The PX4 Compact might be my DA/SA Glock 19

[ReverendMeat]

Looking to install the low profile slide stop on a PX4 compact. Can anybody tell me how to remove the right side lever?

Check the Beretta forum FAQ section. A lot of info on PX4 maintenance with pics including changing out the decock levers.

Deleted. Had the video for replacing the safety/decocker to low profile.

I have arthritic thumbs & found the stealth levers tough work & the standard levers too pointy. I'm a righty, so I'm running the 92 lever on the LH side with the stealth lever on the RH side. I can use the stealth lever in a left-handed emergency, but the 92 lever is so much easier on me for the bulk of the decocking work than the other 2 styles.

I currently have that set up on my full-size gun, easy to use, but that lever is huge and looks like something is growing out of the slide of my slide.

I sat down with one of the US engineers this past weekend at the NRA Annual Meetings to give them ideas for a new lever that is just for decoking (G Model Only). I showed him a sample of a hand modified lever that I reshaped from a stock lever. I showed him what I wanted it to do, but with the caveat that the lever I made is a compromise as I had to use what was already there. I showed and explained how it would or could be better if we started from scratch.

He has already built a clay model and moving forward with a prototype. Should be much smaller than the 92 and the stock levers, but very easy to use. Much easier to use than the stealth lever.

LT, forgot to mention in my post above, thank you so much for the install video. Top notch!

Had a really odd malfunction with my PX4 CC yesterday out on the range. I was mostly shooting 115gr Lawman for the day but had a 50rd box of Perfecta for some odd reason in my trunk that I took out to shoot. Reluctantly. I was in the middle of a casino drill while using Perfecta and my gun locked up slightly out of battery, the malfunction was not able to be tap racked away so I had to use this technique to get it unstuck.

I heavily suspect it to being the ammo but I just wanted to at least mention this.

I don't know the trainer, and I'm sure he's probably very well respected, and probably even a forum member here, but I was very uncomfortable with his gun handling as he muzzles himself with the gun at least a couple of times.

The Clint Smith malfunction clearance video, that also includes double feeds (which I think you were illustrating with the video) is a little better, in my opinion.

I think Olim9 was talking about the "hold the side and hit the back of the grip" method of reducing a stoppage with a cartridge/case stuck in the chamber. I also didn't see Steve muzzle himself anywhere in the video that I watched.

Did you inspect the round that came out of the chamber? I have had and seen these types of malfunctions before (although not with the PX4 yet) and it has always been either bad round or some kind of dirt or debris in the chamber.
