I am interested in picking up a Sig P365. I am a lefty. Is this handgun lefty friendly? Is the magazine release reverseable?

What is a decent going price on these?

Thanks!

If you have not handled or rented a p365 do so but you'll have a better chance to find a left handed shooter of a p365 in the hands of a lefty over at sigtalk !

Yes, mag release is reversible. You may find that you like it setup for a righty.
Some folks find it easier to dump the mag with a finger instead of the typical thumb. It is a small pistol and generally requires a grip shift to reach the stiff, shallow release.

$500 is a typical price.

As noted by RPMSTL, the magazine release is reversible, so one can change it to lefty-mode.

However, the slide stop is NOT reversible, so a lefty would typically just slingshot the slide, unless they wanted to shift grip to use the slide stop to release the slide.

I'm left handed and I can work it just fine... I didnt reverse anything since I am used to right hand only controls.. I have no qualms about it

As noted, mag release in reversible. Further, if you get one with a manual safety, it is ambidextrous. So, it seems the gun was designed to be left-handed friendly from the get-go.

It’s not a problem to be left-handed and operate any firearms. We figure it out. We’re left-handed, not retarded.

Finally got to shoot one this weekend. Rented one for my daughter (along with other small pistols) to decide what she wants in a carry gun. Both of us liked it a lot, dare I say better than the G43. Me being a lefty I had no problems dropping the mag or the slide release with my trigger finger. Been doing that so long I wouldn't want to reverse the mag release.

I reversed the mag release, and sort of wish I didn’t. Other than that it’s as friendly as you need from a gun that size.

I'm a lefty and shot the 365 fine and didn't reverse the mag catch. It was just too small for me to shoot well - sold it. Also, didn't like the grip angle. Ran about ~900 rds no problems. :cheers:

I’ve been in the military for 14 years now and I’ve always had to shoot the guns that I was given (all right handed). Just transferred to an agency that I can modify my gun to a left-handed setting and you would be surprised how much faster you can become using your thumb for reloads, just food for thought. Milliseconds are milliseconds.

No forgiveness necessary. No flame intended.

Just didn't know if you realized the vast difference in the timeline between post and OP had probably moved on.

I am lefty and shoot it just fine. I never switch the mag releases over either.

Dang zombie threads, GT is going to pot....again.

Cool, it came up on new posts yesterday I guess poster #11 revived it and no I didn't check the OP date, it interested me so I read thru it and commented. No offense to you but why do members get triggered over this? Are their memories so acute they remember the thread from the past or are they trolling. Maybe they should petition the mods to block comment on zombie threads, I have seen an alert to the effect that a thread is older and to not expect a response.

Don't know about getting triggered part. I have never witnessed anyone getting upset over it. More of a curtious thing, like someone pointing out to the other about a 'toothpaste smile", or "your fly is down", "mismatched socks", or the vending machine is broken....that kinda thing.

I too, in the past, have about went down a rabbit hole thread that was out dated.
