Sig Sauer P365 micro compact pistol is a good one now for concealed carry. I had an April 2018 model that had issues and the entire slide group was replaced and I sold it with full disclosure and decided to get another pistol as I had enough frustration with this particular pistol even though the majority of owners experienced what they called flawless performance with their pistols.

Flash forward six months and I decide I wanted to give the dog Sauer P365 another shot. The October 28, 2018 model worked as I had hoped it would and shoots well. It is nice to know that my P365 works and functions as it was meant to and as I had hoped it would.

Ammo that I use that works is America. Eagle 124 grain fmj for the range and Speer gold dot 124 grain jhp +p.

When I first heard of this pistol, it wasn’t even on my radar. My buddy kept talking about it before it was available and planted the seed in my head about getting one. We both got one one same date and his functioned perfect and mine was a lemon.

That was then. This is now. The one I have works great. It is easy to conceal and the smallest of my 9mm carry pistols.

So the thing I suggest is to shoot the ammo that works and quit buying ammo that doesn’t work for the p365. Shoot 124 grain. Shoot your defensive loads and make sure those work as that’s what counts. I don’t understand those p365 owners that insist their pistol shoots every brand and weight of 9mm ammo. Forget about it. Shoot the ammo that works in your pistol.

As for shooting it when at the range, run it wet. You will thank me later when your pistol doesn’t show signs of wear from a thousand rounds going through it. Run it wet because you plan on shooting 100 or more rounds through it. Lube is good. Run it lightly lubed and watch how fast the slide shows sign of wear. I know this because that’s what happened to my first p365 April manufacture date.

When conceal carrying, no need to run it wet. In a worst case scenario I just need for the magazine to function.

Question you need to ask yourself is how many rounds of defensive load do you shoot through it before you are satisfied that is good enough to carry? Also are you one of those shooters that want to shoot it til it fails or just want to know it works and don’t shoot it much more afterwards because it’s your concealed carry and not your range pistol?

Seems to me that a lot of people use it as both. Their concealed carry and range pistol. Why is this? If it were to have a higher probability of failure after 1000 rounds, why not just shoot 500 rounds of defensive ammo and call it good to go?
