They are all always loaded with a round in the chamber.
I carry them very frequently in a variety of (quality) holster types.
I was even carrying one (OWB) when I got hit while riding a motorcycle.
The holster got completely trashed (cosmetically) from the road rash but the gun did not go off.

These lawsuits are absolute garbage.
Stupid ass people doing stupid ass things with guns and then playing the victim hoping for a big payout.

Which was done almost a decade ago.

It's basically a single-action handgun. Operating one safety demands an appreciation and respect for the consequences of that trigger being pulled, and the possible ways in which that can occur. It's not a DA revolver or a Ruger LCP...the action is much less forgiving.

I would not personally carry a P320 in a pocket. I would say the same for a P365, or a Glock for that matter. I would also not stick one in a soft-sided nylon holster, or any holster that would allow an outside object to encroach on the trigger. I do, however, feel perfectly safe with the gun on a belt in a properly-fitted kydex holster that protects the trigger and prevents it from being inadvertently pulled.

In the four P320 pistols that Villani physically examined, he observed that the MIM components were not finished to a tighter tolerance and exhibited rounded areas of excess material, termed 'rollover', which prevented full intended contact of the sear and striker overlaps.

...because of "the various sizes of internal parts and... wide range of motion between these parts... [the P320's] 'exposure to acute conditions (e.g., shock, vibration, heavy or repeated drops) may have a negative effect on its safety mechanisms and cause them not to work as designed.

...'rollover' (excess material) on the striker foot and a rounded edge on the striker stop wall, which he again opines can cause reduced contact between the contact surfaces of the striker foot and sear, allowing the striker to "walk off" the sear, and also allow the safety lock tab to "jump over" the striker stop wall.
