Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of the Sig Sauer P365 over the Glock 43 for concealed carry?

The Sig Sauer P365 offers a higher magazine capacity (10+ rounds vs. 6 rounds), improved ergonomics with better grip texture and an optional extended magazine base plate, and superior stock sights that are effective in both day and low-light conditions. It also generally shoots softer and feels less snappy than the Glock 43.

What are the common issues or drawbacks of the Glock 43?

The Glock 43's stock sights are notoriously poor and prone to damage. It also has a lower magazine capacity and can feel 'snappy' to shoot, often requiring aftermarket upgrades like stippling for better traction and control. It lacks an accessory rail for lights or lasers.

How do the triggers compare between the Glock 43 and Sig P365?

The Glock 43's trigger is often considered a mandatory upgrade due to its perceived poor quality. The Sig P365's trigger is described as 'alright,' with some mushiness before a wall, which is generally seen as an improvement over the stock Glock trigger without requiring immediate aftermarket modification.

Is the Sig P365 significantly more expensive than the Glock 43 when considering upgrades?

While the initial purchase price is similar, the Glock 43 often requires around $600 in upgrades (sights, trigger, stippling) to reach the performance and feature level of a stock Sig P365. This makes the P365 a better value proposition out-of-the-box for many users.
