Thread: Did anyone use a rubber hammer on the P365 to see if that would kill the trigger?

  1. #1

    Did anyone use a rubber hammer on the P365 to see if that would kill the trigger?

    I'm into my annual quest to investigate a P365 or a P365-380, but I can't find anything about the trigger dying by drop or rubber hammer. If there were such an investigation - link, please?

    Well, a couple of years ago, I was trying to separate some old furniture joints with a rubber hammer, hit my thumb, and came very close to using my P365 on the hammer - - - if going in that direction counts.

    I have a couple of P365s from when they first came on the market. Have a bunch of rounds through them (no idea count) and haven't had any problems.

    I have read of enough reliability issues with the .380 365 model to be concerned about reliability with it. Between my wife and I, we have at least a dozen 365 family pistols, and have not experienced any reliability or durability issues. The combination of a 365 and 365 TacOps Macro is a 99 percent solution for most (non gamer) users.

    Thanks. I read the LuckyGunner piece and thought using the Hydro Shock Deep might get the slide moving faster, but I imagine other folks have tried that and still have some trouble?

    My SO isn't recoil-sensitive, but she's unable to to rack most slides, even with proper technique. We're also considering the Shield EZ, but I thought to try for the P365 first.

    I've found the FN Reflex to be unhindered from the EZ's major shortcomings, and copies the design philosophy.

    Sometimes a longer slide like a G17 is easier due to full grip

    My friend got his wife a 357 LCR (heavier than 38) and she carries WC’s. (About the same size and weight as P365) She had the same racking issue with a semi.

    What are the problems with the .380s?

    What issues did you see with the EZ Shield?
