One I had was nice, reliable, accurate. Too small for my preference so I moved it on.
Can't say how many times I thought this ... for a while.

That's right about where the "plain 365" and some of the 365XL have been hovering, at least in retail pricing.
$800 is around where all the "cut for optics" seem to be clustered.
$950-960 seems to be where all the Romeo Zero fitted one all seem to cluster.
My LGS has them for $599 with no RDS. Not a bad price, but still a little high.

Bought a P365 when they first came out, hate striker fired guns but the thumb safety sold me on this model.
It's perfect for CCW on hot summer days when packing my beloved 1911 is impractical.
Just recently, last couple of weeks, I found a P365 XL with the Romeo Zero sight and the manual thumb safety, had to buy it because I never had a red dot sight on a handgun.
So far I have shot 230 rounds out of the pistol without a single hiccup but I can shoot the standard 365 better.
At first I thought it was the red dot giving me trouble but in reality it's the trigger on the XL.
Need more practice with the pistol but with 9mm ammo going for $40 bucks a box I'll have to start reloading for it, which is a real bummer as all my small pistol primers are spoken for.

I've had one for a cpl years now...the original with no add'l safety...and found it to be an outstanding carry gun. For my use, in an OWB holster of my own design, it rides virtually unseen at the 4 o'clock position under most any shirt or jacket. I dress around the gun.
Here are the positives in my experience:
It's accurate (~1" at 10 yds from a two handed Weaver stance...slow fire).
It's reliable...I honestly can't recall it bobbling any rounds from FMJ's to LSWC's and JHP's. It's about as close to 100% as a mechanical device can be in my use.
It has great carry sights. That big green meat ball front blade really shows up in daylight, and the tritium dots do the job at night.
Its ergonomics fit my size "L" hands to a T and do as well with my wife's.
Designed as a micro that'll carry 10+1 rounds...it does that to perfection.
Its trigger is better out of the box than any Glock I've ever shot...and improves with use!
Negatives: The magazines are difficult to load till you've done it few times and the spring or whatever loosens up.
Mag changes under stress are more difficult due to the small, recessed mag release button. Lastly, if you want to pocket carry it, it's a bit heavy...probably the same complaint for a woman's purse...that's my wife's gripe.

When she's out shopping it's a nice idea to let her know where the lower prices are. I got my 365 from Academy in stock $499, their normal price. I found it with those gun shopper search engines, same as the Canik I found locally. And cheaper than the internet plus no FFL fees. This is a high demand market right now, prices are trending slowly up as demand empties the shelf, and yes, you will find some vendors exploiting it.
Vendors and regions are ranging lower and higher, YMMV. Keep in mind that the prices you can find presently are generally higher because the product isn't moving as quickly as those who price competitively then sell out within a few hours or a day. They have to wait to get a resupply according to their pro rated numbers which are based on their pre panic turnover. A larger vendor with a lot of sales might trickle in more guns at cheaper prices yet appear to be out of stock more often. Yup, that's about how it works. The smaller guys with higher prices have stock - because the savvy shoppers aren't interested. They keep searching or wait.
I have watches I've bought used for under $100 online while that same website offers new in the box for up to MSRP. Nobody is buying the MSRP, it sits until it's the last new one to be found anywhere, and years later, it finally moves. Quoting prices at random from the internet doesn't tell you much, it's not what is being offered, it's what they are actually selling. Like Gunbroker relistings - they just clog up the system with no turnover. I concur wholeheartedly when an auction site wants to charge for relisting an item when the first sale expires, especially a commodity product. And I have no truck with merchandise sitting on the shelf in a high demand market where it doesn't move - that is exploitative pricing and the buyers are mostly very aware of it. it can just sit there and be a drag on that vendors profits with no turnover or sales. Businesses that do that aren't making good decisions and in the rough and tumble retail market they won't last.
BTW even the savvy Rolex distributors are sold out. The few in stock? Nobody wants to pay for them, even at Rolex prices.
