I don't own a P365. However, I am reminded of the importance of knowing what could go wrong with field stripping and the ease needed to put a pistol back together. I had an FFL dealer trying so hard to sell me a Kahr. I got the idea to have him show me how it was field stripped and put back together. When I left, the guy still had the Kahr in pieces trying to get it back together.
Yup, that’s why I make these videos. I’d love to get my hand on a Kahr to see if I could do it. Haha. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
I must have an early model P365 and it happened to me. Since still under warranty, I sent it back to Sig Sauer for repair not knowing the problem myself. Willing to bet that when it comes back it will have the up grade. If it gets the upgrade, that should help prevent it from happening again. At least now I know how to over come the problem. Other wise, I am quite happy with the firearm.
Sent my early version 365 back to Sig (twice) to fix a couple known quality control issues, without success. Traded it in for an original Springfield Hellcat and never looked back. Came with the 11 & 13 round mags, bought the 15 round ones later. The little Hellcat is flawless, right out of the box...
Where was this video a few days ago!? I struggled for an hour to get my slide back on. I must’ve just hit the right combo eventually but man, I could use this video👊
Sorry UA-cams algorithm didn’t show you this video sooner. Either way I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day. 👍🏼🤜🤛
Thank you so much for showing this, these were the very two issues I had with my new 365. I kinda figured out the take down lever deal but thought for sure something was broken with the little safety disconnect lever. You covered them perfectly 👍
Got a new one last week. Love the thing so far. Cleaned it after I bought it and the day after I shot it and didn’t notice any of these things, I’ll have to look next time. I’ll be surprised if it rusts as long as it’s wiped down weekly at least since it’s now with me everyday. We’ll see.
Congrats on your new P365. These are things that can happen but easy to fix. As far as the rust, you should be fine as long as you take care of it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
Another issue is the receiver pin, it was coming out while firing the p365 at the range. It’s still a fun gun to shoot. The hellcat has some quality issues too and that’s what makes it hard to choose between these two popular pistols.
The retention springs that hold the receiver pin in may be missing or weak. You might want to reach out to SIG and ask them to replace them for you. Or you could just buy them and replace them yourself. I added a link below that shows you where to get them if you’re interested. Have a great day. alnk.to/2jLGVTG
Brand new P365X user here and UA-cam recommended me your vid. Good info and will save me any future headaches. I have the revised fire control group on my Texas Ranger edition.
Mine rusted like a boat anchor in less than 2 months, and sig wouldn't warranty it. They said none of the parts (front/rear sights, backplate, and slide near the sights) weren't "coated". So, it wasn't covered. I have a p226 that went on 3 deployments with me and I've owned it for over 15 years. No rust. Sig will NEVER get my business again.🎉
Sorry to hear you're having this issue. I've had mine for multiple years and I EDC mine in the summer. Shockingly it still has no rust yet. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
I have an X-Macro and a couple 365LX's one of which was bought in 2019. I had a weird sort of corrosion spot on the first 'LX on the left side of the slide where the P365 engraving was. Pretty sure it was from condensation that I failed to wipe off. Never rusted, but wrecked the nitron finish in that small spot. One of my 17 round mag spares that I carry developed what I thought was a rust spot that came off with some gun lube and steel wool. There's still a slight mark there, but it didn't go down to bare metal. Everyone's body chemistry is different. Maybe your sweat is a bit more corrosive than most, or maybe you got a bad batch. I'm 3 for 3 with no real rust to speak of.
Dip your sidearm in "Prolix" CLP every six months. Very easy carbon fouling clean up with a nylon brush. Water proof your EDC. No Rust or corrosion on any of my 365x macro's after two years and over 5,000 rounds. First 365x Macro Comp 4,000 rounds. 2nd 365X Spectre Comp and ported in my EDC rotation. No Rust. Yes, I was concerned after buying a few new Sigs. Seems like they are to worried about meeting price points rather then building quality. They seem to live on past reputation. Say that, my Sig Sauer 320 X5 10mm shots awesome. After many year in the service it is Sig or FN for me. Never have been sold on Glock. Use Prolix as it also stops rust and won't come back! Our unit was issued Prolix in the Gulf. It is better then MPro. Frog lube,. It is a dry lube for very dusty environments. Get on wet and then drys. Watch the carbon just fall off when soaking. Soak new weapon, wipe dry, apply Prolix "Xtra T" wet lube to outside of barrel and slide points. Shoot. Soak in.Prolix again and watch the carbon fall off!
Wow, thanks for the advice. Every time I clean my P365 I always feel like a monkey doing something terrible to a football - now I know what I'm doing wrong. I spent $50 on an armorers block just so I wouldn't bruise my thumbs working the take down lever. The gun is nice and small, I use it for pocket carry in an Alabama Holster. But , I dread the thought of field dressing the weapon for cleaning. Those two common issues have been a real thorn in my side.
The amount of people who cried "it's not a problem" without reading your previous replies are ridiculous. Appreciate what you do UBR Arsenal, fucking sucks to be a content creator today. Everyone's the 6-year-old expert.
Every handgun with a safety lever will stick up some times preventing you from putting your slide back on, this is not something that only happens to Sigs.
I had a hard time coming up with a title that fit what I was trying to show. I don't think it's necessarily a problem, these are things that can come up that can be an issue. The p365 is my primary carry pistol. 👍🏼
Man I don’t know what to do, am close to purchasing a 365X but I’m wondering if a Hellcat or Reflex would be a better option. I like the idea of the slightly longer grip on the Sig but the short slide, I like the trigger better in the FN, and the Hellcat seems the only one with no common issues of the three.
I will say this, the opinion is up to you, but my older brother owns both the hellcat and fn reflex. He loved his hellcat pro, although snappy, but regrets his fn reflex. For him, it shot strangely so he is looking to trade it in
@@theflair3314I ended up getting the P365x I like the combo of shorter slide and capacity. I might pick up an Xmacro grip module at some point not sure.
I've never encountered that issue before. I'm certain there's a way to replace them. I would assume that there are tutorial videos available on how to do that.
First issue is plaguing me. I did accidentally bump the take down lever back to 3 o clock. Got it back down. But now when I put the slide on, I can't get it back to 3 o clock to lock the slide in place. Everything else seems fine. Slide will go all the way to the rear. Just cannot get take down lever back to 3 o clock.
I am a woman with not a great deal of hand strength so I have a very difficult time with the slide and then locking into place because it takes both of my hands to hold it. I have both a smith and Wesson M&P 22 and a Ruger 380, both very easy to field strip and clean. My p365 is new to me and very frustrating to disassemble. Are there any tricks or do I just have to take it to the gun store when it needs to be cleaned?
My wife has the same issue with her P365. We noticed that her P365 slide became easier to manipulate the more rounds she fired through it. You might need to shoot it more to break it in.
In your case, you'll have to push the slide lock up and then hold the takedown lever down in the six o'clock position. Then let go of the slide lock and keep holding the takedown lever until you get your slide on and pulled to the rear. Hope that helps.
Based on my experience, your firearm should start to break in after firing around 300+ rounds, which should make dropping the slide with the slide lock easier. However, it's important to keep in mind that pulling the slide back to unlock the slide would be easier for your wife. In my training, I was always advised against using the slide lock and instead pulling the slide back to unlock the slide. This technique has many benefits. I hope this information is helpful for you. Have a great day. 👍🏼
I got away from SIG. SIGs pricing is unjustified! You can get same quality or better for cheaper prices. Plus sig name comes up into too much bs. I only have a p322 left.

@@UBRArsenal I’ve had 3 variations and modded a first gen into a 365x and I’ve literally never had an issue out of any of them. I’m a skinny dude so it’s harder for me to conceal a lot of pistols especially in summer. These, even in the xl variant, are great for that purpose. Even with a dot.
I agree, I have three variations too. I’m currently EDCing the xmacro and even though it’s bigger than the P365x it’s still easy to conceal. I think the p365 is the best conceal carry pistol out there to date.

Every handgun with a safety lever will stick up some times preventing you from putting your slide back on, this is not something that only happens to Sigs.
With the exception of Glock, every pistol I've ever owned has had some minor quirks related to disassembly/reassembly

Is that change in the new 365s a build change in the FCU, or just a replacement of a single component like a newly designed sear spring?
Wait till the RUST on slide comes out, less than a year 😥
I’ve had this one for over nine months and it’s my main carry pistol. This one still doesn’t have any rust yet. 👍🏼
Try maintaining your weapon. Should wipe it down once a week if your carrying it especially in humid climates

I think that's normal. You could try to ask them to fix it. I don't know how that will go. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

What holosun do you have on there
Hi David, the link below will take you to the Holosun used in this video.
amzn.to/3t3T0cD
The $330 one-yikes!!
These are not issues. These are quirks. Like dropping the slide on an empty chamber 1911. It’s a quirk. A issue is part failure. Like striker cups.
I am a woman with not a great deal of hand strength so I have a very difficult time with the slide and then locking into place because it takes both of my hands to hold it. I have both a smith and Wesson M&P 22 and a Ruger 380, both very easy to field strip and clean. My p365 is new to me and very frustrating to disassemble. Are there any tricks or do I just have to take it to the gun store when it needs to be cleaned?
My wife has the same issue with her P365. We noticed that her P365 slide became easier to manipulate the more rounds she fired through it. You might need to shoot it more to break it in.
My problem is I can’t get the pull down lever to the full down position to clean the gun. Help
Did you try the trick I showed in the video, where you push up on the slide lock and pull the takedown lever to the six o’clock position?
My take down lever will not stay in the down position even pushing down the slide lock lever.
In your case, you'll have to push the slide lock up and then hold the takedown lever down in the six o'clock position. Then let go of the slide lock and keep holding the takedown lever until you get your slide on and pulled to the rear. Hope that helps.
Good info thanks!

Am I gonna regret buying 356 over m18
It really comes down to what you're going to use it for.
Wanted the 365 to carry in the forest and m18 for targets shooting n drill
I have constant issues with putting the slide back on because the take down lever never works properly. It's junk.
Yeah, in this video I show pushing the slide lock up and then you can pull the takedown lever to the six o’clock position.
@UBRArsenal Ya, I'm aware of doing that. I've seen at least a dozen videos on dealing with p365 issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes t doesn't.
Mine is not extracting ... 1 shot and I have to manually pull out the spent shell... Did something wrong for sure...
You might want to consider taking it to a gun smith because that’s definitely not normal. Let me know how you make out.
Is rattling normal ?
Yeah, both of mine have a rattle.
I noticed that my P365 is rattling. It's that little slide lever thing in the back that when up will keep the slide on from going on properly.
My slide release is insanely difficult to depress. Anyone else have that issue?
Is it brand new?
@@UBRArsenal it is. I was hoping my wife would take a liking to it and she cannot operate it at all. I have a hard time myself

So there is NO issue with the P365. Only with people not understanding how to field strip or reassemble the pistol. Title is kinda click-baity.
rust
that's a misleading title.
