I would have to see, but I bet I could make hits using the front sight and the window of the red dot. Maybe I don't worry about these things enough.
I really wonder about the scenarios people conjure up... Do all their optics mounted rifles/shotguns/hanguns have backup irons?
I own 2 RDS equipped pistols neither have backup irons
Watch the video already, jeez. Especially, starting at offset 06:21 where he says, "So the key element... really the single biggest thing that you have to realize is that the iron sights are still critically important on a handgun with a red dot optic."
And I might get one and love the thing at 3.7.
It won't be as concealable as the standard, and lose some of that appeal for some, me included, but for us old guys with poor eyes the frame mounted optics ready with today's red dot choices is huge IMHO. They will sell big I imagine. I'll likely get one when I get my pennies saved up.
One of the things I love about the standard 365 are the sights and my ability to shoot it very well with no readers on. Optics would increase that though.
Said the young man who can still see.
After handling a P-365 in the store I felt like the grip was a hair too short, and was glad they made an extended 12 round mag, but after shooting it discovered I shot the 10 round mag just as well. I carry it with the 10 round mag, and I don't even always have the 12 rounder with me, but when I do, it's the backup.

Thin but not too thin. This is it for me as well. I had a 9MM Shield and liked it, but the very slim for the front to back width made it want to turn/twist in my hand when pulling the trigger/firing it. I really had to concentrate to stop this. I shot it well, but with more mental effort than the P-365. The P-365 is a breeze to shoot well. Front sight squeeze. That's it.
I'll be shocked if I change my mind and do not buy a P-365 XL, with the red dot of course. No need for it (For me) without the red dot.
Oh, and I hope the Romeo Zero has a large dot, as they are so much faster.
Um, what issues remain that haven't been addressed?
From personal experience and everything I hear, all issues have been resolved.
I have no idea what "4 versions" you are talking about, and by all accounts they have addressed the early striker issue, but I beta tested an early P-365 and it is still running fine after a great many rounds. Simply no failures to feed, fire, or eject, after well over 2K rounds, and counting.
I bought my P365 just to test one myself after reading a bunch of extreme internet opinions.
