I like the P365 and P365 XL pistols. But I gag at the cost of extra magazines. I have several spares for each and I can afford them, but it's feels like a rip to pay upwards of $50 per, plus shipping, tax, etc. Glock factory mags are less than $20 or so, and MagPul even less.
I ordered 2 ProMag 12rd. P365 magazines for $17.99 plus tax/ship. Total about $40. Like many I've had mixed results with ProMag products so I was skeptical.
So far I consider them a good value. Mine both came with both floorplates so they work in either the P365 and the XL models. About 4 uses for each through both guns, no problems. Lock back is good, feeding flawless.
They don't look built to Sig quality, they have a welded rear seam and the forming isn't as sharp. Whether they last long term isn't clear but I don't see any obvious reason they wont. But for range use I like them very much and plan to buy a couple more.
ETA: Mine will hold 12 but it isn't worth the force required even with a Lula. I load them with 10 or 11. Fully loaded they are very hard to insert and lock.
This also applies to Sig mags, in my view all of these small gun magazines are victims of the hi-cap marketing wars. They are over stressed and more likely to fail early if routinely crammed with their full claimed capacity. So I seldom load any of these small gun hi-cap mags to their limit.
