SIG SAUER released its new concealed-carry pistol a few weeks before the 2018 SHOT Show. Grand View Outdoors got a closer look at the P365 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas and the real thing lived up to its aforementioned billing.

The pistol measures only 1-inch wide, 5.8-inches long and 4.3-inches tall, with a barrel length of 3.1 inches. It weighs just 17.8 ounces with an empty magazine. What's more mind-blowing is the 11 rounds this micro-compact shoots. It comes standard with a 10-round flush fit magazine and a 10-round extended magazine; 12-round extended is available.
The P365 features a unique grip design and higher grip-to-bore axis, which reduces perceived recoil and gives the P365 a similar feel to that of many mid-sized pistols. The grip is fully textured polymer with a slim-lined rail that will accommodate SIG light or laser accessories. The stainless-steel slide comes standard with front and rear serrations for easier slide manipulation, as well as SIGLITE night sights for faster sight acquisition under all lighting conditions.
Disassembly features a three-point takedown that does not require the trigger to be pulled. A generous trigger guard undercut also allows for a higher hand position and better retention. The narrowing magazine design allows the upper part of the grip to be perfectly contoured to fit the shooter’s thumb when fired.
MSRP for the P365 is $599. A 12-round extended magazine is $55, while a 10-round flush mag/10-round base extension are $49.
