    Compared to the SIG Sauer P290, the P365 is slightly larger and has a lighter striker trigger pull of 5.5 to 6.5 lb f (24 to 29 N) versus the P290 at 9 lb f (40 N). [4] The P290RS has a restrike capability, but also has a long double-action only trigger pull. The takedown system is similar to that of the P320, in that a lever is turned down ...

    The weight has been reduced to 9.27 kg (20.4 lb), 2.23 kg (4.9 lb) lighter than the M/62. Its rate of fire of around 500–650 rounds per minute (RPM) [ 31 ] is significantly less than the Danish M/62's 1,200 RPM, but it allows for better control, greater accuracy, more conservation of ammunition, more versatile firing positions, and less risk ...
