Sig P365

BAC19 · Dec 2, 2018

I'm sure there's been previous discussion on this topic but was just wondering if anyone's had the same experience? I just purchased a P365 but I am having difficulty with the slide catch lever. It is extremely difficult to release. I did some reading and it sounds like shooting a few hundred rounds through it will solve the problem. So yesterday I shot 100 rounds through it and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Any experience with this, input, or advice? Greatly appreciated.

when you pull the slide to the rear and release it does it strip a round off and go into battery? if so your weapon is fine

That is why it is called a slide STOP lever and not a slide GO lever...
Slingshot it like you are supposed to.

I havent had an issue with mine, though I do NOT use my slide stop as a slide release. I have been a glock boy my entire life and had that nasty habit trained out of me (it wears the finish on the slide stop and can then cause it to "rust") use it like a slide catch not a release and you'll be fine.
