Is this broken? Beretta PX4 storm

Recommended Posts

Oh no... that's a big crack... [emoji15]

It's on all PX4s and 92s/96s. Relief cut, as mentioned. Checked to see if I had a shot of my PX4 that included it, but never had one of that angle. Too lazy to pull it out of the safe either.

I got lucky seeing that on BerettaForum early on... prior to noticing the cut. [emoji41]

No problem...

Yea, damn thing keeps flipping off. Must be broken. [emoji6] I also got this new safety for my Inox Brigadier... said it was made for real Gs, so figured I'm gangster after buying it. Safety worked fine when I was a nerd, but not anymore since I became so fly... [emoji41]

Seriously, I was big on BerettaForum for years prior to finding NJGF, so if I see a Beretta thread, I likely will poke my head in. Lots of random crap rolling around in my head, but sometimes can find some useful Beretta info. It's one platform I grew up on.

Does a bear crap in the woods?

Swap it over to take either the 92 or PX4 magazines. Think the only difference in that picture is that I had the bolt plated.

Yep...

Had two PX4s. The .45 was my first, which I tossed in the Stealth controls when I had CCR refinish it (converts to G due to profile of the levers). Traded that off when I got my Glock 30S.

The 9mm came converted to G. Picked it up used from one of the moderators on BerettaForum. Had CCR match it to my .45, as well as added an extended barrel. Still have that one.

The Brigadier, converted myself when the kit came out. Was one of the first people to order... patients definitely helped there, along with gun oil.

Decocker only is a nice thing, but definitely need to be comfortable with it. Having the PX4s, as well as a 96G Centurion slide, it was a given to convert the last slide over. Also prefer the SIG decocker on my P228. I just got tired of confirming the safety was off each time I brought the Brigadier up (still sweep my thumb from time to time).

Only gun I have with a slide safety/decocker is my S&W 1006.

[mention=4929]Screwball[/mention] - stock trigger or sierra papa?


SierraPapa... kept it stock for some time, then figured I'd try it out.

While the stock trigger sucks, it does work. I've taken a lot of heat for not going with the acceptance for the SP trigger kit.

It is nice, but also expensive. When I mention it isn't necessary, SP kind of gave me the cold shoulder in posts on BerettaForum. It is night and day from the stock trigger, and made that very clear, but my groups didn't tighten up directly due to the upgrade.

The recoil assembly... that is definitely an important upgrade, as if you take the gun down with the hammer down, you can break the buffer and/or guide rod. If that occurs, the gun doesn't work. Have no problem recommending that, but I cannot call the SP trigger kit a necessary upgrade. Who would have figured it would give a Tavor trigger a run for its money (have the Geissele pack and trigger bow in it now [emoji6]).

My gun was probably in the first group imported (under 750 serial number). Very happy with it, being a reliable design... but I like a few different pistol caliber carbines.

    • 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 
    • 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.
    • 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.
