Sig Launches the P385 (possibly to replace the P320 system). Any interest?

Hopefully it has a well designed striker safety and a manual safety when so equipped that works directly on the sear.
According to AI both of those inferior P320 kluges have been redesigned similar to the P365 (and many others!), so that's great news!

Manual Safety

Trigger Bar Block:
When you flip the safety lever up into the "safe" position, an internal post or shelf mechanically locks into a recess on the trigger bar. This physically prevents the trigger bar from moving forward or rearward when the trigger is pressed.

Sear Block: Simultaneously, the safety mechanism places a physical barrier or hook directly underneath the sear assembly. This ensures that even if an extreme external impact or component failure were to occur, the sear is mechanically blocked from dropping down to release the striker.

Striker Block

The SIG Sauer P385 utilizes a fully captured coil spring and plunger striker safety design, similar to the architecture found in the P365 platform.

The Shift in Safety Architecture

The P385 represents an entirely new "ground-up" design that deliberately moves away from the inferior internal safety mechanics of the older P320, which were derived from the hammer fired P250.

The P385 adopts P365 Logic

For the P385, SIG Sauer opted for a clean-slate, modernized design. It utilizes a traditional vertical plunger driven by its own captured vertical coil spring located directly inside the slide. This plunger physically blocks the striker's forward path and is only lifted out of the way vertically when the trigger bar rises during a complete, deliberate trigger press.
 
Question for my esteemed peers in the Peanut Gallery...

So I've been hearing about how sig will launch a new pistol (rumor says 9-24), the P385, to replace the P320 platform. Basically a beefed up P365 FCU-system to handle a more duty-sized diet. It is supposed to use existing P320 magazines.

If so, what are your thoughts? Second, will they bring it to California?
Very interested, I just hope the cali🥐ed model will be fixable without bad scars
