P365 question

[Featureless]

I want one but I can't get past the Californicate LCI bastardization. The gash in the slide extending into the barrel looks problematic.  How much shiite, hot gas and unburned powder blows out of the chamber?  And on to any optic you might have on the slide?

Cause "hot gas and unburned powder" doesn't blow out of the chamber of any gun without a CLI/LCI

If it bothers you, just get a non-CA slide. Also, note that until recently, standard P365 barrels all had the same exact CLI/LCI cut in the barrel. Most of the off-roster Sigs have the same exact cut in the barrel. I think the newest off-roster P365s no longer include the CLI/LCI cut in the barrel as standard.

I don't notice any powder residue on the optic of my X-macro with a barrel that has the CLI/LCI cut. But I imagine if you shoot enough rounds you'll eventually get some residue on the optic, that would be the same for any gun regardless of if it has a CLI/LCI or not.

That's good information, thank you.  I considered a new slide and barrel, when I looked at the Sig website I did notice the standard barrel had a notch cut into it.  But it's too pricey and if I ever had to use the weapon to defend myself, I'd be in the hot seat when it's discovered I "modified" it.    I'll pass on the purchase of the "CA compliant" model and keep an eye out for the real deal off roster. I absolutely cannot tolerate the bastardization the bastards in Excremento impose on firearms.  They can go piss up a rope.

If you just don't like the white-lettered billboard, you can either blacken them out, try removing it, replace the optics plate with a free state one, or mount a red dot.  I have several pistols with loaded chamber indicators in the same location, ca spec and non-ca spec, and have never experienced blowback or any other issues.

I have more issues with the external safety than the LCI

wife has p226 mk25 (ca compliant) and no problem with lci and barrel slit blowback.

True to my word, I bought one, it's in jail but I'll pick it up before the weekend and hit the range Saturday.  Then I'll replace the popup LCI with this https://lurchmfg.com/products/p365-lci-delete-plug and replace the cover plate for starters.  I think the FCU can go into a different frame, replacing both the safety & mag disconnect.   We'll see if it works for me in the first place.  Not all handguns do.
I bought a G19 awhile back and sold it 3 weeks later; because between the G17 & G26 (I own both) the G19 combines the worst of both.

Put about 1000 round with my CA365 and never needed to clean the optic. This is a made up issue.

Congratulations!  Glad you found some work-arounds.  I think you'll really enjoy your pistol.

For me the worst Ca mandated feature that needs to go is the mag "safety".  The one on my Hellcat actually caused a hang-up that lead to a safety concern when showing clear during a training session.  It was a procedural issue, not really a design or mechanical problem, but still not a good thing on a carry pistol.  It's gone now. The external safety is more of a personal preference.  The LCI and printed "warning" are more annoyances that constantly remind me how petty this state government can get with its hate for the 2a community.

Good think, anything you don't like with the CA365 can be easily removed or replaced with parts that you like. I personally won't buy a striker without a thumb safety, as my daily carry is 1911 and I used to it - It's very natural for me. all the other CA "safety" add-ons are useless, and hopefully nobody relays on them before pulling the trigger. since they didn't cause any malfunctions with the P365, I let them be, otherwise I'd remove them.

Picked it up yesterday; the LCI is short; tiny.  Not a 1" bar like on my P229 that says "LOADED WHEN UP".  Looking forward to some range time this weekend.
