Personally I carry hammer fired guns with a thumb safety so I know it can’t go off.

I rely on double action and a firing pin block. Drop test induced discharge required more than enough force the destroy the firearm and squish the user, so I’m confident it’s fine for EDC while chambered. A while back I was thinking about getting a P320 and decided against it for the reason the article cited. Generally I prefer to control my environment to avoid the risk of my own error. Sadly will never get a Glock pistol, though I have a carbine that takes Glock 17 mags ( I have like 10+ heheh).

That doesn't apply here to the 320.
The 320 was also going off when dropped, owing to a heavy solid trigger that had enough mass under the right situation to actually pull the trigger . They updated it to a lighter trigger design.
