Sig Sauer P365 380

The SIG Sauer P365-380 offers all the same features as the best-selling P365 9 mm micro-compact pistol, but with the softer recoil and easier handling of the .380 ACP cartridge. The combination of the P365's size and ergonomics and the creates a small defensive pistol that is ideal for everyday carry. The P365-380 uses the same grip modules and fire control unit as the popular 9 mm version, with a lightened slide and barrel to make it compatible with all existing P365 holsters. 

The P365-380 has a Nitron finished stainless slide, DLC barrel, and completely redesigned two-piece captured guide rod, making it one of the most durable .380 micro-compact pistol on the market today. The P365-380 was rigorously tested at SIG Sauer and is designed for all shooters, especially those with smaller hands and those who find it a challenge to manipulate and shoot a 9 mm caliber pistol.

Each P365-380 comes standard with SIGLite night sights for effective sight acquisition in all lighting conditions. The P365-380 slide also includes an optic cut compatible with the SIG Sauer RomeoZero Elite or any optic with a similar footprint.  Additionally, the dovetailed front and rear sights allow for effective co-witnessing with properly configured red dots. The P365-380 shares the same fire control unit and grip module as all standard P365s, so it is compatible with all of the same accessories such as flat triggers, Foxtrot lights, XSeries grip modules and many more. Each pistol comes standard with two 10-round magazines (one flush fit and one extended) and a magazine loader.
