Though the 320 is the Carry variant, it wasn’t purchased with that in mind ... rather, it was yet another .357 Sig to add to the fold. My mistrust combined with Exeter’s ambivalence - i.e., a voluntary, not mandatory 320 (upgrade) recall - gives me pause. And then I take an otherwise fantastic 320 out for photos &/or to the range & the ambivalence re the pistol is compounded. Truthfully speaking, Exeter’s handling of the situation is what sticks in my craw ... more so than the 320’s discharge woes. Hence, its’ replacement will likely be a German/W. German Sig (Walther PP Super?) should I decide to part ways with the 320 — that said, a German decision would be based entirely on (Exeter) sentiment.
In regards to keeping the 320, it’s definitely the other attraction you speak of. Sig Exeter/discharges notwithstanding, the P320 is an excellent pistol that’s inherently accurate, has great ergonomics & an outstanding trigger.
You’ll get no NH-vs-Germany arguments out of me. My NH Classic P-Series pistols run every bit as well & are as highly regarded as their German-made safemates. And those 220s are my favorites ... in the wonderful world of Sigs, P220s are in world unto themselves.
A 220 with a Hogue grip is about as good as it gets (for me).
Just got back from range today. As wonderful as the 226 Mk-25 was, my old 220 was just in another league.
If only it weren't so big and heavy, I'd still carry it. Some days, I sure do think about it. Its DeSantis sits in the closet, reminding me.
But a 365 weighs about as much as a loaded 220 magazine. Compromises.
If you didn't purchase the 320 for carry, then what's the problem? Some specimens are great safe queens, tons of fun at the range or in other non-critical events.
