Thread: New 365 looks like! P365x macro

Most of our 365 pistols are pretty low round count, excepting two Macros I have shot a lot (which were not this one).

    Unlike 320 FCU's that we use in competition guns, our practice has been to leave 365 modules completely stock, since these are carry guns. My wife and I decided we want to send this back to Sig, rather than try to fix it, like we would with a 320. First time we have had a 365 fail.
    PS:66F7 are the first four numbers of the FCU if that helps with the date of manufacture.

    Initially, I thought I might have a broken striker. I then switched slides with my carry gun, and it still wouldn't fire. I switched to the lower from my carry gun, and everything functioned properly.

    Back at home, the Wheeler gauge said the trigger pull was now two pounds lighter. After removing the FCU, we can see part 29 is broken, and I believe not depressing the firing pin block. Will call Sig in the morning.

    Have had this happen where a new fcu came in from a ffl missing that part. If that part breaks or was not reinstalled properly this will happen

    A new part 29 installed properly fixed my issue

    I feel similarly on a 365 FCU, I wanted to swap out a curved trigger to a straight , considered just doing it myself but opted to stop at the Sig store in Exeter, it cost me about $65 installed while I waited, right around what the trigger with shipping would have cost, which was less than than our seafood lunch but it made for a enjoyable mid day drive. I've got one curved trigger left in a standard size WC module that I think will be changed to a straight as well.

    Well. If nothing else it tells you that the firing pin safety spring contributes about 2# to the trigger. Not surprising I guess, people have been polishing and rounding off those parts in Glock or M&P trigger jobs for awhile. Probably conntributes significantly to the vaguely LEM-ish "wall" in the 365 trigger.

    You could probably go a long way toward improving that by just modifying slide parts and leaving the FCU stock (once its fixed). Which kind of brings to mind that... I know... these triggers are light and not at all heavy, but has anyone used a service like Gray Guns that does a PTFE coating after normal action work? Would it soften the "wall" in the action similar to lighter FPB springs in a LEM HK?

    I know I wouldn't want the trigger to be any lighter for a carry gun. But that vague two-stagey wall is about as annoying as a stock V2 LEM to me.

    It reminds me of like a Gen 5 Glock trigger or many modified Glock triggers, where you have take up, soft wall, and then a rolling double action esque break of decent distance. I personally like Glock triggers, but they aren’t no glass rod break single action or firm wall/ short clean break.

    What’s the point of the safety compromise of a single action striker trigger if the pull is gonna feel like a decent Glock trigger anyway?

    Spoke to Sig and they wanted the whole pistol back. My FCU serial number, per them, corresponded to a recently purchased TacOps Macro -- meaning relatively recent manufacture and 500 or less rounds.

    A friend of mine just bought (or ordered), a new polymer, Icarus macro grip module. I wasn't aware of their polymer offerings, what is the word on these?

    Be interested in your curved trigger if you plan to sell it.
