Hey, all.
I'm getting back into shooting and looking to buy an actual modern semi-auto. Following the advice of this forum, I'm looking at the standard suspects (M&P 9c, Glock 19), but the discussions here have made me really curious about the PX4 as well. I really like the idea of the DA/SA trigger (I have avoided one ND in the past only because of the incredibly long DA pull on my revolver).
When I went to the local gun store, the guy there said that he personally really didn't like the PX4 because it felt very "top heavy." I could feel what he meant just holding the gun in the store, but I've also learned here that how something feels in the gun store means jack for how effectively you can shoot it.
So is "Top heaviness" even a thing? Does it have any effect on recoil impulse/controllability, or how well the gun sits in a holster? Or does it only really affect that vague "feels good in the hand" at the gun store counter?
