The trigger is clean metal and it works very well. There is no safety, though a manual safety version is expected in the near future, and no tabbed or hinged do-dad on the trigger. The first pull is long with no creep or stacking – like a revolver – and the reset is short and crisp with an audible click. After 1,250 rounds, mine pulled 6 pounds 2 ounces on a Lyman trigger gauge. Such head-to-head shooting did highlight one key difference: the one-piece metal trigger on the P365 is excellent. As you can see in the video above, we shot it side-by-side with a G26, and felt recoil wasn’t noticeably different between the two guns. The gun is snappy, as you can expect from any lightweight 9mm with a 3-inch barrel, but it is not hard to control. From three to 15-yards, everything has been minute-of-bad-guy on a silhouette target. In time it’s consumed six kinds of ammo without issue: Blazer 147-grain full metal jackets (FMJ) Federal HST 150-grain jacketed hollow points (JHP) Federal Syntech 150-grain synthetic jacket training rounds MAXXTech 115-grain FMJs SIG 115-grain FMJs and SIG V-Crown 115 gr. Like the P320 the chassis/fire control unit on the P365 is also serialized and removable.Īfter a cleaning and light oil of the slide, I went about some shooting. The ergonomics feels very much like a smaller P320 – no surprise there – and the length-of-pull between the same guns is the same. There are no sharp edges on the slide and it has rack serrations fore and aft. Even at the end of 500 round shooting sessions, there was no rubbing or blistering from the textured grip. The grip angle works well for me and the texturing is aggressive, but not over the top. The controls are simple, and low-profile. The precision fit and finish is what we’ve come to expect from SIG – from the all-metal trigger to the night sights, nothing about this gun feels cheap. It does not come with interchangeable backstraps, but even if it did I wouldn’t change a thing. I wear a size large glove, and this pistol fits my hand perfectly with the extended magazine seated. Over the course of three months and 1,250 rounds, I’ve had no real issues with the P365. This provides more streamlining (less plastic) at the top of the grip and behind the trigger, but with that double-stack capacity boost hidden down in its guts. The magazine runs double-stack for seven rounds then “necks down” to a narrower single stack for the top three bullets. (Three patents are filed for the magazine alone.) Rather than a traditional double- or single-stack, they came up with something like a stack-and-a-half. So how did they do it? SIG started with a blank page and designed from the magazine up. If those three rounds, and a decrease of a half-ounce and overall half-inch is worth $120 MSRP, the P365 is clearly your gun. The M&P has a slightly more attractive price point, and is very comparable to the SIG in the waistline, yet it brings three less rounds to the gunfight. Only the G26 packs as many rounds, but at a noticeable size increase. Yet when considering smaller equals better and more ammo equals best, the P365 takes the gold in five of the seven spec categories above. Here’s how these specs, on paper, stack up against other popular carry 9s. For a SIG, the gun runs a reasonable $599 MSRP with a real-world price around $500. That’s right: 11 rounds at the ready in a weight class that’s been contained to six or seven. This poly-framed, striker-fired pistol runs a mere 5.8-inches long, weighs less than 18 ounces, and holds 10+1 rounds of 9mm Luger +P ammunition. If anything, that’s a name we can get behind. As the name implies, SIG intends their “micro-compact” to be your one and only carry gun, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. No handgun released this year received so much attention, and spurred so much online chatter, as the new concealed carry 9mm from SIG Sauer, the P365. Is this the world’s greatest concealed carry handgun?
