Because not everybody’s comfortable without a manual…

When SIG SAUER first released its P365 semi-auto pistol way back in January 2018, the roar of pleased acclaim from law enforcement and armed citizens alike was deafening. This slim, dainty handgun, purpose-built for concealed carry, features an innovative double-stack magazine that fields a remarkable 10+1 or 12+1 capacity in a microcompact pistol. It shoots beautifully, offers tremendous shot-to-shot reliability, and it’s perfect for your everyday carry (EDC). There’s only one thing that was “missing,” and that was an external manual safety mechanism. And as of right now, it’s not missing anymore:The award-winning everyday carry, high capacity, P365 pistol with Manual Safety (P365-MS) is now shipping and available in retail stores.

It’s my guess that, right at this moment, about half of you readers are taking exception with the word “missing,” and the other half are taking exception with the scare quotes I put around it. Of course, the question of whether or not a CCW firearm should or should not have a manual safety is and will remain one of the hottest topics of debate in pro-gun circles. For the purposes of this article, I’m just going to remain agnostic on the subject and note that, depending on an individual’s comfort level, circumstances, and local laws, some folks are better served with a manual safety while others aren’t. It’s that former group that should be sitting up and taking notice.

That’s because, if the lack of a manual safety was the stumbling block for you, it’s now been removed…revealing a truly innovative concealed-carry-specific pistol. This P365 micro-compact is smaller and lighter than other pistols in its class and features a high-capacity, patented modified double-stack magazine for a 10+1 full-size capacity, with 12-round magazine for a 12+1 capacity. The P365-MS variant includes all the features of the original award-winning P365 with the addition of an ambidextrous manual safety. The Massachusetts compliant variant of the P365-MS will be available and shipping to retailers in June.

The P365 Manual Safety Specs:

Total length: 5.8” Barrel length: 3.1” Weight (incl. magazine):18 oz.
Height: 4.3” Width:1.1” Sight radius: 4.9”

  1. My P365 is my new everyday carry, it’s accurate, lightweight and very concealable in a Tuxton Tactical IWB holster.

  2. I purchased the P365 last year and I LOVE IT! Easy to shoot, super accurate, reliable, light, slim. I switched from two Springfield Armory XD-S, one in .45 and the other in 9mm.
    The Springfields are great, but the SIG is way better in all respects, and lighter too!
    I’m considering buying a second P365, but not sure about the manual safety. I like the manual safety feature for sure.

  3. It took me months to get my hands on one of the 365’s but when I did I was not disappointed. Silky smooth trigger super concealable size and 10 round or 12 round or now a 15 round magazine can’t be beat Love this EDC. Also got Sig’s Lima green laser and Tulster’s IWB… Just super

  4. I am a diehard 1911 .45 ACP fan and the Sig 365 is my first foray into the world of the “striker 9’s” I kinda fell in love with the little 9 after firing it the first time and feeling the short reset.
    It is now my EDC Carry gun and for someone who relied o a 1911 for years that is saying something!

  5. Good news, the MS is the reason I purchased a P-938 several years ago. An extended magazine gives me 7+1. I may have to rethink my EDC.

    1. It will be interesting to see what you decide. I think the 938 has a better trigger vs more capacity in the 365.
