It is critical not to lubricate the striker or the striker safety area within the Sig P365 slide. These areas must be kept dry to ensure proper function and prevent potential malfunctions.

Sig Sauer officially recommends replacing the recoil spring assembly for the P365 series firearms approximately every 2,500 rounds fired.
