Mine is the subcompact, size difference between that and my full size is quite a bit. Can't get my pinky on the grip at all but it still is easy to shoot. Uses a double stack 10 round mag so it's as thick as the full size. Shorter grip and barrel make for much easier concealed carry.

PX4 Subcompact doesn't have the rotating barrel system.

 

Px4 Full Size has a 4" Barrel.  Compact has a 3.27" Barrel.  Length is 7.55" Full vs 6.8" Compact.  Height is 5.51" Full vs 5" Compact.  Weight is .5 oz difference (27.7 vs 27.2 oz).

 

It's up to your wife whichever one she feels fits her better.  Remember - the backstraps are interchangeable on both Full size and Compact.

Not a lot of dif between the full and the compact.

Mrs Zeke did say it was slipping out of her hand during rapid fire. That's .40, not the 9

 

I didn't know about the blackstrap, lol, my buddy prolly doesn't know either. I walked him trough the jersey process, he's only shot my SR before he purchased his px from Flynn

I have both an M9A1 and a 9mm PX4 Compact.

 

I would pick the 92 any day of the week to bring to the range.

 

On the other hand the PX4 is my go to gun, that's why i got it in a compact.. I have been looking at a compact m9a1 companion. lol

 

I have nothing negative to say about the px4, its a great pistol. I think the rotating barrel is what sold me and its a comfortable pistol to hold. It's a solid pistol for being "polymer" and is ridiculously easy to take apart. 15rd mags are great for the compact and fit completely. For an average size person with medium hands the compact felt like a very well balanced weapon. Most other pistols in this range are also striker and i'm a hammer kinda guy.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
