I agree. The full size version with the RMR looks better as the sight breaks up the lines. Otherwise, the black one looks like any other polymer pistol..with even less curves.
I've held but not shot the full size gun. It is a surprisingly big pistol for a 9mm. I think the Carry or Compact would look more appealing, even with the Canadian barrel.
I actually shot a full size over the summer and shot it well. I agree though, it feels like your holding a 1911 Gov. Make no mistake, I like the 1911 just a weird feeling when you have a polymer gun that handles that big. Funny story I handled that same gun on Friday and it has the same grindy noise that a new Glock does. I was able to fix it up though

What is this grindy noise from a Glock you speak of? Mine are so old that I can't remember any noise! And what was the cause of the noise in the 320?
How does the 320 compare to your Glock in 9mm form?
I too don't understand the grinding he's talking about? I think next to the walther trigger, It's the next best trigger out of the box for a striker fire pistol. But it's very close.
What I can say is I own a G17 and full size P320. Both in 9mm. I have big hands. The Glock fits good. But but the grip is squared off. Like a 2x4 as they say. The P320 just feels natural in the hand. More contoured. It's more top heavy in the front compared to the Glock. But that can be good to compensate for muzzle flip.
Many first time P320 shooters are amazed how accurate they are with this pistol.

You know your going to have to get one don't you...I know your holding out...I decided I'm keeping mine for sure...would love to try one with the optic though...and I might pick up an fde frame too...I actually prefer the grip of the sig to the Glock...and I love the fact that it carry the same super clean lines...simple is best...imho

Darn! Bad poker face eh? The 320 is definitely intriguing! I don't usually have issues with any grips except maybe a DE in 50AE so grip comfort isn't an issue to me.
I would really love to try one! (hint, hint!)

If ever you go and handle a Glock at a store when you rack the slide you'll hear this almost grinding, squeak noise. When I got my RTF2 it was absolutely horrendous. Anyways a drop of oil on the rod of the recoil spring and it's now whisper quiet. When I was looking at my boss' sons P320 same noise. I said "Hey, let me help you out with that"
I was actually talking to his son yesterday and he said "Hey, thanks for fixing my gun!" When I asked if his dad told him or he noticed he responded "I was using it and noticed it was really quiet and asked my dad if he had someone look at it when he got the sights changed because it's so nice and quiet now."

So the one piece capture recoil guide spring/rod comes un-lubed new? And the squeek/ grind is the rubbing?
I've never noticed as I spray a tiny bit of G96 everytime I clean my gun after a shoot.
It's obnoxious when you're doing drills at home. That's a good enough reason to address it. A brand new gun shouldn't sound like nails down a chalkboard, and it takes 2 seconds to address because of how easy the gun is to service.
I am however kind of curious how you can declare that unnecessary friction can't at all impede performance. If it rubs everytime the gun fires it will most certainly cause wear over time, that won't be as readily apparent in one that's quiet.
as for the calibre it will more than likely be 9mm. you guys forget they and us are members of nato so all small arms ammo is standardized. the only exceptions are for special forces or navy boarding parties as examples. when you're in the field and they have to make an ammo drop and more than one country is there you want to be able to supply everyone. all nato countries the pistol is 9mm, the rifle- squad auto is 5.56 and the heavy team rifle is 762x51. tanks use 50 cal or higher but they are either 50bmg 20mm 25mm or 30mm.
the next time you have nato ammo look at the bottom of the rim and you will find a circle with a cross in it. that is the nato proof mark and can only appear on nato approved ammo. this for those that did not know this.

The only thing the spring could wear is the guide rod. In a Glock that is a sealed unit and is to be replaced every 5000-10,000 rounds(or annually if you don't keep track). There is no performance issue as Glock has been doing it that way from day one and has the best reliability record in the industry. Much like the sproing sound in an AR, people worry about things that make no differerence.
The modular design is so genius. Here's a pic of my P320 deassembled. Which takes less than 30 seconds to do.The trigger group is the serialized part. The rest of the parts are just paper weights. And for countries that only allow one firearm per household. This is a great way to counteract that.
