Sig 365 are the bugs worked out yet?

[MAUSER202]

Been interested in one of these sine they came out. Anyone have experience with current production?

I too am interested in hearing about this.

Mine was built mid October.

Around 1,000 rounds through it. Zero issues. Primer drag is similar to what I see on my G43, Kahr PM9 and gen 1 Shield.

Mine is good to go as far as I’m concerned.

This is what I have been told. I live in SIG Territory/Southern NH. The SIG Pro Shop is a couple of Miles away. Know a few former SIG Employees that work at a local Gun shop, So this is pretty informal and here say. Was thinking of getting one to replace my S&W Shield.

What have you been told??

No Specifics. Word is SIG fixed the earlier issues and that one individual I spoke to said he had a 1000 rounds through his. Nothing formal or documented. Would be nice if some respected/known trainers could verify. Sorry for the lack of specifics.

A good friend of mine has a brand new P365. I don’t know the exact date of manufacture. It was less than 300 rounds into its first outing, and it failed catastrophically.

He contacted Sig. Sig said they would fix it on his dime and blames the ammunition. Specifically, they stated it was “clearly a double charge”. I’m not sure that particular load could be double-charged. It appeared to me the round was fired out of battery. After Sig states it would be on his dime, he took a screw driver to wedge the slide open. It appears to need at minimum a new frame, new barrel, new slide, and new extractor assembly. Playing with the fun, I could hold it out of battery and the striker would fall with enough force I’m sure it would set off a primer out of battery. I’ve also noticed this is possible with the P320s I own, verifiable with the pencil test.

As much as I like the P365 on paper, it isn’t read for prime time. I would not trust my life to one.

That is a mess. Left unstated; was it indeed a reload, either commercial or private?
It is a chance we reloaders face; if something blows up, we don't have a lot of choices.
I will concur that the P365 drops out of battery pretty quickly, which leads to the firing pin swipes on primers, but none of my brass has shown any signs of distortion.
Further, the one misfire I've had (124gr Gold Dot +p) was due to the gun bouncing slightly out of battery. It was of course factory, and simply didn't go off.
A buddy's M60 Smith grenaded (took off the top strap, cylinder in 3 pieces) with a reload that was never entirely diagnosed (Bullseye was used; Smith serviced said a double wouldn't do it and a triple wouldn't fit).
Smith, to their credit, did help him with a replacement.
As an aside, Bullseye has long been credited with 'detonation', an event linked to too little powder, rather than too much. But the event has never, to my knowledge, been recreated under lab conditions.
I buy my Bullseye by the 8lb keg.

Tell your friend to not point guns at himself.
