Gosh, addressing the OP's questions by providing a YouTube video? How helpful.
Here's an even more recent YouTube video -- 11,000 rounds fired "You're wrong about the P-365."
Cuts both ways. It's the freakin' internet, after all.
Buy your own, use it, and then answer the questions, because the internet will support any side of any issue you can dream up
i think this problem is a basic design flaw and will only be fixed by a new design of the firing pin. no sense in being afraid of a gun breaking. que' sera sera!!I am going to try to break my P-365 again today. I wish it would break, so I could send it to Sig and get the new striker installed. I wonder if they will ugrade the older ones for free even if they are not broken?
Anyway, I think I will run another couple hundred rounds through it again today. Do some up close drills. Bang, bang, click.

wyo, it should say in the vid.

Taurus is beating them in that gun niche with the G2C...
must not be that important.Thanks, but I am not watching a 28 minute video to get a couple of seconds' worth of highly relevant information.
Well that bites.On another forum, an owner of a P365 with the original striker reported that he had to return his pistol to SIG for a problem unrelated to the striker. He asked if they would install the redesigned striker and said they refused to do so and would only do so if it failed.
Which is what they did.i think this problem is a basic design flaw and will only be fixed by a new design of the firing pin.
no, they just modified the existing pin. i'm talking about a completely new design. my opinion, of course.Which is what they did.
Like scrap the pistol and start from scratch over a simple redesign of the striker?no, they just modified the existing pin. i'm talking about a completely new design. my opinion, of course.

I guess I got lucky. I went to Academy Sports to look at a P365. The associate wouldn’t let me try the trigger so I put it down and walked out. I would have bought it had the trigger been good. I’ll have to stick with my G43 and G26 for now.
Me too, bought it anyway.I was told it was against Academy policy so
The Academy where I live has no locks on the pistols, so I am confused......I had exactly the same experience at my local Academy a couple of weeks ago when they had the P365 for $499.99. Having larger hands, I was concerned that the trigger reach might be so short as to create difficulty for me. I didn't even want to dry fire it, just have the trigger guard lock removed so I could judge better the trigger reach. I was told it was against Academy policy so I set it down and walked away. Guess I will not be buying a P365 or any other pistol from Academy in the future.

i don't think that is how the engineers would do it. redesign the striker and slide should do it.Like scrap the pistol and start from scratch over a simple redesign of the striker?
well, sig recut the existing striker and the existing slide. i don't call that a design change. if it works, so be it.The have redesigned the striker, not sure a new slide design is needed to do that, and I don't mind beta testing so much. Yes, it would be nice if manufacturers would test everything until it is perfect and never have issues, but it isn't the world we live in, and we pay for all that testing in the long run anyway.
Beta testing a new product was a choice, it wasn't forced on me. I did the same thing with a three digit serial number EMP, had issues, and SA made it right. That's a great gun as well. With the EMP it wasn't a design flaw, it was just poor quality control, another thing manufacturers let customers do too much of.
What did they do to the slide?and the existing slide
