Sounds like the potential for an excellent pistol. I prefer 9mm, but usually thats for the superior platforms vs. straight blowback which are typical .380s.

The only recent blowback .380 on the market was RIA Baby Rock. And before that Grand Power ROXOR. Well, Walther made repro PPK/S in the U.S, too. Everything else has a locked breech all the way back into 2000s: KelTec P-3AT, Ruger LCP/LCP II, clones of Mustang (P238, 911), S&W 380EZ, SCCY CPX-3, etc etc. If we aren't looking at PPK, nobody makes blowback .380 anymore, unless they are a very minor manufacturer in a small country nobody heard about.
The North American Arms Guardian .380 is straight blowback. About 18 years ago, it was one of the best pocket pistols available. However, I completely stopped carrying mine after shooting it side by side with my Kel-Tec P3AT.
I cannot imagine that anyone in their right mind would design a straight blowback .380 today, but we will have to wait for more details on the new Sig.

Heh. I wonder if this means H und K will re-re-release a gas-delayed blowback pistol with a polymer frame in .380....
(It'd be surely more refined and better-made than the Walther CCP, but we will still suck, and they will still hate us.)
I like all the new choices, to be honest. Looking forward to seeing what this one does differently than the 9mm 365.

yeah, I have made a number of '.380 UltraMax' reloads over the years when some .380 brass made it through the 9mm bucket into the 650.
Worst jam that I had with the press lately was a .32 acp inside a .38 spl that got the whole mess well stuck in a sizing die.
We had some .38 simunitions brass of some sort get mixed in with one bucket of brass; longer than .38 short colt, shorter than .38 long colt. Really confused us until we found a couple live rounds further down in the bucket.
If they make this 365 as a locked breach .380 it should sell well (assuming ammo ever hits the market again). It would be a snappy little beastie in straight blowback.

Guess I don't see the point if it is the same size and holds the same number of rounds.
