SIG has released a new version of their ultra-popular P365 subcompact pistol. The new P385-380 is chambered in .380 ACP. At first I thought that was odd, but I then I realized it’s the same thing that Ruger did with their LC9 and LC380 pistols. You’re dropping power level going from 9mm to .380, but the tradeoff is a gun that’s easier to shoot, easier to rack the slide, and that has a ready-made set of accessories on regard to holsters sights etc. that are already available for the 9mm P365s.
So if you, a friend, or family member have trouble racking the slide on compact 9mm’s and might be a little recoil shy this might be a great choice. Especially when you consider the capacity and compact size of the P365. It was pretty much .380 sized already in its 9mm form so it’s far from a big gun.
Check out SIG’s release and some tasty pics of the P365-380:
The P365-380 offers all the same features as America’s #1 selling micro-compact pistol, now in the softer shooting 380 caliber, resulting in easier handling and less felt recoil.
The long-awaited P365 chambered in 380 uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the popular 9mm version with a lightened slide and barrel making it completely compatible with all existing P365 holsters.
Rigorously tested at SIG SAUER, the P365-380 was designed for all shooters, especially those with smaller hands and those who find the manipulation and recoil management of 9mm caliber pistols challenging.
