It's so refreshing to have a "gun" channel that's not only extremely informative, but also honest. Not just doing a glowing "review" because the gun was given to him by the manufacturer, or paid to do the review.
Yep. When I first started watching Paul a year or so ago, I was shocked by how straightforward and clean his videos were. Now, all of the other firearm and ammunition review vids just seem....lacking. Between Paul Harrell and Ian at Forgotten Weapons, I now feel spoiled for quality content when it comes to one of my favorite subjects.
@@jtec99 Not really... He may receive money/ammo from them, but do I truly believe he "sold out" the gun community? I think, you're regurgitating what you have "heard" about him, but you probably don't really know anything about him.
RUclips has hoards of Sig P365 videos. This is easily the best one I’ve seen. Anybody else notice how difficult it is to watch other RUclips firearm videos now after having watched Paul Harrell in action?
Lol Anchor Bait, and how he robotically pivots his entire body around the firearm pointed safely down range to face the camera and recite the speed of each round
@@andyostertag dude right?? I always wonder why he doesn't film from the other side so he can just look over instead of spinning around... You know what I mean?
Honestly just use his "Rebuttal" video: it's just over an hour long and there's no shooting [the "Rebuttal" video was posted 8 months after you posted this comment].
"There's a zombie hoard in the background, I managed to stop about 300 of them with my Ruger 22/45 pistol, but please bear with my Shatner-Esque pauses while trying to take out the remaining few while I film this presentation".
The moment Paul began speaking about "expansion threshold" I got excited. I've seen enough of his vids to know that means " BRING OUT THE MEAT TARGETTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
@Dream Theory even sitting loaded for months on end that 12th round is a PITA to load, I went to the range last week and the first 10 wern't bad, but that 11 and 12 was a bear to load.
@@Sovek86 I read somewhere that in theory, keeping the mag loaded won't soften the spring. having tension on the spring doesn't weaken it, it's the repetitive putting tension on and taking it off that causes it to soften.
Excellent review. Paul doesn't fetishize or hype the guns like so many other channels do. I couldn't have asked for a better coverage of concerns about the P365.
@Lucius Sulla I might have to revisit the P365. I would really like to have a pocket carry option and until now I've been leaning toward a 380 like the Glock 42. If I remember correctly the P365 is almost as small as the 42, and it would save me money on ammo for training and have better terminal performance on top of it. I'm not terribly familiar with 380's benefits/weaknesses anyway.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 rewatch the end. The 365 is not the best pocket pistol because the trigger pull is so short. He said you need a holster that covers the trigger
Paul Harrell has the best firearm videos on RUclips. He is consistent, intelligent, and incredibly informative. Mr. Harrell, thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are not only fun to watch, but very educational as well. I have learned more about firearms by watching your videos than anywhere else.
@@WhoWouldWantThisName ditto here. 2 gun related channels supported. They are both experienced, very down to earth, offer what common sense God gave them and leave you with your own opinions and conclusions. Life is good!
@@andyostertag There are actually lots of RUclips channels I love. I just give money to the two (so far) that I feel will make good use of that money and really need it to do what they do. The other one I support is a Star Wars channel with three guys in the Midwest doing their best in their spare time in an apt. where one of them lives. It's the kind of thing I want to see grow or at least continue. Likewise, Paul needs to pay for the ammo, meat target materials and other props, and all the other expenses that go into making videos like these. Since this is the best, and most valuable, channel of this type IMHO I support it with actual money. There are others that are not struggling and don't need my money to keep going, there are also others that are just not doing something SO different or important that I feel would be greatly missed if they just stopped one day. so I figure I need my money too, and maybe more than they do. It's pretty rare that a channel fits both those criteria for me.
Totally agree with the final concern about the P 365 in my pocket with that short crisp trigger pull. I hesitated in buying one because I didn't want that thing pointing down at my privates or someone sitting across the table from me. Apparently, a lot of other people shared this concern also, because earlier this year, I learned that the P 365 was being offered with a "manual" safety which was the final selling point for me and I bought one which I carry it in a holster with the safety "on". This requires that I practice regularly by withdrawing the pistol, flipping off the safely, aiming, and firing. So far, zero failures after firing close to 500 rounds, and the 12 + 1 capacity is a definite plus. Love this gun and have since sold my Colt Combat Commander 1911 and carry only the P 365
one of the few gun related channels that does not have a agenda . just strait talk and honest info as he sees it. that's what i like to see. when he posts a video i stop what i am doing to see it. keep up the good work
I like he makes it more realistic, although there is a lot to be said for clear ballistic gel, to be able to track the exact trajectory. Hmmm, bits of pork ribs, oranges, and denim suspended in ballistic gel, best of both worlds, and would look like someone shot your grandmother's pot luck jello salad.
So I'm watching an old Paul Harrell video when I get a notification that Paul Harrell has uploaded a new video causing a decision tree conflict forcing me to reboot my brain.
That's not a crisis. It's a binge watching opportunity. It's like you're in the middle of your birthday and someone tells you "Hey we're gonna open our Christmas presents today too". After your head spins around a couple times you just resume, but for twice as long. As Hickok45 says "life is good".
Paul, 28 years Navy, have served with many Army and USMC folks I greatly respect, I simply enjoy your honest, no nonsense, content. Thank you you for being a great American. You have my respect and admiration. Please keep doing what you you do.
I was just coming to say the same thing. The p365 is a great little pistol, but with the 12rnd magazine, the grip is as positive as with any full sized pistol while still being ultra compact. Well worth the price of two of them.
After he asked the question at the end of the last vid., I did some research and convinced my husband to get the P365. He had the LCP II before. We love the P365. The recoil isn't any more than our full-sized 9mms and our groups were way, way better than with the LCP II. The P365 even fits in his pocket! Also, the P365 has a fairly light trigger pull for a more affordable striker-fired gun in my exp., and it also comes with night sights, which we think is a plus. I love the thing. Can't wait to get my own.
I carry the LCP in retirement for the very reasons mentioned, size & weight. I was a cop for 30 years, survived three deadly encounters and know having a gun you can carry all the time is what’s important, I believe you called it program compliance. Once again you nailed it Paul, keep up the good work.
www dot ammospy dot net will help you find the best prices, but my favorite site is still www dot targetsportsusa dot com because the prices are GREAT, and they have FREE SHIPPING!!!!!
@dig duck sadly even 25acp is twice as expensive as 9mm. I bout a little Beretta Jetfire for my girl and it's so damn overpriced to shoot I put 41 rounds through it to be fairly certain that it works and left 9 in it and that's all the action it's seen.
I just ordered several boxes of 9mm and .380 from a national online supplier. The Speer Gold Dot HP ammo in 9mm and .380 was 52 cents per round. The FMJ in 9mm was a 21 cents a round while the FMJ in .380 was 26 cents a round. For U.S. residents, it would seem that the cost of ammo for the two is about the same.
D G Trump’s campaign motto is restoring gun rights by not restoring gun rights. The guy was pro gun control until he suddenly decided to be a republican Christian one day. Who knows wtf he’ll do once he isn’t worried about reelection, and republicans will do whatever he says. For that reason, I think he is the only person that could actually get gun control legislation through both houses. I’m writing in a candidate this year, I don’t know who tf trump really is, and democrats are all talk- couldn’t get gun control legislation passed with Obama and both houses under dem control... trump worries me more than a Biden or sanders, which just feels wrong.
its so nice and cathartic to listen to the caveats i've heard a hundred times, and the explanation of the meat target, its calming and rhythmic, like a song i know by heart. And i love that i've been watching for a while, really enjoying the video, and then seeing im only just past the halfway mark. Im so grateful I found Pauls channel ^_^
If Uncle Paul left out the caveats, all of RUclips would whine, "You forgot the caveats! Tell us the caveats!!" Paul is my bedtime story. I sleep to autoplay, and wake up to "Bang... 1275. Bang... 1259. Bang..."
I miss Paul already-rest easy, brother. Watching this blast from the past made me wonder: How many packs of pork ribs and bags of oranges did he use over the years in all those meat targets? Rest in peace, Paul. Enjoy those Pop-Tarts on the other side!
I do too. Every Thanksgiving I look forward to watching the specials while I'm full. This year is going to be hard now that the RUclipsr I have spent hundreds of hours watching won't be here.
Good review Paul. My Sig P365 was made in November of 2018 and after 1,650 rounds of all different types and brands of ammo I have had zero FTF, zero issues and zero complaints. I find that with this pistol the 124 grain bullets are most accurate (for me) and shoot POA=POI. My favorite carry round is the Speer Gold Dot 124 grain HP +P Short Barrel version. Through my personal Chronograph average velocity is 1120-1125 fps (depending on temp) and performance has been quite consistent. While the +P Short Barrel version is slightly hotter, the perceived recoil is nothing objectionable, easy to shoot and since the pistol is rated for +P I see every reason to use it. Most fellow shooters that shoot the +P version out of the P365 don't even notice the difference and find it easy to handle. I find it way easier to shoot and handle when comparing it to my 5 shot S&W J Frame model 60. I did however use the Buffalo Bore +P 158 grain SWCHP-GC (#20A) in it which admittedly is no fun to shoot out of the Chief's Special! I fully understand your concern about carrying this pistol in a pocket with an UNCOVERED and exposed trigger and truly believe that ANY firearm carried in a pocket SHOULD BE in a holster that covers the trigger (just my opinion of course). I do use a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster that fully covers the trigger and guard and feel safe with that set-up. As I stated above, I might suggest trying out the Speer +P Short Barrel 124 and see how you like it. I doubt you will be disappointed! And no - I do NOT have any association what so ever with Speer - lol.
Bobby W: With the caveat about chronographs that Paul always mentions, I checked Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +P short barrel rounds out of my DW ECO with a 3 1/2" barrel and was getting 1,400 fps. It is my carry round also.
gb93669 You should probably send your chronograph in for recalibration. Speer claims 1150 FPS for the Gold Dot 124g +P Short Barrel round, and Lucky Gunner found an average 5 shot velocity of 1160 FPS out of a S&W M&P 9c with a 3 1/2” barrel. There’s no way it’s achieving a true 1400 FPS.
He shot two 1/5th sized targets from 30 feet away and says the accuracy isn't that good lol. His groups are better than any of us if we had a 1/1 size target from 10 feet!
I have 1500 rounds through my 365 and I can turn heads now at the range. I just took a tactical class and caught the eye of the instructor with my groups considering the size of the gun vs everyone's full size. I can't shoot as well as Paul in his first 100 rounds with the same gun. Sigh... I have to just accept that he is something special instead of suddenly feeling like such an amateur.
The 365 is very accurate sub 3” groups at 10-12 yards It has a slight learning curve due to the small size but once you get used to it ,its great as is all my sigs The 365 is a little pricey for a sub compact but is great for what it is lightweight and easy concealment
I bought a 365 a month ago and absolutely love this little gun. Has become my new edc and has been flawless for me with 500 rounds threw it. Great video as always Paul, hope to be able to meet you one day. Told my wife to make that happen for my birthday.
Wait until you've had it for THREE months with 1500 rounds. It just keeps getting better, man. (Except I still can't shoot as tight as Paul. Getting there but... Who am I fooling. Haha)
I LOVE my P365! I've carried just about everything and this is the clear stand out now that I have given it several months and 1500 rounds. Especially with smaller hands, is a dream. Obviously, in a Kydex IWB holster because I agree with Paul on the trigger; one of the most outstanding features of the gun. My Glocks, Rugers, and Smiths stay home now. This truly is a "365 day a year" carry gun (the reason it got it's name). Obviously, my woods guns are different... Thank you for testing the Hornady Defense ammo, Paul. It is what I carry. 10 in the gun, a 12 round mag on the weak side. I truly love this set-up. I cannot say enough good things about it and I have a G27 with a lot of money and work in to it and a ton of years and rounds through it converted to both 9 and 357 Sig and I don't see myself ever carrying it again now that I'm shooting the 365 as well as I am.
Really looking hard at the p365 and I have to say, without a shadow of a doubt, this is by FAR the best video out there, thank you for the info and the time you take to explain the details, just love this channel
I have very large hands so it took some getting used to the small size of the 365. But with practice I’m now almost as tight at 10 meters as with a 10mm legion 220. Sights are great. Terrific pistol for its size, and so easy to carry you can forget it’s there.
This gentleman is the best gun content man on the internet. Highly knowledgable and presents essential information in an easily digestible and humble way.
As a somewhat novice firearms enthusiast (5 years or so) and a new CC holder Sig 365 was my first carry pistol. With over 2k rounds, no malfunctions and a well designed polymer holster that locks the Sig in place, it is very comfortable to carry and something I become accustomed to trust. Thank you for the review!
Like many, I really like my Sig P365, but I have only owned it for about two months. Of course Mr. Harrell does an excellent job of pointing out the pros and cons of the weapon. Could not agree more with him about the excellent trigger, and his concerns with the P365 as a 'pocket gun'. I am not a fan of pocket guns, preferring a belt holster 99% of the time, and agree that a heavier double action trigger from either a revolver or semi auto is better for pocket carry. His chronograph testing is going to make me consider Sig's ammunition. Thanks Mr. Harrell. The firm P365 magazine springs prompted me to by a magazine loading tool; never thought I needed/wanted one before.
This video was GREAT! A lot of people are carrying the P365 now ,including me , and this was an information packed, no BS piece of work !!! Thanks Mr. Harrell.
Paul, I've had the P365 for about 6 months now and just love it. Its my main carry now. You validated all the things I've experienced with this firearm. I appreciate the ammo comparisons. I will be changing my carry ammo as a result, so many thanks there. Keep em coming, you are by far the best reviewer out there!
Paul, wanted to come on here and say thank you. Your videos on handgun accuracy, trigger control and sights really improved my capabilities. Your best exercise in my opinion was where you blindly loaded the snap caps and tested your flinching for trigger control. Using snap caps a few nights a week in my room training my trigger pull (no live rounds obviously) greatly improved my stability and accuracy. Recently purchased a 92fs M9A1 and I'm in love with that gun. I completely understand why it is your favorite. Thank you again!
Hands down the most informative P365 review on the internet. Bravo! Great job showing the significant difference in HP ammo expansion. Also I never gave the sig elite ammo much of a look, but I guess they did a good job on the stuff for short barrel pistols.
After carrying a Bodyguard .380 for four years, I’ve been considering the Sig 365. Damn, Paul, you just cost me $500! Seriously, thanks for all the quality videos you do. And if Oregon really does pass that stupid gun law they’re considering, know we can always use a good oral hygienist here in Stuart, FL. Plenty of ranges around, too.
Paul you finally hit the safety nail on the head about the 365. As a certified armorer for both platforms, I can say the 365 is a single action striker fire where the Glock Gx is a double action striker fire. The striker of the Sig 365 is under full tension and a pull of the trigger simply tilts the sear and lets the striker go. When you pull the trigger of any Glock, the trigger bar pushes the striker bar back gaining tension and at the end of the pull the sear falls out of the way, letting the striker go. Great video sir. The Sig 365 is a great gun, just not a safe gun.
I swear by it now. Buy it! I don't know anyone who regrets it if it has a birthday later than about June 2018. Sig seemed to iron out the wrinkles. If your hands are anything but massive, you'll love it. If they're medium to small, you won't want to shoot anything else.
I have pretty large hands and the 12 rd mag helped immensely to grip this little pistol. I highly recommend investing in a couple 12 rd mags. They are expensive but well worth it.
As far as concealability, i bought a sticky holster for pocket carry. The first day i pocket carried, i literally for the 365 was in my pocket until i reached in, thinking my keys were in that pocket. I have almost 1000 rds through my 365 and 0 malfunctions.
Great video Paul. I have had the Sig P365 for 6 months now with over 1000 rounds thru it. Not a single issue with function. Very reliable and easy to conceal with 13 rounds of 9mm.
I'm encouraged by the performance of the critical defense in the 3 inch barrel That is what I use in my sig 938 and I have seen ballistic gel tests that were very promising and these tests seem to back those up
Paul Harrell is like a professor of firearms. His videos are often dry and slow, but the work is top notch, and the results are honest and the quality of the conclusions is impossible to beat.
Thank you for this review. I switched to this Sig as my EDC last year and have loved it's performance at the range. Happy to see a no frills velocity and ballistics look at it's performance in this manner.
I am learning a lot from your videos. In fact, I think your videos are the most useful for learning about guns and ammo. Thank you for your persistent testing.
I appreciate how you tested this pistol. You chose a different approach than all other reviews and added important data and information. Thanks for your work and extra effort.
Paul is always good company. Great delivery. Conveys meanings, not just information. Fascinating to see different contexts of ammo, shooting and carry. No fadism here. Just typical Paul facts, just the facts analysis. Thanks for posting, Really considering the 365.
Thanks Paul,👍 for another great video lesson! Yes, I agree with your summation of the SIG SAUER P365. It is an excellent Firearm! SIG SAUER has said they are going to produce the P365 with a manual Safety this year. I "will Purchase this great P365" when they produce the "Manual Safety" on this excellent Firearm!👍😉👏 This pistol is a leader in the New CCW options available now!! They seem to have worked out the imperfections. The 12 round EXTENSION is the icing on the cake for this superior pistol for it's size!🤠👏
@@SurvivalReviews He's not trying to milk anything. He comments on other channels to support them - comments help THEIR channels with the RUclips algorithm. Maybe you should relax a little, not take things so personally, and be a bit more reluctant to assume the worst about others.
Def some fast burning powder do hit those velocities out of a 3”. I carry Speer 124 +p out of a 3.25” barrel and I’m getting about 1140 FPS the one time I tested them. The v crown and standard pressure and beat that out of A shorter barrel. Impressive.
I bought it in 9mm and 10mm because my LGS had it in stock, but I have seen several positive reviews since then. Also, the less expensive FMJ practice ammo from Sig feels the same as the v-crown
I know this video is about 8 months old, but I just bought a Sig P365. The one I purchased does have a manual thumb safety. I previously carried a S&W M&P Bodyguard .380 as my EDC for the past 18 months or so. I have always pocket carried for better concealment due to having to wear a dress shirt and dealing with the public a lot. I now pocket carry the P365 (with thumb safety engaged) in a Sticky brand holster with nothing else in the pocket. I think Sig realized they danger of pocket carrying without a manual safety and decided to add it for those who pocket carry. I’m glad I waited instead of picking one up without a thumb safety. This video initially helped me decide against the P365 (when no thumb safety was available), but now glad they came out with one with a thumb safety, so I can now pocket carry it.
He made this video literally 2 days after I bought my sig p365. Damn left this comment 5 years ago. We had no idea we were going to lose paul or any of the other crazy stuff that's happened. Feel a bit nostalgic for 5 years ago.
Damn, Paul is the ultimate trooper! Neither rain, nor sleet, nor flooded range will stop this man from accomplishing his mission. One of the many reasons I love this channel! 👍
Thanks as always for another informative video Paul. I recently switched from a 43 to a 43X and considered a 365, but just couldn't "love it" in my hand enough to make the switch. Regardless of gun though, this data on "sub-compacts" is invaluable as it applies across all of them. Moving between the 92F > M&P > 365 was gold. Thank you for covering all sides of this as you usually do.
With the right ammo the P365 is about as perfect a concealed carry there is. I understand there were issues with the first generation but from what I have heard Sig has made corrections.
my son just bought one, it is a fantastic firearm, the trigger and sights are outstanding, if your looking for a gun to shoot a box a year and keep in your bedside drawer this is not it. if you want an edc that you will practice with often, I can highly recommend it.
It’s unfair to measure ‘Critical Duty’ velocity in a short/compact barrel because Duty is designed for barrels over 4”. It’s Critical Defence ammo that’s designed for short barrelled pistols when choosing brand Hornady, and this would give better results. That’s why the velocity increased with Critical Defense ammo when used in the 365 compared to “Duty” despite the lesser grain difference. Just saying. I absolutely love PH and his amazing videos. I learn the most from him by far versus others on RUclips and this video as usually is outstanding.
I checked gun broker, and the ones with bids were under $1,000. They don't seem like a good collector value investment to me because so many Glocks and Glock clones are made in the US. If you look at the guns that have insane values amongst collectors, they're things where the supply is incredibly limited. Russian and Chinese guns, pre-ban automatics, things that have been out of production for a while. Gen 1 things usually only have extra value if the thing is already a collectors item. What having a first gen Glock says to me is that Paul probably bought it when the gen 2 was released which would have driven the price down on the first generation as stores needed to move then to make room for new inventory, didn't like it that much, and put it in a safe for if it ever became germane in making a point. I could be wrong, but I've gotten some great deals on musical equipment and cars that way, and I'm holding off on buying the AR that I want because the next generation of it should be coming out soon, so this current generation ought to go on massive sale. I may cyber Monday it, though (I don't have a PhD/MD, so I'm not allowed to have patience).
You're correct, I always carry my P365 or my P238 with a pocket holster for safety and concealibility. One thing that sealed my decision to purchase the P365 was the availability of 9mm ammo. As a person that travels frequently, I find 9mm ammo is easy to find wherever I go but .380 is sometimes harder to find if at all. Great video, thanks.
Throughout this entire video I’m thinking “please don’t let Paul Harrell say the gun I just bought sucks.”
keep it out of your pocket and its outstanding
me too!
@@huckwild6464 good thing im not planning planning to pocket carry it, and even if i were, it would be in some form of holster that covers the trigger

He gives you the most profound life advice while he bow fishes from a kayak.
He gives you the whole can and lets you be the judge.
Then drops you back at your parents house completely buzzed and just tells your parents “Looks Ok to Me!”

Excellent review. Paul doesn't fetishize or hype the guns like so many other channels do. I couldn't have asked for a better coverage of concerns about the P365.
...or any other weapon.
@Dream Theory The XL looks like a sweet piece. I passed over the original 365 because it was too small in my hand.
Stop the Philosophical Zombies I honestly believe they are nothing marketing agents for some the gun manufacturers
@Lucius Sulla I might have to revisit the P365. I would really like to have a pocket carry option and until now I've been leaning toward a 380 like the Glock 42. If I remember correctly the P365 is almost as small as the 42, and it would save me money on ammo for training and have better terminal performance on top of it. I'm not terribly familiar with 380's benefits/weaknesses anyway.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 rewatch the end. The 365 is not the best pocket pistol because the trigger pull is so short. He said you need a holster that covers the trigger
Had to delay the wedding a half hour... the preacher understood when I told him Paul Harrell was on.
Had to fight your wife for a spot to watch I hope.
But did the bride understand
I was the preacher for the wedding and I can say it was very understandable
Paul Harrell has the best firearm videos on RUclips. He is consistent, intelligent, and incredibly informative. Mr. Harrell, thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are not only fun to watch, but very educational as well. I have learned more about firearms by watching your videos than anywhere else.
well said, i agree.
Spread the word!
My program compliance watching Paul Harrel videos is 100%.
so I have that going on
Which is nice...
Your life is complete
Same here. Don't know how life was worth living before I found Paul.
Thank you patrons for doing all the heavy lifting for us to help Paul produce the art we all love!🔥👏🔥
I only support two channels via Patreon and this is one of them. FYI, the other one isn't even gun related.
@@WhoWouldWantThisName ditto here. 2 gun related channels supported. They are both experienced, very down to earth, offer what common sense God gave them and leave you with your own opinions and conclusions. Life is good!
@@andyostertag There are actually lots of RUclips channels I love. I just give money to the two (so far) that I feel will make good use of that money and really need it to do what they do. The other one I support is a Star Wars channel with three guys in the Midwest doing their best in their spare time in an apt. where one of them lives. It's the kind of thing I want to see grow or at least continue. Likewise, Paul needs to pay for the ammo, meat target materials and other props, and all the other expenses that go into making videos like these. Since this is the best, and most valuable, channel of this type IMHO I support it with actual money. There are others that are not struggling and don't need my money to keep going, there are also others that are just not doing something SO different or important that I feel would be greatly missed if they just stopped one day. so I figure I need my money too, and maybe more than they do. It's pretty rare that a channel fits both those criteria for me.
@@andyostertag "life is good" huh.. wonder who's the other channel. 😁
This channel gives the most practical information that can be very useful when deciding what to buy and carry than any other channel on youtube
You be the judge !
Paul Harrell doesn’t miss, the target flinches...
This is awesome do you mind if I use it? Lol
He misses on purpose to makes us all feel better when we miss.
Totally agree with the final concern about the P 365 in my pocket with that short crisp trigger pull. I hesitated in buying one because I didn't want that thing pointing down at my privates or someone sitting across the table from me. Apparently, a lot of other people shared this concern also, because earlier this year, I learned that the P 365 was being offered with a "manual" safety which was the final selling point for me and I bought one which I carry it in a holster with the safety "on". This requires that I practice regularly by withdrawing the pistol, flipping off the safely, aiming, and firing. So far, zero failures after firing close to 500 rounds, and the 12 + 1 capacity is a definite plus. Love this gun and have since sold my Colt Combat Commander 1911 and carry only the P 365
one of the few gun related channels that does not have a agenda . just strait talk and honest info as he sees it. that's what i like to see. when he posts a video i stop what i am doing to see it. keep up the good work
Agenda? Like not voting democrat and protecting the 2nd amendment for future generations?
@@mblake0420 Yup, none of that bullshit just guns. Gun control doesn't pass without Republicans signing on, or more often just staying silent.
Unlike some channels who secretly take money from a sponsor then say claim it was a totally unbiased and it was the greatest gun ever.
@@mblake0420 I don’t understand your argumentative comment replying to someone who obviously doesn’t think those things.
Meat Target > Gel block.... You be the judge!👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don’t forget the New & Improved Fleece Backstop, it matters.
Agree completely, it would be harder to find the ammo though.
@1/7th -Cav. 1972C.I.B Yes, Paul says the new and improved includes a bungie cord.
I like he makes it more realistic, although there is a lot to be said for clear ballistic gel, to be able to track the exact trajectory.
Hmmm, bits of pork ribs, oranges, and denim suspended in ballistic gel, best of both worlds, and would look like someone shot your grandmother's pot luck jello salad.
Perry Parsons Someone needs to do a pork rib gel block lung meat target for sure.
I'm not even that into guns, you're just very entertaining and informative to watch, thanks for the vids Paul and Team you guys are awesome!

Hands down the best Sig 365 review I have seen, and I've watched many.
I already own a P365 and like it. I'm just here to spend a few minutes with Paul. RIP sir.
So I'm watching an old Paul Harrell video when I get a notification that Paul Harrell has uploaded a new video causing a decision tree conflict forcing me to reboot my brain.
You divided by 0....I hope you didn't loose any data..... Or end up in a boot loop.
That's not a crisis. It's a binge watching opportunity. It's like you're in the middle of your birthday and someone tells you "Hey we're gonna open our Christmas presents today too". After your head spins around a couple times you just resume, but for twice as long. As Hickok45 says "life is good".
Shush! I'm trying to detect one of Paul Harrell's Shatner-esque pauses.
At first I didn't even notice, but now I hear it all the time. I like to think of it as part of the character of the channel.
I thought the same. Its gotta be when he stops speaking facts, in order to breathe.
Paul, 28 years Navy, have served with many Army and USMC folks I greatly respect, I simply enjoy your honest, no nonsense, content. Thank you you for being a great American. You have my respect and admiration. Please keep doing what you you do.
The extended 12rd mag really is a game changer. It handles more like a compact than a subcompact with 12+1 capacity and a full hand grip
I was just coming to say the same thing. The p365 is a great little pistol, but with the 12rnd magazine, the grip is as positive as with any full sized pistol while still being ultra compact. Well worth the price of two of them.
Add a hogue grip and it's even better!
Or take a P365 XL grip module and put the slide/barrel from a P365 on it with the 12 round mag....
Agree
After he asked the question at the end of the last vid., I did some research and convinced my husband to get the P365. He had the LCP II before. We love the P365. The recoil isn't any more than our full-sized 9mms and our groups were way, way better than with the LCP II. The P365 even fits in his pocket! Also, the P365 has a fairly light trigger pull for a more affordable striker-fired gun in my exp., and it also comes with night sights, which we think is a plus. I love the thing. Can't wait to get my own.
Paul is one of those guys that has a knack for getting to the heart of a matter with minimal fluff. A great teacher.
I carry the LCP in retirement for the very reasons mentioned, size & weight. I was a cop for 30 years, survived three deadly encounters and know having a gun you can carry all the time is what’s important, I believe you called it program compliance. Once again you nailed it Paul, keep up the good work.
The cost of .380 is what made me stick with 9mm.
www dot ammospy dot net will help you find the best prices, but my favorite site is still www dot targetsportsusa dot com because the prices are GREAT, and they have FREE SHIPPING!!!!!
Very true
@dig duck sadly even 25acp is twice as expensive as 9mm. I bout a little Beretta Jetfire for my girl and it's so damn overpriced to shoot I put 41 rounds through it to be fairly certain that it works and left 9 in it and that's all the action it's seen.
I just ordered several boxes of 9mm and .380 from a national online supplier. The Speer Gold Dot HP ammo in 9mm and .380 was 52 cents per round. The FMJ in 9mm was a 21 cents a round while the FMJ in .380 was 26 cents a round. For U.S. residents, it would seem that the cost of ammo for the two is about the same.
It's as much as .45... its annoying as hell
Seriously man, you're everything that's right with RUclips gun channels. Please don't stop.
I have been looking at a sig 365 but wanted to wait to see what Paul thought of the gun. Well gun shop here I come
Paul, I really appreciate the work you do. Thank you!
Paul For President 2020..... campaign motto... "You Be the Judge"

D G Trump’s campaign motto is restoring gun rights by not restoring gun rights. The guy was pro gun control until he suddenly decided to be a republican Christian one day. Who knows wtf he’ll do once he isn’t worried about reelection, and republicans will do whatever he says. For that reason, I think he is the only person that could actually get gun control legislation through both houses. I’m writing in a candidate this year, I don’t know who tf trump really is, and democrats are all talk- couldn’t get gun control legislation passed with Obama and both houses under dem control... trump worries me more than a Biden or sanders, which just feels wrong.
its so nice and cathartic to listen to the caveats i've heard a hundred times, and the explanation of the meat target, its calming and rhythmic, like a song i know by heart. And i love that i've been watching for a while, really enjoying the video, and then seeing im only just past the halfway mark. Im so grateful I found Pauls channel ^_^
If Uncle Paul left out the caveats, all of RUclips would whine, "You forgot the caveats! Tell us the caveats!!" Paul is my bedtime story. I sleep to autoplay, and wake up to "Bang... 1275. Bang... 1259. Bang..."
Paul Harrell talked for a half an hour and not a word was wasted.
Nor a single bullet or a single second of any sane persons time ,
As it should be, Paul and Mike Glover are the only firearms channels who's advice I truly listen to.
I have never not gained some wisdom from this channel. Every talking point, and aspect he views things from is relevant.
I miss Paul already-rest easy, brother.
Watching this blast from the past made me wonder: How many packs of pork ribs and bags of oranges did he use over the years in all those meat targets?
Rest in peace, Paul. Enjoy those Pop-Tarts on the other side!
I do too. Every Thanksgiving I look forward to watching the specials while I'm full. This year is going to be hard now that the RUclipsr I have spent hundreds of hours watching won't be here.
it always astonishes me, and I've been shooting for 48 years, that I learn something every time I watch this guy speak about guns. Thank you!
Mike Dillon Fuck u
Good review Paul. My Sig P365 was made in November of 2018 and after 1,650 rounds of all different types and brands of ammo I have had zero FTF, zero issues and zero complaints. I find that with this pistol the 124 grain bullets are most accurate (for me) and shoot POA=POI. My favorite carry round is the Speer Gold Dot 124 grain HP +P Short Barrel version. Through my personal Chronograph average velocity is 1120-1125 fps (depending on temp) and performance has been quite consistent. While the +P Short Barrel version is slightly hotter, the perceived recoil is nothing objectionable, easy to shoot and since the pistol is rated for +P I see every reason to use it. Most fellow shooters that shoot the +P version out of the P365 don't even notice the difference and find it easy to handle. I find it way easier to shoot and handle when comparing it to my 5 shot S&W J Frame model 60. I did however use the Buffalo Bore +P 158 grain SWCHP-GC (#20A) in it which admittedly is no fun to shoot out of the Chief's Special! I fully understand your concern about carrying this pistol in a pocket with an UNCOVERED and exposed trigger and truly believe that ANY firearm carried in a pocket SHOULD BE in a holster that covers the trigger (just my opinion of course). I do use a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster that fully covers the trigger and guard and feel safe with that set-up. As I stated above, I might suggest trying out the Speer +P Short Barrel 124 and see how you like it. I doubt you will be disappointed! And no - I do NOT have any association what so ever with Speer - lol.
Bobby W: With the caveat about chronographs that Paul always mentions, I checked Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +P short barrel rounds out of my DW ECO with a 3 1/2" barrel and was getting 1,400 fps. It is my carry round also.
gb93669 You should probably send your chronograph in for recalibration. Speer claims 1150 FPS for the Gold Dot 124g +P Short Barrel round, and Lucky Gunner found an average 5 shot velocity of 1160 FPS out of a S&W M&P 9c with a 3 1/2” barrel. There’s no way it’s achieving a true 1400 FPS.
Bobby W: ..does that ammo come in a green and white box?
@@RickinICT funny.
He shot two 1/5th sized targets from 30 feet away and says the accuracy isn't that good lol. His groups are better than any of us if we had a 1/1 size target from 10 feet!
Gun Sam: Yes, I was thinking the same thing: Paul's "not so great" results are better than my best.
agreed
Lol. True.
I have 1500 rounds through my 365 and I can turn heads now at the range. I just took a tactical class and caught the eye of the instructor with my groups considering the size of the gun vs everyone's full size.
I can't shoot as well as Paul in his first 100 rounds with the same gun. Sigh... I have to just accept that he is something special instead of suddenly feeling like such an amateur.
The 365 is very accurate sub 3” groups at 10-12 yards It has a slight learning curve due to the small size but once you get used to it ,its great as is all my sigs The 365 is a little pricey for a sub compact but is great for what it is lightweight and easy concealment
An informative video shot in a spring swamp with not a single comment about the conditions. Yup, that's Paul. Respect.
Thanks for the years of great content, Paul. Here's to many more!
Not many more, sadly. 😢
I think this might be the single most informative pistol review I've ever seen.
I bought a 365 a month ago and absolutely love this little gun. Has become my new edc and has been flawless for me with 500 rounds threw it. Great video as always Paul, hope to be able to meet you one day. Told my wife to make that happen for my birthday.
Wait until you've had it for THREE months with 1500 rounds. It just keeps getting better, man. (Except I still can't shoot as tight as Paul. Getting there but... Who am I fooling. Haha)
I LOVE my P365! I've carried just about everything and this is the clear stand out now that I have given it several months and 1500 rounds. Especially with smaller hands, is a dream. Obviously, in a Kydex IWB holster because I agree with Paul on the trigger; one of the most outstanding features of the gun. My Glocks, Rugers, and Smiths stay home now. This truly is a "365 day a year" carry gun (the reason it got it's name). Obviously, my woods guns are different...
Thank you for testing the Hornady Defense ammo, Paul. It is what I carry. 10 in the gun, a 12 round mag on the weak side. I truly love this set-up. I cannot say enough good things about it and I have a G27 with a lot of money and work in to it and a ton of years and rounds through it converted to both 9 and 357 Sig and I don't see myself ever carrying it again now that I'm shooting the 365 as well as I am.
Really looking hard at the p365 and I have to say, without a shadow of a doubt, this is by FAR the best video out there, thank you for the info and the time you take to explain the details, just love this channel
I have very large hands so it took some getting used to the small size of the 365. But with practice I’m now almost as tight at 10 meters as with a 10mm legion 220. Sights are great. Terrific pistol for its size, and so easy to carry you can forget it’s there.
This gentleman is the best gun content man on the internet. Highly knowledgable and presents essential information in an easily digestible and humble way.
As a somewhat novice firearms enthusiast (5 years or so) and a new CC holder Sig 365 was my first carry pistol. With over 2k rounds, no malfunctions and a well designed polymer holster that locks the Sig in place, it is very comfortable to carry and something I become accustomed to trust. Thank you for the review!
Like many, I really like my Sig P365, but I have only owned it for about two months. Of course Mr. Harrell does an excellent job of pointing out the pros and cons of the weapon.
Could not agree more with him about the excellent trigger, and his concerns with the P365 as a 'pocket gun'. I am not a fan of pocket guns, preferring a belt holster 99% of the time, and agree that a heavier double action trigger from either a revolver or semi auto is better for pocket carry. His chronograph testing is going to make me consider Sig's ammunition. Thanks Mr. Harrell.
The firm P365 magazine springs prompted me to by a magazine loading tool; never thought I needed/wanted one before.
This video was GREAT! A lot of people are carrying the P365 now ,including me , and this was an information packed, no BS piece of work !!! Thanks Mr. Harrell.
Paul, I've had the P365 for about 6 months now and just love it. Its my main carry now. You validated all the things I've experienced with this firearm. I appreciate the ammo comparisons. I will be changing my carry ammo as a result, so many thanks there. Keep em coming, you are by far the best reviewer out there!
You just sold me a 365. A gun I have been on the fence about for a long time. Nobody does videos like you Paul! Thank you.
Just bought the 365 a few hours ago, just got my ccw and first handgun! Glad you made the video
Congrats!
I have always been impressed with the Sig Sauer Elite performance ammunition. It's good stuff. Great, thorough review, Paul!
Paul, wanted to come on here and say thank you. Your videos on handgun accuracy, trigger control and sights really improved my capabilities. Your best exercise in my opinion was where you blindly loaded the snap caps and tested your flinching for trigger control. Using snap caps a few nights a week in my room training my trigger pull (no live rounds obviously) greatly improved my stability and accuracy. Recently purchased a 92fs M9A1 and I'm in love with that gun. I completely understand why it is your favorite. Thank you again!
Hands down the most informative P365 review on the internet. Bravo! Great job showing the significant difference in HP ammo expansion. Also I never gave the sig elite ammo much of a look, but I guess they did a good job on the stuff for short barrel pistols.
After carrying a Bodyguard .380 for four years, I’ve been considering the Sig 365. Damn, Paul, you just cost me $500! Seriously, thanks for all the quality videos you do. And if Oregon really does pass that stupid gun law they’re considering, know we can always use a good oral hygienist here in Stuart, FL. Plenty of ranges around, too.
3 years later and they are still trying to override the Constitution.
Paul you finally hit the safety nail on the head about the 365. As a certified armorer for both platforms, I can say the 365 is a single action striker fire where the Glock Gx is a double action striker fire. The striker of the Sig 365 is under full tension and a pull of the trigger simply tilts the sear and lets the striker go. When you pull the trigger of any Glock, the trigger bar pushes the striker bar back gaining tension and at the end of the pull the sear falls out of the way, letting the striker go. Great video sir. The Sig 365 is a great gun, just not a safe gun.
This is a carry gun I am very curious about! Glad to see you (specifically) doing a video on it!
I swear by it now. Buy it! I don't know anyone who regrets it if it has a birthday later than about June 2018. Sig seemed to iron out the wrinkles. If your hands are anything but massive, you'll love it. If they're medium to small, you won't want to shoot anything else.
@@bradbowhunts Yep !
I have pretty large hands and the 12 rd mag helped immensely to grip this little pistol. I highly recommend investing in a couple 12 rd mags. They are expensive but well worth it.
As far as concealability, i bought a sticky holster for pocket carry. The first day i pocket carried, i literally for the 365 was in my pocket until i reached in, thinking my keys were in that pocket. I have almost 1000 rds through my 365 and 0 malfunctions.
Great video Paul. I have had the Sig P365 for 6 months now with over 1000 rounds thru it. Not a single issue with function. Very reliable and easy to conceal with 13 rounds of 9mm.
I'm encouraged by the performance of the critical defense in the 3 inch barrel
That is what I use in my sig 938 and I have seen ballistic gel tests that were very promising and these tests seem to back those up
The amount of physical and mental effort Paul puts in to these highly educational videos is stunning. Well done sir.
Paul Harrell is like a professor of firearms. His videos are often dry and slow, but the work is top notch, and the results are honest and the quality of the conclusions is impossible to beat.
I have 1,800 rds through my p365 with ZERO malfunctions, and I trust it every day.
Same here! Love it!
Didint these things have a ton of problems? I could be wrong not too sure
FellowRser only one potential problem with a bad batch of strikers in March of 2018. Since then, no reported issues at all.
@@Fellowrser you're probably thinking of the p938
Same here, I'm up to 800-900 and ran it through an 8 hour class
Paul's ability to spout off bullet manufacturer's specifications is really amazing. Never gets it wrong or even studders.
Thank you for this review. I switched to this Sig as my EDC last year and have loved it's performance at the range. Happy to see a no frills velocity and ballistics look at it's performance in this manner.
I am learning a lot from your videos. In fact, I think your videos are the most useful for learning about guns and ammo. Thank you for your persistent testing.
I appreciate how you tested this pistol. You chose a different approach than all other reviews and added important data and information. Thanks for your work and extra effort.
Paul is always good company. Great delivery. Conveys meanings, not just information. Fascinating to see different contexts of ammo, shooting and carry. No fadism here. Just typical Paul facts, just the facts analysis. Thanks for posting, Really considering the 365.
Thanks Paul,👍 for another great video lesson! Yes, I agree with your summation of the SIG SAUER P365. It is an excellent Firearm! SIG SAUER has said they are going to produce the P365 with a manual Safety this year. I "will Purchase this great P365" when they produce the "Manual Safety" on this excellent Firearm!👍😉👏 This pistol is a leader in the New CCW options available now!! They seem to have worked out the imperfections. The 12 round EXTENSION is the icing on the cake for this superior pistol for it's size!🤠👏
Been waiting for this video since the P365 came out!
The most thorough assessments on RUclips. Of any kind or genre.
This was just the video I needed to see. I was trying to decide between the p365 and the bersa thunder for an EDC. 365 here I come!
fair points for sure
He is a good teacher.
Father Paul offers wise words.
Your wit, wisdom, vocabulary, and persistence with attempting to milk from other channels is noteworthy. Noteworthy and pitiful.
@@SurvivalReviews He's not trying to milk anything. He comments on other channels to support them - comments help THEIR channels with the RUclips algorithm. Maybe you should relax a little, not take things so personally, and be a bit more reluctant to assume the worst about others.
Oh thank GOD that Paul just put up a video. I was starving for intelligent presentation.
That SIG V-Crown load did surprisingly well. I may need to try that out in my Kahr CM9.
Def some fast burning powder do hit those velocities out of a 3”. I carry Speer 124 +p out of a 3.25” barrel and I’m getting about 1140 FPS the one time I tested them. The v crown and standard pressure and beat that out of A shorter barrel. Impressive.
I bought it in 9mm and 10mm because my LGS had it in stock, but I have seen several positive reviews since then. Also, the less expensive FMJ practice ammo from Sig feels the same as the v-crown
I know this video is about 8 months old, but I just bought a Sig P365. The one I purchased does have a manual thumb safety. I previously carried a S&W M&P Bodyguard .380 as my EDC for the past 18 months or so. I have always pocket carried for better concealment due to having to wear a dress shirt and dealing with the public a lot. I now pocket carry the P365 (with thumb safety engaged) in a Sticky brand holster with nothing else in the pocket. I think Sig realized they danger of pocket carrying without a manual safety and decided to add it for those who pocket carry. I’m glad I waited instead of picking one up without a thumb safety. This video initially helped me decide against the P365 (when no thumb safety was available), but now glad they came out with one with a thumb safety, so I can now pocket carry it.
Thank you- for working in the water for us. I also think that’s the best and most relevant investigative review of the P365 yet.
He made this video literally 2 days after I bought my sig p365.
Damn left this comment 5 years ago. We had no idea we were going to lose paul or any of the other crazy stuff that's happened. Feel a bit nostalgic for 5 years ago.
Outstanding as always thx
clearly another win for Remington Green & White box ammo :)
I agree, he has always said good things about it. Seems even better in many ways to the premium defense ammo out there
A nice long comprehensive and informative video with all the bells, whistles, trimmings and sides. Delicious
Damn, Paul is the ultimate trooper! Neither rain, nor sleet, nor flooded range will stop this man from accomplishing his mission. One of the many reasons I love this channel! 👍
I really feel the best form factor for the 365 is the xl model. It alleviates the grip issues and the extra .6” barrel helps the velocity
I'm always impressed he can read the chronograph readout from that far away.
Milkman4279 the camera makes it look further
I’ve got one, carry it every day, well over 600 rounds through it varying from steel case crap to high end stuff with zero malfunctions. Great gun
Thanks as always for another informative video Paul. I recently switched from a 43 to a 43X and considered a 365, but just couldn't "love it" in my hand enough to make the switch. Regardless of gun though, this data on "sub-compacts" is invaluable as it applies across all of them.
Moving between the 92F > M&P > 365 was gold. Thank you for covering all sides of this as you usually do.
I would never carry any gun without a holster, and I love my sig 365. Thank you for taking the time to share all this information
What an outstanding video! Thank you so much for the thoughtful analysis you always put into your presentations, Paul.
With the right ammo the P365 is about as perfect a concealed carry there is. I understand there were issues with the first generation but from what I have heard Sig has made corrections.
@Dream Theory I'm sure Gina is much better cleaned and lubed
my son just bought one, it is a fantastic firearm, the trigger and sights are outstanding, if your looking for a gun to shoot a box a year and keep in your bedside drawer this is not it. if you want an edc that you will practice with often, I can highly recommend it.
Hands down the best reviewer on RUclips, and the only one I financially support.
4 years later this is still the best sig 365 video out there
Id like to see the 365 xl ean through pauls ring... if and when we ever get ammo again.
It’s unfair to measure ‘Critical Duty’ velocity in a short/compact barrel because Duty is designed for barrels over 4”. It’s Critical Defence ammo that’s designed for short barrelled pistols when choosing brand Hornady, and this would give better results. That’s why the velocity increased with Critical Defense ammo when used in the 365 compared to “Duty” despite the lesser grain difference. Just saying. I absolutely love PH and his amazing videos. I learn the most from him by far versus others on RUclips and this video as usually is outstanding.
When you have a short-barreled pistol you need lighter bullets and faster-burning powders. 147gr and/or +P is not optimal.
LMAO love how he flexes on us by mentioning its a first gen Glock....i love it
Haha weird flex but agreed
how much are they worth?
@@mikef3808 theyre not worth the garbage bag you should buy to throw it away in.
I checked gun broker, and the ones with bids were under $1,000. They don't seem like a good collector value investment to me because so many Glocks and Glock clones are made in the US. If you look at the guns that have insane values amongst collectors, they're things where the supply is incredibly limited. Russian and Chinese guns, pre-ban automatics, things that have been out of production for a while. Gen 1 things usually only have extra value if the thing is already a collectors item.
What having a first gen Glock says to me is that Paul probably bought it when the gen 2 was released which would have driven the price down on the first generation as stores needed to move then to make room for new inventory, didn't like it that much, and put it in a safe for if it ever became germane in making a point. I could be wrong, but I've gotten some great deals on musical equipment and cars that way, and I'm holding off on buying the AR that I want because the next generation of it should be coming out soon, so this current generation ought to go on massive sale. I may cyber Monday it, though (I don't have a PhD/MD, so I'm not allowed to have patience).
The 'New and Improve Aussie fleece bullet stop'. Thanks Paul, very good video as always.
You're correct, I always carry my P365 or my P238 with a pocket holster for safety and concealibility. One thing that sealed my decision to purchase the P365 was the availability of 9mm ammo. As a person that travels frequently, I find 9mm ammo is easy to find wherever I go but .380 is sometimes harder to find if at all. Great video, thanks.
