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.

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.

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.
Thanks, but I am not watching a 28 minute video to get a couple of seconds' worth of highly relevant information.

I own a G2C and really do like it. I did replace the recoil assembly with a stainless version from Lakeline, not because the plastic rod recoil assembly was defective, but that appears to the be the only conceivable weak link of this pistol.
That said, I don't feel the G2C and P365 necessarily share the same niche. From a quick glance side by side, I suppose one could come to that conclusion, when in reality the P365 is so much smaller.
I own both and I can say without a doubt, the G2C is indeed a much larger pistol, especially when focusing on the frame itself.

Walkalong. PM me your address. I have the latest release striker. I replaced it with the overly expensive lightning strike steel one. And I have a spare.
Its yours if you want it for peace of mind.

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.
no, they just modified the existing pin. i'm talking about a completely new design. my opinion, of course.

I would say the trigger is vaguely similar to a Glock, but there is a lot more uptake before resistance is felt, then you hit the ~5 pounds with some gritty stiction then release. Reset is very short, just millimeters.
The reset has a very tactile and audible CLICK, even noticeable through muffs. While I can't stand the mush of Glock triggers (had a G21 for a while) this one is pretty good. I thoroughly enjoy shooting it and easily chews out 2 inches at the 5 yard...exactly what it was designed for.

Like scrap the pistol and start from scratch over a simple redesign of the striker?
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.
Me too, bought it anyway.
Was so intrigued by what I had read about them, liked the way it felt so much, loved the sights, so despite not being able to dry fire it, I bought it.

The Academy where I live has no locks on the pistols, so I am confused......

The only gun store within 50 miles of here has their lever-actions zip-tied shut and giant trigger locks on the triggers of those and all rifles.
I was trying to compare a Henry to a Marlin and couldn't work the action on either one, making seeing them in person basically useless. Stupid.
i don't think that is how the engineers would do it. redesign the striker and slide should do it.
this is a fantastic design and i hope sig gets this right without duct tape and bailing wire. everyone wants to cc this gun and loves the ten round capacity. sig needs to get this right and quit using us as beta testers.

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.

well, sig recut the existing striker and the existing slide. i don't call that a design change. if it works, so be it.
no retort on the "beta testing" comment other than we can go elsewhere with our money.
regardless, sig needs to get this right.

What did they do to the slide?
