SIG P365
The pistol that redefined what could be packed into a tiny frame. Until it arrived, small meant six rounds and a partial grip — it brought ten rounds and a nearly full grip in the same volume. Almost every carry pistol released since is trying to do what it did.
What's good about it
- One of the best size-to-capacity ratios on the market
- Exceptionally slim grip circumference — a real solution for small hands
- Quality night sights from the factory, not plastic
What's less good
- The base version has no optic cut
- Small, delicate internal parts — needs more regular maintenance than a Glock
- Fewer holsters and parts in Israel than Glock

- The sights it ships with are good enough not to replace
Common complaints

Generations and versions
How to mount an optic on it
The SIG P365 has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
