Woooh, Egg on my face. Guess sometimes you need to read the fine print on the barrel. Mine is a Mark III, Stainless "real metal" Target model that is like previous versions I and II with the tedious cleaning and re-assembly by using a paper clip for disassembly and then while holding your left foot up and pointing the firearm to the floor and then to the ceiling while incrimently fitting in a big pin, it slides right back together ready to go. That quirk was fixed with the Mark IV. There used to be a kit for the Mark I, II, and III for about $70 that made the re-assembly like the Mark IV easy. I had gotten pretty good with holding my left foot in the air to make it work so it was not worth it to me. Ha Now just shoot a couple thousand rounds with a little oil spray down few places and a bore snake once in a while in between and then disassemble for a real cleaning when I have nothing else to do. Like with my 1911, mine seems to run better a little dirty.
My Ruger Mark III is my "go to" fun plinker for shooting targets or shootings cans dancing out as far as I can hit them as soon as they stop moving. I am old and can no longer hit them reliably in the air with a second shot. I live out in the country and can safely do that in at least two directions.
Best things I like about Ruger III is first it has the same grip angle as my 1911 (Glocks and others are different) and it has the same safety direction as my 1911. (many pistols are different.} Up for safe, down to fire. It will not slow me down if I should want to use it in a holster out in the woods or something and have a surprise.
Just as your (OP Plans) Sig P365 should be if you plan on it being an EDC firearm if you decide to carry condition one like I do with my EDC Colt 1911 I carry only if I have pants on like now at 4AM sitting here typing. I practice thumb push down during the draw so it does not slow me down, putting my thumb in the right position to fire. Ruger III safety is smaller, so I have to work with it. #2 My Mark III just has a good solid steel feel, holds steady with little recoil for a second shot. And with a thick barrel, accuracy that does not vairy with temp in fairly rapid firing with cheap .22 cartridges that I have not found with other .22 pistols.
Myself I am not a fan of Ambi safetys. Daily carried a Colt 1911 left side only safety for over 15 years, never found it off. I got a flashy Ruger SR1911 polished stainless with an ambi safety. Tried carrying it like my old Colt 1911 for a week. Ambi got clicked off twice with two different causes. Never again, it was not acceptable with my lifestyle. It is now used for my BBQ flash firearm. (Rosewood grips with polished stainless is outstanding to view.) Out of the safe to the event, back in the safe afterward before going to bed. Part of the long story, not for here. If you want more of my story and opinion PM me.
Enjoy all the information and opinions posted and your new firearms as you acquire them and report back. You have given several of us things to think about and post. I now have to wonder what condition would my 1908 JMB Colt .380 hammerless (Colt varified it was called their 1903 model in a .380 at that time) would be if it had been made in plastic. Prob less scratches than it now has. ha I also have to wonder what FFL method was used to transfer it from an original hardware store in TX who bought a shipment of 25 of them from Colt in 1923 was used for me to purchase it legally instate in OK a few years back. I guess if it got stolen from me and used in a crime that information could be important. Right?
We had previously frozen (boat sliced) lazy pamento cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalipelno peppers and chicken quarters on the grill, smoked a little with pecan twigs off my tree from last years wind storm I saved. They were great. I prob should post my little trick of how to keep the cheese from flowing out the end of the boat peppers for newbies who might have that problem the first time they try doing it.
Good luck to you with your firearms purchases, and to your next brisket or pork butt smoke.
