In Feb. I went into my local Gun Shop to buy the Glock 19x. But I accidentally ventured over to the Sig display and found a P365. After comparing them I fell for the P365. Unfortunately, there were a couple of issues with the P365 which stopped me from ordering one that day. Sig has stated they corrected the spring issue with the P365's issued after July 2018. So I bought one. Mine was shipped Aug. 18 2018. I have fired 500 rounds of varying 9mm ammo to include 100 rounds of +P 9mm. There has been no sign of magazine gauging from the trigger bar spring. So it looks like SIG shortened the trigger bar spring to fix that issue. The other issue is the Striker drag on the primer. That is still prevalent on my P365. Just in case of firing pin breakage, I have tracked down a steel striker replacement from LSPI part # LS7365. I love these SIG's.
As pictured:
10mm Legion P220
.45 acp P320 Compact
9mm P365 Micro

Eric,
Nice line up you have there!! Nothing wrong with SIGs.

If you have the firing pin drag problem,why don't you call SIG,have them send you a shipping label so you can send the piece back to them to get fixed??

Their turn around time is super fast.

Thank You, Wayne

I believe all striker fire compact models have this problem. The Glock 43 and M&P also have the same striker drag on the primer. I believe this issue will always be prevalent in Striker fire Compact handguns with 9mm ammo because of the recoil speed with the slide bar. Sig will only replace the firing pin if it breaks.
My new Steel pin should never fail.

Haven't had that issue on my Glock 43, but I did change the trigger. It will shoot almost with my Glock 19.

Hello, Pap

You got a good one Pap. My Brother Doug's Glock 43 9mm left this drag mark on the primer. I have not heard of a Glock 43 breaking a firing pin. But some of them do leave a drag mark.

I just checked some fired cases from my Glock Model 43,no drag marks with either factory or my reloads.

So I guess that this may be a sometime thing??

Wayne, you and Pap are blessed and highly favored. My brother Doug has put maybe 4000 rounds through his G43. He teaches a CCW class in Flint and owns his own firing range. The striker drag on the casing I showed was from our latest outing. You can do research via Google on striker drag on compact 9mm and I think the PPK is the only one not displaying it. I do love the feel of the P365, so it won a spot by my side.

The Glock Store in California has replacement strikers, and they had a sale on their titanium ones for my 19 and 20, but didn't think I needed one for my 43.

Based on what Eric is outlining, I think it's more of a good idea than a "need"... certainly could not hurt.

My view on this is,if it ain't broke don't fix it.

If there are drag marks but everything functions OK,then I don't see any problem.

In my humble opinion,if there are serious problems,the factory will do a recall and fix it under warranty.

Reminds me of when guys would do all sorts of add ons and accessories to their car. The last thing they put on it is a "for sale" sign.
