    my FFL handed me a full size PX4 one day when I was just visiting. Went back a few days later and picked it up because I wanted to try out the rotating barrel. A conversion to G, a Talon grip and a Langdon trigger job in a bag later and it is hands down my favorite shooter. It is in the rotation and gets carried any time I am up to a full size. I ended up with the small backstrap because it feels very 1911-ish with it.

    This is a great overlooked pistol. The .45 shoots very smoothly I've been having mine for 9 years now. Just to let you know, on the locking block Beretta recommends using grease not oil. I did have to send my PX4 back to Beretta one year and the gunsmith called me from Beretta and I did ask him that question and he told me to use grease on the locking block and in the groove slot on the barrel where that diamond section slides into from the locking block. He also shipped it back to me after getting fixed with grease in those location.

    @brianshuler6951 2 дня назад +3

    My full size is an early model with over 30,000 rounds through it and my compact is relatively new. A few comments born from my experiences with them.
    *Feeding issues are virtually non-existant because the top round in the mag is aligned only slightly below the feed ramp;
    *Talon Grips are included because Beretta knows that today's shooters demand aggressive texture for better performance;
    *The rotating barrel does absorb much of the felt recoil, making these guns easy shooters;
    *As proven by Earnest Langdon's 50,000 rounds in a year torture test (watch his video), the quality and reliability of these guns is excellent;
    *these pistols have great ergonomics, point very easily, their accuracy is better than or at least on par with any factory defensive pistol I have owned;
    *their finishes have held up very well;
    * Although rarely needed (I had to replace one guide rod), parts availability and customer service have been very good;
    *Langdon parts, from his famous trigger bar to his "Trigger Job In A bag" are available from LTT at what I consider to be reasonable prices.
    For those who are not trusting souls, I do not work for Beretta, I am not a paid spokesperson, and I sure don't get free guns from anyone. I am, however, a fan of the PX4 full and compact.
    As a final note, the SC version is a "Px4" by name only. Functionally, it is a completely different operating system and internal design compared to the other two.

      It's the firing pin block. It's a little different than the one on the 92 series but functions in the same manner. As you pull the trigger the spring-loaded firing pin block is moved up, allowing the firing pin to move forward, when the hammer strikes it.

    @GBGuns - Just an FYI your copy has the same exact inconsistent trigger reset issue that's been reported by @TheArkansasGunGuy. @6:00 keep an eye on the firing pin block at the top of the slide when you reset the trigger the first time (it pops back down). When you reset the trigger again afterwards the firing pin block stays UP, giving you a shorter reset. Here's an explanation: ruclips.net/video/b6ndT3P9QsY/видео.html

      Except that if they produced it to sell at that price point they'd have to either eat whatever profit keeps their doors open or they'd have to cut extreme corners on quality.

      @JD-tn5lz I don't know what their price point is. But there are many. MANY companies that have produced new products at a short term loss in order to get products out there and start making profit by volume.
      Even Beretta has a few guns that basically NO ONE wants so they have them at stupid low prices and rebates so they can get them into the market.
      You know what other duty guns have better price points? Virtually ALL of them. That is one of Glocks biggest selling points, they sell them the police for cheap, 320s also.

      The PX4 debuted in late 2003/early 2004. Changing of back straps can be difficult the first few times but once done gets easier. Also replacing the mainspring with a D spring will significantly reduce DA trigger pull weight without sacrificing reliability. These are fantastic, naturally pointing pistols and uber reliable. It is a shame they never caught on more.
