Compact has the same rotating barrel design. It's the Sub-Compact that doesn't.

I have a compact one. My wife loves it. Err, wait, that didn't sound right. I have a Compact Beretta Px4, that is! My wife does love shooting it though. OBRPC is a little bit out of the way for me, though.

Congrats! At long last, as they say.

I am still trying to sort out NRAs messages -- on one hand, "the idea that mom and pop shops in USA are flooding Mexico with firearms are preposterous", and on the other hand, "DEA is responsible for letting thousands of straw purchases walk". These two things somehow don't compute together. SpecialK: I think it would be easier still if USA just stopped consuming those drugs to begin with.

NJdiverTony: no worries, man

A true story. When my older brother served in Soviet Air Force, he was on a convoy detachment guarding a train with arms and materiel en route from one base to another, or someplace else in Ukraine. He and a few others had a leave at some station, and went to buy something at the station store. It was in bitterly cold winter, with waist-high snow. When they returned back to the train, they didn't want to hoof it to their car and tried to jump into the closest car at the tail of the train, which happened to be guarded by an armed sentry. The guy got really nervous and agitated, and told ordered them to halt, back off and so on. In excitement, he racked his AK several times, sending a few cartridges into the snow around his post. The group laughed at him for being a dumbass who'll be responsible for the loss of the ammo, but then an officer emerged from the car, assessed the situation, and considering that the sentry still had to stand his guard, ordered THEM to find the lost cartridges in the snow, down to every damn last one.

I picked a Tetra-Gun brand cleaning kit for $14.99, I believe, at Ramsey Outdoor in Paramus. I probably could have spend much more, but frankly I see no reason to. It comes with barrel rod, a screw-on caliber specific brush, a screw on patch eyelet, a vial of lube, a bottle of solvent, and a small box patch of patches. Everything comes in a plastic box, as opposed to a bag, pouch, or blister pack, which factored as a plus in my view. There is enough room at the bottom of the box to throw in additional items (Q-tips and bore-snake). I recommend to check it out. When the solvent runs out, I'll refill the bottle from a Hoppe #9 big bottle I bought separately. The kit bottle has a convenient eyedropper tip, whereas Hoppe's doesn't.

Needless to say, if someone here is willing to part with their 9mm CX4 for a reasonable price, I will take it off their hands

Honestly, I don't know that either. My post, even if inane, was made in completely good humor. I am not judging, just poking fun. It's your gun, your family, your home... Carry right on. You, however, found extra time not only to "explain" this, as you say, in a rather standoffish manner, with overabundance of eye-rolls, but also to apparently downgrade my post.

The safety is off on that 92FS in the pic!

Maks, considering that CX4 can be bought new for $800... Is it indeed a realistic price point for a decent AR?

You can buy a roll of Velcro for 3 bucks at a fabrics or arts & crafts store, cut it into strips of the necessary length, and stitch onto whatever bag you like.

Great post, thanks for sharing. I presume you flew to Florida out of Newark, right?

If you are looking to place your safe under the desk and it's only for a handgun and a couple of things, have you considered Gunvault's SpeedVault series? They come in both Biometrics and combination flavors. http://www.gunvault.com/handgun-safes/speedvault.html

Maybe he's factoring in a 1-hour burgers/pitstop pause?

I have a question: why does this gone have a 1911-style beavertail? Besides visual aesthetics, is there any function to it in a striker-fired pistol?

I have an MP7 that has a retractable stock, 40 round mag, goes full auto, and has "HK this" and "MP7 that" on its frame. (it shoots airsoft BBs: ( )

I registered my new Px4. Beretta added 2 extra years of warranty on top of standard 1 year for that. I think it's worth it.

Oh, I didn't realize you served, I thought you took a class. I am considering Guns for Hire now.

That's it! You all are not going to keep me drooling much longer. Will order it as soon I get the safe installed.

dgt0770: I did not have a privilege (so to say) to spend any time at Mr. Jordan's house, but he conveniently and voluntarily opened a window into his household's inner workings for us by utilizing the combined power of Facebook and the internets. And if we were to use your argument to the fullest, and extend it upon his daughter, how do YOU know then that she's a spoiled, disrespectful, ungrateful brat? Spent any time with her? I am sure not; yet, you don't seem to have any problems making certain assumptions. And yes, as outlandish as it may seem, I do find the fault primarily with the parent and their failure to instill the proper "values", as folks say, into his kid. Think of it. If it's "hormones", as you say, then things are clearly out of the kids control -- she's driven not by her mores or values or behavior models, but by hormones. It's natural, pre-destined, and there is nothing she can do about it, right? This should clearly absolve her from any fault, and make her father's response all the more senseless, futile, and as illogical as trying to "punish" the wind or a rainfall. Is that the line of thinking we should follow. I don't think so. By 15 years of age -- or much earlier, actually -- a young person's moral core should already be shaped. Yes, of course there is a possibility of puberty period outbursts, yes, of course there are numerous opportunities for complications (a foster kid out of a complicated environment, mental health issues etc). But above and outside of that, I believe that the parents are the single biggest influence.

John, congrats. I am in Bergen County too, and considering doing this as well. Where and what requisite gun safety course did you take?

Exactly. Hornady has a line of anti-zombie ammunition. He could offer and endorsement for a line of anti-(computer)-materiel ammunition.

That's what my buddies tell me. Washing the bore-snake with dish soap takes the grime and grit out.

Maybe a book deal? A line of fragrances? A private-label line of cowboy hats? An appearance and/or endorsement of one of the GOP primaries candidates? There are many ways to monetize this sudden fame!
