Sig P385 rumored to replace the P320 system. Any intel out there?

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?

Guess we will see in 6 days. Sig just keeps killing it!

 

[2azone]

Well that'll probably slow down the lawsuits, at least

 

[bcj68]

Definitely not a rumor...saw this on the Sig Sauer homepage...

if they bring it here i’ll give it a few years before looking at maybe getting one. I really do like my p365. But, it’s modern sig, I don’t trust them at all right now.

I was just talking about this yesterday. Hopefully they add a trigger tab.

There were rumors that it wouldn’t be compatible with current P320 aftermarket parts which is a bummer.

The ones Sig won? They’ve been extremely dominant. Seems like they’re faring better than Glock both in the courts and sales

It's smart to move on from the 320 simply from a PR standpoint.

It would make sense for it not to take 320 parts to a certain extent. If this is a rebranding attempt, they would want to move away from the 320 drama. The second there is an issue people would blame it on the 320 parts installed on a pistol. Short of mag compatibility, I think it would be wise to just move on parts wise.

 

[chiroken007]

if they want to maintain market dominance there is no logical reason to fight for the p320 when they can simply replace it with something newer and shinier. They have done the work to prove their system. But public opinion is public opinion. It’s nearly impossible to transform when it’s rooted in fear or lack of trust.

They are moving on.

I doubt it would share any parts with the p320.

 

[bonesurf]

i would bet on it sharing magazines and maybe even the grip frames. but none of the "mechanicals". the FCU will be "new"

 

[BONECUTR]

Rumor is scaled up P365 to replace P320's as others have said.

 

[angryasian]

it’s hard to believe the p320 has been out so long… boy I’m getting old. It’s been over 12 years. That’s a good run for a modern pistol with the ever decreasing attention span of consumers these days.

 

[Pythonfan]

Wow 12 years. I guess being behind the iron curtain, we forget that.

In California terms, it's only been on the commercial market for less than 4 years.

 

[Gawernator]

lol yup the P320 is a pretty old pistol. It’s not going anywhere for a while though, lots of variants and military and police customers they have to support

 

[M_N04H]

Call me weird but I don't need the newest models every time something new comes to the market. I still prefer old and proven.

Don't trust Beretta either then I'm guessing? 92 series sure had serious issues when it came out.... idk if we can trust them

The widely publicized issues with the 92 were related to the ammunition being fired, not the weapon itself. The slides that fractured were subjected to high volumes of near proof +p+ ammunition designed for sub machine guns. No pistol is going to hold up to that.

Huh kinda like people pulling the trigger and lying about it or using improper holsters/techniques

Who woulda thunk it - didn't think my comment needed a /s lol
Regarding the 92, Beretta made multiple changes to the gun to make it more reliable and tougher. Hm..... who else did that....
