Notes and Observations:
This is a nice little gun. It proved very reliable in my hands. I had some issues after 1200 rounds with it auto forwarding on reloads. The problem stopped in the last 200 rounds of the test, no idea why. I find it as difficult to shoot as a Glock 26, which is to say it shoots very well, just not as forgiving as a fuller sized pistol. As it sits with the Wilson 12# spring, the trigger is 8lbs DA, 5lbs SA. The trigger feels outstanding, very clean, not gritty. The PX4C is reliable, cheap, accurate, shoots well, and seems durable. What's not to like? The rear sight was placed by the Devil and proved nearly impossible move.
