Frequently Asked Questions

How do you disassemble the P365 Fire Control Unit (FCU) from the grip module?

To disassemble the P365 FCU, first ensure the firearm is safe and clear. Push out the rear pin of the grip module. Then, pull up on the ears at the rear of the FCU and pull backward to remove it. Unlike the P320, the P365 takedown lever does not need to be fully removed.

What is a common issue when reassembling a P320 and how do you fix it?

A common issue is a 'dead trigger' if the slide wasn't locked to the rear during FCU installation. To fix this, lock the slide to the rear, push up on the slide stop to reset the mechanisms, and then release the slide.

How should the oblong guide rod be installed in a P320 Carry or Compact model?

The oblong guide rod in P320 Carry and Compact models must be installed correctly to prevent binding. Ensure the flat side of the guide rod is seated on the bottom of the barrel, with the flat side facing upwards.

Can you combine different P365 grip modules and slides, and what are the considerations?

Yes, P365 modules are modular. Combining a standard P365 top end with an XL grip module creates a P365X size, but requires 12-round magazines. An XL top end on a standard module works but may show a gap at the base plate.
