My point: There are NO completely, utterly, undeniably, 100% reliable guns made.

None, zero, nada...

Soccerdad1995,

My Ruger 101 revolver failed me once.

Why?

The case of the cartridge for reasons unknown to me had expanded slightly apparently after being loaded into the chamber some months previously.

Thus, when I pulled the trigger it jammed, that is, it wouldn't revolve or rotate if you will.

I was astounded.

A revolver failed - So, revolvers aren't 'quite' as foolproof as we'd all like to think.

Now, my interest in the Sig 365 is second to the Kel-Tec PMR-30.

Almost no recoil, meaning you get to stay on target, and the capacity, hoo-boy, 30+1 of .22 cal Magnum.

This cartridge has oommpph!

Far and away more potent than the .22 cal LR.

Okey Dokey!

flechero,

Yes, that's the video I've been referencing.

And, they shoot other brand and not just Magtech, Blazer 124 gr being one.

I don't have time to re-watch the whole thing, but they may have shot some other brands of ammo too.

Now, I'll have to re-visit the YT video, but I'm (almost) positive they DID use different brands of ammo not just one.

Great to hear!

Thanks!!

Rotor,

On the 'Sig Forum' there's quite a thread regarding the 365.

It's reliability (currently) sounds hit and miss.

Some swear they've zero problems, others willing to admit they've had problems with FTE's and other things.

I'm going to wait, though for sure I'd like to have one now.

I'm spoiled though.

My Glock 19 is so reliable I've come to unrealistically it seems expect all semi-autos to be the same.

Sadly, they're not.

I want the 365 for yard/house use. G19's fully loaded are rather heavy. Not conducive to chain saw work, or spraying herbicide or all the other outside things I work at in my yard. Yes, my yard is big enough to be rather park like...The 365 is light as a feather, lots of capacity, but man it's gotta be reliable.

My Ruger LC9S is light as a feather too, but only 8 rounds with one in the pipe, and it turns out not as bad/unreliable as it was initially, but it had to be sent to the factory to make things right. That's a giant pain in posterior. I've finally learned it ammo sensitive and I now know what it likes to shoot and what it doesn't. Problem is again, I'm spoiled. My G19 will shoot anything 9mm. Sigh...

The 365 capacity is very appealing and from what I gather, it's not as punishing to shoot (as the LC9S) and it's light weight is quite appealing too. Apparently, due to it's design is somehow less than the snappishness of the LC9S.

flechero,

Thanks, I'm very interested in this gun, but it'll take a year before I buy one, unless: I see lots and lots good reports. Let others be beta testers. Even after that time, you can still find guns that aren't reliable, but after a year or so of being on the market, if flaws show up and Sig fixes them before they're for sale, great. I just don't want to go through the returning of a gun to the factory so it'll work properly.

I watched a YT video regarding the Sig 365 and man it did NOT like the 115 grain round nose FMJ's.

How so: It often wouldn't go into all the way into battery.

The video was pooh poohed on a Sig forum, but I saw it over and over not go into battery.

How do you argue with that?

The Sig guys knocked the video from a number of perspectives, one being the shooters used cheap ammo.

Please, most of us don't use premium, that is to say high dollar ammo for range practice.

The Sig guys are diehard fans and will not hear of one of their precious guns being criticized...

If so, how is it performing?

Is it ammo sensitive?

If so, what ammo?

Thanks!
