I buy guns to use them. Purchasing a handgun that was adopted by various departments doesn't insure longevity. I'm thinking of my H&K P7/10s. I no longer shoot them because parts are scarce. I'm fond of 1911s, which seem to resist time, but what about the Staccato C2, or C2 DPO? I keep 1911's for home defense, but want a smaller and lighter carry gun. Staccato will move forward, or might stumble. I suspect that the C2 has proprietary parts that may become scarce. Am I wrong to think that this gun is likely to go the way of my H&Ks? If so, I'm best to put up with the P320's DA/SA trigger.
Staccato C2 DPO Proprietary Parts?

That must be a rare bird indeed as I've never seen a SIG 320 that wasn't a striker fired SA
The only parts that won't interchange with a 1911 are the magazine catch & trigger. STI has been around for quite a while, despite their recent name change. Parts exist just about anywhere you buy spares.
Now their DUO plate system is proprietary.. I cannot see the need to have extras unless you like to swap optics..
Ok, so how do you refer to the long heavy pull vs subsequent short light pull?
Here is a link to parts specifically made for STI/Sttaccato 2011. Of course, this list spans many models. Over 200 parts. Most are out of stock, or discontinued.

Methinks you are thinking of a different Sig model. The 320 series are striker fired with a single trigger pull.
Perhaps the 230 is what you were thinking of? (Or the 225, 226, 228, 229, 220, 245, 2022)
Not sure which model of the SIG P320 you have, but none of the ones I've shot or handled exhibit that trait.
The trigger of the P320 consist of taking up the slack and a short press to release...all the trigger pulls are identical

STI, now Staccato has been around for 25 years and offers a lifetime warranty on the gun. That's not a guarantee that parts will be available years from now, but the same can be said of many guns. If it's the gun that best suits your needs I wouldn't let the what ifs stop you from getting it.
Attached is a great review of STI/Staccato, including their history by Larry Vickers.

I was hoping we were going to get a clarification on whether the OP had perhaps a typo or was possibly referring to a different SIG model.
This was what I was considering:

I've never held this, nor the Staccato, but I will soon be moving out of California. So, my only Glock has the same pull shot to shot, but from reviews I've seen this is not the case with the 320.

OP,
I owned a couple of 320's. They have the same trigger pull from shot to shot just as your Glock does. I'm not sure what reviews you've seen, but if the reviewers stated otherwise they're incorrect. It might be helpful if you provided a link to those reviews.

The 320 trigger pull isn't the same as that of a Glock, but each trigger pull of the 320 is the same as the previous one...it is lighter, shorter, and cleaner

P01 is a very good gun though, and learning two trigger pulls isn't actually very hard if you put in the time, and a lot of dry fire.
Laser bullet systems like iTarget Pro help too, makes dry fire a little less dreary and lets you know if you're pulling that DA shot a little better (and easier) than stacking nickels on your pistol (though that method is effective).
