Sig P365

Some voodoo about being halfway between a double-stack and single-stack. I declare witchcraft on this and think we need to re-institute the witch trials.
How about "offset stack". Sig, if you are reading this, I'll take a free gun as compensation for the term. Thanks!
BTW, anyone in the market for a PM 9? :emoji_smile:
My 938 should feel threatened, as much as I love it.
Not a fan of the 365's looks, or the rail, but the 43 I was going to buy isn't a looker either.
The ergonomics of the 365 look awesome too, if you like the sig feel.

this is the first firearm I've had the 'I wants' for in almost 9 months.
I'll see how the Massified ones are and pick one up. The small footprint and 10+1 is a bump up in capacity from my PM9 and a step down from my G19.

A carry gun should be boringly reliable. If I have to make sure I'm using just the right lubricant, I don't want it.
I agree mostly, except that this gun's not even really out yet, and there are a lot of lubricants (eg, junk like frog lube etc) that are really unsuitable for use on any firearm. I bet once this thing is shaken down you'll be able to spray CLP, rem oil, or some other "cheap stuff that doesn't gum up when its cold" on it and given anywhere remotely regular maintenance, it'll run just fine...

This.
I don't think that one could speculate about the performance of production guns until production guns start hitting the street and people are actually able to shoot them and mess with them. It's impossible to know what condition the one gun that had problems was in, how much it had been used, or if it was representative of production examples.
If Sig's track record with brand new models is any indication is that we wont see the problems for the first 6-9 months and those problems Sig is probably already secretly aware of and getting ready to fix and update the production line.
Sig is a little bit like Apple right now, where they still have a great reputation and are they are still quite innovative but they are messing it up by pushing out products that are not quite ready for primetime. Hopefully they have learned some lessons from the P320 debacle and V1.0 of the P365 isn't a lemon. Depending on my level of self-restraint I'll be holding out for at least the V1.2
I think they are going to sell the snot out of these things, and the grip module concept has some really interesting possibilities (integration of lights/lasers etc).

Except from the article in post #2 they have have been in production for "several months". The reviewer should have been running a "production" gun if they are in production, or it should have been mentioned that he was running a beta gun and the production ones didn't have the lube fussiness.
"According to SIG, the P365 has been in production for several months and should be available very soon. Their concern is keeping up with demand for a pistol that has broken the mould for a carry pistol, combining concealability with capacity."

It has a tapered mag that reduces the grips thickness at the point where you’ll feel it most, up at the top (index finger/thumb).

Def interested...sucks that the 12 round extended mag won’t be MA legal...I’d like to shoot this back to back with my PPS m2 to compare size/accuracy/recoil and make a decision...I know my pps is heavier than this is but the 10 round capacity is huge

That was my first thought after seeing it on FB GOM last night. I'm a die-hard Glock guy, but a Sig trigger in a small package with a seemingly more comfortable grip-frame??? Too many good things to pass one up.
LOL. So you're saying you don't like the looks of most Sig pistols??? School buses. I can relate. But I have to say, old school Dana Scully carrying a 239 was hotter than the surface of the sun. Even though the bore-axis on a 239, and most other Sigs, is about 8' above the web of your hand. LOL
To be fair, are you carrying open-carry in 14 degree weather??? That's what the author was doing. Once he got proper lube AND proper temperature, the problem disappeared. Another reason to be for global warming and to keep burning tires in my backyard.
Damn. I haven't been excited about a pistol in. . . . . a decade??? Maybe? Nah. Probably at least half that, tho.
That's my problem with the Sigs, especially having shot a lot of CZs. The trigger on my 229 feels like it's attached with yarn compared to the CZs too...floppy. I will probably send it to Derr to see if a professional gunsmith can clean it up.
On the plus side, the higher bore axis definitely makes it an order of magnitude easier to rack the slide.
What I'm really saying here is that CZ should make a single stack RAMI.

I'd definitely be in for one of these 365s but I'm way too heavily invested in my Shields to change over just to pick up two extra rounds. I shoot my Shields great and they've been super reliable. Sig is too late.

I was at Four Seasons this morning and a couple of people called asking about the 365. Carl told them it's not on the approved roster yet and it will be some time before they can be sold in MA. Based on what I heard and saw, there is going to be a lot of interest in this gun.
Personally, I'd rather have a CS9 if I could find one. Or a pre rail 3913TSW, but I'm an all metal TDA kind of guy.
