Afternoon guys,

I have been carrying my 365 for about a year now, but recently pulled it out of rotation due to consistent issues at the range. The striker plate at the rear of the slide is popping out of place while firing and preventing the slide from going back into battery.

This has occurred at two range sessions. After the first instance I took the pistol home, stripped the slide, cleaned and reassembled making sure the striker plate was properly held in place by the striker. Took it back out recently to see if I had fixed the issue, but no luck. This has happened while shooting a variety of ammo; ~130PF USPSA loads, 147HST, 124 +P HST, 124+P Ranger T, Hornady Critical Duty, 115 FMJ Fiocchi.

Sig customer service was no help. No warranty because the pistol is used, so they immediately told me to purchase a new end plate. I asked the rep if this was a common problem (perhaps his justification for trying to sell me the plate). He said "No, not at all." Then why should I just blindly buy a new plate? I can send the gun in to be inspected, however I have to go through a dealer instead of shipping directly to Sig because "it's a non-compliant firearm".

Anyone else had this issue? And if so, what did you do to fix it? I have seen lots of posts about it however, the "solution" is always that the pistol was reassembled incorrectly.

Interesting. May I ask how old your p365?

is that sig's new policy? i thought after contacting them, they will send you a prepaid label, pack it and it take it to a hub (fedex/ups)? that's how i send my roster and off roster sig in the past.

That's what he told me. I asked for a label and he said it would have to go through a dealer. I explained that the firearms are compliant, you just can't buy them through a dealer. Didn't matter.

Based on SN I'm estimating Sep 2018. I'll check the box when I get home.

i'd try a different rep. sometimes you'll get a different result with a different rep.

DO NOT IN ANY WAY DO THAT.

If you have a dealer send in ANY off roster gun; this includes one that was at one time on the roster but is now longer on the roster FOR ANY REASON, it will need to be sent back to the same dealer. Since it's an off roster gun they will not be able to return it to you.

That Sig rep doesn't know what he's talking about. Either just buy the plate or talk to a different rep.

[Djantlive]

can't you just send in the slide? that's not a firearm

Does the off-roster law you cite also prohibit sending an off-roster or any other weapon(s) yourself to a gunsmith and/or for gunsmithing work and getting it back from them directly with no FFL involved?

If allowed under gunsmithing, maybe this would be a work-around sending to SIG yourdelf and getting it back. They also provide gunsmithing, action jobs, repairs, etc., don't they?

I still don't trust or like Ron Cohen, to send him/them anything until he and his gangsters are removed, since he took over with an agenda, he's been involved with and caused problems, leading to the sad loss and closure of the Germany based branch. We haven't even addressed the Q/C issues yet.

Are most off rosters this much trouble ?

asking, because I have a few.

OP, do you have this design https://youtu.be/5AvQg8w3UYU

[Palmaris]

I think this is old design https://youtu.be/zJ8iiaVKBz0

Yeah that looks like a design that could not allow the striker plate to slide down.

That is incorrect for a firearm that is brought in for repair. As long as the same serial number is returned, it would not need to be DROS'ed and thus, the roster is irrelevant. If they replaced the firearm with a new SN, I would be SOL at that point.

That is definitely a different design. Thank you for posting this.
