I've had mine for a couple years and have shot several thousand rounds. Eventually I did start to have extraction failures, so I sent it back to SIG. They returned it a week later with the entire top half of the pistol replaced free of charge. Good to know that if you ever do have a problem they'll take care of it for you. I've dealt with far too many other companies who would take their sweet time then finally send the gun back to me essentially unfixed.
Now that is great advertising & how a company can create a lifelong customer there 👍
They didn’t care how many years old it was? Did they need proof of ownership? Did you buy from the factory? Warranty?
What kind of ammo were you shooting and how often do you perform maintenance on your Sig? I read from Sig that some brands of ammo such as Blazer caused casing extraction problems but for the most part most ammo never causes any issues. It’s great they took care of it for you no questions asked! Now that is what I call Technical Support!!! Personally I should Federal Premium 9mm Hydra ShoK Jacketed Hollow Points. It’s one of the best rounds you can get your hands on.
@@ManicMechanic82federal hst is king
I have 5,750 rounds through my gen 2 P365 with zero issues and absolutely love it. It will continue to be my EDC for sure.
How do you know which gen it is?
@@chrislour8938 ruclips.net/video/tJEbvC58-ps/видео.html
Gen 2?
Have you had any ejection issues with it? Ik there were problems when they first came out, idk if they recalled it or not
@TryNDoxMe what kind of issues?
I bought my P365 used. On my first outing at the range with the P365, It broke on the first shot. Dead trigger and the striker would only cock when I turned the gun upside down. I did a little research and this was a common issue on the gen 1 version. I sent it back to sig and they upgraded it with new parts and had it back to my door in 2 days. It’s been flawless so far.
I have 3 of them. One I carry, one is a back up that stays in my truck and the other stays on my night stand. I like all my critical guns to be exactly alike. That way it doesn't mater witch one I'm using, it always feels the same.
You’re smart
I haven’t thought of that. Good idea.
U r rite my friend also one in my girlfriend house
Yes smart
Smartest damn thing I've heard all day
Bought a P365 to carry, and loved it. Wife noticed it one day and asked about it, so I made it safe and let her handle it. She commented on size, weight, and how well it fit her hand, so I asked her to compare to the Glock 19 she was carrying, and she said she liked the feel better. I suggested she try it for a few weeks and let me know if she wanted me to get one for her too.
That was about 6 months ago, and except for cleaning and function checks I haven't handled it since that conversation. I now carry a P365X that I bought when it became clear I was never getting my P365 back. The slightly larger pistol fits my hand better anyway, so it was a good thing - and now we both carry 365's.
Yes, the P365XL is becoming a Glock 19 killer.
That's beautiful xD
That’s cute 😂
I got a 365 ended up giving it to my wife because she liked it can carry it and it shoot it well. Bought a macro will see if that becomes hers to lol.
Adorable, all for the better too!
No fluff or bs. Straight to the point and honest. Geez this dude should be reviewing alot more things on YT. Great vid man 👍🏼
Over 60.000 rounds. Wow, that amount of ammo have cost a lot. Nice pistol the SIG 365 👍
He shoots a ton.
@@TacticalHyve You need to stop speaking for Myles. You make a fool of him with your misinformation. Especially on Atlas handguns.
What misinformation?
@@TacticalHyve just speak for yourself. And when people assume you are Myles, you should say that you are not him.
People tend to assume the person in each video manages comments, whether an SME or Myles. While they will read and reply if or when they can get to it, this is a company channel managed by members. It should be pretty clear with the multiple experts we feature.
I have both a P365 and P365XL both with XL grip modules and 12rd mags. Love them both. Use the XL for mostly range practice and the P365 for EDC. Thanks for the update!
Had mine about 8 months. Only got about 600 rounds through it so far. 500 ball aluminum cased Blazer (1 failure by primer) 100ish Sig V-Crown 115 and 124 standard pressure zero issues so far. Price of ammo has held me back. It replaced my previous carry 1st Gen XDS 3.3 9mm. Loved that pistol but traded it off after getting the P365. Good to hear you have that many rounds through both of them and they are still going. Gives me hope bc I carry this Pistol when I do carry. Only thing I’ve done to mine is put a Talon Grip on it.
I know this update/review was done a year ago, but I purchased one if these gems a couple days ago (used from a shop) so this review is perfect! It was pretty dirty and I took it to the range "as is" to see how it would behave. FLAWLESS! Cleaned it when I got home and looking forward to taking it out again. Thanks tons for this review!
I am a collector, and polished blued steel with beautiful wood will always be dear to my heart. That said, my carry gun here in Florida with our heat and humidity and need for deep concealment is a P365xl. I have to agree with you completely. It will never stir my emotions like my 1964 Python, but it's a better choice for carry when it's 98 degrees outside.
My wife and both carry the 365 daily. Flawless gun. Zero issues with close to 5,000 rounds fired through each gun. Love them.
I’ve owned both the P365 and the P365XL. Both amazing firearms. Easy to carry, reliable and very accurate considering their size. I would buy them both again. Used to be a Glock guy, but I’m Sig all the way now!
Glocks all look the same, they just are different sizes. I like my pistol to be a little different. Sig really did a good job on this one. I've been carrying one for about 6 months now.
Hi Jeff, is the p365xl able to pull off as a summer carry gun for you? Been nervous about buying it because I’m scared it won’t work with shorts and a t shirt.
@@chrisjavier2909 I’ve got both. Both conceal well but the p365 frame without the beaver tail conceals just a little bit better under a t shirt in the appendix position. I’m considering shaving the beaver tail off of the XL frame. One thing I do pretty often is put the XL slide on the regular p365 frame
What specifically do you prefer this over the glock? I'm in the market and torn between the p365/xl and glock 43x . For me I like the length of the glock handle but everything else on the sig seems better when holding it - edit - I got the p365 xmacro, 10/10
@@DirtyDirtbath I am no fan of the Glock grip angle, but I didn't hate the 43X. I had to try it to be fair to myself and rule it out. The 365XL points exactly where I envision it every time, and the extra capacity didn't hurt. My dad is on the fence about the X Macro.
My P365 was a very good well functioning 3rd gen tac pac pistol.
Then I installed aftermarket 14 round Magguts magazine springs/baseplate in the factory 12 rd mags.
Two extra rounds with last few rounds easy loading as first few rounds.
Since then my P365 has become a flawless great pistol.
This has been my EDC for almost three years. It has been dead reliable with whatever ammo I feed it.
I have been carrying, on duty and off, for over fifty years, and am certified as a police firearms instructor. I have had experience with a wide variety of pistols, own more then a few and this is the one I trust day in and day out.
Same here, bought about 6 months after they came out. Never had a single problem. Carried as a backup in uniform & off duty. I was also full time LE firearms instructor & Idpa Master class shooter.
That’s a meaningful review coming from someone like you who has carried for decades.
How many rounds have you shot with your p365?
Great video! No-frills and straight to the point from a shooter’s perspective. Awesome! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾
I have a Gen 1 and have never had an issue with it. I did install the Sig factory flat trigger and it did improve the trigger performance.
Great video!!!
I have only 1000 through mine but with same results!
1. Points naturally
2. Gets back on target fast
3. Recoil easy to control with proper grip
4. Feeds everything
5. Small and highly concealed
6. Nothing bad not even primer drag
I am in Quality Control and teach it to many companies. Sig got this one right!
Thanks for a great video.
I love this little gun. So easy to carry.
The regular 365 grip was a bit too small for me. So I got the xl grip module to snap it in. Now it's perfect.
8 thousand rounds and counting. It's been perfect 👍
Did the same with my original P365... The XL grip module is absolutely perfect!!!!
I use the stick on"talon" grips, perfect gun.
Just wondering if the Sig P365 grip that you found a little too small had the extension tab (pinky extension) that Sig is selling with the OEM 365. With the pink extension, I found it large enough to keep all fingers on the handgun and felt comfortable drawing and shooting. But I agree that the Sig P365 with the flat base is sacrificing too much speed in drawing.
I bought mine in May 2018...I have never had a problem and I really like it. Thank you for your honest and informative review!
I love mine. Nowhere near as high a round count, but I do about as well with it within 15 yards as I do my VP9. Only thing I don't like is that one of the roll pins does sort of come loose every thousand rounds. It's easy to push back in fully, but if I hadn't noticed this happens and adjusted it, it could have potentially become a big problem.
Myles, the vuurwapen extended mag button is excellent.
Not big enough to hit by accident, and is not engaged by holster.
Shaved time off of my reloads big time. 2yrs in for me, 2500 rounds and it's been flawless.
Good vid. Thanks.
I bought a Glock 43 thinking it would become my EDC gun. I already owned other Glocks that I like and shoot well. I never felt really good with the G43; was more “snappy” than I like and my groups weren’t as good as with most of my other pistols. Then I tried a Sig P365. I love the feel in my hand (grip) and it shoots very well. I also like the larger mag capacities (I upgraded to 12 and 15 rd mags and it still doesn’t print when carrying concealed). Zero malfunctions in the two years I have had mine, and because it is small (easily concealable even when just wearing a t-shirt and shorts) I carry it a lot. I also like the round capacity, fit in my hand(s) and accuracy. Keep up the good stuff Myles.
The P365 is on my ankle on duty and IWB when off duty. Such a great carry gun. Only problem I've have was with the front sight, but Sig fixed and returned it within a week.
Great review. Agree, I like to keep it stock. Love the trigger, accuracy. The only issue I find is the mag release. If it’s your EDC and you “eat, sleep and drink” with it, as the saying goes, then it will not be a problem. You will compensate. Thank you for a real world, shooters review.
I may only put 1000 rounds through my P365 in the next 10 years so thanks for putting it through the paces for us to see how it holds up
How much do you practice then ,very little ?
You should fire your carry gun A LOT. It should one of if not the most fired gun you have. Are you defending your life with a gun you don't know how it shoots or common issues it might have? That's crazy.
@@huracan200173Dry firing is enough
@@huracan200173 Or preferably, an exact copy of your carry gun.
@@huracan200173what's crazy is how you little you know about basic life outside your own life. You think people with young kids can just go out shooting every other day? Hell I have thousands of rounds through my carry guns but definitely don't feel like I need to be out at the range as much as you do apparently. But I also grew up on 300 acres and shot guns my whole life. You don't need to make it a part time job just to be proficient with a weapon.
Have carried my P365 for about 2 years as well. Zero reliability issues after several hundred rounds. Only reason I haven't put more through it are time & budget constraints.
An excellent presentation! I was out yesterday "window shopping" for a near future CCW weapon and I mean the P365 felt just like someone shaking my hand. It felt so natural.I'm very picky but am in a hurry to move the process forward and feel that I've found my proper firearm. And no, this isn't the first handgun that I've handled and yes, I will go to a rent-a-range to test fire a P365.
This review is from someone that clearly has a ton of personal experience over an extended period of time and carries it daily. Good succinct, straight to the point review from someone that fired more rounds through this firearm alone than most people fire in a lifetime.
Just got my xl 2 weeks ago. It has taken some getting used to coming from a 43 but after tons of dry fire and 250 rounds with no issues, it’s definitely growing on me. I’m more accurate with the 43 but have shot it for years as compared to 2 weeks.
Would have bought the XL instead due to longer grip, but while I normally use the 12 rd extended mag. there are times concealment dictates 10 rd mag. A trade off as always. Wish I could afford both.
It’s the first gun that I bought and really have enjoyed it. I have heard the sound you are talking about a little, but it still works perfectly fine! Love it!
Great video, thank you. I recently upgraded my carry option from a Ruger EC9s to the p365. I really love it. I got the Tacpac (case, holster, and 3 12rd mags), and I love it, I love shooting with it and am becoming very accurate. I am sure I will be carrying this as an EDC, and I am sure I will not feel the need to upgrade to something else. Thanks again.
I have had the Sig P365 since 2019 and have put thousands of rounds through it. It has not malfunctioned one time. I use the 15 capacity extended magazine. Very accurate micro 9mm
Great gun. I have a couple thousand rounds threw mine. Use my support hand to release the mag and strip the mag when going for a reload. Very accurate and no problem for me out to 25 yards. I have not tried it at longer distances.
I have thousands of rounds through my P365 and it has been totally flawless. Both my wife and I carry and train with our 365’s and find they are our favorite EDC weapons. I use the N8 Professional holster for year round comfort (grip never touches bare skin).
Did you replace the recoil spring ?
This has been my EDC for a few years since I went to the range with my buddy that just got a P365 and I fell in love. I immediately didn't pay rent and went out and got me one to finally start to carry a gun daily and I couldn't be happier. I've put about 2000 rounds through mine and I bought it used and haven't had a single malfunction even with aluminum tulammo. I've recently got into carrying with one in the chamber and got myself a safe holster. Carry it at 4oclock everyday. Couldn't be happier.
I've had the NRA version for about a year, only put about 150rds through it so far, but videos like these were the reason I bought it over the competition. Completely modular, up to 15rds capacity, comfortable to carry all day and shoots well.
I got my P365 almost 2 years ago and love it. Carry it every day, as well. From the time I get dressed in the morning, until undressed at night. Around 14 hours a day ? I did catch the base of the mag grip on a ladder and cracked it, so did a trim job on it.
I have both 10 round mags and bought 2 extra 15 round mags. I carry the 10 and have a 15 nearby at all times, then alternate weekly. Haven't shot anywhere near as much as you, but have never had a malfunction. Ever. Love the way it recoils and the follow up 2nd shot. I carry left side (weak side for me) and it handles like a jewel, whether shooting left or right handed. I mostly practice my double taps left handed, then switch to right. Probably not ideal, but on the left, the seat belt doesn't mess with the draw. I'm figuring the odds of needing it in a vehicle are at least 50/50.
It's so comfortable I forget it's there. The profile is small enough that it doesn't hit the arm of a chair when sitting or getting up. A plus for us bigger guys.
Thanks for your video, glad to hear your experience !
Honest review...no advertising.....much appreciated.
Owned and shot for around 2 yrs. as well. Best EDC I've Ever had. Carry mine w/12 rd. mags Simple as that. I actually prefer a .45 acp but they are either too heavy or much shorter on # of rounds.
Thanks for your insights, Myles. Your experience and opinion mean a lot to me. I was hesitant before, but I'll go ahead and buy it tomorrow morning. Much appreciated.
My particular manual safety example was born on June 1, 2019. Over 600 rounds of all kinds of ammo and still flawless. I don't keep round counts after a pistol goes much beyond 500 rounds. I don't worry much about the trigger or sights of a close range defensive pistol only meant to be shot up to about 20 yards. Just so long as they do the job for that distance. For longer ranges the trigger and sights are more important. I will say the 365 has the smoothest trigger throughout the pull of any striker I have shot. Can't judge the 365 trigger just by dry firing it. Its pretty bad dry fire. Live fire is the only way to appreciate that smooth pull. Its a micro compact and the smaller the pistol the harder it is to shoot so it does take more practice to stay proficient. More so than my sub compacts. Thanks for sharing.
I've had mine for 3 years now no problems at all and love it thanks for the review
I’m actually considering purchasing this gun & this review was truly helpful. Glad I found such a recent review video. Thanks.
Def worth considering. I switch between my 43x and my 365lx. Tbh the 365lx feels better but the 43x with s15 mag(more ammo, flush) it's hard to say.
I got myself one for my birthday last year and I've been happy with it ever since.
Enjoyed your thoughts on the 365 ! I have only fired mine less then 200 rounds and so far so good but that said, I have to say its small size has now pushed me (allowed me) to carry much more due to the comfort issue. Ive had bigger carry handguns and to be honest there were times when i should have taken my carry gun but did NOT because of my gun being somewhat uncomfortable. NOT HERE! With the 365 i almost never leave home without it ...its so conformable!!! Thats a BIG plus in my view. (mine was born June of 2020 so not really sure what Gen it is)
I got this gun a few months ago as a carry weapon and I have really enjoyed it. My girlfriend likes it alot too. She doesn't like my full size because of the muzzle flip but loves to shoot my Sig. We end up both wanting to use it to the point we have to play rock paper scissors for who gets to shoot it first at the range. We have had zero issues as well. The two mag that came with the gun were both 10 round (one flush and on with a small wedge of plastic to give a bit more room to grip but no extra room for rounds) and she wanted the extended (12 round) cause her hands are slightly bigger. Over all we love it and glad to hear its working well for you guys too.
Glad it’s working well!
I was trying to come up with a smartass comment about your girlfriend having bigger hands than you, but thought it might come off rude.😅
Outstanding review, I own Glocks Sigs H&K pistols but I grew up in the River Quay and learned to shoot from my grandfather who would make wax bullets for us boys so we could practice in the alley behind his house and to this day more often than not I leave the house with a 442 smith with crimson trace grips on it and a couple speed loaders stoked with underwood ammo, oh yeah and a stiletto 🤷♂️
I had problems with the 365 I purchased about 8 months after the initial release. Every time I went to the range it would malfunction, regardless of ammo or mags. I traded it in for a Glock 43X and purchased the Shield mags. Everything about the Sig was great ! Except the reliability.
Your presentation makes me want to get another 365… it’s amazing how accurate it is and how well the sights work on that gun.
Had to be a lemon, was it pre-owned?
Definitely a lemon. Mine is fantastic. And so accurate and not as snappy as I thought for such a small pistol. Now that is perfection. But even the best have lemons.
Hk vp9sk or this gun? Help
I studied fundamentals but still sucked with my canik, g19, other full size/compact pistols. But when I tried the 365, and applied the fundamentals I was trying on the bigger ones, it all came together and I was seriously in awe at how accurate I could be with it. I don’t know if it’s the barrel twist or what but, Im confident with the thing.
Maybe your hand size is smaller so you like a smaller gun
Yeah I think you guys are correct on that one.
Glad to hear you found exactly what works good for you. And it turned out to be one of the best micro 9s on the market. Sounds like a win win!
I have has a few friends who could shoot the G19 well, but love the P365. They all have smaller hands, so they claim they can hold on to the gun better.
Great honest review! Love your perspective on all
Nice honest point about the Mag release ! It was at a bad angle for me. I installed the Veerstapen Steel extended and now it works great!
Huge help. Well done. Appreciate the experience.
Had the original, sold it for XL. I have large hands and the XL grip let’s me keep all fingers on it and the mags drop nice and free. Perfect carry size.
Great review!. Thanks for the good and the bad that you found on the gun. I appreciate the solid and honest overview :)
Mine came with thst little sound. Freaked me out at first cause I had just bought it. But it’s a great gun. I carry the XL daily. At about 12,000 with no flaws. Great video
Been carrying this for about 2 years, so I'm guessing 2nd Gen? No matter, it's been a great reliable, accurate gun. Not one jam or malfunction of any kind. I'm a big Sig fan but your observation about the mag release is spot on, so you have to train a little more with regard to hot reloads etc. Just FYI, Alien Gear makes a fantastic IWB holster for the 365 in case anyone is interested. Thanks for the vid.
I bought my P365 sometime in April of 2021(Born on date of March 2021) I've ran maybe 40 rounds thru it and had failures to feed occurring only with cci blazer 115gr fmj. Not a big deal, its just target ammo. It handles carry ammo just fine though with no malfunctions. But I was more concerned about the rattling sound you mentioned. Mine has done this as well since I bought it but thanks for mentioning it bc I haven't been able to find too much about that rattling anywhere else. Good review, very in depth
I never buy blazer ammo. Had a bad experience with it decades ago in a Remington 581S .22 and condemned it straightaway.
Great review, thanks. Just picked up a variant yesterday (p365 macro) and was experiencing a little doubt I made a good choice over the FN 509. I still want an FN 509, but purchased the SIG p365xca macro because it looked like a very concealable gun, has night sights, and I have always wanted to own a SiG. I have yet to shoot this gun, but I shot a std. P365 two weeks ago. My doubts have been alleviated from watching your video, Hickok 45, Hammer Striker, and a few others, and reading hundreds of super positive reviews.
Appreciate your time making this.
Gonna get one, have a sig 38 but been wanting a good concealed 9. Thank for the new review man👍🏼
Had a G26 that I carried for years. A friend let me shoot his P365 and I was more accurate with it shooting multiple steel targets. It fits my hand and conceals better so I replaced the 26 with a P365. No issues after at least 1000 rounds.
I went from a G26 for years as by backup gun to a Shield due to being flatter to the P365.
Same.
G26 is my EDC only problem is it kind a heavy, is the 365 Somewhat lighter?
@@Sirfluffy51 i believe it is. the p365 is crazy light.
Switched from the g26 to the p365 over 2 years ago. Love both, but the 365 is much easier to carry and conceal.
I have the whole 365 line up from the 365,365x,365xl. I love them I carry the 365x now for the extra grip and smaller barrel then xl. Great gun put almost 3,500 rounds thru it no failures but one and it was due to me not cleaning it got the first 900 rounds
I love my 365X. Never had a malfunction. I carry with the flush fit 12 and run the 15 as a spare. The 15 round mag is awesome for the range and feels like my legion 226 SAO running pins. It is a tack driver and the flat trigger is the best striker trigger I have ever shot. Damn thing made me give up my 357 j-frames for daily carry. No downsides to this thing. I am now thinking of getting the XL with trijicon, icarus frame and PMN barrel and comp for a primary.
The fact you mentioned the sound is funny, I just got one, never fired it yet but it makes that clicky sound when you shake it around just right... Great video.👍
I was shopping for a gun last year. They recommended the P365 because of my abnormally small wrists and carpal tunnel. It is amazing! Thanks for the insight on long term with the Sig.
Great video, man. Really appreciate it. Very informative for me. Thank you for that. I also carry p365 everyday at 3 o'clock over two years now. I have November 2018 version. I modified nothing - all parts are original. Loved this gun in every perspective on first sight and I'm not planning to trade it in the near future. I've shot a couple thousand rounds with it and even participated in a few competitions. By the way, no problem with magazine release - not so fast as with Shadow 2, but it went quite smooth. One important thing i have to mention regarding reliability - I use strictly two types of ammo: Hornady American Gunner +P 124 gr XTP for self-defense and Magtech 115 gr for completion/practice. I had extraction issues with other brands and also with Magtech 124 gr.
Thanks! Glad to hear the gun is working for you.
Great review, thanks for the vid! I’m new to firearms and it’s my edc as well. I like the 15 (edc spare) and 32 round (for giggles). Maguts have flush mags for the x and xl to carry 10, 12, and 14!
This was a great review! I have a 365X and I was thinking about getting a second one because I love the gun so much. I never had any problems with it, guess they worked out all the kinks.
This video was really helpful and informative, liked and subbed THANKS
Great video. Purchased one after watching your video. Will be testing and training with it soon.
awesome video keep them coming
Recently shot my son's P365. Has a flat shooting soft recoil, much more so than larger guns I own so, I just purchased the P365X. Really impressed. It's my favorite self defense gun.
I own and shoot the P365SAS and the P365XL was the first pistol I ever purchased and it was for my wife. She requested it. We went to training sharing the P365XL. I still shoot both but my EDC is a Kimber Ultra Carry II 45ACP which conceals well for me. I’d recommend the P365 to anyone without hesitation and I still carry it sometimes especially in the summer months with lighter clothing.
Hey this is a great review Thank you so much
I love my P365 MS. Shoots accurately, no malfunctions. Disappears into my Don Hume leather holster. I keep SIG V-Crown ammo in it, made for the gun. I highly recommend it.
Hey Man, nice review. I've had one of these for about 6 months and haven't been able to take it out to the range yet. Thanks for giving your opinion on the 365.
Mine has the rattle too, found out it was the takedown lever as well. It was driving me crazy lol. Great video brother.
When the gun is fully assembled, the noise that comes from shaking the pistol is the Safety Lever. The takedown lever also makes noise but that is when the gun is disassembled and you shake it. I own a P365 as well and noticed the same thing you did with the noise. Brand new, I never heard any noise but with use and time, I started noticing it. To my knowledge, it is not anything that will affect the gun or anything to worry about.
Thanks for the review. It certainly makes me feel better about mine. I've never understood how anyone complains about the trigger as the stock one is fine imo.
The only problem I've had is the second-generation firing pin broke at around 800 rounds in my example. I replaced it with a Titanium one and haven't had any more issues but it's only at around 1500 rounds now. Considering the Ti one isn't MIM I don't expect to have anymore issues but that failure still lives in the back of my head.
Good honest review here. I like that you keep it stock. If you ever need to, you can pick up another one and not have to get acquainted with the trigger if you never modify your carry gun.
Thank you for your honest review. And it is good to know that it is your daily carry.
Due to the ammo shortage I haven't put many thousands of rounds through it in 26 months, but I have put a few thousand rounds and it's been excellent. I had 1 FTE with Russian steel case ammo that might have had a few specs of rust on the case. All FMJ brass case ammo and high end hollow point ammo has been perfect. I carry 12 round mags with Magguts Inc plus 2 converter kits for a 14 plus 1 set up. 15 rounds seems to be very adequate for a conceal carry EDC firearm. Great gun.
You should leave those mag guts alone & keep your gun as stock as possible bro
After seeing my son's P365, I fell in love and bought a P365XL as an EDC for the straight trigger. G19 will now stay at home. After shooting for 65 years, this is the best EDC I have found... though a S&W 686+ 4" comes close... 😉
I’m so glad you brought up the shaking noise. It bugged the hell out of me but still ran fine. 🤷♂️
Great gun. I have the P365 for EDC and an XL for a range gun, which can quickly be converted into an EDC. Armory Craft makes a great aftermarket trigger. I have it on both. Armory craft also make a great extended mag release you can install easily.
If you have a larger hand size and want more grip, buy an XL grip module and swap it on in 2 minutes. Will need a mag with the XL mag base. 12 or 15 rd mags.
My son gave me a P365 9mm for father's day. I haven't put it down yet. I can't wait to train with this gun. I'm a larger guy and the pinky mag feels just fine. It came down to the Glock 43 and this one and I keep hearing about an advantage with the Sig in accuracy. We'll see. We're heading to the range this week. I can hardly wait.
How has it held up?
Great review, thank you!
Excellent video!! Have you changed the recoil spring? If so at what round count? The recoil spring may have something to do with the takedown lever being loose.
I waited for two years or longer for all the problems to go away, then I picked one up and it's one of the best guns I have fired right out of the box and no messing with the sights. I did after awhile got a Hogue grip for it my hands are kind of large and that made so much different when I shoot.. This is one of my guns that I will not part with. I had gone to the range and fired same size guns but this was the one I have. Great gun.
I'm in the market to purchase my first pistol and this is near the top of my list. Your video may have just pushed it to #1
I bought mine on6-15-2022 and i love it...it's my carry gun now. I bought the tac-pac which came with 1 15rd mag and 2 12rd mags and an outside/inside holster. For me the holster was too uncomfortable for everyday inside carry but, i do use it as outside carry walking my property ( 40 acres).
Have commend you sir.. You have spent lots of time, money, and effort to test the sig.. As a sig p365 and p320 xcompact owner I so appreciate your efforts!!! Thank you
Right on
I just bought an XL so I’m excited to see this long tested of a review :)
Good choice!
I have a P365X and I love it so much. XL grip module, optics ready, and a nice flat trigger (all of which are on the XL) I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.
I EDC an SAS now. It replaced my Kahr MK9. Same length, same height, same width, same weight. At least it seems the same to me. With the Magguts upgrade, I have literally DOUBLE the ammo capacity! I have at least 400 rounds through it. Only one malfunction. A light strike due to oil getting into the striker channel during a previous cleaning.
I have 2 P365’s but technically 4 different configurations. Just like my P320, modularity in the big win for me. Being from California (non LEO), the ability to change my configuration due to different needs while only being able to carry 3 registered firearms is pretty cool. Currently carry a P365XL with a green 507K as my primary regardless of outfit or weather conditions.
Love my 365XL with green 507k
I'm so sorry you're from California
Really appreciate the review from the perspective of a trainer and heavy shooter. I have the P365XL, The 365 left my pinky hanging, hence why I went with the XL, and it is fantastic. Totally stock, yet mine came with a skeletonized flat trigger, like my X5, I am wondering if it is a different gen than the gen2 you have. It is my EDC. Great grip. Compact, comfortable and accurate. Never had an issue. I still love my X5, it is a nail driver, but EDC would be just to burdensome. [edit] You brought up ammo, and I forgot to mention. I have only use 124gr. Winchester, Federal, S&B, and Fiocchi. Never any reloads. Also, I carry in a Vedder holster at 7 o’clock (I am a southpaw)
The P365XL is a great gun as well! Thanks for the comment.
I own both bought them when they hit the market . I always fill new handgun magazine’s up and leave them alone for a week . This has always made loading my magazines easier.
Excellent review
Really enjoyed your video, it was refreshing. It’s hard watching a lot of the other gun reviewers videos at times, most are just gun snobs.
We have had two of the P365, one for me and one for my wife both CC for over a year. I did research for almost 5 months before getting it narrowed down to 3 pistols before we bought. I knew that the one we purchased needed to be usable and comfortable for both of us. There was a Glock 9mm, the Springfield Hellfire and the SIG P365XL. We went to a range with rental guns to see what would fit us. The stores first suggestion instantly when we told them what we were thinking about was the Glock. I figured that was going to happen based on all the Glock poster and informational fliers on the cabinets. We never even bothered to fire the Glock as to us, it had the worst possible fitting grip. The squared off diagonal handle with no sort of rounded grip annoyed both of us. We took the Hellfire and they didn't have the P365XL available as someone else had it, but one of the instructors did. We tried both on the range and found the SIG to be more accurate for new shooters. More comfortable to hold and just overall what we were going to buy. The guy next to us had the P365 which is slightly different and he asked us to shoot it. We did and saw no real differences until he filled us in. The P365XL was fresh out and ran a bit over $700 at the time. He let us know a local all sport shop had the P365 in stock with a holster, case and two mags for $499. We bought two and have loved it since. Over 2500 rounds in each shot by both of us and also my daughter to be able to protect herself as well. It may be a few years and Thanks to ILLINOIS Gov Jerks it will be longer here for her to get a FOID but she can defend herself with this just as well. Great to see this video showing we made the right choice and we have no future issues to expect.
