Kinda want one.

Of course, gun magazines almost always give good reviews. Not all of them. American Handgunner has ripped more than a few models and brands thru the years. Mas Ayoob was given short shrift when he hammered S&W a few years ago (can't recall the model on that one). |

I've seen pictures of the back of the pistol. Looks like they took p250 slides plugged up the back where the hammer was and shaved it down a bit. When I first heard about them I thought there was be a new design approach. Not that.  There's nothing similar about the internals of the P320 frame or slide to the P250. That plug contains the striker mechanism and the whole slide can be taken down without a single tool. |

It's not going to go over well with departments where the contract money is at. It's a rebadged P250. |

Pretty certain they said magazines and slides from p250 can be used on the p320 frame. |

The 320 slides have a new contour. That's just aesthetic, so the 250 slides may actually fit on a 320 frame, but as said above, the striker mechanism is inside the slide so they are not compatible.
What (supposedly) are compatible are the barrels, the grip modules and the magazines. Supposedly because no one has gotten a 320 and started playing around with it and 250 parts and reported back. What cannot be compatible is the slide and the fire control module. Those, by the inherent design of the 320, must be different. |

What I see is: New slide- same basic design as a 250 slide but new contours, plug/rear cover over original cutout for hammer travel, and milled rear sight slot for regular sights. I would also expect the interior of the slide to be markedly different. FCM- externally same except for insert where the 250's hammer traveled. Unknown on interior differences of the FCM, but there will obviously be a different design. Grip module, barrel and magazine look identical (except for P250 markings, obviously). |

Grip module, barrel, and magazine are the same.
The FCU might look the same in passing but is a complete redesign. The slide bears a passing resemblance to P250, but is very different internally. The 2 guns have the same locking mechanism, but the firing mechanism is completely different and this results in 2 very different guns. |
