So the first mag ran fine through the P365 then about 3-4 rounds through the second mag it jams. Ok so I clear it and again next one FTE. Empty the mag and put it different ammo and still the same results,will not eject the spent casing. The ejector looks good so I guess Sig will get a call tomorrow and back to the factory it goes. T I thought the regular 365 had this problem and it was supposedly fixed with the XL. I was hoping this would be my new carry gun but even when fixed I wouldn't trust it until I have at least 1000 + rounds though it without any problems. Sure Sig will fix it and make it right but nowhere have I seen extractor issues with the XL. I guess it's possible it's something else. All the reviews I read no one had any issues with theirs so before I get to bent out of shape I guess I should wait to see what Sig says.
I should be getting my Kimber hat-trick this week. Commander 45, micro 9 mm, and a micro 380. On the way Papa Bear Mama Bear and baby bear.
I am amazed at how someone thinks they are getting the deal of a lifetime on a readily available item and haven't factored in shipping and FFL fees into the equation. The costs of those fees can easily bring their "deal" over local store prices...

Did I mention I'm partial to 1911 aesthetic??? LOL
Dave, I've never had a P365 malfunction yet. Something ain't right.So the first mag ran fine through the P365 then about 3-4 rounds through the second mag it jams.

I know my Kimber had a few issues but they were mostly with the sights and red dot. Having FTF or FTE make me nervous so I don't know what I'm going to do yet but my Shield will continue to be my carry along with my 1911's.
At least the Springfield 1911 ran flawless! I ran 100 rounds through it with 3 different mags,the stock mags,the Mac-Gar mags and the 5 new mags from eBay. Tom those eBay mags are great and worth getting. They are the same exact mags as the factory Kimber and Springfield mags.
It was getting warm fast today so I only ran 35 rounds through my new Rugged Obsidian 9 Suppressor and luckily that was flawless too.
I'm going to send my 1911 back to Kimber. Kimber wants to see the gun I have 10 mags. All 3 Kimber mags will not feed. All the aftermarkets feed perfectly and I have two Wilson Combat mags coming. So they want the gun back which I don't mind cuz they will go through the whole gun again. I'm going to send it back when I come back from my brother's I want to blow a bunch of ammo to it up there see if it straightens out.
When I sent mine back to Kimber for the sights and the red dot they went completely through the gun doing way more than I expected. I know that the tolerances are very tight on the Kimbers and they say it can take 300-500 rounds for break in. The mags are a different story as the aftermarket ones work and the OEM ones don't. Which is stranger because both my Kimber and Springfield have the exact same mags along with the eBay mags and all fed fine yesterday.
You know you're getting too comfortable when you're getting likes on posts that are 8 months old.
I may just wait on TomJust wait and Tom will probably be selling his .223 soon. lol
For a .223 the S&W like Tom has is a good choice. It has everything you will need and it's backed with a lifetime warrantee. Before the pandemic they were selling for $500 everywhere so if you're not in a hurry you can wait until prices come down. BUT if the political climate changes they will shoot up even higher as Biden already said he will ban these.
Another option that is more cost effective is to build one. Trust me they're easy and seeing as you're mechanically inclined (fixing your bikes) you will have no trouble. They sell the parts kits at Palmetto State Armory with the upper,trigger and all other parts that can be shipped directly to you. Then all you need is a stripped lower.that has to be sent to the dealer as that has the serial number on it. They just had some really good deals over Memorial Day weekend but I'm sure there will be another come July 4th. If you go this route I have a couple videos I can send you and it explains step by step how to build them with basic hand tools.
I bought my first one all assembled but my dealer is the one who convinced me to start building them. This way you save money and get to learn how the rifle functions and if you have any problems you're already familiar with all the parts. The first one took a little over an hour as I was going slow and pausing the video a lot to double check everything but now I can do them in roughly 30 mins.
Here's the first one I bought all assembled. I paid $500.00 with free shipping a couple years ago. Don't get caught up that you have to spend $2,000 + for a good AR, it's like comparing a 1911 to a M&P. Both are good and will do the job but the M&P is a great pistol. it's better to spend your money to get a good scope and maybe later on a better trigger. I can hit steel at 400 yards so unless you're trying for dime size groupings you don't have to spend a lot.

Here's the parts kit and the lower receiver. This is a really nice set up for about $570.00. They have many different ones so you can scan through their sight when you have time. There's not a lot that are in stock so I would grab something soon because these are going to be even harder to get towards the fall. One other thing is I do like these uppers better because the have the M-Lok rails and you can easily attach lights,grips or lasers to them. If it were me and you really want to get one I would put the Sig XL on hold and get this first. The Sig will always be available,these may not.

All the .223 ammo was the first to fly off the shelf. I usually just shoot the Wolf steel case which I was paying 0.18/round for before all this. I did catch it back in stock at Target Sports for 0.22/round last month so still not to bad. Set up in stock reminders there and if I see it anywhere else I'll let you know. Doesn't hurt to buy some even though you done have the rifle yet.
Damn,I just realized this post got long. lol
