"This feels as close to a P365 as an airsoft could and is a good way to train on the feel of the gun if you want recoil instead of dry-firing the real thing.

"My son had a lot of fun shooting this gun with his friends. It is very realistic and has some weight to it with the heavy metal. The gun shoots really nice. Nobody got hurt because of parental supervision.

"Good for practice and to be added to your collection of cool replicas!
Realistic, same size as real one.

"Great Purchase!
Great for plinking or battle. This airsoft cycles each round very well and makes a loud co2 pop every time it's fired. The airsoft feels just like the real gun minus it being a little lighter and also it is great practice for using the real gun

"This pistol is great for backyard training practices. I got this as a training aid for my wife who has the P365. The look and feel of the airsoft gun is pretty much identical to the 9mm. I wish the slide blow back was a more aggressive, but for running off of 12g CO2 cartridge it's not too bad.

"Very happy with my purchase… definitely recommend it. Great buy

"Works as advertised. I will follow the suggestion from another reviewer and put a drop of oil on the cartridge point and each CO2 cylinder. It loses CO2 overnight.
Initially fumbled with loading bbs. Then discovered the spring latches down and holding the magazine nearly vertical makes loading from a small dish easy. Then release the spring latch.
It is smaller and much lighter than my P365macro. I’m not sure the blowback feature does much. I have yet to shoot my P365 so do not have much comparison but recall the kick and noise from the demo, although modest compared to some of my other pistols, is significantly more. I plan to shoot about 1,000 bbs before going to the range with expensive 9 mm bullets.
Overall excellent training tool.

"Excellent trainer for the real P365
I own a P365 and the resemblance is spot on as is the feel. It is much lighter that the real version mostly because of the mag weight full of 9mm cartridges so don’t expect the heft but both guns being empty they weigh within ounces of each other. I first cleaned the barrel and got some black color on the patch. Don’t know if it’s lube or dirt but it never hurts to clean all new guns when you get them. I also put a drop of lube on the CO2 inlet port and on the white seal and also a dab on the end of the CO2 capsule for good measure. I then shot 150 rounds non stop without a mishap except my own fumbling of BB’s while loading the magazines. The BBs need to be loaded 1 at a time rather than a rapid loading port of some kind. This is tedious and it would be nice to have a funnel of some kind to facilitate loading. I may just do that by taking a straw of the right size and melt the end in a way that would only allow 1 BB to come out at a time, then it may make it easier but there is a little gate at the loading port that in the open position you can get BB’s in easier but just take your time with it and it gets easier each time. I am not sure if it’s the Crosman lube I used but I am not experiencing any of the issues that I been reading about. Many complained of the CO2 threaded base that holds the CO2 bottle and you have to be careful not to cross thread the threaded portion integrated into the magazine for it is relatively easy to do so the first few times but becomes less of an issue the more they are used so be ultra careful not to cross the threads or you will have to replace the magazine, not the gun, but just the magazine. I read earlier reviews that said the threads were stripped out and the gun was destroyed and unable to use but that must have been an older design and that can’t happen with this gun, but the magazine will be useless if you cross thread that threaded portion that goes into the bottom of the magazine.
The accuracy is 2 1/4” at 10 meters using Hornady black anodized BB’s. I would get an occasional flyer. The first couple clips were in the 5” range but as soon as I figured out the trigger, it went much better. The gun is much louder than I expected. I have several others that are not as loud as this one but it’s still backyard friendly.
The one thing I can say about it is they are identical to the real McCoy and as a training weapon it’s just simply a must have, especially with the rising cost of ammunition and also going to the gun range to shoot is not feasible or too far away. This is a guarantee that your shooting will improve because of the ability to train and shoot in the privacy of your back yard.
Pros: Accurate at 10 meters with 3” groups using both Hornady black anodized BB’s and also the silver ones that came with the pistol but I think they must be Sig brand. It has a very realistic feel and close to weight of my real P365 enpty. I got it for $76 and for a trainer, it’s a no brainer. It holds and carries like the real thing.
Things to watch: Those threaded inserts at the bottom of the clip that holds the CO2 capsule can cross thread very easily so be ultra careful of that. If it strips out by cross threading there is no fix but to buy another magazine for $20. It’s worth what I paid but some are selling for $129 and that puts you into a whole different group of BB pistols at that price range.

"Good for training.
This is my 100 round review, and although that isn’t many shots through this BB gun, it’s great for first impressions and I already have a good opinion on it.
My overall opinion is that you should only buy this if you own or thinking about owning a real Sig p365. The size of it is true which makes it great for practicing drawing from a holster and sight acquisition. However, if you just want a BB gun to shoot and plink around, get something else.
Pros: this thing looks identical to the actual p365 which makes it a great training tool for owners and potential owners. The trigger pull is nice, short and crisp making it very easy to shoot. I also appreciate the full size drop out mag. For a BB gun its size it’s nice to have.
Cons: honestly, there’s a lot I don’t like about this gun in terms of the way it shoots and performs as a BB gun. First, the accuracy is terrible. I’ve read accuracy improves over time and I hope that is true. I own a umarex glock 19 that I use for plinking and from 10 yards I can get about a 3in grouping. With the p365, the grouping is at least 6in. I’m not a great shooter, but I know I’m not that bad. I can actually see with good lighting the bb travel off line sometimes when I shoot it.
It also cannot hold CO2 very well, and this is my biggest complaint apart from the accuracy. After putting in a fresh canister of co2, I was able to get 3 mags (about 40 rounds) before it noticeably dropped. Even though there was gas left, there wasn’t enough to rack the slide all the way back to reset the gun to fire again. This caused a bunch of double feeds and by then you just need a new co2. It also cannot store co2 over a long period of time. I left an almost completely full canister over two days to see if it would hold. The first shot fired, and that was it. Literally all the gas was expelled on that first shot, there was a big cloud and the slide stayed back for almost half a second. So I cannot shoot one mag, let it sit, then come back to it a few days later to shoot again.
If Sig were to make some changes, I wished they would remove the blowback feature (even though it’s cool), allowing the gun to shoot more reliably and more rounds with one cartridge of co2. Also they need to find a way to make this thing shoot relatively straight.
Overall again, it’s great if you want to use it as a training tool if you own the real firearm. As much as I want to like it, I can’t recommend it to anyone who just wants a BB gun to plink around with. 5 stars just because I fit the category of someone who uses it to train.

"Just like my 9mm version!
I was going to say it was just like the “real” gun but we should remember it is a real gun and should be treated as such even if it’s a BB gun.
I got this for my 11 yo son as as he has mastered the Red Ryder and wanted to try a pistol BB gun. Visually is is identical to the 9mm version and is just a bit lighter. It works great and we’ve had no issues with it. Feeding 20 bb’s one at a time is a bit tedious for my big fingers but not a big deal. Changing mags is standard method. You will notice some misfires as the co2 gets toward the end of its life about after 4 reloads or 80 BB’s. Put a little oil on the co2 cartridge cap threads for easier tightening.
It’s fun to shoot!

"Got this from a BOA.
It's ok if you want to train with it. But I'm used to green gas pistols, so it took me some time to learn how to use and field strip it since it's very different. Thanks to many Youtube videos that helped me how to use it and tech it.
Externally, it feels nice to hold and the grip is very... grippy. Mag release feels almost like a real one with a sort of spring to it.
No hop up adjustment, but for close range it's pretty accurate.
One thing that threw me off is how it actually works. It doesn't chamber BBs normally. The trigger pull actually loads your next round and not slide cocking; that's just for pulling down the hammer to fire. Also, if you hold the gun the wrong way that the mag pushes up slightly, it will jam. So, rest your pinky on the bottom of the extended mag grip pulling towards you slightly and it should cycle fine.
Blowback is punchy despite not being a traditional blowback action thanks to the CO2.
Magazine is a bit of a pain to load, so maybe grab a few extra. They're very cheap, so not really a bad thing.
Overall, it's decent. Not my first choice to play airsoft with, but if you have the real one and want to train with this one then I think it's good.

"Did not buy mine on Evike, but I own one of these and have fielded it. This gun is definitely a fun little pocket rocket. Let me be absolutely clear about one thing though: You are at a severe disadvantage while using this gun. CO2 will not last in these mags even if you're not shooting it. This is a major issue that I and several others have reported about it. That doesn't make it any less fun, nor would I recommend it less. I'm just saying that if you're going for pistol kills, or a reliable side arm, get an Elite Force H8R instead. (Cheaper, more reliable, and all around better performance)
Now that being said, there's a lot to be admired about this pistol. First of all, there are very few airsoft guns as small as this that still provide a hard kick from the slide recoiling. I've shot a real P365 and the kick on this gun is somewhat comparable to the real deal. If you own a real one but can't train with it as often as you'd like, then this is going to be a solid solution to that issue. It has a very respectable range for a gun with essentially a stump for an inner barrel, you can definitely compete with Hi-Capas in this category if you learn the arc of the gun's firing pattern. It's not always going to shoot very hard, but when you hit people from within 35 feet, they're gonna know it. Finally, you're going to turn heads with it's size, especially when you get kills. For plinking, I have very few full size rifles which are more fun than this pistol.
Overall, this is what I would categorize as a toy, that can be deadly in the hands of an experienced player. The average person, especially a noob, is not going to find success on the field with this gun. While I would still recommend it for it's sheer fun factor, this is not a beginner friendly pistol.
Pros:
1) It's an absolute blast to plink with.
2) It's a massive "I'm better than you" when you dome someone across the field, who's using a gun 10 times this one's size
3) It has genuine training utility for real P365 users.
4) It fits in a wide range of holsters.
5) It's relatively cheap for a good Gas blowback pistol.
Cons:
1) It's almost worthless to buy extra mags, because by the time your primary runs dry and you've shot the whole 1st mag, your spare mags will very likely be nearly out of gas (this seems to be an inherent flaw in the magazine construction, not just poor quality control.)
2) You're pretty much outgunned by everything else on the field.
3) Slide has a weird quirk where it will lock back without tripping the slide catch. (A simple tap on the back of the slide is usually enough to return it to battery.)
4) There's much better guns out there for the same or better price point, which fulfil the same role as this gun. Again, see Elite Force H8R.
5) This gun is going to be a bad experience for new players if you give this to them as a loner. I've seen some people buy these as inexpensive secondaries for their friends, and it usually doesn't work well. (Again, the skill floor on this gun is much higher than many others. The skill ceiling is also much higher too.)

"The textured grip is fantastic.
This is more of a half-blowback pistol. There is no blowback housing/loading nozzle.
ATTENTION: Before you attempt to "take-down" the pistol
1) Remove the mag
2) Cock/Charge it, DO NOT FIRE IT _----
3) ENGAGE MANUAL SAFETY _---- (Don't disengage, until reassembled)
4) Apply pressure to end of guide rod while rotating take-down lever downward, through to forward, it'll be approx 120*ish from starting position.
5) Pull slide rearward, up and forward, DONE!
___ VERY IMPORTANT: The guide rod spring is actually slightly tapered, confirm that the small end is towards the washer at the base of the guide rod, the large end goes inside the front of the slide/muzzle end ___
If the guide rod spring is installed INCORRECTLY, the first coil can actually slip past the end of the guide rod and jam the pistol up, if/WHEN this happens just push the offending coil back behind the end of the guide rod (I used a small paper-clip), remove the slide and flip the spring.
I get 4-5 BB refills per mag before I need to swap in another CO2 bulb. Fixed "hop" kinda, there appears to be a tiny round nub inside the inner barrel...this could maybe be mod'd for more hop...
The biggest weakness of this pistol (beside the lack of adjustable hop) is that the mag body, where the CO2 bulb installs and the metal cap threads into, appears to be a type of nylon/plastic. DO NOT CROSS THREAD. DO NOT DROP MAGS.
I have 3 mags for this pistol, so far. All work great, no issues.
Overall, I like it and I'm strongly considering getting a 2nd, cuz akimbo, LOL.
