Eight years later Reeves discovers what Langdon discovered in 2015.
I bet Reeves did not read all 427 pages and 4,269 posts in Langdon's thread about the PX4.
A local hipster was excited about his. He asked me to hold it. He then asked me if I wanted to shoot it...
I politely declined. The huge hunk of plastic just made me feel yuck.
There are so many nice shooting and feeling pistols out there... I just never found a itch that this gun needed to scratch.
As noted Early PX4s were problematic. Beretta quietly fixed them but it was a real thing at the time.
The stock PX4 (particularly the compact) sucks but grip and trigger work help. The compact needs the slim controls as well.
The PX4 was, at least in part, Berettas attempt to produce a gun that could stand up to .40 cal after the failures of the Beretta 96 and 96A1. Being polymer framed and cheaper to make the 92 series probably didn’t hurt in a market dominated by Glock.
