That's what put me off. No acknowledgement that things went wrong with early models. No statement about what was changed to fix the problem.
Every gun made after June is fixed; the dates are on the end of the box
Yes, I am; every gun made after June has been fine from all of the ones I have shot and the one I own
You dad has a good eye for guns! If "he likes it on paper" he'll like it even better in his hand. A small number of early 365's had issues just like all mfgs. The problem with early models were bad strikers due to incorrect MIM casting from Sig's source. It's long since been corrected along with a spring issue. Primer marks are a non issue and common with other brands also. It's an internet Fake News story.
I don't think that word ("subjective") means what you think it means. Ammo capacity for a given firearm is totally objective, not subjective at all. IMO, having used both a G43 and Sig 365, the 365 is considerably more accurate and easier to use. Very ergonomic. The ergonomics are subjective though, unlike ammo capacity. I won't be buying one myself, simply because I'm used to carrying a larger pistol and have no reason to go smaller but of the half dozen different single stack mini 9's I've shot, I'd say the 365 is the most comfortable to shoot.
While I acknowledge Sig has built a well deserved reputation on aluminum framed DA/SA handguns it amazes me that gun guys assume that same quality transfers to the plastic models when the evidence seems it be contrary.
I'm using the word "objective" that is the opposite of "subjective". You're using the word "objective" as in a goal to be attained or something to be desired. It's a homonym. Totally different word than what I was using. Subjective means that the subject is negotiable or a matter of opinion based on the individual's knowledge and experience. Objective means that the subject is non negotiable, a fact and not a matter of opinion. Ammo capacity for a given pistol magazine is objective. Neither of our opinions will change how much ammo a Sig P365 or Glock 43 magazine holds. Now, how important that capacity is, is subjective.
It looks like Glock is getting caught up in the SIG "endless variations and models" thing. Not sure thats a good thing.
I have a 43, and really dont see the point of the "X". Never really saw the point to the 42 or 43 for that matter. The 26 fills that role fine. I carry my 26's, the 43 is probably the next gun in the queue to go. I swore when I got my first 42, that I wasnt going to bother with a 43, as I didnt see the point, but one came up at a price I couldnt turn down, and I ended up with one anyway. I was right in my original thinking.
As far as grip size, the dangling pinkie doesnt dangle at all, it "wraps".Once youre used to it, its natural and feels right, and I find I have better control. No need at all for mag extensions, which as mentioned, tend to pinch the hell out of your hands on reloads, and even shooting.
My main complaint about the 19's is the cramped grip. My pinkie feels all jammed up, and wants to "wrap", but cant. The 26 is actually more comfortable in my hand, and I shoot it just as well as my 17's and 19's, so the wrap really isnt a detriment, and in the case of the 19, an improvement.
As far as Glocks "little" guns go, the 26 has the biggest advantage in its ability to use any of the full size mags, of its big brothers, right up to the "happy sticks". In a pinch, I can hand my wife, or anyone else who might be with me who is unarmed, my back up 26 and pop a 17 reload in it, and they now have a short barreled 17, with a full grip.
And just to give you an idea about the difference in "size" foolishness, my 26 replaced my Seecamp as a backup. I carry the 26 in the same type holster, and in the exact same place, as I did my Seecamp, and the 26 has a spare 17 mag with it in the holster, for its reload.
Ive come to the conclusion that the "now generation" has become the Princess in the old "Princess and the Pea" story. WAY over sensitive as to what size really is when it comes to guns and carrying them. I also think "going small" is a bass ackwards way of choosing a gun to carry. Especially if its going to be your primary gun.
