From the factory, the P365-380 comes standard with two 10-round magazines, SIGLITE night sights, and an optic cut compatible with the ROMEOZero footprint. This pistol also shares a fire control unit and grip module with the 9mm P365 while featuring a lightened slide and barrel to make it compatible with all existing P365 holsters. Sig&#8217;s slogan for the P365-380 is &#8220;less recoil, more control&#8221; and after burning a few hundred rounds I can say it does exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifications:<br \/>Caliber: 380 Auto<br \/>Sights: SIGLITE Night Sights<br \/>Overall Length: 5.8&#8243;<br \/>Overall Width: 1.0&#8243;<br \/>Height: 4.2&#8243;<br \/>Barrel Length: 3.1&#8243;<br \/>Weight: 15.7 oz<br \/>Trigger Action: Striker<br \/>Barrel Material: Carbon Steel<br \/>Slide Material: Stainless Steel<br \/>FCU Material: Stainless Steel<br \/>Optic Ready: Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, this micro-compact pistol comes with two 10-round magazines. One sits flush with the bottom of the grip, while the other features an extended finger tab which is my preferred choice due to the extra grip length. The capacity of these mags for the size is quite impressive, and 12-round mags are also available to purchase. There are two reasons I have traditionally carried a larger handgun; magazine capacity, and shootability. Sig is paying attention because the P365-380 ranks well in both my categories of shootability and carrying capacity which is probably similar to most people&#8217;s requirements for a carry gun. The mags seem to be nearly identical to the 9mm version but with a shim at the rear of the mag to account for the shorter overall length of the .380 rounds. Throughout my testing, the mags fed well and were easy to hand load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" class=\"wp-image-171780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2121.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Magazine with extension in the pistol, the flush one sitting to the side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The pistol utilizes a metal curved trigger that feels rugged and reliable. When pressing the trigger, there is a soft takeup leading to a well-defined wall. Once at the wall, I measured a trigger pull weight between 4.5-5lbs when pulling from where the center of my trigger finger sits. Pulling from the wall, I also measured there to be about 0.15&#8243; of creep before the trigger actually breaks and a shot is fired. For a factory trigger, this is not bad and feels pretty good. After breaking the shot, there is a fairly short reset which is right back on the wall, allowing the shooter to be ready for the next shot while eliminating excessive finger movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" class=\"wp-image-171781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2116.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wide metal trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining compatibility with all P365 holsters really gives the Sig P365-380 a leg up. There are lots of manufacturers already making holsters for the P365 so consumers have plenty of options, and could even swap out their carry guns while utilizing the same holster if they so desire. For this review, I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/blackpointtactical.com\/shop\/fo3-light-mounted-holster\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Black Point Tactical FO3 light-mounted holster<\/a> to allow me to conceal carry the gun and work on some draws with it. I will say, this micro-compact pistol conceals better and is quite a bit more comfortable than the Glock 19 I have been carrying for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" class=\"wp-image-171782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2110.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blackpointtactical.com\/shop\/fo3-light-mounted-holster\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Black Point Tactical FO3 light-mounted holster<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The grip module and FCU or fire control unit are the same as the 9mm version of the P365. While there are no adjustable backstraps, I find the contours of the grip to fit my hand much better than other micro-compact options of similar size. As with all pistols, I would recommend finding them in person to feel for yourself as hands come in all shapes and sizes. The stippling is not overly aggressive and is more than adequate for this soft shooting gun. While not utilizing a Picatinny rail, the P365-380 does feature the &#8220;Sig Rail&#8221; which accepts Sigs FOXTROT lights, or others such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-7-sub?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Streamlight TLR-7 Sub<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-8-g-sub?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TLR8-G<\/a>. I have found that this frame is not very rigid and running lasers can work, but they will not hold a great zero. When shooting, the Streamlight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-8-g-sub?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TLR8-G<\/a> held pretty steadily on the polymer frame, but I noticed that my grip on the frame would shift the laser. This shifting mainly came from when my fingers were pushing up on the bottom of the trigger guard, but I also saw some shift when adjusting my grip strength. This small plastic frame has some flex to it, but this is no issue for those who only are running a white light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" class=\"wp-image-171783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2109.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thin trigger guard that can flex messing with a laser zero such as the Streamlight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-8-g-sub?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TLR8-G<\/a> as pictured here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring both front and rear slide serrations, the slide is easy to grip and rack.

The slide cut isn&#8217;t milled very deep so the optic blocks the front sight post when aiming, rendering the iron sights ineffective. This is the case with most factory iron sights, however, and taller aftermarket sights could be purchased if so desired. As for the ROMEOZero Elite, it worked great. It had a good range of brightness adjustments, held zero, and did everything I needed it to do. For the price, this seems to be a great option to top off the P365-380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" class=\"wp-image-171792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2126.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Front sight is not visible through the base of the ROMEOZero Elite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming standard with the SIGLITE night sights is a nice touch for this pistol.

Burning hundreds of rounds of ammo, I was surprised at how much smoother shooting it is than a 9mm. This P365-380 ran flat. It was very controllable and easy to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why would someone pick a nearly identical gun chambered in 380 over 9mm? It all comes back to shootability and the end user&#8217;s confidence in their abilities. In terms of pure ballistics, 9mm is always my choice. However, having a gun chambered in a caliber that is soft and controllable may make the difference for some people from either carrying or not carrying. Even for me, I found it quite easy to stay on target when mag dumping on steel silhouettes from 20 yards so the advantage of a softer shooting caliber is real. If you have trouble managing the recoil from 9mm, this is a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/p365-380.html?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sig Sauer P365-380<\/a> is packed with features for the size. It has a great magazine capacity, comes optic-ready, and features night sights. Throughout my testing, I definitely noticed this 380 Auto is more controllable than similar 9mm handguns while significantly reducing the felt recoil. These pistols are currently selling for $499.99 and the ROMEOZero Elite retails for around $200. This P365-380 is a comfortable and easy shooting pistol. After getting a new guide rod spring assembly, the P365-380 ran like a champ. For a smooth shooting ergonomic pistol, the Sig P365-380 is a great option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistol-review-sig-sauer-p365-380\" title=\"Pistol Review: Sig Sauer P365-380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sig&#8217;s slogan for the P365-380 is &#8220;less recoil, more control&#8221; and after burning a few hundred rounds I can say it does exactly that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":171779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,694,859,3381,860],"tags":[3500,132,102,3501,1972,3499],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-171778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-gun-reviews","9":"category-gun-reviews-handguns","10":"category-mitchell-graf","11":"category-semi-autos","12":"tag-380-acp-2","13":"tag-buzz","14":"tag-feature-articles","15":"tag-p365-380","16":"tag-pistol-review","17":"tag-sig-sauer-p365-380"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
