Thoughts on the SIG P365 All Metal Models?

Looking for Insights on the SIG P365 All Metal Models

I’m considering adding a SIG P365 to my collection, specifically the all-metal variants like the P365-AXG Legion. I’ve read a bit about the firearm, but I’m looking for more in-depth reviews and personal experiences from other users.

What I’m Curious About:

  • Construction Quality: How does the all-metal design compare to the standard polymer models? Is it noticeably sturdier or heavier?
  • Performance: How does the P365-AXG perform in terms of reliability, accuracy, and recoil management? Any specific pros and cons I should be aware of?
  • User Experience: If you own or have shot an all-metal P365, what has your experience been? How does it handle daily carry, and do you feel comfortable with it as a primary defense weapon?
  • Comparisons: How does it stack up against other concealed carry firearms? Are there better options out there that I should consider?

I appreciate any insights, tips, or recommendations you could share. Also, feel free to point me towards any reviews or videos that delve into these specific concerns. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using the SIG P365 all metal model for a while now, and the durability is definitely a plus. I find that it holds up better against wear and tear than my old polymer models. The all-metal design feels more solid in hand too.

Absolutely! There’s something reassuring about the heft of an all-metal gun. It just feels more stable, especially during rapid fire. Anyone else notice this?

The metal parts do have a lower likelihood of cracking compared to polymers. In my experience with my P365, I’ve seen very little wear even after thousands of rounds. The reliability is just top-notch.

That’s impressive! I always worry about long-term performance with polymer, but it seems like the all-metal versions are the way to go for longevity.

I have to agree—my all-metal P365 has minimal wear after a couple of years of regular use. Plus, the metal frame helps with recoil management, making it easier to stay on target.

Recoil management is a huge benefit! The extra weight does help keep things steady. But how do you all feel about the weight for daily carry?

Weight is a tradeoff; I find my all-metal P365 feels better in my hand, but it is heavier. If you’re comfortable with that, it’s worth it for the reliability. I wouldn’t compromise on that for lighter weight.

Well said! With a firearm, it’s all about performance and trust. The P365 gives me confidence, and I’d choose durability over weight any day.

I’ve heard some people say that metal guns can rust or corrode quicker. What has been your experience with the P365?

I’ve had mine in wet conditions, and as long as you maintain it, there shouldn’t be a problem. Just keep it oiled, and you’ll be fine!

Has anyone noticed any significant wear on the metal parts after extensive use? That’s my only concern with buying one.

Not at all! I put mine through the wringer at the range, and it still looks almost new. It’s held up so well after numerous sessions.

You guys have almost convinced me to buy one! I love the idea of high durability and performance. Just need to get over the weight issue.

Weight can be daunting. Just remember, it’s about how it feels in your hand. The P365 is balanced enough that, after some practice, you’ll feel right at home with it.

I think we’re all forgetting one thing—metal firearms are like that classic car: they get better with age. Who doesn’t want a gun that ages like fine wine?

True! A well-maintained metal gun looks amazing and is a testament to quality. It reflects care and pride in ownership!

I’ve been looking into the all-metal P365 models as well. The weight definitely feels different compared to the polymer models. For concealed carry, it can be a bit heavier, but I think it adds to the overall stability during shooting.

Absolutely! I find that the all-metal frame helps with recoil management, but it can get uncomfortable after a long day of carrying. Holster selection becomes key for comfort.

I agree! A good holster makes all the difference. I’ve switched to an inside-the-waistband model that distributes the weight better. It makes carrying all day much easier.
