About this product
The SIG Sauer P365 380 ACP 3.1″ 10+1 MA Compliant is a micro-compact striker-fired pistol chambered in .380 ACP designed specifically for Massachusetts-compliant concealed carry. This variant maintains the P365's renowned reliability while incorporating the reduced recoil of .380 ACP and Massachusetts-specific regulatory features. At 15.70 ounces unloaded with a 3.1-inch barrel, it balances concealability with shootability.
What is the SIG Sauer P365 380 ACP used for?
This pistol is designed for Massachusetts-compliant concealed carry where reduced recoil and compact dimensions are priorities. The .380 ACP chambering produces approximately 30% less felt recoil than 9mm variants while maintaining adequate defensive ballistics. Combined with its 4.20-inch height and 1.10-inch width, it disappears under clothing without printing.
How does the P365 380 compare to the Springfield Hellcat?
The P365 380 offers superior recoil management and Massachusetts compliance where the Hellcat lacks factory MA-compliant options. Springfield's Hellcat in 9mm generates roughly 18% more muzzle energy but requires aftermarket modifications for Massachusetts legality. SIG's optic-ready slide and included manual safety give it advantages for regulated-state carry.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 15.70 ounces with dimensions of 5.80 inches long, 4.20 inches high, and 1.10 inches wide. The 3.1-inch cold hammer-forged barrel contributes to the compact profile while maintaining accuracy within 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards. These measurements make it 0.3 inches shorter overall than the standard P365 9mm.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for duty use or shooters prioritizing maximum terminal ballistics. The .380 ACP generates approximately 40% less muzzle energy than modern 9mm defensive loads, making it unsuitable for barrier penetration requirements. Competition shooters should consider our Stevens 334 in .308 Win for long-range precision.
What's in the box?
You receive two 10-round Massachusetts-compliant magazines (one flush, one extended), cable lock, and owner's manual. The optic-ready slide comes with protective cover plates, and the manual safety is factory-installed. Total package weight with accessories is approximately 2.1 pounds.
Is the P365 380 worth it at $523.99?
At $523.99, this represents solid value for Massachusetts residents needing a compliant micro-compact. You're paying approximately $75 over the non-MA version for compliance modifications that would cost $150+ aftermarket. For shooters wanting more versatility, our Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun offers multi-purpose capability at similar pricing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard P365 holsters?
- Yes, it fits most P365 holsters due to identical frame dimensions. The 1.10-inch width and 4.20-inch height match the 9mm version precisely. Use Kydex holsters from Vedder or Tulster for optimal retention.
- Does it fit P365 XL slides?
- No, the P365 380 uses proprietary slide geometry different from XL variants. Attempting XL slide installation creates unsafe headspace issues. SIG Sauer confirms cross-compatibility requires factory modification.
- How long does shipping take to Massachusetts?
- Massachusetts shipments require 7-10 business days for compliance verification. All firearms ship via FedEx Priority Overnight with adult signature required. Contact our compliance team at 888-555-ARMOR for expedited processing.
- Does this work with Holosun 407K optics?
- Yes, the optic-cut slide accepts Holosun 407K/507K footprints without adapters. Mounting requires #6-32 screws measuring 0.40 inches in length. Zeroing typically takes 15-20 rounds at 10 yards.
