Clarification on SIG P365 Spring Replacement Intervals


This thread is the current top post in this subreddit and in this post, OP claims that he was told by Sig that P365 owners should "expect internal springs to fail at around 2K round" and that P365 owners would have to "expect to send it in every 2k rounds and have sig replace the parts, that anything other than them doing so voids the warranty."I'm not saying OP is making this up - his rendition of events could be completely true. I am posting this thread to clarify the specific maintenance schedule for the P365. I posted a couple of replies in the original thread, but I figured I needed to make a post only because the original post title is misleading, or at least not the "official" word from Sig. BTW, I have known people at Sig for about 18 years now but I am a certified Glock shill (and 2x certified Glock Operator - yes, it's a thing.)According to the SIG Armorer's Manual, there is only ONE part that needs replacing every 5,000 rounds - the recoil spring assembly (owner's manual says 2,500 out of an abundance of caution). There are no wear parts that need replacing any sooner than 10,000 rounds. Restated, other than the recoil spring, no part of the P365 needs to be replaced sooner than 10k rounds. The trigger bar spring that OP is probably referring to as the reset spring specifically has a scheduled maintenance replacement every 10,000 rounds, not 2,000. Check pages 75-77 of the P365 Armorer's Manual. I can't post pictures of the armorer's manual because it's ITAR regulated and if I did it, Sig would know. But just in case any of you have one, the maintenance schedule is at pages 75-77.Second, according to Sig, they would not void your warranty for the entire gun, just the portion of the gun that you replaced yourself, which makes sense. Even then, they said that - unofficially - they will often replace parts at cost if a user assembles them incorrectly.I'm not saying OP is making shit up, only that there must have been a very poorly informed CS rep [likely] or a miscommunication [just as likely]. And feel free to shit on the P365, of course, let's just make sure we are shitting on it for the right reasons. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3Gh2OkU
