Sig just called and said my P365 is shipping today. I will report back when I have it. Will inlcude pictures as well.......
I've seen it come up on a few gun channels but the P365 has some issues with not going back into battery with 115 grain.

From what I have found that was supposed to have been corrected during the period when Sig stopped production and shipping. We shall find out. I will be using 115gr when I fire for the first time this week.
Interested to hear what you have to say. I am a big fan of my 9mm Shield as well. A higher capacity replacement for the Shield would be pretty nice.
I love my 365. It replaced my trusty Shield that I’ve carried for years. Better trigger, lighter, smaller, more accurate and holds 12+1 vs 8 rounds.

Ok, made it to the range. First impression of P365.....WOW! Put 100 rounds of range ammo through it (Fiocchi 155gr FMJ) and 10 rounds Gold Dot 124. Function was 100%. All 3 mags I have (10 round flush, 10 round extension & 12 round) worked perfect.
So, compared to my Shield 9mm I have to say the P365 will replace it if performs in more testing as it did today. I am just amazed at how well the P365 shoots for how small it is and the 12 round capacity. Here is a list of things I noticed when firing them back to back:
1. P365 and Shield 9 recoil felt pretty identical, which I think is very soft for the size of these guns.
2. I was more accurate at the start with the Shield, but this would be due to me being very familiar with it and I credit some of the accuracy to the outstanding Apex trigger kit in my Shield.
3. P365 trigger is excellent. No grit in take up, solid wall (little creep, but hey it is a striker trigger), crisp break. Heavier than my Shield Apex trigger, but smooth, so no issue.
4. X-Ray sights are very nice. I would prefer the yellow front sight to be orange, but thats just me.
5. P365 feels like it sits lower in hand over the Shield.
6. The only thing I never loved about the Shield was how narrow the grip is on the front and back. The P365 grip is more squared off and feels better.
7. P365 grip texture is perfect. My Shield is a Gen 1 with Talon ruberized grips and the P365 blows this set up away.
6. On the P365 I can't drop the mag with my firing hand. It is just the angle of the mag release and shape of my hand I guess. When I push the mag release it pushes on the palm of my hand on the other side. Pushing mag release with my support hand solves this. On my Shield I can drop the mag no problem. So, training issue is how I see it.
