However the addition of a rail wouldn't keep me from buying this Sig if I happen to like it's size, feel, sights and trigger, I just wouldn't use it.

Yep, me either. I would like to handle one and try the trigger.

I said similar in size and capacity.

If it's a double stack as it seems than it looks like it would fit somewhere between a single stack and double stack sub compact.

Doesn't really look like anything that innovative to me. Just has the Sig logo on it.

WOW!
 
I'm interested in this. A slim, high capacity for its size edc pistol with a 320 trigger? Yes, please.
 
I just don't understand how they fit 10+1 in a platform the size of as my Walther PPS M2? Looking at my Walther PPS M2 with 7+1 with extended mags, and it has slightly more height length than the Sig 365. There isn't much wasted space on these subcompacts, hopefully someone here buys one and does a picture comparison between it and a few other subcompacts. I don't need another subcompact, as I love my Walther PPS M2 but this has me impressed that they can fit 3 additional rounds in the same size package.
 
According to the YouTube video I watched the mag is a blend of double stack and single stack.

It just baffles me they can fit any semblance of a double stack in an overall width of 1", looking at my magazines it just doesn't seem like there's room. Obviously, there is because they did it, just wonderment here speaking.

It definitely has me interested, not at this time, but down the road. Being able to carry an additional 3 rounds in the same size package is intriguing to say the least.

You would need innovative follower design on the magazine to make that work well.

I'm very excited to see this. It looks like it is about the same size as a Shield or Glock 43 with a substantial capacity increase. Honestly, it's also a clean and attractive-looking gun, too. I wish the barrel was 3.5" instead of 3", but I wouldn't let that stop me.

This is not a G19 killer... but it could be a G26 killer. The G26 is just so fat for its height and capacity.
 
They just slimmed down the inside of the mag well and maximized the interior of the mag I guess.

Mag capacity and how it goes from double to single stack at 3:53.



On that particular show they refer to it as a "Stack and a half".
 
I read this article where the testers stated that "with at least one round in every magazine...the pistol failed to completely go in to battery." But as the review goes on, after stripping the pistol of it's factory lubricant, and applying SLIP 2000 the next day the problems went away. But the SIG employees couldn't tell them what factory lubricant was used.

Quote from article linked above: said:
But Does It Shoot?
Over the course of two days, I was able to fire about 1000 rounds through the pistol. On the first day, we fired outdoors, at SIG Academy’s famous Area 51. When they had initially planned on holding the event, the weather was much milder. However, on that day, conditions were extremely cold. At one point, I checked the app on my phone and it said that it felt like 8 degrees.

Although it was cold, the pistol was comfortable to shoot. One of the things that has always bothered me about compact pistols is that I don’t feel like I’m getting a proper grip. One of the things SIG has done with the P365 is that it has a more pronounced trigger undercut bringing the grip higher and offering more contact with the pistol. Even though it’s not as concealable, the 12 round magazine allowed a full grip for me, especially with gloves on, while the 10 round flush magazine felt like my pinky finger didn’t quite get full purchase. I like the third option, the 10 round extended magazine, a great compromise between grip, concealability and capacity.

Unfortunately, with at least one round in every magazine on that first day, the pistol failed to completely go into battery. Initially, SIG employees told me I was limp wristing the pistol. As I was wearing gloves and it was very cold, I figured we’d see if that was actually the problem once we were inside on the second day. However, it turned out that all of the press, and a couple of SIG personnel shooting the pistol that day, experienced the same issue.

I really appreciated the front and rear slide serrations as I was wearing gloves and worked out how to best manipulate the slide while loading the pistol and reducing malfunctions.

That evening, they cleaned the weapons, stripped the lubricant and replaced it with Slip 2000. Although I asked which lubricant was used on that first day, oddly, no one seemed to know what was used.

(Removed some non-pertinent comments here)

The failure to go into battery issues went away. In fact, I had zero malfunctions and I fired three times as many rounds in the second day as the first. Based on this, I’d say that the lubricant used the first day was not appropriate for the environment. It’s an important issue which few consider until they are in that situation.

Looks interesting to me.
A glock 43 with more capacity.
My buddy has a 43 that I have shot a few times. We both have upgraded triggers on the rest of our glocks. We have done some work on the 43 and can’t get it as good as the rest of the glocks.
I’m betting the p365 has a better trigger with more capacity.
With night sights, should come out only a little more $ than the g43
 
I'm interested. The Shield also has a "not quite single stack" magazine design, which they certainly could have made wider if they wanted to.

If the 365 is no larger than a Kahr PM9 (which I don't know) but holds 10 in the mag, it'll be a winner for sure. Even if it's the size of a G43 with 10 round capacity it'll be a winner. The G43 is too large for pocket carry IMO but the Kahr isn't. In videos the 365 LOOKS very small.
 
The height doesn't say with magazine inserted in the specs. Not saying that means how its measured but the G26 does say that. There also is not much of an extension on the magazine with the extension. I'm guessing the magazine is longer than the others. Be interesting to see it compared in video to some other guns. On paper it looks like a winner.
 
The more I see this dang on gun the more I want one. I going to try and wait for a couple months before I buy one to see if the price comes down and see if it’s as good as it’s potential. I have plenty of guns I carry and lord knows I don’t need another. I’m not even a sub compact or ‘micro compact’ type guy, but this gun has captured my interest.
 
Interesting. It has several advantages over many guns I have looked at, except price. I might be abe to afford a Ruger EC9S, but that one is going to be exterior to my price range.

Local dealer has one for $569 which is nuts. Mags are $50 per SIG.

How is $569 "nuts"? Sounds fairly realistic for a new gun. And BTW, SIG was once selling P290RS for $300 street. It was probably made on the same equipment they're using to crank P365 now. Just give them time.
 
I am not even really a SIG guy, nothing against them, they've just never really been a big interest of mine, but I am definitely excited to see what this pistol has to offer. Looking forward to the reviews, all but Nuttinfancy, cant stand that guy and his "tacticool" lingo.

I read that with some concern, but the article also says they were outside in very cold weather and that he suspects the lubricant was simply not appropriate to the weather.

EDIT: Well, it would be warmer there than it has been here, I guess.

Yup. The 15 year old Keltec P11 has the same capacity, but is 1/4" shorter, 4 ounces lighter and 1/3 the price.

And they kinda suck as well.

A buddy of mine has a P11 that he has roughly 1000 rds through it and he can't get through a single mag without it jamming.

It's been sent back twice and he's bought new mags just in case it was the fault of the mag, problem still exists. I had a similar experience with a P32. Kel-Tec pistols are affordable, but it doesn't seem like they last. I know that's a sample of two, but that's been my experience.

I'm sure in a second someone will get on to tell me that they have a billion rds through theirs with no malfunctions, but unfortunately I can't verify that and this is the Internet.

I'd rather have a Sig than a Kel-Tec.
