It makes me wonder if the P365 has a similar condition if the fire control group is a similar design.

The fire control unit on the P365 is modular, just like the P320, but they do have their differences. The P365 is actually smaller and not interchangeable. While the engineering ideas behind them might be similar, it seems like the P365 has avoided the issues that the P320 has faced, which is definitely a relief for anyone considering this smaller option.

I just can’t wrap my head around it. Glock puts together this pistol with only 11 parts. Meanwhile, Sig seems to go for this whole complicated vibe that has a real chance of shooting your leg instead

Okay so that's it, no more Sig for me.

The military testing program is very stringent and ran thousands upon thousands of rounds through the M17 & M18 (P320) with no issues. Sig has won in court every time when jurors see real evidence instead of hearsay. The airman who supposedly accidentally shot himself while holstering his was actually murdered and a fellow airman arrested after review of the evidence by the Air Force.
There is nothing wrong with them.
I have both a P365 and a P320 and they are both great guns.

Sig has not won in court every time. Hearsay is not admissable except in a very limited number of circumstances. Those limited exceptions are most often not the drivers of a jury decision.
The USAF death was not due to the pistol. That has been definitively established.
That said, there are enough anecdotal reports of UID incidents that are pretty clearly not due to operator negligence to make me pause until the issue has been more thoroughly vetted.
I have parked my 5 320s, and my daughter's, until that happens. Great pistols with many in use w/o an issue. I am just being concerned. It all may turn out well for Sig.
Others may take a different approach and I respect that.
The 365 does not share the exact same architecture in the FCU. No reports of similar issues with that platform. Mine, and my daughter's, are still in rotation.
