[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3275739, member: 10465"] Went to Big Boys today with [USER=1551]@surjimmy[/USER] to work out our new Sig P365s - actually we started off the day shooting some full auto! :fullauto:Mike, the owner there, let Jimmy and me shoot his full-auto Thompson Sub-Machine gun. That, ladies and gentlemen, was fun! Then we got down to serious bidness: Checking out the Sig P365 pistolas. We shot Win 115 gr, Fed 115 Gr, Fiocchi 124 gr, Win 124 Gr NATO, and finished with some Gold Dots in the 124 +P flavor after the guns were hot and dirty. Nary a hitch; not a malf one. They ran great. Accuracy...welp, I need some work; the gun is so small, to me, it was challenging, but I got more used to it after several mags, and was at least minute-of-bad-guy good.:gun2: Conclusion: I think I like it. No, I do like it. I do. Good enough to buy a holster or two (or five). The gun is surprising in that even though you [I]know [/I]you got that many rounds in the tiny thing, it just doesn't seem realistic that you can keep pulling the trigger and it keeps going bang. But it does. I need to get a 12 round mag now. Jimmy has one and I like the extra pinky room.
