Is there an informed consensus developing regarding this model? I would like to purchase a full size for duty and compact for off-duty, but I'm not seeing a lot of P320 discussion on the forum (unless I have just missed it). The model is certainly not taking off the way I thought it would.
Perhaps it is just being eclipsed by the VP9.
Any thoughts?
There are a couple long threads here on it. I would judge the consensus is just like the VP9, it's a swell SFA pistol one can do very good work with.

I think most of the discussion seemed to be in this thread:Originally Posted by TSH

I liked the P320C, but flipped a coin at the LGS and bought a VP9. It was very close.
There's a forum/sub-forum very dedicated to the P320 model(s), here.
The posts seem to address "fan-boy-gushes"; individual likes/dislikes; small problems; and minor parts changes.
For my money and peace-of-mind, I've mainly stayed with Glock and SIG, which consist of proven, older models. The SIGs I carry are P226R and P229R, as I didn't wish to dive into a brand-new platform not knowing about all the small reliability issues which come up. At the time, I didn't even have a conveniently located dealer where I could feel the differences between the grip-frame sizes.
I'm still getting used to Glock's Gen4 idiosyncrasies.

Standby and check back in June 2016.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I Had a P320, a PPQ9 and several VP9's as well as 9mm Glocks. I still have 9mm Glocks , VP9's and a VP40.
I reviewed a full size. 40 and own a 9mm compact. All of the news is good so far. Several of us shot a bunch of different rounds through the .40 without any problem except for two of us with longer thumbs kept the slide from locking back reliably. My daughter just did a two-day, 1000 rounds school with the 9mm and all went well.
The Oklahoma HP did some (pretty) good testing on the pistol and ended up adopting it. I have high hopes.
I've been very favorably impressed with my P320. Its biggest downside from my point of view is that it doesn't have the aftermarket support of the Glock/M&P duo.

That's a bit of a wait. What are we waiting on?
Mine is extremely accurate and has been 100% reliable. I only have 1000 rounds through it though.
