![]() My one and only gripe with the gun was that a magazine speed loader wasn’t included. The P365 SAS comes with a hard case, lock, owner’s manual, and SIG window decal. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that a flat Carlson’s universal shotgun choke tube wrench (of which I have several) works perfectly. ![]() Also, a screwdriver or similar tool must be used to rotate the takedown lever for disassembly. Instead, the slide must be pulled back slightly and then quickly released, or “sling-shotted,” to close the slide. The slide catch lever can’t be used to release the slide. There are a couple downsides to the pistol’s controls fitting flush with the frame to maintain that slim, anti-snag profile. With practice, it becomes second nature, and if you do your part, the integrated, bore-level sight will put the bullet on its mark every time. Manhandling the trigger will pull the pistol downward and off target. By evenly squeezing the trigger, the Bullseye FT sight stays on target. While initially heavy, trigger pull breaks about midway. Since the SAS model doesn’t have an external safety mechanism, trigger pull was necessarily a bit stout, averaging 6 pounds, to prevent an accidental firing. The key to shooting accurately, I discovered with practice, was to steadily squeeze the trigger. The SIG didn’t really prefer one type or brand of ammo over the others and shot all of them equally well. Not surprisingly, it was unavailable for testing due to shortages, but would be worth considering once things settle down and availability improves. The line includes both jacketed hollow point defensive rounds and full metal jacket practice rounds. I should point out that SIG offers its own brand of ammo created specifically for use in compact handguns. ![]() There were zero problems with functioning, and despite not cleaning the pistol during testing, accuracy improved the more I shot it. I also ran a few rounds Hornady Critical Defense 115-grain FTX from my meager supply of defensive loads. These loads included Herter’s Brass Case, Remington UMC, and Remington Military/Law training ammo-all 115-grain FMJ. If 10 rounds are not enough, though, SIG also offers both 12- and 15-round magazines as accessories for the P365, including the SAS model, giving this pocket-sized pistol full-sized pistol capacity.īecause 9mm ammo, like virtually all ammo, was in short supply at the time of testing, I was limited to using what I had on hand. ![]() SIG’s modified double-stack magazine design makes this level of firepower possible in such a small pistol. With an additional round in the chamber, that’s a total of 11 rounds of 9mm goodness available in the event of an emergency. The P365 SAS ships with two 10-round magazines-one that seats flush with the frame and one with a pinky extension for a more comfortable grip. If you’ve been searching for a micro-compact pistol that you can actually hit something with, this is the gun for you.Īnother plus is the pistol’s capacity. I found the P365 SAS to be one of the most accurate pistols I’ve ever shot at close-quarter concealed distances. Since the sight sits on the same plane as the bore, the pistol shoots to point of aim. To aim the pistol, simply center the green dot inside the larger green circle, place the dot on the target, and fire. The FT Bullseye sight uses a combination of fiber-optic and tritium (FT) technology to provide illumination during both day- and night-time shooting conditions. The P365 SAS is equipped with a FT Bullseye sight integrated into the rear of the slide. The SAS design eliminates any protrusions that could snag or hang up the pistol during draw. SIG has solved that problem by eliminating the front sight altogether and positioning the rear sight so that it fits flush with the slide. Sights catching on a pocket, shirt, or even a holster are a common issue with concealed carry handguns. Not only are the takedown and slide-catch levers downsized so they fit flush with the slide, so is the rear sight. Anti-snag is actually something of an understatement. Within the P365 lineup, the new P365 SAS is the most concealable model. This micro-compact pistol offers plenty of 9mm firepower in an easily concealed package. The P365 by SIG SAUER has quickly become one of America’s most popular concealed carry handguns. Delivering no-snag, deep-concealment performance, the SIG P365 SAS was built for one mission-straight-up close-quarter engagement in an easy-carry platform
