Naw the nambus are old, but also they have a tendency to fire when smacked lightly, so aren't exactly "safe" and if that were the issue you'd think they'd be banned. (Ok sure the only people who will ever buy one are collectors for the most part, but still).
The p320 also has been known to have some mechanical issues, the drop safety issue (recalled, but not all were sent back), and there have been numerous reports of them firing in holsters or otherwise firing due to mechanical failures (iirc it's the poor sear engagement and fully rocked single action striker [as opposed to Glock and their clones 1/3rd cocked double action striker], the sear wears with use and can trip when it shouldn't, and the fully cocked striker sends it where the 1/3rd cocked may cause a light primer strike if it even bypasses the safety plunger.) Figure if safety were really the concern, that might not be on roster either.
Turns out (to nobody's surprise lol) it likely isn't about safety, as you mentioned earlier. I'm just jumping on the "CA gun laws are dumb" train.
