Sig P365
- Thread starter H Richard
- Start date
I bought one because of the high capacity, small size and the trigger. Glocks have had AD's, believe it or not, even with a trigger dingus.I finally got to handle one in a gun store yesterday. It is a remarkably small package for 10 rounds of 9mm. It fit my hand pretty well like my Kahr CW9, but at $599+taxes...
Still not sure I could carry a gun with that short a trigger and no trigger dingus.
I've never been a fan of manual safeties except on single-action pistols, but to each his own.Sig is telling us that the variant with a manual safety will arrive this fall. Which probably means next February.Regards 18DAI
The Sig does come with two magazines and night sights. Nothing against the Kahr. My EDC for years was the Kahr CM-9, until this baby came along.I finally got to handle one in a gun store yesterday.

We have had seven ND's by LEO's in our cleaning room. No fatalities but one guy now has four fingers on one hand. The dingus on the gun is worthless in the dingus in the brain fails to clear the gun before pulling the trigger to remove the slide.

That's awful but might be a good reason for your department to adopt the P365 which doesn't require a trigger pull to remove the slide.
A very interesting and sane response. Their solution, if you can believe it, was to partition off each cleaning station with bulletproof dividers. Glock must have a very strong lobby with LEO agencies. I suspect Sig is rubbing their hands and waiting quietly in the background.

We're I the boss, I'd have taken a much cheaper approach. I'd have invested a few bucks in HUGE signs for each bay...
If you discharge your weapon and survive, immediately go clean out your locker!

I'll bet that, had S&W brought such a pistol to market before anyone else, it would be saluted here as the holy grail.
Had that been the case, I'd have bought theirs (instead of buying two Sigs).
So how does the Shield differ from the P365, exactly?

They're both 9mm.
One holds 8+1, the other holds 12+1 as shown in these photos.

Nice pix, Jeppo.

I think they are different guns. Capacity aside, the Shield is quite a bit larger. The Sig can actually fit in a front pocket holster albeit tight in a pair of jeans. A Kahr PM9 is MUCH better for pocket carry in my opinion. The pictures posted really do not show just how much smaller the Sig is when compared to the Shield. Believe me, S&W would have killed to come up with this gun before Sig.
The Sig has a more rounded grip with a nice undercut at the trigger guard. My Glocks and Shield never fit my XL hands very well and for some reason the smaller rounded grip if the Sig is perfect.
The Sig has night sights from the factory.
I sold my Shield because it never fit into a "keeper" category for me.
It was too big for some tasks and too small for others plus the fact I was never very good with the Shield. I never liked the thin deep grip.
My Shield was a early on new firearm. $399. Apex sear was a must, add $50. Meprolight night sights which really helped were $80 + $20 to install. Talon grip tape another $20 but a big improvement so about $569 total.
My P365 needs nothing and I paid $515 for each of them about 4 months apart.
I am not saying it is for everybody and bend over if you buy extra mags but like I said before, it is the only gun of which I have an exact duplicate in the safe.

Well I finally shot mine and I am going to have to learn a different grip. I think I am holding the thing to tightly. Point of impact was to the left of point of aim. I called Sig customer service and the rep said he had the same problem with his. So next time out I will lighten up on the grip and see how it goes. I did adjust my aim a few degrees right and I was punching out the center of the target. It was very strange to have to aim off center to hit center......
Officially changed my EDC today from my Glock 43 to my SIG P365.
Long story short -
First 1K rounds - 7 FTExtract/1 light primer strike.
Sent to Sig.
Since receiving it back - 550+ rounds flawless - various ammo - cheap and quality.
Totally confident in this particular pistol.
When I made the switch - I'm still amazed that I emptied 2 OEM magazines (w/ Pearce +1 extensions) and I put all but two rounds in a single twelve round Sig P365 magazine.

I thought I'd mention that I was at a new little shop the day before yesterday. The owner couldn't wait to tell me that he got in a couple of Sig P 365's. They were priced at $550.I finally got to handle one in a gun store yesterday. It is a remarkably small package for 10 rounds of 9mm. It fit my hand pretty well like my Kahr CW9, but at $599+taxes...

Don't aim at anything but the center of your target. If you are right handed and hitting directly left of center, it could be your tight grip but more likely you are using too much finger on the trigger. If you are using a two hand grip, try applying more grip pressure with your support hand and use the center of the pad on your trigger finger.
Right handed, hitting directly left of center.....at least knowing the variables that can affect point of impact will give me something to work on.......I also ordered the Sig Lima 365 green laser to see if I can improve my aim with an aid.....no judging I am old with even older eyes.
