Another SIG 365 Variant

[nortac]

Just saw this "SAS" variant advertised on the PSA website. Ported barrel and slide, flush sight and controls:

I don't have any snagging issues with my P365. But I could see that if you intended to pocket carry, which I'm not a fan of, the snag-less features of the SAS could possibly be of value.

I'd just as soon they hadn't ported it.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of ported short barrels. In a defensive situation, if you fire from a close retention position, those ports can send hot gas and powder fragments up into your face.

Interesting sight design though, isn't it? Looks like Sig has a bunch of Gen Yer's jacked up on mountain dew who are busy thinking outside the box on new designs and leaving the other gun makers behind eating their dust.

Interesting. "Almost" a gutter sight...kinda sorta.

I have a snaglless one I got as a pocket carry back-up to a duty weapon. A .40 DAO AMT Back-up. It's about 5 ounces heavier than the Sig though.

Precisely my thinking. I got a demo of what the muzzle and cylinder can do to pants leg material last summer, hot gas isn't something to underestimate.

Well...
They're definitely jacked up.

I had a friend who had the .45 version. It took two men & a mule to pull the trigger.

You gots that right. A co-worker had the .45 version and it was on a bigger frame than the .40, but the trigger pull on both was horrible. The .40 is on the .380 frame, and is a bit smaller than the baby Glock.

I clipped a couple of coils off the mainspring (which they say your not supposed to do as the mainspring affects the function) but it lightened the pull and I haven't had a bit of problem with function in more than two decades. Trigger pull is reasonable now...I like it. SWMBO can shoot it better than I can at 7 yards.

I hid it in the safe, unloaded, so she can't get her hands on it when she is mad.

YMMV. Don't try this at home, kids.

Desperate situations call for desperate measures.
