To some degree, yes. I chose the .500 Mag case photo to make the difference obvious to those that don't pick up and look at cases all the time like reloaders do, thats why I wrote "Just for reference".

As Tim stated, I have also never witnessed so much drag, and I own a lot of pistols. Most companies also don't have so many owners reporting broken firing pins.

Check out how many P365 owner have this issue alone:

And that doesn't even touch the initial FTF problems, the marring of the barrel and the cheap ass relive cut they came up with. SIG didn't even bother refinishing the metal in that spot.

I can deal with a pistol that has a few issues during breakin and then none thereafter, what scares me to death is a pistol that develops serious problems after a few hundred rounds.

Personally, while I've generally considered the original P210 to have been in the same category as the original M52, I've always been puzzled by the whole phenomena of people essentially putting the original West German P220's on a pedestal. They used stamped, folded and welded slides and frames that were supposedly capable of providing up to maybe double the older military requirements of a 5K frame service life. They were inexpensive pistols made for standard mil/LE sales.

You can argue the new P226 slides are better, and I prefer the new E2 grips and SRT.

The problems you point out happened in the beginning of the companies, hence the term "growing pains". Sig is well established and I would call the problems they are having "rush to market pains" there is a SIGnificant difference.

It was rushed to market for SHOT.

Still have yet to see a P365 here in my mid-sized city. They just laugh when I ask if they have one.

No worries.

Helpful tip, at the beginning of a quote, it reads “so-and-so said” followed by an arrow. Click that arrow, and it jumps you to that post.

Not getting any arrow.

Are you 365 owners comfortable with MIM parts made in India?
