NEWINGTON, N.H., (February 17, 2022) – SIG SAUER is pleased to bring a new caliber to the award winning P365 series of pistols. The long awaited P365 chambered in .380 is finally here – creating a new, softer shooting experience for an easier handling micro-compact option for everyday carry.
“The SIG SAUER P365 is the most popular concealed carry pistol on the market today. We have shipped millions of these pistols and until now it has only been available in one caliber,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The P365-380 uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the legacy P365 with a lightened slide, a 380 barrel, and a lighter recoil spring making it easier to rack for an overall exceptionally smooth handling experience. This pistol was designed for everyone but is an ideal option for shooters with smaller hands, as well as those who find the manipulation and recoil management of larger caliber pistols challenging.”
The SIG SAUER P365-380 is a striker fired pistol chambered in 380 with a 10+1 capacity. This micro-compact pistol features a modular polymer grip module, optic-ready stainless-steel slide with Nitron finish, a curved striker trigger, and dovetail SIGLITE night sights. The P365-380 is also available with a manual safety and ships with (2) ten-round magazines.

Welp….that seems like a step backwards.
Yes, as a 1911 dinosaur myself, I’d tend to agree. But on the other hand, perhaps a “softer shooting experience” might be just the thing to promote more range practice and daily carry for the many women and non-gun culture people who might not own anything other than these very light pistols.
Exactly – it’s a super fun gun to shoot and a great beginner pistol!
John Browning invented the 380 ACP and the 1911 so….
John Browning did invent the 380. but even great men make mistakes
Heresy 😉
Joking aside, I do think .380 ACP SD ammo has come a long way in the last 10 years. It’s a contentious topic, but I wouldn’t want to get shot with those external hollow points moving at 1100+FPS.
I don’t carry a .380 myself; I know some very well trained/highly experienced guys who do (in certain situations). Of course they can put them right where they need to go.
