P365 redesigned striker and True Precision barrels

[@adamrenissance3322]

I just returned from the range performing a similar test but using a stock P365 vs 365XL. The XL averaged 41 FPS more on my reloads. But I compared 10 rounds of Federal's HST 124 from each gun. My chrony, with all of Paul Harrell's caveats, showed an average of 61 FPS difference between barrels. That is the difference 6 tenths of an inch made. Federal's website claims a velocity of 1150 FPS out of a 4 inch barrel. My Chrony showed 1132 FPS out of the 3.7 inch Sig barrel. I'll take that any day.

[@Torqd_Off]

I love that you actually tested the velocity with the increased length… everyone else was just like, “Yeah, it looks cool!!! I’m not paying to look cool. Paying for performance. I’m retired and on a fixed income. It’s called priorities… few things I want. I wanted Magguts but something prevented that… Anyway, Thanx… keep being informative!!!

[@SigGuy]

Thank you very much for the feedback. The increases velocity is the main reason I use threaded barrels. I try to provide as much information / data as I can to hopefully make decisions the viewers make easier. Again thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I really appreciate it.

I have a stock P365. I took it to the range the other day and picked up some spent casings. There is 0 primer drag on it. Each was clean and crisp. I also purchased this a month or so ago. I think production in Jan 2021. So I think they must've fixed it in production.

It made it look fantastic but kinda wish I would have gone with the red dot. But great video brother ✌

[@SigGuy]

Appreciate the compliment sir. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet 365. It’s awesome how the 365 and the 320 are modular. I’m also loving all the companies coming up with mods.

[@Wilders53]

@@SigGuy yes me too I would love to buy me a p320! I guess that will be my next birthday present LOL. I love my p365 so much I left work today and put another 250 rounds through it and still zero issues! I'm somewhere in the ballpark around 4000 round now

I have both a red dot and the green Lima Laser. Some times you are too close for a red dot.

Thanks. I just ordered a threaded barrel for my p320 compact to see if it can be slightly closer to my full sized p320. Your voice has become familiar to me now.

[@SigGuy]

Merdith Roach haha. Probably giving you nightmares lol. 🤙🏼

[@broot1375]

That stiker drag on older design is pretty severe...i would think that would cause alot of lateral stress on the striker tip potentially causing breakage. I think strikers breaking was actually a pretty big issue in the 365 early days. So im glad they fixed the issue. I have the 365 xl and never had a drag problem which I attributed to the longer slide but im glad to see that they actually fixed the problem with the striker itself. Good video I have nothing negative to say...which is rare for me

Mine doesn’t have the primer drag issue. I bought it about a month ago though. It has about the same as my Glock 43 (technically all striker fired guns have some form of drag). Such an awesome gun

[@SigGuy]

Yup. All new 365s for some time now have the new striker design. Even though drag isn’t a problem Sig made improvements to where it’s barely noticeable. Even with “drag” I really like the 365. I hope you’ll enjoy it just the same.

[@uga83joe]

Sig"s SAS striker assembly leaves zero drag marks as well.

[@SigGuy]

Icy Fan it’s the same as the new one in this video. All strikers going forward in all 365s will use the new beveled design.

Alberto Quintana yes sir.

[@ReversePolarity5]

Have you seen Paul Harrell's data on shooting the P365 with different loads in comparison between 380? He was getting much higher velocity from the Hornady Critical Defense and 124 grain Sig Elite Performance V-Crown. Love your videos.

[@alexysortiz9683]

I read in sigtalk that the real issue with the drag is that the hole in the slide in not aligned properly so it bends the little end of the pin causing it to break, because of that if you send your gun to sig they also change the slide....make sense

[@SigGuy]

That really doesn’t make much sense. If that were true how does simply switching to the new striker eliminate drag? It’s the same slide. 🤔

[@alexysortiz9683]

@@SigGuy thanks for your reply! Maybe being a harder one or being thinner dont rub the sides, who knows...

Got my 365 about 2 months ago (first firearm) and had no idea how to strip it watched ur video had it done in 2 minutes so I want to say thank you being very informative for that! I just picked up the stainless at my local store and it looks beautiful on it glad too see the velocity difference in this video. Is there a mini comp that would pair well or should I just order the one on website? I also have the tlr-6 on it as well would that be a issue at all I imagine not?

[@adqak503]

What ammunition were you using for this evaluation?

[@justindorminey5608]

Hey, did you put any coating on that stainless barrel or is it just the uncoated stainless? Also hows it holding up if there's no coating on it, looks great just concerned that stainless with no dlc or nitride coating will scar up and wear fast, any thoughts after a decent amount of rounds through a non coated stainless barrel

[@SigGuy]

Justin Dorminey it’s actually holding up better than my factory barrel.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I bought a TP barrel for my Glock 26 9mm gen 5 in 2022. The TiN barrel is easy to clean & so far has no problems, no scuffs, no rust. I clean my Glock with CLPs like Clenzoil or Slip 2000 EWL.

[@richieaustin1604]

How many rounds were through that True Precision barrel? I tried a new one threaded and it was the exact same FPS as my factory shorter barrel with 147gr.

[@adventurfly879]

You CAN get a match grade p365 barrel. I have one. It didn't help. It is a 3.1 inch barrel...... Edit: so will hollow points be below expansion threshold with those velocities?

[@rayhouthuysen9289]

I ordered a striker and ended up having to return it. My 365 has a MAY 2018 built date and apparently, the slide was redesigned.

[@SigGuy]

Correct. My first 365 was from the same timeframe. When it was sent in because of the trigger bar spring they installed the new striker and modified the slide for it. I believe they just drilled out the bottom of the striker cavity giving it a new angle.

[@WeaponsofHisLight]

They have nice barrels problem is you can’t see photos of each coating

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

My gold type TiN Glock 26 9x19mm barrel is fine. I bought it Dec 2022. I shot around 1200 factory 9mm in it. No streak, scuffs, wear.

[@maxrkmrose]

After plugging and chugging the data, one significant takeaway here is that the longer barrel shot more consistently than the shorter barrel and with higher velocity of course. It appears that you used a mixture of manufacturer's casings in this testing. Do you think that explains the occasional low velocity shots for either barrel length or was that a factor of your reloading such as measuring consistency for load, resizing, post crimping, etc.?

[@SigGuy]

I never use steel or aluminum cases with any of my reloads. All brass.

[@frankcastle4435]

Is the new striker just for the XL 365 or will it work in the regular 365 ?

All strikers are the same part. Fits all 365s. 😊

Mine was born in January 2019 and it still has issues. Primer drag, FTEs every other mag, and the back plate falls xausing failures to go into battery.

Taylor Ballard primer drag is not a problem. Cycling failures as usually shooter induced. Don’t ride the slide and have a firm grip. The striker housing was redesigned to correct the backplate issue some experienced.

[@taylorballard9422]

@@SigGuy thanks for the feedback but I know how to shoot my gun. Its a quality control issue. Many have the same problems. Sig has redesigned the p365 slide for a reason. Not only did they redesign the striker but they did the extractor as well.

Dean Davis the drag is no worthy at all. It’s actually very common in smaller guns and even some full-size guns. Buy with confidence. Any 365 should come with the new design striker now.

[@marksd5650]

I’ve read this a number of times: “The telltale firing pin "wipe" is present on the primer fired in the SIG-Sauer. This is typical and to be expected. The SIG-Sauer pistols purposely have a bit slower firing pin retraction to help thwart debris from entering the firing pin channel.” I don’t know if that’s true or not

[@SigGuy]

Mark S Delaney I believe the drag has more to with how extremely fast the barrel starts to drop once it unlocks. If you have a 365 just slowly move the slide forward and you can see the barrel immediately drops. You can compare it to other pistols and you noticed that the barrel does not drop until the slide is quite a bit more forward than the 365.

[@marksd5650]

Sig Sauer Guy Yes, just did what you suggested and I see what you mean. You’ve been a great resource for me. Was cleaning my 365 today and the slide lock fell off my FCU. I went through your videos to find the fix. Waiting for my A.C. p320 trigger to ship.
