re: Sig P320-m18 Opinions

Bumping this thread so as to not make a new one and be super annoying. Was looking at an m18 320 and liked it but saw all of the old stuff about the p320's original issues with discharges or whatever that was. Is the m18 a newer model that has fixed any of those potential issues?

Would really rather something with a hammer like the 226 or 229 but comparing this with some other similar guns (Glock, HK models, etc) to put an optic on.

ETA: not as a carry piece, more for trying to get into more longer range shooting and potentially pistol hunting. Better suggestions welcome. A buddy swears by his Glock Gen5 MOS. Granted both are in 9mm which I already have a good bit of ammo for but as far as hunting and distance shooting, I know it's not the best round. But you can never have too many so if I end up with something else later having an extra 9 around isn't the end of the world.
