Got me a p365 in an attempt to be less likely to print, its a fraction of a mm thinner than my current edc, which is also a 10+1. But holy smokes, nearly impossible to fully load the mags by hand. I ordered me one of those magilla mag loaders, should arrive in a day or three. Looking forward to getting to the range, these mags be so tight, while ejecting them by hand the 5th or 6th jams. Hoping this doesnt happen during live fire, ill enf up have just another useless paperweight and have to attempt to lose that fraction of a mm from my gut....

I would suggest not loading to the +1 until your mags are broken in. In my experience, they will loosen up a bit with use.

From what I have read, and heard, the mags being hard to hand load is a common thing. The Uplulla is a good remedy. I don’t recall people having feeding issues however despite thst issue. There are a few people on here who own them and can speak to it I’m sure.

I have gone back and forth on getting one myself. I have a G42 for the occasional times I need something that size so have opted to save the money. People love them though. Good luck and enjoy.

My new ShieldPlus mags reguired lots of pressure exerted on on the loader to get number 13 in the mag. The difficulty in getting those mags to seat on a closed chamber was exceeded by that of racking the slide. Much easier to load with the slide locked.

Uplula's sit in my range bags. I've got a single and a double for various mags. Been using them for coupled of decades now. No more load thumb since then.

As has been mentioned, many mags are tough to load the last one or two rounds. I'll load full capacity with the uplula and let them sit for about a week. No longer a problem by hand to full capacity. Only some guns require this procedure, never met a single stack I couldn't load to full by hand.

Love my "Lulas!" Not only does it save my fingers, it speeds up the process quite a bit.

I have a 22 round 40 S&W mag (probably going to get a few more) that I have literally dented the case on the round below when getting that pesky 22nd one in the magazine.

I use the Uplulla as well on my P365 (and my Shield Plus). I can get all the rounds including a +1 in. It's my EDC.

I have a 365 and love it a lot, I also have to use the Uplulla loader , but I have to use it on most of my magazines.
I think you are going to like shooting the 365.

I have my 365 set up to run 12 round mags, and a 365X that came set up for 12 round mags.
My Canik Rival Dark Side came with 18 round mags, and my M&P9s have 17 round mags.

I’ve owned an Uplula for going on 15 years now, and I’d never be without one!
I can’t imagine shooting matches or training and having to load all my mags “by thumb.”

I use the 12 round mags with my 365s and back that up with the 15 rounders. The flush ten round mag is great to use when carrying in a Sneaky Pete. (y)

The 17 round mags for my P365X-MACRO are a bear to load by hand, but no problem with the included mag loader or my Maglula. In the approximately 700 rounds through it so far, I've never experience a mag related malfunction and only experienced one malfunction period (a stovepipe) in the very first mag through the gun as I was getting used to the proper hold of this smaller pistol than any other semiauto I own. 🤠

Hey thanks for the heads up. Didn’t realize they made a factory 17 round mag. Now I have to get a few. ;)
Not positive but I think the 17 round mags only work in the P365X-MACRO. Also wanting to get at least one more (they're pricey, too), but so far they're OOS. :unsure:

I just purchased two and they come with sleeves for the 365, 365xl and the 365 macro.

P365-XMACRO 17RD MAGAZINE

$128.38 for two mags.
Great. Glad my memory was faulty on compatibility with the MACRO. I'm still waiting for the coupon from SIG for the free magazine and box of Sig ammo that comes with my purchase and I registered for back in August. :unsure:
