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.

Wouldn’t a blow back 365 recoil more than a 9mm 365?Originally Posted by Zincwarrior
Maybe the 365 in .380 is designed for countries where 9mm is considered a military cartridge and outlawed?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

A G25 is softer shooting than a G19 so maybe it will be easier shooting too.

Yes exactly. Blowbacks typically have a felt recoil pulse substantially greater than locked/tilt or locked rotating breeches. I am assuming the .380 version of the 365 is locked breech as well.Wouldn’t a blow back 365 recoil more than a 9mm 365?

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.
I have a bucket of 'em.
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.As a 9mm reloader, I truly despise .380
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.
