Shortly after, I became curious about the p320. This was post voluntary upgrade. I quickly fell in love. The ergos were great. It shot great for me. I quickly bought 2 more. The units I purchased were all carry models. I took advantage and purchased compact and subcompact grip modules, allowing me to set up the guns in 3 different forms very easily. I also played with after market grip modules and really liked the Wilson combat grip module. I sold off a bunch of glocks and though I found my new love.
But as I became more intimate with the design, I didn't really like what I saw. I also continued hearing reports of post recall (not a recall) issues.
I made the decision to ditch them. I don't think they are unsafe, but I think there are better designs. I think the striker block is not as good as those found on other guns. I think not including a trigger dingus was a mistake, and continues to be one. I also think having a fully tensioned striker is a bad idea, especially combined with the aforementioned issues. It also seems that with the design, if you got enough slop in your slide to fcu fit, could the striker slip of the sear? I think glock did it right, even though it's like holding a 2x4.
The p365 is similar, but there are slight differences. I added a manual safety to mine. To me there set up is comparable to carrying a single action pistol with no safety.
I am still willing to carry the p365, maybe because the ease of carry has spoiled me.
I still love there da/SA guns. But for strikers, having tried many various brands, I have just gone back to glock (besides my p365)
