First new gun in how long?

Welcome to the forum. The last time I bought a gun the hour had a 1 in it!

The P365 is famous for its recalcitrant mags. I have a Frankenstein P365 with a Rafian Raptor Afterburner set up on it. It’s a great gun.

Hi from NJ. My wife has a comp'd 365Xl, I enjoy shooting that but you're right about the mag springs.

Yeah, the springs feel and sound kinda brittle for lack of a better description. Maybe I’ve just forgotten how stiff the Beretta, S&W and Wilson springs were when they were new?

Has anyone tried a magwell on the 365?
 
Since I have a small crowd here can we talk a little about .22?

I would like a second round I can send down range in greater numbers than my budget allows in 9mm.

The answer of course is .22. I'm not interested in going revolver, SA or DA. I'm hesitant to go semi-auto because there's just so much about talk about feed and cycling issues.

This gets me thinking about a small, lightweight rifle. How small and lightweight? Well, how about the Rossi RS22 or even the Henry US Survival .22.

I'd love to get your thoughts on those rifles or others that come to mind.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

I just picked up my first new gun in a good long time.

How long? The first number of that year was a 1. Yup, time flies.

My new gun is a SigSauer P365 XMacro Comp. I only had time to put 50-60 rounds thru it yesterday but I am delighted so far. Right out of the box the trigger is great. My last 9mm was the Beretta 92 FS Custom Carry so the Sig is a horse of a different color and that's a good thing. I shot a lot of skeet (early 80s Browning Citori 20GA) and local IPSC with my Colt Series 70 .45 way back in the last century. Though I'm pretty much retired I cannot imagine finding the time to shoot as much as I used to but I hope to get to the range regularly. We will see.

First comment about the P365. I cannot figure out why the factory mag springs are as stiff as they are. I do not see the point in that. The steel strikes me as unduly stiff and depending on the alloy used suggests the springs might go slack sooner than they should. Again, only time will tell but that leads me to my first post-gun buy. The Speed Beez loader is a little bulky but works perfectly. Totally worth the dough. I'm glad Sig supplies a simple loader but I won't be using it as long as I have the Speed Beez. Super clever design and made in the US.

Not sure how active I'll be here but I wanted to let you all know about my new P365.

Thanks for reading and cheers to everyone.

Congrats on your Sig P-365. I have a Fuse model, really like it, but the 21 round mags don't feed at all 1st round fires rest of the rds are way below the mag lips.

While I don’t own any .22 rifles, I do own a Glock 44, which is a .22, no issues with it, I have owned the Ruger .22 pistols, had a few issues with the last one I had, jamb city with every brand I tried, just my thoughts
