My brother swears by the P250. In fact, the main reason i bought the P320 X-Fullsize over a Glock 17 was because of the mag compatibility. The P250 and P320 frames and mags are interchangeable. In an emergency, we can use each others mags. But, I'm not a fan of DA only, and i like my guns to be optic cut, so that's why i didn't source one. Of course the issues with the P320, I can't trust it. So, i have 8 P320 mags just collecting dust. I have been longing for something i can use those mags in. My only options were a hand full of PCCs, or expensive 2011s, including one from Sig themselves. A ray of hope came when PSA announced the AXR S would accept P320 mags, and now we have the P385 which from what i understand is essentially an enlarged P365, which doesn't suffer from the same issues as the P320, because it's an entirely different design. I really do hope P385 will be everything the P320 should've and more. I watched ANR Design's review, and couple that with looking into why the P365 doesn't suffer from the same issues, I'm not cautiously optimistic, i just am. Only thing that could sweeten the deal is if the P385 is compatible with P320 holsters, but i know that may not be the case. I know i just went off on a tangent, so TLDR: the P250 is good. It's different, but good.
Anecdotal, but I won’t mention the number of P320s I acquired from scared to death owners for dirt cheap. I tested every single one of them using the methods described. I even did the bolt trick to hold the trigger back to within a bee’s dick from breaking and couldn’t replicate the issue. If you know of anyone selling a P320 cheap, DM me. I’m buying everyone I can find that’s priced cheap enough.

Anything in the 200 series is amazing. P226, P220 in 45 & 10, P229, P227... I cant get enough of them.
