92fstech I have met him multiple times, and he is a great guy, competent shooter, and really is putting his best foot forward with Taurus and trying to improve the company. His other job as a USAF reserve combat arms training instructor give him perspective on military issue guns like the M17/18,M9. So if he has some opinions on the 320 series, I would respect what he has to say there too. ( all my interaction and discussions with him has been on the revolver side of things)

The comment in question was something regarding the safety of the P320 and unintended discharges. I don't remember the exact quote, but remember it rubbed me the wrong way because he was willing to denigrate the design without being able to identify what the actual mechanical problem supposedly is with the gun. He's hardly alone in that regard, as bashing on the P320 is pretty popular these days, I had just hoped he would have a more technical take on it. It doesn't make me dismiss his views on other things, it's just a point on which we disagree.

I had two Model 85s back in the early 90s that worked fine. I just bought a black oxide 2" Model 856 that has about 70 rounds through it now, and it's working so far.
