Trusting my Sig P365

[Dwesson]

Mine was after the recall and came from the factory with a crap trigger. Eh, it's not horrible, but it's my least favorite trigger on all my Springfields for sure. I just always wrote it off to being a smaller gun and that's how the trigger was, but seems their fix for the recall issue was to crank down the springs and pour sand in it?

Man I was super disappointed when that gun came back from Springfield. I felt like I had to do it because it was my carry gun and I didn't want any issues. I sent the gun off before I actually saw a video/understanding the failure. The trigger was pretty decent before but you're right, 8lbs of grit with a mush break

It depends on the date when it was made, which is on the sticker on the side of the original plastic case. If you don't have the original case you can contact SIG and they should be able to tell you. It was the earlier ones that had problems. According to the guys in the SIG Talk forum those made after June 2018 have all of the fixes and improvements P365 build date questions - SIG Talk

Exactly. Teething issues if you will. I have heard that October 2018 was the turn around, which was word of mouth...worth looking into. I'm going back and forth about a G43 or the P365

I'm one of those who can't managed to get an actual 'target accuracy' group out of the Glock collection, whatever their other pristine aspects may be. 'Minute of basketball' does not satisfy my range needs. Another of the mysterious whims of the Goddess of Accuracy, some of my buddies are quite pleased with theirs.

good luck in your decision

My experience with my Sig P365 has been stellar. I have shot several kinds of ball ammo as well as 124 and 147 gr Federal HST and finally Underwood Xtreme Defender (my carry load), all without a single malfunction. The pistol is a marvel of design with its subcompact size and large magazine capacity (for a subcompact). I am grateful to have it as one of my main carry options.

Do the newer born ones that everybody is having good experiences with still have excessive primer drag?

Mine, born on date of June 2018 has primer drag, but not excessive based on what I've seen on initial release.

I'm going to my friend's place to shoot again this weekend to play with his P365, will thoroughly inspect the cases after shooting.

 

[Mister Bisley]

Been doing a bit of research myself, as I'm going back and forth between the G43 and the P365. The only thing that's stalling me from pouncing on the P365 is the known issues in the beginning.

I stumbled across this thread in Sig Talk forum and found the information to be up to date and refreshing.

P365 - Fixed!?? - SIG Talk

I put another ~125 rounds through it today at the range no other issues. That makes roughly 200 give or take since new. I had another friend shoot a couple mags and he didn't have any issues either.

Looks like I can just make fun of my other friend for limp wristing

Range time Saturday and took a pic of my casings, had some primer drag but looked much like my friends XMM .40 primer drag.

That would make me nervous.

 

[Dwesson]

I should be coming in around 800rds through mine so far. I'll try and grab some pics of my primers to see how much drag I have too

 

[Hrethgir]

I finally got to shoot my P365 for the first time. Only put 20 rounds through it, but looking at the primers, the first 10 showed some drag, but the second 10 seemed to show not nearly as much drag. I'll have to see what happens when I get to put more through it, and I'll try to get a picture up of the 2 sets of 10 that I used.

It does me too, which it's gets back seat to the G26.

Primer drag isn't nor should be accepted as "normal". It WILL cause excessive wear to the end of the striker and that's no bueno.

Nothing wrong with the G26.

 

[Mister Bisley]

It's not just the p365. A lot of subcompacts have this issue. It's quite common with short recoil operating systems in general.

What others are known for it? Serious question. I haven't seen it with my G26....

My friends XDs had similar primer drag as my P365. But his Taurus .380 & my LCP .380 both shorter than P365 & XDs had zero primer drag. YMMV

I've never experienced it. And I've carried an LCP, LCPII, Kahr Arms, Sig P938, Shield and now a G26 The Sig was hammer fired so maybe not fair to compare....

Challenge accepted, I'll bring my P365 to shoot then you'll never be able to say that again...you're welcome.

You break it, you buy it...LOL
