EDC fixed!

My Sig 365 broke the trigger bar spring, which initially pissed me off. After calling Sig, which they offered to give me a shipping label for free shipping, I had them send me a new one. 2nd Amendment in McHenery, Il had an event this weekend and reps from Sig were there. I brought my Sig there and they put in the spring in 10 minutes and gave me 20 hollow points “for my troubles”. I can not complain about their service. They do recommend that all springs should be replaced after 3000 rounds and I had about 10,000 rounds on that spring. From now on I will replace the springs once a year. Rather scary that your life might depend on a 5 cent spring.

That worries me frankly. I have been a big proponent of the P365 here. Now I am not so sure. I really like the gun, but am now wondering about my round count. This is a bummer for sure.

Everyone should have a backup for their EDC. Send it to Sig $90 plus $55 shipping and use your backup for 3-4 weeks. Mechanical things do break the question is when. The 365 has about 8 springs. At least Sig has a recommendation to keep your gun reliable. Even a Glock at some time will need a major overhaul. It is no wonder some prefer revolvers, a lot simpler and one can say more reliable.

All true sir. I have about 1400 rounds on her so far. I will probably run it another for another 1000 and get the spring replaced. Thank you for the heads up!

@Fred30 Glad you got that squared away, now is your trigger the original curve type or have you upgraded to the straight trigger. Mine is still the original curve type, just gotta keep an eye on the spring now that you came across the trigger bar spring issue.

Just wondering about that to see if that issue was from the new upgrade.

Triggers are meant to be curved, so we can stroke them like a womans thigh. :slightly_smiling_face:

Until she takes half, then you are left with a flat faced trigger :grinning:

I have been at this for only 3 years, learning every day. The spring was just worn out after 10,000 rounds now I know the springs have to be replaced after a certain time.

Really? Wholly, shiaaaate, I’ve got to have 10-12k rounds through my P365XL. Hmmm, guess, I better start looking for a new spring too. First, I’ll use my back-up P365XL. I will definitely be getting two new springs now, though.

It wouldn’t hurt to get a new recoil spring. Replaced mine after 5,000 rounds,

Yes that would be the proverbial defecate hitting the oscillating device!

That is good information to know. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious, and sorry if I take the thread off track, but what makes a flat trigger better? All my guns have traditional curved triggers, and I’ve never fired a flat trigger gun. What am I missing?

For me that flat trigger feels more comfortable Many prefer a flat one.

I’ve noticed I get more leverage because I can place my finger a little lower on the trigger face and get a (seemingly) lighter trigger pull.

This has been my experience with flat triggers exactly. My trigger press is more consistent with a flat trigger on my pistols. I just like how it feels.

I have to agree, more leverage and seem to get just an overall better feel on the trigger. Good reset as well

Exactly, better feel…faster cleaner break and faster follow up shots. A flat trigger just seems to work better. Imo
