Fuse: Not your Dad's P365

[Bongo Lewi]

I fondled one of these while picking up my bargain Rock CZ clone yesterday. Impressive. It doesn't feel at all like the original P365. P365-FUSE

Thin is in with me and this gun has it. The texturing on the grip is fantastic. The slide is noticeably longer than your 'regular' P365. The frame has a rail and the slide has some nice, grippy serrations that also look great. It's easy to rack.

It comes with two 21 round mags (wow) and one 17. That's a lot of bullets in a relatively small gun. Not to mention Sig mags tend to be pricey so getting three is a bonus.

If I hadn't just ordered a BUL Tomahawk I would have bought this gun yesterday. SIG has outdone themselves with this model.

Agree. . . same size as my P365X-MACRO but I also agree the stippling are probably better than on mine, not so much better that I'd switch to the FUSE, though! I'm good with the 17 round mags of my P365X-MACRO with two spare mags available, plus I got an extra for a total of four to make range days more practical.

I’m getting tired of my G43X so, my next acquisition will be a 365 Macro or possibly now the Fuse. Maybe.

This belongs to a range buddy. The Fuse caught my attention recently. I noticed it in person today and asked if I could put a few rounds thru it. The photo is not great. I quickly snapped it on the counter in the range mantrap.

I have a hard time imagining the P365 as a full size gun, but here it is. The longer barrel and fancy frame does mitigate the snappy nature of 9mm in its smaller cousin. The slide has a long thin look that differentiates it from the classic P365. The cuts in the slide look great and make racking easy.

Trigger? It's a P365. Nothing more nothing less. I noticed nothing unique about the Fuse in that department. It's fine but nothing to rave about.

The laser treatment on the grip is cool and definitely grippy. For me it's a bit too aggressive. I didnt holster it but I can tell that if like me your uniform of the day does not include an undershirt and tighty whities, it's going to rub uncomfortably on your hide if you carry IWB.

Would I carry this gun? Sure. But not concealed. Some might like that it fills a gap between duty gun and compact. I eyeball compared it to my Echelon. it's slightly smaller in all directions but not by much. As a range gun for someone who is not competing... it's perfect. Home defense... probably also a good candidate.

Would I buy it? I'm less enthusiastic than I was based on the promo I received from Sig a week ago. Overall, good looking, shoots well, uses a proven operating system. I cant come up with anything negative. I just dont think an almost duty-sized P365 is something I need right now.
