U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- SIG SAUER is pleased to bring a new caliber to the award-winning P365 series of pistols. The long awaited P365 chambered in 380 is finally here – creating a new, softer shooting experience for an easier handling micro-compact option for everyday carry.
“The SIG SAUER P365 is the most popular concealed carry pistol on the market today. We have shipped millions of these pistols and until now it has only been available in one caliber,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The P365-380 uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the legacy P365 with a lightened slide, a 380 barrel, and a lighter recoil spring making it easier to rack for an overall exceptionally smooth handling experience. This pistol was designed for everyone but is an ideal option for shooters with smaller hands, as well as those who find the manipulation and recoil management of larger caliber pistols challenging.”
The SIG SAUER P365-380 is a striker fired pistol chambered in 380 with a 10+1 capacity. This micro-compact pistol features a modular polymer grip module, optic-ready stainless-steel slide with Nitron finish, a curved striker trigger, and dovetail SIGLITE night sights. The P365-380 is also available with a manual safety and ships with (2) ten-round magazines.

- Caliber: 380 AUTO
- Overall length: 5.8 inches
- Overall height: 4.2 inches
- Overall width: 1.0 inches (1.1 inches w/manual safety)

I don’t see a point to this, or any other new .380 ACP. The cartridge case is only 2.2 millimeters shorter than a 9mm and the bullets are the exact same diameter. Ammo for the .380 is way more expensive too. If you want .380 performance and .380 recoil, why not just load some 9mm ammo with a lighter bullet and less powder? I use a similar argument in comparing a .38 and a .357 Magnum. Why buy a .38 when you can buy a .357 and shoot either cartridge? Well, why buy a .380 when you can buy a… Read more »
It creates new business, demand where there was none. Smart marketing.
Because most shooters don’t hand load as we do so they’re stuck with shooting the factory offerings in ammunition. There’s no shortage of shooters that aren’t of a ‘manly build’ that find the recoil & muzzle blast of even the lowly 9mm to be too stout for their liking and/or have difficulty retracting the slide of a 9mm, especially the sub & micro compacts with their stiff recoil springs. No one’s forcing you to buy one of these. If you don’t want one, that’s fine but there’s no need to bash the cartridge or those that do want one. The… Read more »
Seems odd that they mark the caliber as .380 ACP on a Sig. .380 Auto is more accurate and wouldn’t advertise Colt on the gun. My 1911’s from different manufacturers are all marked .45 Auto.
Glad for this. I bought my wife a Walther CCP M2 in 380. The softer recoil and ease of chambering a round are great. The 10 rounds instead of 8 make me want to give this sig a try.
