SIG P365 Massive Failure

[Mark from ?]

Do Glocks ever have trigger spring failures at high round counts?

I’ve replaced extractors and firing pins on ARs within 7500 rounds. Does that mean ARs are unreliable and should be avoided.

Your immediate stance that Glocks are god and don’t have wear item failures after several thousand rounds is woefully intellectually dishonest.

Anybody thinks that any gun can't fail is a stupid fanboy.

Don’t want to click on that video.

How does a small spring wearing out translate to “He could have died”?

He meant that if the spring didn't break during practice, it could have broken on the next shot or two if he had to use it for self-defense.

Glocks are perfect in every way, it's literally their tagline - they wouldn't lie.

This is far from the first issue I've heard of with low round count P365s. Highly inconsistent quality shouldn't be a surprise - Ron Cohen did the same crap at Kimber.

I will say I had a Gen2 G17 that I shot over 12k round through without cleaning and it ran fine. I finally cleaned it just because I felt like a dick for letting it go so long. Put like 30k rounds through that gun before i sold it and never replaced a thing.

Don't forget to clean the rust off your mags and sights!

Wait ... are plastic sights cool again?

This. I built/building back up my Glock SHTF bug out bag situation on pistols, but after that Im building up all the spare parts kits upper and lower, recoil guide rods and and springs, and actually a few spare built off brand lowers.

Already did the same with my AR stuff project. Assuming in the future if SCOTUS rolls.....none of this shit may be available. Maybe pantshitting but better safe than sorry and financially and timewise im in a good place to do it.

For every pistol/AR there is a full parts kit or more to replace everything.

Everything is on sale/available and nobody cares about gun shit right now. This is the time to buy.

Always have shit on hand and replace it prior to it breaking. That way you can use the old shit for emergency spares instead of replacing and throwing away broken shit.

My approach is to have enough of them that when one breaks I just cannibalize it for parts

One good thing out of this clickbait video is that I will add a few of these trigger bar springs to my spare parts kit. Maybe inspect my current spring every thousand rounds to check for wear.

Right now Sig is out of stock. NDZ Performance is also out of stock.

Top Gun Supply has them in stock. Sig Sauer Sear Spring, P365 - Top Gun Supply

Agree, but parts are so cheap and available for glocks its just easy to get a whole upper and lower kit for like around 100 bucks and keep it spare for each one.

Im headed to grab a G19 gen 4, barely fired LNIB excellent condition box and 3 mags, I found for $350 at BPS of all places......wasn't going to bother, but can't pass it up. Its very cherry condition. I may switch to the 19 for summer down here... give it a try anyway as I haven't had a 19 for a long time....

No they are super gay and the first thing that goes into and Glock I buy are steel night sights, second thing is the stock slide stop. I stock these parts, Tru Glo nights sights have been pretty good and i get them on Amazon when they have their deal days for below 50 bucks.

I mean this is where Glock is just fxcking gay.......change this shit out come in with a real slide stop and at least steel or night sights. Even the dumb 350 dollar shitty RXM has a decent steel night sight on the front.

Check out SIG Guy. He has things in stock others don’t. www.sigguy.com

I will hold on to the plastic sights until they come back in style.

I have about 10 sets from all the glocks Ive bought then sold up there, then bought again down here you can have.

On my pistols, I usually replace recoil springs every ~5k rounds and, assuming I can find a full spring kit, all the springs every 10k. I only have a few pistols that I have put over 10k rounds through. When ammo was cheaper and I had more time and fewer kids, I would shoot about 5-6k a year. I only had 4 firearms back then. Any time I buy a used pistol, unless it really looks like it has never been shot, I replace all the springs as I have no way of knowing how many rounds have actually been through it. SIG used to make it easy by selling a kit that had all the springs and roll pins included. I still have a few of those around as I usually ordered several at a time. If I can't find OEM, I buy Wolff service packs if possible. Probably excessive, but something I have done since taking classes at the SIG Academy in the 90s. At the time at least, the instructor recommended the 5k recoil spring replacement as cheap insurance against battering some other part of the firearm to failure. It made enough sense to me that I have just always done that.

That's why I try to buy an AR that uses "only" "standard" parts. I have a bunch of small parts/pins from Colt through Brownells.

This

redundancy on your working/shtf guns in parts, mags, etc, and as many as you feel comfortable with is good, even spare replacement frames. Which is why I chose G17 gen 3 as metric shit tons of stuff fit it. Even a few knock off tackle box guns as parts can be used from those as well.

Why I chose AR and not AK as well, because there is more out there and I can carry spare shit easier and build easier, and break apart easier.

I have other pistols but I don't have crap for spare parts as they are not my daily working guns or the guns I'd be relying on in a situation.

Yup - AR over AK - and in "standard" format. Not one with "proprietary" parts.

I've never understood how anyone could keep track of all of the rounds through a particular firearm. I went to one range that kept track so they'd know when to replace parts, but other than that...

Log books. Not hard to keep track of for rough numbers. 30-60 seconds per firearm when you get back from the range.

So he should have saved a few bucks on classes and bought some springs, got it

 

[watchman]

Lesson to be learned here. Only buy Smith and Wesson handguns their springs are so stiff you can barely pull the trigger reduces wear and use.
