After 2000 rounds, P365 failure

I keep looking at the P365 and want one, but then I keep seeing reports of failure and keep waiting. Not as many as when it was introduced, but still enough for me to bide my time. It is an excellent combination of size and capacity and can only hope the bugs get worked out.

I've been doing the same. Maybe there's just no such thing as a free lunch (but hope there is).

Good luck, OP. Keep us posted.

The same answer I received when I emailed Gallaway Precision when ordering recoil springs and guide rods for my Nano. By the way, I also bought the14,16, and 18. I would bet Gallaway will be making them for the 365 sooner than later. Personally I think they are first class springs.
Tom, I would really try a new recoil spring first, even before replacing any other springs. It would be easier to determine which spring is causing the failure by process of elimination. I am betting it is the recoil spring.

I'll have to wait to make it to the range. Hopefully Monday. I wasn't able to find the FP spring without purchasing the entire FP assembly. I'll talk to Sig Monday.

Just curious, where do you get those figures?

From my range log, of course?

Same. I really liked the one I shot, but I’m hesitant.

Late to thread. Op, what was the outcome after testing with new recoil and striker spring??

I hate it when threads end like this!

.....I thought it might be the ammo, since I was shooting Wolf ammo, but my VP9SK, Shield and FNS9C had no malfuncitons with the same ammo. I tried 124 grain HST's in it and had the same problem, so it is the gun...

Considering you’re seeing the same type of fault with the Wolf AND the HST ammo I wouldn't waste any more time before I contacted Sig CS once again to inform one of their Sr. Managers that an EDC gun must be able to successfully cycle Fed HST JHP ammo and I would have no confidence in any EDC that does not feed HST’s.

Did you ever make it to the range?

Yeah I think I will just buy a Taurus g2c. Spend the rest on ammo or mags. The 365 seems like a nope.

I have the pt111 g2 and except for my reloads(not setting the primer good enough it have been great. The size and trigger make it not so accurate but still great enough for a SD pistol.

Considering all round count testing done by consumers on this gun I would consider an alternative.

Yep. The P365 is perfect and all reports of failures are the result of a global conspiracy by Glock. TomJ did NOT have any issues on BOTH of the P365s he bought. He is a mole sent by Glock to disparage the P365. As are the hundreds of other people on every single gun forum who report the same issues.

Don't believe the evidence!

Hundreds? Hyperbole much? My go-to forum for all issues SIG for lo the past fifteen years or so is the SIGForum, and while there were a number of reports early on about mostly minor (and yeah, I know about the "dead trigger" and broken striker issues) problems with the initial production release, if one actually does some research, one might find that the almost always anonymous anecdotal "reports" have diminished dramatically. For the past six months or so, all I've read "on every single gun forum" is mostly glowing commendations of this pistol.

I almost cannot understand why so many people who've never bought a particular gun, nor even fired it, are so quick to post condemnations of a particular gun on the internet, but then there's this human nature thing.

What I truly don't understand is those who righteously proclaim that due to all the internet negativity about a particular gun, they will never buy one (and hey, don't you get it? We don't care!)… Sheesh, do any of you guys buy new automobiles or trucks? If you go car shopping the way you say you go gun shopping, I'm guessing your probably don't develop your opinions about vehicles from the internet, right? Oh, and about that last massive Ford F-150 recall? Y'all are still keeping your trucks, right? Did the company do right by you? Or are you getting on the internet and (figuratively) stomping Ford's reputation because they put out a faulty product that endangered you and your family?

My P365s are marvelous guns. I keep track of round count and types of ammo used not because I'm worried about them breaking, but because I do this with all my firearms and I take what I read on the internet with a grain of salt (and stay away from Foxnews, MSN, CNN and Breitbart).

Every purchase is a gamble. It’s that simple. My check engine light comes on. I’m not going to ignore the first trouble free 120,000 miles because of that.

Give the manufacturers a chance to make things right, or don’t.

If folks think every complaint on the internet is legit or representative, that’s pretty naive. Same can be said for folks who think every report of perfect operation are legit or representative.

Role the dice, or don’t. It isn’t about anyone being right.

Sig is a company who used to be the best in the business, got sold and is riding on its name

I’m curious how many modern made Sigs you own or have owned?

....and here I thought they started having problems when they started to build them in the States!
Silly me....

I’ve owned an MPX and have a p938. But I don’t think I have to prove my credentials to make a statement like that. I like the p938, which In a sense is sigs other everyday carry gun. I am a Swiss fanatic, I collect Swiss guns, I like their weird but precise craftsmanship (mostly older guns). With that said, sig has suffered a plethora of issues in the last two decades for what should be considered a premium manufacturer. And these are issues which the only one to blame is company oversight and lack of testing.

Especially a gun being advertised for every day carry, they should have put it through the ringer (maybe they did?). But something changed along the way, maybe they tested guns from one factory and not from the other with different tooling. I don’t know, but I know the end result hurts the consumer, the company, and their reputation.

Ok. Just asked how many. So two.

Yep, two. Never had problems with either. They’re not what I’m basing my opinions off of.

I don’t think it would be fair to say sig isn’t what they used to be based off only the guns I own. Even if I owned 10 sigs. It’s too small a sample size. So I’m going off of what’s in the “gun news” and other reportings.
