Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove the magazine disconnect from a California-compliant P365?

To remove the magazine disconnect, you must first field strip the firearm. Then, remove the fire control unit (FCU) from the grip module. The magazine disconnect mechanism is located on the FCU and can be carefully removed. Reassemble the FCU into the grip module afterward.

What is the purpose of the loaded chamber indicator on the CA P365?

The loaded chamber indicator (LCI) on the California-compliant P365 is a feature that visually indicates if a round is present in the chamber. On this specific model, it is retained by the top cover used for mounting a red dot sight.

Can I use standard P365 accessories after modifying the CA compliant model?

Yes, by removing the magazine disconnect and the loaded chamber indicator mechanism, you restore the P365 to its standard functionality. This allows you to use any aftermarket P365 accessories that would be compatible with a non-California compliant model.

Does modifying the CA P365 affect its warranty?

Yes, it is explicitly stated that removing these compliance features, such as the magazine disconnect and loaded chamber indicator, may revoke your manufacturer's warranty. It's important to consider this risk before performing the modification.
