Sig P365 - Single Stack 9mm w/10+1 and 12+1

[Steaz]

P365 update. 290 rounds American Eagle 124gr + 50 rounds HST 124gr. No stoppages or issues yet. I shot the last 50 rounds of AE one handed (SHO), no issues, locked back on empty. Two other people fired 10 rounds each of the AE.

Slow fire at 7 yards. Dropped one low


Did a few half tests. Low 90's and 3.8-3.9 seconds each. For reference, yesterday my best Half Test with a VP9SK was 98 in 3.57 seconds. There is certainly more on the table for the P365 in my hands on this test, mid to high 90's in 3.8 or under would just be a matter of shooting it that quickly a little bit more.


Some barrel wear


I did not do any one handed drills (an oversight) but I did shoot the 50 rounds SHO, about as seen below. Almost all shots in the IDPA -0 at 5 yards at that speed with one hand...not bad for a tiny gun I'd say

I can't see the other side to compare but did a chunk come off your barrel?

[Steaz]

There does appear to be some material missing from that spot, yes. There is a smaller but similar occurrence on the other side.

I can't get a better pic than that with my phone

[Steaz]

Well, maybe




Other side

640 (flawless) rounds on the P365 now. 540 American Eagle 124gr, 50 HST 147gr, 50 HST 124gr. About 100 of the (assorted) rounds one hand only. I only have the two 10 round magazines right now. I only shot it past 10 rounds once, doing a 3x5 walk back from 3-13 yards (3 shots per yard line, had two misses high).

I like this gun. It shoots very well for its size and handles these relatively close and fast (self-defense relevant) drills well. Three other shooters put 40 of those rounds through the gun, all are experienced shooters, no function issues for anybody.

The trigger, sights, and grip texture are all good, I wouldn't spend any time or money changing any of those things. The 'extended' (it's still tiny) 10 round mag does shoot better at speed than the flush, I am able to keep my pinky finger on the grip when I use that mag.

A Half Test in 3.82 seconds, score 95/100


Another Half Test, 4.00 seconds, 97/100


A 5 yard roundup of 91, with Federal 147gr HST, all under time, didn't record the numbers. I still suck at weak hand only shooting, and still go too fast, the two shot WHO string was 1.61 seconds from ready (par 2.5x) and at least one of the low shots was WHO (maybe both, don't recall now)

Anyone think this barrel wear on the P365 a designed in thing?

Design it to fit tightly for accuracy, and let it bang itself into it’s final precise location compared to the other moving parts over the first few hundred rounds, maybe?

If you check around the Sig forums/FB groups, it seems that kind of wear is a QC issue of some kind. It's not uncommon to see wear like that and barrel peening, but most seem to have basically no visible wear even at higher round counts.

If that is the case, it’s absolutely absurd. If I’m paying $500 for a firearm, I expect it to be pretty much perfect. Cleary that’s not too much to ask since other manufacturers have no issues doing it.

Either way, I now expect to see that explanation in thier next press release

Yeah, that's the strange thing.. it's not uncommon but most don't seem to have visible anomalies. If you have an insight from reading elsewhere, is this a first run vs later runs QC thing? or does it affect a percentage of the post hiatus units as well?
