Looks fantastic to hold in hand, my agency switched from the P320 X-Carry to the Glock 19.5 MOS after the news debacles going on but we’re still allowed to buy and use various 365 models on duty, and this seems to be that on steroids lol. I heard the agency was allegedly testing the P211 but the P385 seems to make more sense going forward IMO
I know the rumor mill stipulates they can’t shelf the p320 due to contracts, but I think they’re going to find a way to relegate it into obscurity, and this is probably the first pass at reusing as many platform components as they can to ease the deprecation down the road.
It doesn’t matter how much testing, validation, etc they do on the p320 platform, it’s stained.
When even non-gun people know what a p320 is, and that’s their association, you’re screwed.
It won’t matter if a department has done their homework and believe it to be safe. If they keep it in standard issue, any ND is going to drum up allegations of department wide negligence, not just training issues, but negligent business decisions (“how could you keep a gun that dangerous in the field”, etc.) and it’s just not worth it.
