Sig Sauer P365 Pistols

One of the most popular compact models produced by Sig Sauer, its only rival on the smaller sized pistol market comes from Glock. The P365 is chambered in .380 ACP and 9mm only. These cartridges reduce recoil, while maintaining effective energy for personal protection.

The P365 is a relative newcomer, arriving on the market in 2018. It rapidly became a favorite choice for concealed carry and remains one of the world leaders in that category today. The reason is simple, Sig Sauer makes quality handguns that are durable, reliable and easy to maintain.

One of the versions of the P365, the Romeo-X-Sig-Loc Compact was originally designed for the U.S. Military and then optimized into different versions for civilian use. The P365 is a leader in the sub-compact concealed carry market and is renowned for concealability and enhanced magazine capacity. The P365 can pack four more rounds into the same size pistol built by rival Glock.

Sometimes called an “ultra compact” the P365 is small, with a short spectrum of models that circle around 5.8-inches long, 4.3-inches high and with a grip width of only 1.06-inches. A 3.1-inch barrel takes up a little over half of the overall length. It’s small but has a heavier weight in some versions at 22-ounces than rival sub-compact pistols.

Another feature that is often overlooked is the aftermarket availability of customized options. The P365 rode a groundswell of support when it was introduced, and aftermarket producers took note, configuring their products to match it. A trigger set at a slightly heavy six-pound pull, polymer grips, and a stainless-steel slide and frame all lend durability and reliability to the P365.

A 10-round standard magazine in 9mm with larger versions as well, excellent grip texture and with a heavier weight than most sub-compacts make the P365 quick, efficient and a lighter recoil handgun than its rivals. The only drawback is the small size. Shooters with larger hands will have problems wrapping their fingers around the smaller footprint and will have to drape their pinky finger and possibly ring finger below the pistol to grip it.

• 380 Auto Rainbow Titanium – At first glance you’ll think a rainbow trout has materialized into a small, framed handgun.
