QUICK SIG SAUER P365 REVIEW

The SIG Sauer P365 is a single-action, recoil operated semi-automatic pistol. The SIG P365 was designed by SIG Sauer Inc., the American sister company of SIG Sauer GbmH, the most famous Swiss gun manufacturer. The pistol was introduced in 2018 and it has since become one of the most popular everyday carry handguns. The P365 keeps finding itself on nearly every list of the best available carry guns and it poses a real threat to other popular sub-compact pistols.

What sets the SIG P365 apart from its competition is its high capacity double-stack magazine, offering 10+1 rounds of ammo. At the pistol’s launch, SIG Sauer also introduced an extended 12 rounds magazine with a pinky extension and, later on, they even delivered an extended 15 rounds magazine. The P365 is chambered in the 9x19mm Parabellum, the most popular everyday carry and service caliber. When it comes to the pistol’s firing mechanism, the P365 is a striker-fired pistol.

The overall length of the gun is 5.8’’ and the barrel of this pistol is 3.1’’ long. When unloaded, the pistol weighs mere 17.8oz, which makes it one of the lightest pistols currently available on the market. The pistol’s light weight is the result of materials used in the SIG’s production. Material-wise, the SIG P365’s slide is made of stainless steel and the frame and grips are made of black polymer. The SIG Sauer P365 is also available in Nitron Micro-Compact finish.

This pistol’s slide is equipped with front and rear serrations. The P365 also comes with 3-dot tritium SIG Sauer XRay3 Night Sights, which deliver great accuracy.
