That'll do, Sig, that'll do - 02/16/20
Had the Sig P365 Standard out to the range this morning. I'd moved the rear sight left about .02" - which takes soaking for hours in Liquid Wrench, a really BFH and your choicest cuss words - to correct it's firing to the right for me and wanted to see if I got it centered. It shoots low with the S&B 115 FMJ I use for practice ammo but my carry ammo is Speer 124 GDHP so I also wanted to see if that would shoot higher.
From the pic below it looks like everything is where it should be. That's slow aimed fire offhand at 7 yards, 10 rounds total, five using the 10 round mag with pinky extension and five more from the extended 12 rounder.
I am very pleased with this little P365. The trigger is excellent, shorter than a Glock (and I've come to like Glocks so not knocking them) and obviously even with the little 3" barrel it has the mechanical accuracy. The biggest con is that it's hard to hold onto. You really have to squeeze that grip hard and even then it wants to move around on you. But if you do, it puts the rounds where you want them. That 2nd pic is three 10 shot strings rapid fire at 7 yards. Not Jerry Miculek rapid, but 10 shots in 5 seconds. The big green dot on the front sight is a great aid in re-acquiring it. Seeing how well that colored front sight helps is what convinced me to get AmeriGlo sights on a G19 I bought today.
Trying to get serious about concealed carry lately, up to now it's been sort of haphazard with a Kahr CW9 carried with a Clip Draw and 95% of the time it's just an LCP .380 carried in the front pants pocket. Being objective I'd say this Sig is at the low end of a real fighting pistol but given some practice it would work, I'd not feel undergunned with it; 10+1 or 12+1 and the accuracy and shootability to take care of things out a ways. Got a Glock G19 today and that will be the main carry gun whenever possible but when I need the extra concealment this Sig will definitely do.
P.S. going to get a Hogue Handall for this to see if that helps with the grip. It's only $10.95 on Amazon so if I don't like it I'm not out much.
Checking POI with Speer 124 gr. GDHP. 7 yards, slow aimed fire, aiming point was the center of the X which used to be there.
Three 10 shot strings at 7 yards sort'a rapid fire, 10 shots in about 5 seconds. Trying to see how fast I can shoot it without having to readjust my grip. This is with the S&B 115 FMJ which shoots lower than the Speer ammo in this pistol.
