Had a weak moment during black Friday and bought one, don't even like striker fired guns but after reading all the hype I figured I'd try one. Especially since this model is available with a thumb safety which appeals to me. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but I'm wondering what flavor of ammo fellow owners have found their's like.
 
Mine eats everything, I am carrying 124 Gr standard pressure HSTs. I have shot a couple of boxes or so through it along with other JHPs, JSPs, & plated "HP" bullets.

I slowly bought ten 50 round boxes of them to stash away.
 
I have not found a load mine doesn't like with somewhere between 3 & 4K rounds. All hand loads, a little of everything but mostly 147 and 124 JHP.
 
Mine shoots any FMJ I feed it. And i choose to use the SIG 365 V-crown hollowpoints. Just my choice-they’re pretty cheap at academy.
 
I use the 150 grain Federal Micro HST load in my LC9, I’m sure it’ll work well in your new 365.

Congrats on buying a great carry gun! :thumbup:

Stay safe.
 
I have found my 365 feeds anything i have put through it. including home cast pc bullets.

I carry HST
 
The P365 is my 24/7 pocket carry and mine has been 100% reliable with everything from 115 grain JHP factory to 124 and 147 grain cast handloads.
 
The Federal Tactical Bonded +P 135 gr seems to expand and hold together adequately in anything from the P365 (3.1") to the MP5 (8.9"). It seems to be on the lighter end of recoil for +P. I have a good source locally for them and they work in everything so it tends to be my round of choice.

I find a lot of decent choices in 9mm. Even the WWB 115 gr JHP seems to work pretty well in shorter barrels.

I would much prefer WWB well tested for function to something to expensive for someone to test adequately.
