Exploding Sig 365 Ammo related?

Published on September 23, 2024
Duration: 12:31

This video discusses reported issues with Sig Sauer P365 firearms, primarily focusing on potential ammunition-related failures and part breakages. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, analyzes user comments and personal observations, suggesting that while P365s may not have the same inherent design flaws as the P320, ammunition quality and high round counts can lead to component failures like broken trigger bar springs and extractors. The discussion highlights concerns about remanufactured ammunition and the general decline in factory ammo quality.

Quick Summary

Sig Sauer P365 firearms have been reported to experience part breakages, such as extractor failures and trigger bar spring issues, often under 10,000 rounds. Ammunition quality, especially remanufactured rounds with double charges, is also a suspected cause of malfunctions and explosions. While not as prone to inherent design flaws as the P320, the P365's reliability can be impacted by ammunition and component wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are common failure points reported for the Sig Sauer P365?

Users report common failures in the Sig Sauer P365, including extractors shearing off and trigger bar springs breaking. These issues can occur well under 10,000 rounds, with trigger bar spring failures often rendering the firearm inoperable.

Can ammunition cause Sig Sauer P365s to explode or malfunction?

Yes, there is significant speculation and user reports suggesting that ammunition, particularly double-charged remanufactured rounds from sources like Midwest Ammunition, can cause P365s to malfunction or explode. Some believe factory ammo quality has also declined.

How does the Sig Sauer P365 compare to the P320 in terms of reliability issues?

While the P320 has known issues, the P365 is generally not believed to have the same inherent design flaws. However, the P365 can still experience part breakages and malfunctions, often linked to ammunition quality or high round counts on specific components.

What is the expected lifespan of a P365 trigger bar spring?

The trigger bar spring in a Sig Sauer P365 is estimated to fail after approximately 5,000 to 10,000 rounds. While some springs may last longer, this component is considered a weak point for high-volume shooters.
