SIG CEO Ron Cohen is very proud of his company’s R&D investment. However, any new models will be subjected to this protocol during development.Īdditionally, they’ve put over 40,000 rounds through a P365 with no frame cracks. They dropped the P365, 574 times in 26 orientations as well as five drops at 6 feet on concrete.įor those of you are wondering if this new test protocol is going to be retroactive to older pistol models, it isn’t. Additionally, the Nitron coated stainless-steel slide comes standard with front and rear serrations for slide manipulation, as well as SIGLITE night sights.īased on their experience with the P320, SIG developed an entirely new, enhanced drop test protocol for duty handguns. The grip is fully-textured polymer with a slim-line rail. The P365 frame offers a high grip to bore axis to reduce perceived recoil. As you can imagine, the internals are very similar to the P320, with a fire control unit which is serialized. I want to be very clear that this is not a repackaged P320, although you can see that they are related. The 12 round extended magazine is available as an after market add-on accessory. The pistol comes with a 10 round flush magazine as well as a 10 round extended version. SIG has three patents pending for this new design which allows the P365 to be as narrow as it is.

It’s not a full double stack, nor a single stack, but rather something in between, a narrow neck. Essentially, designing the pistol around the magazine. Consequently, they started with the magazine. The engineers considered where they could make the biggest impact and decided capacity was key, so long as they could maintain in the other areas as well. SIG invested two years to develop the P365, but all of that started with an initial six months working on the magazine. This graphic offers a size comparison between various compact pistols and the P365. Here’s how the P365 stacks up compared to the footprint of other, similar pistols. When they decided to develop this pistol, SIG looked at the three attributes of pistols intended for concealed carry Concealability, Capability, and Capacity, evaluating what was already available in the market.

Now comes, the beauty part the standard magazine capacity is 10 rounds. It also weighs just 17.8 oz with an empty magazine. The basic stats are impressive the P365 measures 1″ wide, 5.8″ long, and 4.3″ tall with a barrel length of 3.1″. SIG refers to this 9mm as a High-Capacity Micro-Compact pistol. The name explains the pistol’s intent, as a concealed, everyday carry sidearm. Today, I get to share what I saw when they they sat us down for the big reveal. In early December I was invited, along with several other writers, to New Hampshire’s SIG SAUER to check out a completely new pistol they planned to release in early 2018.
