Quick background: Earlier this year my fiancé and I bought a PPS (hers) and a PPQ (mine). She ended up not liking the PPS as much as she thought she would. So we swapped the small back strap onto my PPQ which makes it fit for her and she's quite fond of it now. She's enjoying the time at the range quite a bit more as well.
Here's where the P320 comes in. When she started using my PPQ at the range, I traded my SR22 in on a P320 full size. Holding it feels very nice but I've not been as comfortable shooting it as I was with my PPQ. The PPQ felt very natural when shooting it where the P320 feels less so. I'm not sure if it's the extra weight in the trigger or the bit of extra size the Sig medium grip has or if just going to take more trips to the range to get comfortable with it. The PPQ was comfortable on the first range trip, where the P320 is still not there after several trips. I've put 250-300 through the P320 as of yesterday.
I feel like im having more difficulty maintaining control of the P320. My initial thoughts have been that I'm struggling more with medium grip combo and the heavier trigger, compared with the PPQ. While at the range last night, I tried placing my finger lower on the trigger and that seemed to help "lighten" the feel of the trigger and made things easier. Looking at them side by side, the Sig's grip seems to me to be chunkier on the sides, where the PPQ is slimmer on the sides but has more swell on the back that fills my palm differently. They don't seem to be drastically different in circumference, but the Sig looks to be more round where the PPQ is more oval. That difference does make the Sig feel more chunky in my hand.
I was quite excited about the P320, but after several trips to the range I'm feeling a bit disappointed and frustrated. It's not there is anything wrong with it and I don't dislike it, but I can't say that I really like it either. At those point I can't say for certain if it's actually the P320 that I wanted, or the idea of the modularity of the P320 that I wanted.
Am am I just over thinking things and the P320 is just going to take longer to warm up to?
Would the small grip module make enough of a difference to make it worth waiting for one to become available before deciding?
Should this just be chalked up as a learning experience and accelerate the plans for a second PPQ (the Sig would be sold or traded)?
Any thoughts or advice would be helpful at this point as I don't want to just quit trying to make it work, but at the same time that is harder to justify when I know the PPQ works well for us.
Thanks!
