I'm having a problem with my new Sig P365. The trouble is that the factory magazine with the pinkie extension is falling out of the gun when firing full 10+1 capacity. I've been shooting autoloaders for many years without ever experiencing this in any other gun. Somebody on another forum was asking me if I was putting the magazine into the gun first and then releasing the slide on it, as a suggestion what I might try it that way. However, if you chamber the gun that way then you can't do the full 10+1 capacity. And besides, I can feel the magazine clicking in there firmly..
The 10 round magazine does need to be pushed very hard into the grip to drive it home when there is already a cartridge in the chamber. But I can feel and hear a very distinctive "click" letting me know that the magazine did fully engage and lock into the grip properly. I've had this same problem with the Sig 938 (which was a known problem with the Sig938 and had their service department quite busy.) I've never had this problem with any other tightly loaded guns, and I've owned many. I now carry the Sig365 magazine with the flat plate bottom and don't have this problem as with the pinkie extension.(the extended piece has pressure exerted onto it by your pinkie) I'm puzzled by this Sig problem, as nobody else seems to have reported experiencing it with the Sig 365 except me.
