Published Updated

Want to DIY Your SIG the UnPewFessional Way?

Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a gunsmith to both remove and reinstall an Sig Sauer P-365 back plate. It should seem simple enough, but Sig Sauer uses a locking tab on the striker sleeve that locks the back plate in place. Fools! You cannot defeat the UnPewFessional. In less than a couple minutes I will make you an expert on how to remove and reinstall that backplate with ease.
