Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when a Sig P365 was tested after being loaded for two years?

A Sig P365, loaded with one round in the chamber and a full 12-round magazine of defensive ammunition for nearly two years, was tested. The firearm itself performed flawlessly, but a light primer strike occurred on one round of Underwood Extreme Defender ammunition.

Was the Sig P365 malfunctioning after being loaded for two years?

No, the Sig P365 firearm itself did not malfunction. The issue identified was a light primer strike on a specific round of Underwood Extreme Defender ammunition, which was attributed to hard primers, not the firearm or its storage duration.

What caused the light primer strike in the Sig P365 test?

The light primer strike was caused by hard primers in the Underwood Extreme Defender ammunition. This is suspected to be a result of component sourcing challenges faced by manufacturers between 2020 and 2022, leading to the use of different primers than usual.

Does long-term storage of ammunition in a firearm cause reliability issues?

This test suggests that while the firearm may remain reliable, the ammunition's primers can be affected by factors like manufacturing variations or component sourcing issues, potentially leading to failures to fire even after relatively short storage periods.
