Sig P365 PROBLEMS!

[@2S1L3NT]

Why the hell would anyone ever shoot anything but brass in a firearm that costs more than a couple hundred bucks?

[@countryboyguns]

I guess it depends. I really want to buy an AK, but a decent one costs over $1K these days. I'd still shoot a ton of steel cased ammo through it. Maybe during an ammo shortage that's all you can find to train with. Maybe you decided to save up with a very inflexible budget to buy a quality gun and quality accessories for it but you can't afford quality ammo for training, so you get steel because it gives you more practice for the limited funds you can spend on ammo. My philosophy has changed on this over the years if I'm being honest. I used to have a hard line on not running steel cased ammo through anything except my commie guns. These days I still prefer brass for practice and nickel for defensive ammo, but I wouldn't have any issue with using steel case if that's all I can get my hands on. That being said, everyone is different and there is no "right" answer as far as I'm concerned.

[@2S1L3NT]

@@countryboyguns Well to be fair all I've ever run in my AKs and 7.62x39 AR's is steel case... but that's basically the only option for that caliber as well. Brass is available, but theres no point in running it or paying that price. Also, the case taper is designed to release steel case without issue. Nobody should be shooting straight wall steel case in any firearm though. It's not soft enough to release correctly.

[@countryboyguns]

Here again, I tend to agree with you, but I also see exceptions to that thought process. I don't think using steel cased .45 acp or .38 special as bad depending on the circumstances. Training is training and getting 20% more live fire reps is significant, especially if money is a factor. And if someone is using steel cased ammo for defensive use because that's all they can afford or all they can find, then I can't fault them. If I had to choose between throwing a Glock 30 at a bad guy or firing a steel cased 230 grain .45 acp at them, I'd choose the crap ammo all day long. I definitely still prefer better ammo, even for practice or just for fun, but there is still value in having a cheap bang vs no bang when you pull the trigger.

[@Eddie87Grant]

Yep I’m having the same problems with my sig 365xl. I’m sorry to hear about your issues.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm sorry to hear about yours as well. I haven't heard nearly as many complaints about the XL as I have the standard. Mrs. Country has an XL and we both like it. It hasn't seen nearly as many rounds as this gun, but no issues so far. I hope things stay that way, but if they don't I'll make sure to make a video about it.

Sorry to hear about your problems. I am a P365 owner as well. Mine has a D.O.B. of 4/15/19, and I have put more than 2800 trouble free rounds through it to date.

[@countryboyguns]

Thanks, Paul. I'm happy to hear that yours has had no issues. It's such a great design that you can't not love it if it's reliable! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm sure the rest of the audience will be happy to hear about them as well.

[@reachblowsdick7222]

I've tested many P365 over the two years, all of them have had a small to major issue. The G43x or Hellcat are far better. My old 43 hit over 50K rounds without gun related failures.

[@drz400pa5]

I like that your not just talking crap. Very humble guy here.

[@countryboyguns]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

Born December 2020, purchased January '21. Cleaned after each short session. Approx. 350-400 various brand brass rounds. No issues thus far.

[@countryboyguns]

That's awesome to hear. I'm glad it's working well for you so far. I had high hopes until around the 700 round mark when this happened. That's why I set the 1000 rd failure free minimum when I bought mine, because I had heard of issues popping up at higher than average round counts. I hope yours never gives you so much as a bad draw from concealment.

[@rodfenske6255]

I recently purchased a SIG 365. Cleaned it went to the range and out of a box of fifty rounds I had Seven failure to extract. The extractor spring was so weak I could push the extractor with my finger. Back at home I removed the extractor spring, it was quite weak. I replaced it with a much stiffer extractor spring. Back at the range today I ran two hundred rounds with no problem. I intend to carry it after I run another three hundred rounds through it.

[@RussGllm]

What new extractor spring you used? I just streched mine with pliers and filed a little an extractor where it contact the slide. No issues since. But still is better to use undamaged parts.

[@countryboyguns]

I've only ever had Sig factory parts in that gun. I've sent it back twice and the first time they replaced the extractor and slide. I don't remember if they replaced the extractor spring, but it wouldn't surprise me given that they replaced 2 other major parts that required removal of the spring.

[@teasquared09]

Did you guys clean the sig gunk out before firing straight out of the box? I didn't and was experiencing failure to return to battery. Cleaned all the sig preservative crap out of there and haven't had that issue since. But, sometimes when I put in a fresh mag the slide closes on it's own, and when that happens- the slide doesn't stay open when the mag is empty. Totally weird.

[@countryboyguns]

That's a whole hodge podge of weird issues. I don't typically clean my guns before firing them. I'll check the bore for obstructions or machine marks and look the parts over to make sure nothing is broken or wonky looking. I don't even usually add lube to dry guns right out of the box. I want to see how it'll perform as it's sold to the consumer before I start doing anything, but that's just my methodology. I definitely don't think it's a bad idea to give a gun a thorough cleaning out of the box.

[@JackFirlow]

I didn’t and I’ve now ran 800 rounds through mine. No cleaning, straight from the store.

[@richnock4712]

I've had some FTE problems too after 850 rounds sent it back to SIG and they said pistols was fine. They claimed they ran various ammo through it and it worked as it should l'm a bit skeptical are they owning up to their problems or just brushing it off?

[@roul3688]

Not to bash Sig or praise Springfield but my Hellcat is around 700 rounds in with a variety of bullets including hollow points, and lots of reloads including 147gr and 124gr flat points and 115gr fmj. Just saying, if you carry a weapon, it needs to be reliable.

[@countryboyguns]

My point exactly! I want a Hellcat so bad I can taste it...but back to the point at hand, that's why I focused on this gun so much more than others. I REQUIRE reliability in a gun that I may carry for defensive purposes. To me, that's a non negotiable point. I'm glad your Hellcat is running well for you. If my standard 365 after warrantee work ends up being reliable, I'd love to compare the two platforms and see which one I like better, so your experience bodes well for that video (series?). Thank you for the comment and the info!

[@jacobseraphin685]

It’s nice to test out different types of bullets with your carry gun I was thinking about buyin the hell cat

[@robt4234]

It's the angle the sig grip has for me. If any other company would angle the grip in that way I would be all over it.

[@countryboyguns]

I personally don't prefer such a vertical grip. I feel the same about Berettas, but I like many Berettas so I just deal with the grip angle.

[@jona5517]

Same here. My Hellcat has been flawless. Actually both my wife's and mine have been flawless.

[@yorkbleyer9803]

Sorry about your issues. Two years 365x macro comp 5k rounds through it, zero problems. They have designed a new extractor, heavier striker sping. But so far shooting 5k of different weights and brands. Zero problems.

[@GroundedRoots]

Great video. I just picked one up that was made on 4 Feb 2021. My first time taking it to shoot didn't go as well as I hoped. I only fired around 50 rounds through it, but had 6 or 7 times where it failed to properly feed the next round and the slide was still slightly open with the round not fully seated in the barrel. I'm going to give the gun another chance considering it was brand new, and I was using terrible blazer ammo (the only gun I can get that ammo to run in without problems is my glock 17). I haven't experienced any failures to extract yet, but I'll keep a lookout.

[@countryboyguns]

Thank you for the comment! Please keep us updated on how your gun performs going forward. I have my personal opinions, but I'm very interested in how a newer made gun fares. Also, keep watching the channel, because there's a new video coming in the next few weeks about my 365 and I think you'll find it very interesting.

[@Missegyptlatesha]

Call sig customer service let them know they'll fix the issue or send you a new gun no questions asked

[@countryboyguns]

I already called them once over this gun (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGmfGaNpL2hfdE) and the first rep I talked to basically blamed me, saying essentially that I shouldn't expect the gun to be reliable until I had at least 1000 rounds of premium (aka expensive) defensive ammo through it as a break in period, which I don't think any modern firearm should require. The second time I called, they created an RMA and a shipping label for me (kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYq8fINodqd9nck). I showed the slip documenting the work they performed in this video, and I had this issue after that warrantee work. I'm still willing to give the gun and Sig a chance, but I don't feel like going through that whole ordeal again and spending my money on today's ammo prices to most likely run into another problem with the gun. If Sig wants to change my mind on this gun, I would love to chat with them and discuss what that process looks like and I would do so open mindedly and give the gun another fair shake.

[@mikialthorvarsson4569]

@@countryboyguns A thousand rounds for break-in is a bit extreme. Most guns are nicely broken in between 200 and 500 rounds. When the service rep starts blaming the customer it's time to find a new brand.

[@countryboyguns]

My thoughts as well

[@pmorin313]

I'm having FTE's (Double feeds) withe my ZEV 365xl with the updated extractor..started with 115gr after 400rds it was happening once or twice every 100rds after that. Switched to 124gr and it was humming along for roughly 350rds or so than it started up again. One thing I noticed is the spring tension is much lighter than the the extractor on my standard 365 circa 2018. I'm gonna start out changing the spring and see how that goes....I should add this is a ZEV slide I assembled with factory Sig components..

[@countryboyguns]

I'm sorry to hear that. I honestly don't have any experience with the Zev slides, nor have I heard any stories from anyone else until now. This is interesting, I really hope the spring replacement fixes the problem. Either way, please keep us updated so we can all learn.

Does that make you feel better??🤔

[@Wilders53]

I keep a log of exactly what types of ammo I run through it! And exactly the round count! And have since I bought it just because of the issues Sig had been having in the early runs. I'd put this pistol up against any other gun I've ever owned! I also will turn 50 this year and live in South West Virginia. County born and raised shooting! This isn't my first Rodeo with shooting pistols! I don't get paid by Sig!!!! I'm a welder that just loves to shoot!! I don't review shit unless I'm over the top impressed by fuckin any GODDAMN thing!!!! I have better things to do with the little time I have not killing myself at work!!!!

[@TheKovacz]

I had the same issue at around 1,500 rounds, sent it back to Sig in which they replaced the extractor, extractor spring and recoil spring. It ran great until it cleared 3,200 rounds and the extraction issues came back. I purchased mine in June of 2018.

[@countryboyguns]

Good to know, Jason. Since they changed the extractor geometry, which forced them to change the milling on the slide as well, I'm hoping my gun with those 2 replacements will work perfectly from now on. I guess we'll see once we don't have to take out a second mortgage just to buy 9mm lol.

[@scottyb4606]

I have put 1.5k rounds through my p365 9mm. Round # 30 did fail to eject but after 1 or 2 early issues it never repeated. I recently got the 380 conversion and it is having failure to chamber fully issues with many different ammo. Lighter ammo is worse. I put the 9mm slide back on and zero problems again.

[@Rooster-fo7lg]

Sending to sig is a waste of time. I sent mine in twice, they simply ran 100 through it and said it was OK. Mine wasn’t choking that often, but it was regular enough to not trust it. I ended up changing the extractor myself and polishing the chamber myself. It went almost 1000 with no issues. Just as I started to love it again, now I’m getting FTE’s again, it’s back to zero yet again and I’m thinking about dumping it. I’ve got multiple holsters and accessories. Financially, I hate to do that…

[@mountaindweller4439]

Found your channel while trying to figure out problems that started occurring after just 1 box of ammo through my Sig P-365. First indication was that the slide failed to stay open when my mag was empty. I tried a new full 12 rd mag and it jammed when I tried to put a round into the chamber. In fact it jams EVER time I try. So I decided to clean it. The slide lock wont hold the slide back when I try that. The slide lock wont hold with an empty mag. I'll try reaching out to Sig Sauer now but my 1st impression of this pistol is not good at all. Like you, I just bought a new holster for it after using it twice. All these issues arose after just one box of ammo was run through it. Thanks for doing this video.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm sorry you're having so many issues. I hate hearing that. I have an entire playlist on this gun if you're interested. Thank you for the comment and I hope the video was helpful.

I've only had mine for about 3-4 weeks. So far we've put 350 rounds through with 0 hints of an issue. I'm meticulous about cleaning after the range though, and we only do about 100 rounds at a time right now getting used to it, so I'm not sure about it operating on more rounds than that without a thorough cleaning. However, my wife and I both have enjoyed it so far, and it has been a great carry gun for me the past couple weeks. P.s. Roll Tide! P.s.s. Not saying you or anyone else doesn't clean their weapons enough. Just that I've only operated mine clean.

I'm glad yours is working great and you and the wife both like it! That's really important. I'm curious what the date on yours is. Mine also gave no hints of failures up until this video. It was around the 700 round mark when this happened, which is why I personally decided not to carry it until I got it to at least 1K. And I'm the same way, I always clean my guns after every range trip. I didn't think you were implying that I didn't clean my guns enough, but I appreciate the clarification.

I have the Sig 365 XL for the past two years and my round count is over 8,000 rounds with no miss fire or jam. With that being said I had the trigger spring breakage two time with both times with approximately 4,000 rounds each time. I’m now very proactive with replacing the trigger spring around 3,000 rounds in and with no issue. I do rotate the sig with my SW 9 shield plus pro performance. My SW again has around 8,000-9,000 rounds with zero malfunction. Love both weapons but I treat the sig trigger spring like the battery in my optics…I change both yearly. My practice ammo is Blazer FMJ 115-124 grain. Let me know if anyone else has issues with the trigger spring!

[@ClaudioLessa1955]

I bought a Sig 365 three weeks ago (July 2024). I only touched it when I took the course at the dealer (to familiarize myself with the gun and learn the basics of shooting). Inside the gray plastic box (just like yours), came the gun and three 12-round magazines. At the familiarization class, the gun jammed exactly like you showed in your video after less than 20 shots. The policeman teaching the class managed to remove the bullet and told me my gun needed lubrication. When I got home, I sprayed the lubricant I bought at the shop, removed the excess and a week later went back to the range to try it out for the second time. It did not jam again, but one interesting thing happened: one bullet "refused" to fire. I removed it from the chamber a couple of times and put it back in the magazine, but for some reason it would not fire. It would stay in the chamber and I had to take it off. It is the very first time I use guns, and I must say I am a little disappointed with this SIG 365, after being told by a few acquaintances that this guns is the best in its class. I was going to go for a Glock of the same size, but ended up getting the SIG 365. For me, the jury is still out on this gun.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm really sorry to hear that this was your first experience. Unfortunately, every type of gun can have problems. I made this video to show my experiences with this particular one and to point out that I've had more problems with this gun than any other gun in its class. Yours could end up being completely fine or could be a lemon. As for the round that would not fire, I would completely blame that on the ammo and not the gun. Again, things happen with ammo just like with guns or any other manufactured thing. At the end of the day, your comfort and confidence in what you carry is the deciding factor. If you're not confident or comfortable, then try something else. I've heard a lot of praise of this gun, but I've also heard a lot of criticism and I've experienced several issues myself that I've documented in multiple videos. Please continue down this path of owning, using, and carrying guns and find whatever works best for you. Thank you for joining the gun owning community and thank you for your comment. If I can be of help in any way going forward, I'm happy to do so.

had two 365 failure to extract same way after shooting steel case magtech. Both guns had a few thousand rounds through them, on the range, but one was my carry gun. When failure started it progressed to failing with good brass. part of issue is weak design, but also battering out the stuck cartridge since they would expand and not easy to extract. not happy with Sig dancing around the issue after calling support. I finally change both extractors and back to a perfect gun. I never had a failure to extract on any of my 365, i own 5 and have shot nearly 10,000 rounds between all and no issue until this .

[@SataraMoss]

I just recently purchased the new Rainbow P365 380 and went to the firing range to shoot off 300 rounds. The first 10 shots....well lets just say it didn't make it past the 4th one, I was so disappointed because I spent over $600 for this beauty. I had the salesman come into the room with me to see if there was something I was actually doing wrong and the same thing happened with him, this time it was around the 7th one. He said it was a defected bullet, so he went to get another box to try and it happened again around the 5th shot. So we went through some drills, focused on how I was loading the gun, how I was positioning my hands on the firearm and how I was pulling and releasing the chamber. After a few tries, the next 10 rounds went smoothly but unfortunately, that was short lived. Needless to say, I am very frustrated and I don't want to give up on the P365 because the gun itself is beautiful, the size is perfect for a female to carry. However, you want quality and dependability when you have to use this weapon for protection. Also not, I too just purchased a beautiful leather/suede holster to protect the chamber of this beauty so I hope that with more target practice it would be an opportunity for the "weapon" to redeem itself...the failure to eject is not something you want to experience during a life/death situation.

I'm glad yours is working well for you so far. Mine did great until ~700rds with just 115 ball ammo. I had just heard enough horror stories that I wanted to get past 1000rds before I'd trust it. I hope yours keeps going strong and never has so much as a hiccup.

[@kato5055]

Just picked up new yesterday and had all the problems you mentioned today, not to mention the manual safety is jammed.

[@countryboyguns]

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder why the safety is stuck...mine doesn't have a safety so I can't speak to that at all. I recommend sending it back to Sig for warrantee work. I hope they can get it running perfectly for you.

[@bevzilla8863]

I haven't had any issues but did notice a problem. When loading a mag if those rounds aren't seated all the way at the back of the mag it looks like it would cause a ftf. I'm always careful when loading my mags but it does raise the question if my mag gets jossled around too much could it produce a ftf

[@countryboyguns]

I honestly don't know, and I think that depends on the gun, the mags, and the ammo. I personally check my defensive guns every time I pull them out of the safe. Whether I'm carrying them, bringing them along in a vehicle, or just putting them next to the bed I always check the chamber, any safeties, optics, lights, and mags. Part of my mag check is to slap the back of the mag to make sure all the rounds are as far to the rear as possible to give the gun the best chance of cycling properly. That being said, I've never noticed a failure due to ammo getting jossled a bit forward, and I even have some guns that will pull rounds forward in the mag as they're cycling and they still run fine even then.

[@snowman03gt40]

How often u clean/lube the gun? And guns like that aren’t designed to just keep going and going without break. Metal gets hot after awhile

After every range session. And I put less than 100 rounds through it that day before the failure.

[@jamiecollett8840]

Very disappointed in mine. Just bought it YESTERDAY! Born on date 10-27-2020. Very first shot was a stovepipe failure to extract. I was shooting my carry ammo which is underwood extreme defender 90 grain. First 2 mags had 4-5 failures to return to battery! Switched up to American Eagle 115 grain fmj's and ran 2 mags ok. Took it back out this morning and ran 2 mags of 124 grain sig vcrown elite JHP's and again had 4-5 failures to return to battery! Again switched to the AE 115 gr fmj's and ran 2 mags ok. So disappointed that my new $600 gun will not consistently run neither of my carry ammo's. With the ammo situation such as it is I can't, at this time, fire enough ammo through it to "break it in" and test it enough to bet my life on it. My $240 Taurus G2C will remain my EDC for now as I have 2500 flawless rounds through it with ALL types of ammo. Steel, aluminum, brass, reloads, several types of hollow points and the underwood's with ZERO issues. If Taurus can build such a cheap gum that will run any ammo flawlessly OUT OF THE BOX, then WHY CAN'T SIG SAUER? I'm extremely concerned about this gun at this point. It'll just go in my safe until I'm able to get enough ammo to properly test it. 😥

[@countryboyguns]

That's really upsetting to hear, especially with it being a brand new made gun. On top of it, you were actually able to find one during the shortage and paid shortage prices for it. Sig needs to get their ish together with this gun.

[@jamiecollett8840]

@@countryboyguns so I have an update. After running 150 rounds of fmj's through it today with no malfunctions I was able to run 20 rounds each of both of my carry ammo's through it with no issues. May e it's finally "broke in". It still concerns me that it had so many failures to return to battery out of the box. The issue APPEARS to be ironed out now but I still can't trust it as my edc until I am able to run a lot more ammo through it. I want to run 500 more fmj's and 100 more self defense rounds through it with no malfunctions before I start carrying it. Hopefully I can find enough ammo to be able to do that soon.

[@countryboyguns]

@@jamiecollett8840 I'm glad it seems those issues may have been resolved. I agree with your thoughts on running a lot more ammo before you trust it, however. I won't carry mine until I get 1000 issue free rounds through it. That's the standard I set when I bought it. Thank you for keeping us posted, and please continue to do so.

I honestly can't answer that for you. It could be ammo, possibly some debris in the striker channel, or maybe even something else.

@@countryboyguns I’m coming up on about 800 rds i guess. If ammo prices were pre covid I’d prob have several thousand through it.

I also have not experienced any light strikes and i carry mine with 1 itc daily. I did buy a backup striker from sig that is pretty much ready to drop in if there are any malfunctions. I don’t ever want to be without my daily carry pistol. It’s the only thing that makes me feel safe these days. I think mfg date on mine is sep 20 so it’s a little over a year old.

I have seen (and experienced) malfunctions from part of the hand getting in the way of the rearward motion of the slide from the back of the gun however. That's why people with larger hands tend to prefer beavertails on the rear of their handguns. Great question!

[@moose9410]

This why i'm a huge fan of SCCY. Any issues, they send parts fast and free. And if God forbid it blows up on me, i'll just buy another one for $169 brand new lol. So instead of dropping $500 on a headache, i'll take the budget guns and Its been a good gun so far. And i bought a sig p365 back in 2022...hated how it felt in hand, just way way too small.

[@dougspencer4080]

Purchased a 365 XL and love it besides the fact that the magazines are extremely tight I can load them it's not a thing of not being able to load them or whatever it's just they're so tight over time not breaking in and they're marking the casings even n the bottom of the slide when mag is put in the gun. About to reach out to Sig and go from there .

[@countryboyguns]

My mags are pretty tight too. I haven't had any issues getting them to load to capacity or to seat on a closed slide, but I do need to give them a bit of extra umph. Might not be a bad idea to buy another mag before you reach out to them. If it's the same way, then it's probably not warrantee worthy. If the new mag gives you less trouble, then you'll have an extra and hopefully they can help you with the originals.

I just got the NRA P365 dated May 2020 I am sending back mine back due to the finish. I have not even fired it and it’s showing the metal.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm sorry to hear that, Jon. But that's exactly the quality control (or lack thereof) that is plaguing them.

[@jon5886]

Country Boy Guns I agree! But, I love the gun so much that I’m willing to pay the 90 for nitride. I’ll keep updates as what happens and then after shooting it couple k rounds. Sig says it’s gonna be a 6 week turn around so I got a long wait.

[@countryboyguns]

I love the gun too, or at least what it brings to the table if it's completely reliable. Please keep us updated on your gun.

[@jon5886]

Country Boy Guns sure will!

[@Spraypaint81]

I have the same issue ...p365 first gen

[@squidly2112]

Hmm, interesting. I have fired about 5,000 rounds through mine (bone stock) with a variety of ammo, brass, steel, not a single issue other than failure to slide lock on occasion (because of my big hands and my grip, have tested this). Outside of the slide lock problem not a single issue. My wife, daughter and a few friends have also put about another 1,000 rounds combined through my P365 and none of them have ever had a single malfunction with it (including slide lock) yet.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm glad to hear that there are some of these guns that are running well. I've also experienced the slide lock issue on this and several other guns due to my grip. I don't hold that against a gun since the button is doing exactly what it's being told to do, even if I don't realize I'm telling it to. Thank you for the data point and the comment! Please keep us posted on the gun's progress.

[@squidly2112]

@@countryboyguns - Yeah, the slide lock issue is not the fault of the gun for sure .. that's all me 😁 I personally love my P365 and believe it is perhaps the best EDC currently available, at least for a micro sized carry pistol. I have troubles concealing my P320-RXP XCompact except during winter months. I am not really very good at concealing, it's just my body type that makes it a little difficult. The P365 is easy though, it's so small. A larger firearm is definitely much easier to manufacture for reliability, as soon as you get this small it becomes difficult to achieve solid reliability. It's just the way it is. Nothing is perfect, but I believe the P365 is pretty darned good. I dislike some of the people out there that act as though Sig purposefully makes flawed firearms. There isn't a manufacturer on the planet that hasn't had issues with their firearms. Sig seems to address issues rapidly, as they should .. they have a vested interest in doing so. Overall I believe Sig Sauer is a solid and reputable manufacturer and I will continue to buy and use their products for many years to come. I am not wedded to Sig, I own many other firearms, but I use what works best for me as I believe everyone should. I do like many Sig products though. Keep up the great videos !!! .. always great to have good gun videos !!! .. and remember, "Shall Not Be Infringed" !!!

[@countryboyguns]

Thank you for the kind words. And agreed, any manufacturer can have issues. That's why I'm such a proponent of giving them the opportunity to fix your gun if that happens.

[@toolman67]

I have not shot mine a lot, but when I have shot it, there seemed to be no issues that I've noted thus far.

[@calebr1768]

Just bought one has failure to extract almost every round

[@countryboyguns]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Was it brand new? I get so many comments about this gun being unreliable and it bothers me that the problems still exist after the gun has been on the market for so long.

[@calebr1768]

@@countryboyguns yes factory new out of the box gave it a good clean after the first session and I’ll try some different rounds next time and if it persists I’ll have to send it back

[@countryboyguns]

Mine has been back to the factory twice already. I have a whole playlist on this gun if you're interested in the saga. Lots of those videos have comments from viewers who had a litany of problems with their guns.

[@jacobseraphin685]

I know sig had a recall on some guns especially the p320, do you know if they recalled the p365

[@countryboyguns]

There was a recall of the very first gen if I recall correctly. Not sure about other iterations.

[@slime.poo6168]

I just bought mine, first day on the range I was having this problem

[@countryboyguns]

I'm sorry to hear that. I am, however, glad to know from this and other comments like it that this is a systemic problem with this gun.

[@centermass4962]

Iv got the 365 and the 365xl. Had no problems with either one.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm glad yours have worked well. I'm really hoping that's our experience going forward with both my 365 and my wife's XL.

[@joshstepp4845]

Im sending my P365 back to Sig, no problems with my Hellcat.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm glad to hear your Hellcat is working great! A friend of mine just got one, and I'm really interested in getting one as well.

[@Eddie87Grant]

It looks like we’re in the same boat. My sig is not working properly but my hellcat is performing without a hitch.

[@jondill6024]

what would you prefer over this one? I was literally considering picking this up as my first handgun purchase.

[@countryboyguns]

There are so many good guns out there. I'm assuming you want it for concealed carry? If you want a handgun for home defense, range fun, to keep in the vehicle, etc, I'd recommend a more full size handgun. For concealed carry, I can recommend the Sig P365XL, S&W Shield, Springfield XDs, and Glock 43 from experience. I would also feel comfortable with a Glock 43x or 48, Springfield Hellcat, or FN 503. I don't have any personal experience with any of those guns, so I can only say that I think they're good options based on what I know and what people I trust are saying about them. There are even other options as well, and this is all just staying in the same genre as the P365 if that's the kind of gun you're looking for. Great question. Thank you for the comment and for asking my opinion on the subject!

[@jondill6024]

@@countryboyguns hey thanks for the reply. These are some great suggestions and I'm going to look into each one. I'm trying to adhere to Hawaii's very strict gun laws. "High Round Capacity Magazines" are illegal here so I need something that can hold 10 or less. I'm going to keep doing my research before I finally pull the trigger. Thanks again for a very informative video

[@countryboyguns]

Glad to help man. I didn't realize you had those kinds of restrictions to deal with. That sucks.

[@deucedeuce1572]

I'd recommend PF9SS, SS80, "MUP 1" or "MUP 247". Then you don't have to worry about your democrat slave owners (masters) or enforcing unjust "laws" that have non legal power or authority on yourself. (Of course, the bigger options are good too PF940 V2, PF940C, PF940SC, PF45, HMC9, GST-9 and the Strike 80.)

[@Snek03]

i have had so many issues with my P365XL and I’m only about 150 rounds in. Mostly notably failure to feed from the magazine with 3-5 hollow point rounds left.The 12 round magazines fail to fully seat all the time with one good hard tap, making me paranoid and have to check it’s seated with two or three taps and sometimes a pull. It’s also very inaccurate for some reason. The Glock 43X is SO much more accurate when I shoot it. I hate the presentation angle, and I hate the flat trigger. It’s a beautiful thing, but that’s where it ends. What good are 12 round mags if you can only shoot 7 bullets? I never should have cheated on Glock.

[@countryboyguns]

I'm so sorry to hear you've had these issues. I'm starting to think that the only thing the 365 brought to the table was the motivation it gave other companies to make small guns that carry more rounds. I recommend contacting Sig about your gun or, if you'd prefer, you could probably sell it easily in today's market.

[@Snek03]

@@countryboyguns Thanks. Yes, I’m debating both selling and giving Sig a call. If it wasn’t for the fact I’ve spent so much money on holsters, mags, and attachments I’d just sell it. So I’m inclined to see what can be done about it first. Can you recommend an online place for selling it or would you just sell locally?

[@countryboyguns]

Honestly, I've never sold a gun in my life, so I can't make any recommendations on that. I would definitely give Sig a call first so at the very least if you do end up selling it you know you've given the manufacturer the chance to make it right and you're not just pawning the problem off on someone else. That's just my opinion though, and it's worth exactly what you paid for it.

[@MrGhostface213]

Does it shoot hallow points ?

[@countryboyguns]

I've tested 10 through it in another video and they worked fine...but that was after 2 trips back to the factory.
