Calling all Beretta fans…
Being that all three of my storms used to be type f’s when they were new and that now that they have all been converted to type g’s, what’s the difference between a loaded and chambered type F that’s off safe with the hammer up in DA mode and a type G- all that other stuff? Aren’t they pretty much just the same pistol- which yes, I know, they’re not the same pistol because the decocker lever doesn’t stay down in safe position on the G like it dues the F but that aside, they’re still pretty much the same, right?
I emailed Beretta a while back before I converted all of mine just to ask them that very same question about what the difference was, to just more or less figure out if I really needed to convert my pistols, and if I could just carry them with the safety off and get the same result. They of course said no, that the type F’s – since they have a safety, that they are meant to be carried with the safety on.
I fully understand why they wouldn’t answer a question like that because you’re basically asking them – the manufacturer, if it’s OK to carry one of their pistols in a fashion that it wasn’t designed in. I was just asking if they were still in the general sense, the same pistol as to which they wouldn’t even answer that and kept telling me that they won’t be same pistol because one has a safety decocker and the other one is just decocker only.
I’m not looking for justification on doing the type F to type G conversions as I like my pistols be type g now, I feel real comfortable with them and after reading here on the forums about the double action shot on the first round, I really need to practice that because before, I wasn’t real crazy about that first double action shot which is why I always started out with the hammer pulled back. But now that I know better, I feel even safer with them but still, this thread is just simply for curiosity and if anybody else is wondering the same thing.
