For everyday carry where concealability, capacity, and shootability all matter, few pistols deliver the balance that serious users demand. Whether you’re evaluating options for personal defense or department-issued duty, the right micro-compact can make all the difference in real-world performance and comfort.

SIG SAUER P365 is a micro-compact 9mm designed to maximize capacity without sacrificing concealment. Striker-fired with the clean, crisp trigger pull SIG is known for, the P365 offers an unprecedented 10+1 full-size capacity in an everyday carry footprint. Included are XRAY3 Day/Night sights, a 10-round flush-fit magazine, and a 10-round extended magazine; optional 12- and 15-round extended magazines raise totals to 13 or 16 rounds respectively. It’s lightweight, chambered in 9mm Luger, rated for +P ammo, and is the only 365 pistol with an approved trigger for the NYPD.

Design and build

The SIG SAUER P365 pairs a polymer grip module with a stainless steel slide and a carbon steel barrel to keep weight low while retaining durability. The ergonomics are tuned for everyday carry—short sight radius and compact dimensions for concealment, but a grip geometry that supports consistent, repeatable shooting.

Trigger and controls

This model’s striker-fired system delivers a crisp trigger break and reset that many shooters prefer for defensive carry. The NYPD-approved trigger variant highlights its acceptance for agencies that demand a proven, safe, and reliable trigger system.

Capacity, magazines, and practical carry

Where the SIG SAUER P365 stands out is capacity density. The standard 10+1 configuration gives more rounds than typical micro-compact pistols, and the included extended 10-round magazine and optional 12- and 15-round magazines allow users to tailor capacity up to 13 or 16 rounds. That flexibility makes the pistol suitable for personal defense, plainclothes assignments, or as a backup platform.

Caliber choice—9mm Luger—offers manageable recoil, wide ammunition availability, and effective terminal performance. Rating for +P ammunition provides additional velocity options for those who require it within safe operating parameters.

Price point is competitive for the feature set: $550.99 for a ready-to-carry package with sights and two magazines. For full specifications and purchase options, View product details and pricing.
