Had a red dot laying around.
Checked to see if the holes aligned and wow, it was way too big.
Seems like need a "micro" red dot.

This leads to 2 questions.
1 - What are the red dot options for the P365. (Not 100% certain I even want one so don't want to dump $$$$$.)
2 - Not the most proficient with a red dot. Is going to an ever smaller version of a red dot going to be somewhat frustrating?
TBD

The "footprint" of the p365 is "shield/rmsc/k". There are tons of cheap red dots that fit. I have a holosun 507k, but I carry mine, so i wanted a better grade of sight. I would have got an EPS carry as enclosed dots are preferable for carrying.
What is the right number of guns? JUST ONE MORE!!

If you're ok with just a plain single dot reticle a 407K is less money and works out great on the 365.

I've got the Holosun 507k.  Green, with the ACSS Vulcan reticle.  That reticle makes it much easier to acquire the dot.  No frustration.

P365XL here with the 507k green dot.   I use the circle/dot reticle as it’s easier for me to pick up quickly and room distance if the circle is on the target, I’ve got a much higher % chance of a hit.

Huge fan of the circle dot on both rifle and pistol especially for rapid shooting.

I use the Holosun SCS Carry which is an enclosed green dot.  When using optics, remember that you should be target focused.  Don't try to look for the dot, it should just be there.

@JThompson

When you present, if you don't see the dot, you see a portion of the circle, and can quickly bring the dot on target.

The Holosun ACSS reticle and the 507K’s circle option are good options for someone learning the dot.  Once you get consistent presenting the gun in a way that always puts the reticle in a visible position, you can switch the 507K reticle to just the dot if you prefer that.

Just put this.


On this.


The screws included with the red dot worked in my 365 w/o the plate.
