Sig 365/380

[Zogman]

Thought I made the right purchase. Of course I haven't been to the range yet and shot it but I did load up the clips. The clips are extremely hard to load. There is a so called loader that came with the gun but that does not help that much. In fact I only loaded 8 rounds in a 10 shot clip. NOT HAPPY!

This is from the Sig site. It is for a 9MM. Possibly work for 380????

My sig p 365 380 was so hard to load I ended up selling it for that very reason. Other than that it was a sweet lil carry piece.

I just bought a Sig P322 with 20 rounds mags. The first 18 go in decent but the last to are a MFer

 

[Wall-eyes]

I had several Sigs same problem not sure why, got rid of them too, liking the Canik really well not made in America I know. I have many from way back in the day that are oh well.

I have this issue with most brands. They get better over time

 

[cooter00]

So is it for sale?

 

[Tikka280ai]

I have a hellcat that it a mother to get the last round or 2 in the mags as well. I think it's a pretty common "problem" with any of the high capacity compact handguns

 

[Zogman]

Not a the present. But you will be the first to know.

I did a live chat with a person at Sig today. Very pleasant but did not appease me. I ordered one of their speed loaders. She did agree to bring this to the attention of the engineer in charge of design.

I think it’s a maybe a necessary evil for assuring positive feed.

Maglula magazine loaders are good ones, they make one for the 380

 

[AR-15]

you can also get single and double stack loaders on Amazon, I have the simple ones maybe around $15.00

Yes. That is what she emphasized.

I bought a couple 33 rounders for my Glock 19 and only load 30. I mean if I can't hit with 30 I am taking my ball and bat and going home, LB

I second the Maglula. To many thousands of rounds loaded and my right thumb is to the point of needing surgery. I put it off because you loose 50% or more grip power. I need grip when I load the new 10mm hot with 200 gr hard cast.
As for the Sig P365 Zogman you will not find a better trigger, and a good trigger makes a good shooter.

Strongly agree about the trigger. One gun shop in AZ had a lot of very knowledgeable sales persons that let me handle a few models I was interested in. Including dry firing. I also really liked the sights on the Sig.

During moments of lucid thought I've pondered the idea of marketing mags 1/2 rds under actual cap. Then again this may invite a lawsuit.

Fresh mag springs are supposed to be stiff. That's a good thing.

Get some 15 round mags. They extend the grip and you can load 10 rounds without fully compressing the spring.

Ask yourself why you want the 10 round mag to be full. In the event you end up needing that 10th round from a mag that's been sitting full in the nightstand for 5 years you'll be damn glad that spring was stiff.

Recovery from bear spray is a bit exaggerated. She experiences no feeding problems:

Bringing this back!!!

In AZ this winter. There is a great range south of Kingman and the brother in-law is a member.
I pay a daily fee. Anyway I have put close to 300 rounds through my 380 Sig 365. I now LOVE the gun. It functions great and I am shooting it very well for a 77 year old.
Moral of my story. Have some patience and practice, practice, practice.
