DETAILS
The Sig Sauer P365-380 offers all the same features as America’s #1 selling micro-compact pistol, now in the softer shooting 380 caliber resulting in easier handling and less felt recoil.
The long-awaited P365 chambered in 380 is finally here, creating a new, softer shooting, easier handling micro-compact option for everyday carry.
It uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the popular 9mm version with a lightened slide and barrel making it completely compatible with all existing P365 holsters. With a Nitron® finished stainless slide, DLC barrel, and completely redesigned two-piece captured guide rod, the Sig Sauer P365-380 is the most durable 380 micro-compact pistol on the market.
Rigorously tested at SIG SAUER, the Sig Sauer P365-380 was designed for all shooters, especially those with smaller hands and those who find the manipulation and recoil management of 9mm caliber pistols challenging.
Each Sig P365-380 comes standard with SIGLITE® night sights for effective sight acquisition in all lighting conditions.
The Sig Sauer P365-380 slide includes an optic cut compatible with the ROMEOZero Elite or any optic with the same footprint. Additionally, the dovetailed front and rear sights allow for effective co-witnessing in the proper configuration.
Because the Sig Sauer P365-380 shares the same fire control unit and grip module as all standard P365s it is compatible with all of the same accessories, such as flat triggers, FOXTROT lights, XSeries grip modules, etc.
Each pistol includes (2) 10rd magazines (one flush fit and one extended) and a magazine loader standard.
The Sig Sauer P365-380 is the ultimate micro-compact pistol offering less recoil, less racking force, and less compromise in an everyday carry pistol.

When SIG SAUER released the 9mm P365, it shook the gun world. Suddenly sub-compact-like capacity was now available in micro-compact single-stack-like size.
While slightly thicker than the pocket 9mm pistols and single-stacks of previous concealment kings, the tiny new micro-compacts weren’t always the most pleasant pistols to shoot on the range.
With SIG offering the now-venerable P365 chambered in tamer .380 ACP, there’s a good chance range pleasantness will increase.
The P365’s slight extra width (at a mere 1 inch wide, it’s still thin) certainly helps by adding surface area to grip and disperse recoil, tiny pistols have never been fun to shoot.
Less fun to shoot means less likely to practice which means less proficient with the very gun that many have chosen to protect their lives.
By offering essentially the same gun (see video for comparison below) in a slightly lower-powered cartridge SIG SAUER may have just created the ultimate concealment pistol. At least for a good portion of the gun-carrying community.
Yes, .380 ACP
There are those who question .380 ACP as a valid carry option. While it’s certainly not the most powerful option out there, I have yet to find anyone willing to be shot with it.
Browning’s American 9mm (.380 ACP’s dimensions are 9x17mm, AKA 9mm short) has been given a boost in effectiveness thanks to modern projectile design.
If you don’t have faith in that, you’re welcome to stick to Luger’s 9x19mm round. This post isn’t written to start caliber debates, just to inform you of new options in the 9x17mm round.
I once did an exhaustive study of .380 ACP versus 9x19mm by testing five different matching pairs of ammunition through three matched pairs of pistols (same barrel length, same action type).
After calculating the energy created in all combinations, it of course confirmed that 9x19mm is more powerful than 9x17mm.
But the margin isn’t always a dramatic one, and some loads of 9x17mm offer greater power than some loads of 9x19mm.

A SIG P365 in .380 ACP
With that out of the way we can get back to the new pistol. The Sig Sauer P365-380 is nearly identical to it’s older brother.
Even the magazines appear to be 9mm magazine bodies with a spacer or shim inserted to make up for .380’s slightly shorter overall length.
We’ve seen other manufacturers use this same approach and it works while also keeping costs down.
The SIG P365-380 Uses the same modular fire control unit and grip frames as the 9mm P365s and in most cases, P365 holster will work with the new .380 ACP model, too.
Its optics-ready slide means you’re good to go if you like to carry a pistol with a red dot sight.
What excited me about the .380 ACP version of the P365 being so similar to the original is the .380 version’s semi-auto action type.
Using a locked-breech in the P365-380 instead of blowback (as in many .380 pistols), the recoil spring on the P365-380 doesn’t need to be as strong.
That translates to a pistol that’s easier to rack for those with limited hand strength.
Locked-breech pistols also have less perceived recoil than direct blowback actions so the potential is there for an even softer-shooting pistol.
That’s important if you’re particularly recoil sensitive.
