The P320 does have a firing pin block. There is a lever that physically blocks the striker from moving. When you pull the trigger, the trigger bar lifts the lever, allowing the striker to move if the sear is also disengaged.

None of this is a sear block, or has anything to do directly with the sear. It will prevent the gun from firing if the sear were to fail.

You can see the lever in green in this animation:
