Ordered a Sig P365 about a week ago and I go to pick it up from my FFL in a couple hours. For those of you who may have them, any gotcha's a new sig owner should look out for? Everything I've read so far, seems to imply they got the firing pin issue figured out, but are there any other things to look out for? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pistol newbie, but I've never had a SIG before. Have a few different pistols but my EDC is a .45 and was looking for something a bit lighter, more discreet and something that carried a few more rounds, so I opted for the SIG.

Run tons of ammo through it to see what it can handle. Use CPL, as recommended in the manual, to clean and lube it. Try not to get any lube in the firing pin channel. The mags will be very tight when loading to full capacity, but they should break in slightly with lots of use.
You should consider getting a few of the 12 round magazines. I like to carry a 10 rounder in my holster, and a 12 rounder as a backup.
Congrats on the new pistol!

My New Favorite Thing....I Think I'm in Love.
So I'm officially a SIG 365 fanboy now. Bought one this morning and went straight to the range and fired 100 rounds of WW white box through it. See my post in the Range/Gun of The Day thread. Shot it along side of my Kahr PM9 and Glock 19. I will be shooting it a lot more and have continued...

SIG P365 Redux
Thanks to those who have followed the thread "My New Favorite Thing..." chronicling my trials and tribulations with the SIG P 365. Those who followed that thread will remember that my first P 365 ran without issue for the first 1000 rounds, had issues after that and was returned to SIG for...

Thank you both very much! It's going on the bench tonight for a full strip and thorough cleaning. I'll be reading those threads a little bit later tonight.
Neither of mine had/has a heavy primer drag.
Mine has the faintest amount of primer drag, but it's so light that it's barely worth mentioning.
As did mine, nothing to worry about, less than that common to most Glocks.
I have had mine about 6 weeks and not had a chance to get out and shoot it. I picked up a Sig laser sight, looks neat and does not add much bulk. I did "zero" it using one of the Wheeler engineering laser bore sighters, one that magnetically attaches to the end of the barrel and assumes that the barrel is cut square to the bore axis, so hop it will get me on target.
I have been practicing dry fire and like it. I was surprised at the quality of the trigger pull for a striker fired gun, mine is light right under 4 lbs , very smooth and crisp, actually better than the single action pull on my 1911 type Sig P938, plus the gun is marginally larger and fits my hand better. I wish they would make a .22 adapter for it like they did for the P938.
