders while so many others have and I would be reasonably sure they wish they would have never taken any pre-orders for this gun.

Great pics, worth their thousand words each. Hope you don't mind I, uh, "borrowed" your second pic, but this is what I'm talking about. Folks who haven't tried pocket or other deep concealment, someplace where printing is unforgivable, don't realize how much of a difference a few tenths of an inch here and there can make.

I also like the fact the front tab, or slide extension, or whatever it's called, below the main body of the slide that retains the recoil spring and takes a beating during recoil, is much beefier. Not that it would be a problem for 99% of users, but I've seen pics of high round count rental Glocks that have developed cracks there.

I guess I don't get the validity of the "gripe". I'm sure that Brownells would like to sell every product they have listed, including the Sig P365. If someone who put one on backorder wants to buy one locally, they can and cancel with Brownells. I'm sure the low price is what attracted the potential customers. I'm also pretty sure that the folks who ordered the P365 aren't desperate for a weapon for personal protection, so what's the rush? It just reflects the immature "instant gratification" attitudes of our current society.

I paid a total of $460 at Brownells and I a number 397 they told me. I think it's ridiculous they are taking so long to get an order in but my experience working in a large volume gun store tells me why.

They are waiting on an order of 3,000 according to reports from their employees. This makes sense to me because when you're a gun store and you order in bulk you get free guns included in your bulk order. This helps the overall profitability of the SKU and market penetration rather than peppering large volume stores with 3 at a time.

All reports suggest they are getting their order of 3000 by mid April. I will start to really complain if we get to May and I still dont have my Gun.

SIG HAS TO MAKE THEM FIRST.

Probly gonna be a while before supply ='s demand. Stores can't give what they don't have. Great pics of the slide, thanks. That was an area of concern. How is the field stripping?

You got a lot more information than I. All they told me in response to my email inquiry was that they have no idea at all.

On what date did you order to get to 397 on their list?

 

[Irn-Bru]

If Brownells had them, they'd be shipping them already. If they ordered 3000, they probably got a discount buying in bulk. Sig gave them an estimated ship date, and Brownells used this timeframe and started preorders. Bottom line is they haven't received any of the guns from Sig, hence zero have been shipped. Don't like it? Cancel your order, your not out of pocket.

Easy. Drop the mag, clear weapon, pull slide back, rotate lever clock-wise and down 90 degrees and pull slide off. No pulling the trigger.

Found a big credit card charge from Brownells made a couple hours ago. The shipment must have arrived.

My buddy got a shipping notification.

Sent from my Pixel XL

It seems amazing how the demand is so high for the 365, they are still hard to find. I am not interested in this pistol as it had too many issues but the Tavor 7 is coming out and wondering with a MSRP of $2100 will this be also hard to find online or LGS I think when the X95 first came out, I didn't have much trouble getting my hands on one because the price kept a lot of folks from pulling the trigger

 

[BE Mike]

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.

Those cry babies will really throw tantrums if a P365 that shouldn't have passed QC gets out, due to pressure to get them out the door.

My buddy got a shipping notification.

According to FedEx, mine will arrive at the FFL Tuesday of this week.

I look forward to your opinion.

I finally got to take my 365 out to the range after waiting a couple weeks. I really like it a lot. The wife lady said she thought the recoil was a little snappy but manageable, I didn't think it was any worse than her glock 42. we were only able to put about 100 rounds through it but never had a failure and it cycled 4-5 different types of rounds. The 124 gr +p HSTs were a little snappier but wasn't bad on the hands.

I was on the fence about getting a Shield to replace my DS. Now I am officially off the fence.
