No, anyone who says the FCU upgrade fixes everything is either lying or an idiot that doesn't know what they're talking about. SIG updating the manual for the p320 to instruct the user to never carry it barney-loaded should've been a huge red-flag for everyone paying attention.
in short: Glock has not one BUT THREE SAFETY FEATURES that prevent a unintentional discharge, a p320 barely has one.
A manual safety or trigger dingus will not fix it either, the problem was never there in the first place. Take a look at the firing pin design, that's where the fault lies it's an aftermarket part here specifically but it's good enough to get the point across as it's %99 identical and yes I chose an image of a grey guns part specifically for a reason.
Not only is that firing pin spring fully compressed and therefor fully cocking the firing pin when you rack the slide, that black L-shaped piece on the left of that image is the only thing that prevents UD's and OOB's to an extent. If the tolerances for any of the pieces involved in the slide assembly are even slightly off, the potential for unintended discharges is very high and due to the nature of MIM which that firing pin is made out of, a handgun that was once safe will eventually wear into an unsafe condition the more it is shot or even dry-fired. No amount of fiddle-fucking with any of FCU-related parts will fix it because it never could in the first place.
Now, compare the p320 to a Glock, notice the circular silver-coloured piece at the rear of the firing pin hole? That's the safety plunger that prevents the firing pin from striking a chambered round when the slide is not fully in battery. Not only must a glock trigger take the partially cocked firing pin and pull it into the fully cocked position, it also must depress the safety plunger before the pistol can successfully fire a round, the firing pin/striker can't do anything otherwise if it somehow gets pulled back without the plunger being pushed out of the way. This is on top of the trigger dingus needing to be pressed before the trigger will move rearward.
Glocks do have MIM parts as well, but there's a difference between what parts are metal-injected and the fucking MBA-brainrot bordering on deliberate sabotage going on at SIG for them to put forth an inherently flawed pistol design.
It's almost as if Gaston Glock knew what the fuck he was doing when he made his pistol, holy fucking shitballs but I guess having a trigger pull that's consistent every time is gross for some reason so we gotta fuck all that up and get people maimed or even killed so we can have triggers that can be set off by a mouse fart or just by moving weird.
