SIG P365 SAS Part 2: Deep Dive

Published on January 23, 2020
Duration: 29:29

This video provides a deep dive into the SIG P365 SAS, focusing on its unique Metro Light sight system and anti-snag features. The reviewer details the process of adjusting the sight for better accuracy and demonstrates a novel method for field stripping the SAS model using a coin. Recoil comparison between the SAS and standard P365 is also presented, along with insights into the practical application of the SAS for concealed carry.

Quick Summary

The SIG P365 SAS features a unique 'Metro Light' bullseye sight system for simplified aiming and an 'anti-snag' design for concealed carry. While it may have a learning curve, adjustments are possible. Recoil analysis shows minimal difference compared to the standard P365, with perceived flatness often linked to sight acquisition time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you field strip the SIG P365 SAS?

Field stripping the SIG P365 SAS can be done using a nickel or similar coin. After ensuring the firearm is unloaded and the magazine is removed, lock the slide back. Insert the coin vertically into the takedown pin notch and rotate it clockwise until it stays. Then, move the slide further rearward to release tension and remove it from the frame. Reassembly is the reverse process.

What is the SIG P365 SAS Metro Light sight system?

The SIG P365 SAS features a 'Metro Light' bullseye sight system, which uses a green dot and ring to create a point-of-aim without traditional front and rear sights. It's designed for visibility in various light conditions and aims to simplify target acquisition for concealed carry.

Does the SIG P365 SAS have less recoil than the standard P365?

While the SIG P365 SAS may feel like it shoots flatter, quantitative analysis using a Mantis X10 and visual measurement of muzzle rise showed minimal differences in recoil and muzzle lift compared to the standard P365. Perceived differences are often attributed to the time needed to re-acquire the unique sight.

What are the main differences between the SIG P365 SAS and the regular P365?

The SIG P365 SAS features an 'anti-snag' design with rounded edges, a minimized slide stop, and a unique Metro Light bullseye sight. The regular P365 has traditional sights and a more prominent slide stop, offering a different user experience and potentially easier sight acquisition for some.
