Reports up to a 30-percent reduction in muzzle flip. Has a ported barrel and slide to assist with recoil management, as Sig Sauer It’s quite unusual and takes a little getting used to, but more on that later. Rather than focus on the front sight, the shooter focuses on the rear of the slide where the high-visibility green circle and dot can be seen. This apparatus features a green circle centered within a green ring to line up the shot. Instead of the usual front post and rear sight arrangement, the company milled out the slide and mounted a flush-fitting FT Bullseye fiber-tritium sight. The most drastic step, however, was the removal of the standard sights. There are some slight differences in the slide’s beveling, and both the magazine release and slide catch have been utterly minimized so as not to protrude and catch on the draw-though I’m not sure this was ever really an issue. Sig Sauer has offered SAS treatments on countless pistols in its catalog, but none so radical as the P365 SAS. Essentially identical in dimensions and function to the original, the latest variant features the company’s Sig Anti-Snag (SAS) treatment, which includes removing anything from the gun that might catch on clothing and hamper your draw. On the heels of that success, Sig has introduced two more variants, including the new P365 SAS that I received for this review. With a footprint smaller than the six-round Glock 43 but giving nothing up in features, the P365 quickly became the hottest show in town. Sig Sauer shocked the market when it introduced the diminutive P365 and its physics-defying 10-round magazine. So we took them to the range and gave them real run against each other. “Micro-compact” pistols like the SIG Sauer P365 SAS and Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP are setting the stage for a new era in concealed-carry handguns. Springfield Hellcat vs P365įortunately for us, recent introductions to the market have set new benchmarks in the capacity-versus-size game. Generally speaking, the smaller and more concealable a pistol is, the fewer number of rounds it can hold. The parameters for this complicated ballet of decision making are often defined by location, environment, attire and the carrier’s level of commitment. When it comes to everyday carry, we often have to balance a few different aspects of our pistols: Size, capacity, convenience and concealability.
