I think the 320 problems are mostly caused by a company making it's first striker fired gun.
If you drop the gun just right, and it hits just at the proper angle, it will go off. Well used to. All fixed now.
Just like my "70" series 1911. No firing pin block in that either. Drop it muzzle down and inertia could make the firing pin go foreword with enough power to strike the primer hard enough to make the gum go off.
So I got an extra powerful firing pin spring to keep that from happening.
Firearm 'work arounds' are nothing new. 6 shooters from the 1800's that you only load 5.
Don't put pointy bullets in a tube magazine.
And light bulb companies shouldn't make mini-guns.
Unfortunately mistakes made by firearm companies, can lead to death.
Same with cars. (recall anyone?)
Look at the airplane companies that have had to 'retro' fit something on their planes because the NTSB made 'em.
Should new firearms released to the public be perfect?
Yes, yes they should. But... they are made by humans.
And so it goes.
