Range Report: Sig Sauer P365 (Micro Subcompact 9mm)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2023
- In this Range Report I try out the Sig P365. This is a micro subcompact 9mm pistols that is built around the most size efficient magazine they could design. For being so small, it carries 10 rounds of 9mm in a flush fit magazine. Normally I do not prefer guns this size, but other reviewers have been giving it high marks. So, what do I think of it? This video documents my personal thoughts, opinions and experiences with this firearm.

Had mine that is the original since 2019 and after over 600 rounds of all kinds of ammo including FMJ/ball, hollow point, brass case, and of those 300 aluminum case its still flawless and accurate. Mine is the manual safety version. I have no complaints. The glow of the day/night tritium sights are comforting at night. It is a small gun so the smaller the gun the harder it is to shoot and as such it requires more practice to stay proficient with it. Like all small guns its drawbacks/limitations are short sight radius, more recoil (but its not that bad with this particular pistol), and the short barrel means less velocity and less muzzle energy. The shooter must understand its limitations. Its not for everyone and its particularly difficult for big handed shooters and you found that out with your particular anatomical problems. Striker or primer drag is no big deal especially with the SIG non-symmetrical or angular MIM firing pins that now eliminate drag all together. I never replaced mine and am not concerned about the drag that happens with even my sub compacts. If the firing pins are produced right and heat treated right or carburized right they won't break. SIG is right, its a non-problem that detractors are trying to make into a problem. You can nit pick the little things that have no bearing on the proper function all you want. With carburization of the parts the wear is also a non-problem. With the durability of modern parts by such treatments as carburizing and nitriding and use of MIM parts the pistol is made to last. Never had a problem with the location of the mag release or the ergonomics. Again, nit picking or anatomical problems. If you don't like the ergos there are other frames you can swap out on the Fire Control Unit. I am done with this nit picking clown show.
Liked your review so much. You were very clear about what is objective and what is subjective. The content is concise but thorough, and flows naturally. Great job!
Like a good number of us, I jumped on the smaller the better bandwagon. That is until I started training and took some classes from let’s say people with real life experience. All I can tell you is that under stress, real stress, it was almost impossible for me to get a grip and actually perform with such a small gun. So I’ve sold all my micro guns. All of them. Thank you very much for another informative video.
I bought a p365 when they first came out. It was a gun that I really wanted to like. Took a lot of practice to become accurate and proficient with it. That being said. I love the platform now. My early version had an issue with firing pins breaking after about 1,000 rounds. So much so Sig sent me a new complete slide after the second breakage which I picked the fde version. Since then I’ve stepped up to the XL and now the Marco.
Enjoyed the review , I have a P365 and its my primary EDC during the hot summer months , it came optic ready and I mounted a Holosun EPS carry, imho it’s the ideal EDC, 100% reliable and so small I can conceal it in a pocket . I’ve had zero problems. However I did make two changes that imho greatly improved the gun. I installed a gray guns grip module and flat trigger . Feels much better in the hand and the trigger got rid of the excess play in the trigger . Very pleased . I’ll probably never get rid of it. There are other imitations but there’s only one P365
I own a p365 and a p365x. In my opinion they are fantastic guns. If you have small hands like me. Still, I do wish the grip was just a tiny bit wider, to fill my palm. There are many aftermarket frames that will do that. Im thinking the Wilson Combat frame might be just what i need. The ability to change frames and size and capacity is one of its best features.
I recently switched carry guns and picked up the xl spectre comp it’s insane how such a small package can hold 17 rounds. for many years I carried g32 now it just feels like a giant block.
My main carry has been the M&P Shield since they first came out. When the P365 was announced I was very interested. Back then LE/MIL could order over the phone from the Sig store. I got my order in for a P365. It got delayed because when they got the gun, they found the night sights were dead. I finally got it and liked it. Then I started seeing reports of strikers breaking and trigger bar springs breaking. I lost trust, sold it and went back to the Shield. Today I do carry a P365 again, but an XL model. I have had zero issues and it works very well for me. It fits my smaller size hands better than the Shield. I will never get rid of my Shields though. They are proven and run so well.
I have two of them love em both. Red dot on one. Was hitting paper plate at 25 yds. All rds.
I bought mine about a week ago, and I REALLY like it! Over 300 rds in, and it is as comfortable as any gun I've shot and far more so than any of my other pocket pistols, including the Kel-Tec P11 (arguably the first high-capacity sub-compact when it first came out in the late '90s--it also has a serialized fire control module that can be changed among different grips. ADMITTEDLY, the P365 is a far more refined pistol) and PF9 (a single-stack even smaller than the P11, introduced in the '00s) as well as snubbie revolvers.
So today for Christmas I got my self a sig p365 and a ruger lcp 11 drove up to the out door range quickly shot them bot they work great but will say I’m actually shocked that the sig felt as if it had less recoil than the 380. The version I got of the sig p365;is the two tone with standard white dot sights but love it so far.
I found the Wilson Combat frame to make a huge difference. Best of luck-God bless. In addition, I installed the extra weights you can buy through Wilson Combat.
Agreed with you assessment, except tou forgot one of the main features modularity, Sig and the aftermarket can fix any fit issue tou have with the OG. Grip modules in any size.
I love the looks of the p365
I like the 365. I do every now and then carry it but the 43x tends to be the best choice in my opinion.
Good review. I own one. I agree with your assessment of the mag loading. Most difficult mags I ever loaded( arthritis). But I don’t care about esthetics. But with the trigger so sensitive, I wish it had a safety.
Cool pistol
I held the Sig P365, Taurus G3 & G2, and Hellcat at my local tool store. I walked out with the Hellcat. 👍
idk the # but 99% of self defense events do not require a mag change. one could argue that the mag release being more difficult to actuate a benefit as it will limit un-intentional mag drops
My primary CCW Weapons are an Sig P938 9mm and a Kimber Ultra CDP II .45 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips. I finally picked up the P365 CA with the Romeo X optics, not exactly my style but capacity is great. The Romeo X optics are great with the Co-Witnessing of the native optics. Still need a few more trips to the range to get use to the optics over the iron sights, but bench resting, proves to be quite accurate with bench resting. Still miss the 1911 trigger action. Not bad though.
