    It doesn't really matter if the PX4 breaks at 40K round mark. Almost no one on earth is ever going to spend the $12,000 on that much 9mm to hit that count. For 99% of 9mm shooters the PX4's durability is virtually infinite.

      Well that depends, in my country sporting shooters can only own 2 handguns, and many of those shooters shoot/train twice a week. Lets say each time is 50 shots, thats 5200 shots a year. Lets say only half of that is with your pistol of choice, so 2600 shots per year with your favourite pistol. In less than 16 years you will be beyond 40k rounds.

Now, why we're comparing a 50 year old gun design to a 40 year old gun design is beyond me, but at least Beretta has released new pistols and aren't simply laying on their Model 92 'perfection' laurels.

      @JR-gp2zk the issue you are relying on, that of the alleged drop safety issue, never impacted the military issue handgun as far as I can tell. The military specified trigger standards were different than the commercial guns.
      The Beretta is heavier and bulkier. They are also more complex and prone to breaking parts. In fact the projected lifecycle of some of it's major components is so short it's clearly inferior. The suggestion that you should replace the locking block every however many rounds is like saying you should replace the pistons in a gas engine every 20,000 miles. The DA trigger is literally a solution in search of a problem. What are it's supposed advantages? There really are none and it makes it much harder to train shooters and requires far more repetition to master than does single action or most striker fired guns. You give me any reason you think a traditional double action auto is superior and I'll explain why it is that you are wrong.

    I’m glad Beretta has made changes to the 1301. I bought one back in the 90s that was NOT soft-shooting at all, because it was extremely lightweight, so light in fact that it didn’t do anything to remediate felt recoil. The new ones are a definite step up.
    I bought a PX4 9mm when they first came out, and right out of the box, it was a comfortable, sweet shooting handgun that ran like a champ. Unfortunately, mine shed its front sight after two mags, probably from an out of spec dovetail cut. I took it back and had another brand new PX4 from Beretta within two weeks. Can’t say enough good about Beretta!

    Mr. Langdon sells it all well. I have a PX4 LTT compact. I bought it from a guy who said it was difficult to carry. He was a heavy set gent AND a TFB fan. (To be fair he was an older dude and a disabled vet)
    I met him at a Dairy Queen to trade a nice 1911 for his beretta. I asked him if he had any trouble with the beretta. He mentioned that it interfered with his love of Oreo blizzards and peanut butter parfait. I asked him how so and he explained that he felt fat shamed by the beretta because his wife (also proudly heavy) laughed at his fanny pack he carried it in.
    I was trying to be polite and told him maybe the overalls (Big Smith brand) were throwing off the ensemble. This guy was very entertaining.
    Turns out we’d both bought the Ruger LCP Max after watching TFB. I asked if he pocket carried his. He kept it in the front chest pocket of his overalls. He tried to front pocket carry, but the pistol kept falling to his feet.
    Being close to 50 and having had Pawpaws and great uncles I knew what he was referring to. There is an access slot between the pocket of the overalls and your pants should you want to wear them as coveralls. He called them his driving pockets and then smiled as his wife and she smiled back.
    Yeah…so I bought a LTT PX4 compact.

      I've realized that a lot of people who don't like the PX4 either don't know to shoot DA/SA guns specifically, don't know how to shoot in general and so struggle with the DA/SA guns, or have issues with its size and their (most of the time) improper way of carrying a firearm.
      Some will complain that its too thick, even though it is the same size and width as most double stack compacts (Glock 19 size). Now some people prefer smaller carry guns which I have no issue with. If this guy isn't trying to change the way he dress than all be it to him and he should what he comfortably can.

I particularly love the position and shape of the slightly extended slide release, and the (3) magazines that come with the gun are some of the finest out there. A sleeper pick for anyone who wants an alternative to all the glocks and m&p's of the world. Just one note: not a viable suppressor host, the rotating barrel can cause the suppressor to come loose from the threads during rotation.

    Very cool to see the .22 I love my ruger precision rimfire because it came with a chassis and adjustable trigger. It loves CCI Standard, just an added bonus. Great job James. Love the self portrait on the magazine. Short shorts would have been better though.

    For anyone who shoots ambidextrous the LTT HK P30 is magical. I’ve owned a LTT Beretta PX4 subcompact and it shoots just as Ernest stated, but I was dropping magazine regularly when changing hands. The LTT P30 shoots incredibly well and the paddle mag release is a game changer for anyone that trains and shoots CAR.

    I want to see how good that LT PX4 trigger is. I've shot two models, in the larger calibers. Both were street box versions, and those triggers were quite smooth and crisp. It's hard to imagine them getting much better.

      If he were somehow able to fix the main complaints that haven't already been addressed on that rifle (primarily the accuracy and maybe a little tweaking of the pistol grip, since there were already improved triggers and other parts), he really would be a wizard of the first order.

    I've got almost the EXACT same setup with my Savage MkII FV-SR. That's what model that is, btw. I've got the same Gemtech Outback II-D, but the rifle is in a Boyd's Tacticool stock, and I just switched from a bipod like yours to a cheap, but more extendable Magpul MOE. Scope on mine is currently a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50, which is a little overkill, but I have to agree, suppressed, subsonic .22lr out of that rifle is SO MUCH FUN!

  • @johnsanko4136

    • @lordhuck2689
      @lordhuck2689 Рік тому +1

      It doesn't really matter if it breaks at 40K round mark. Almost no one on earth is ever going to spend the $12,000 on that much 9mm to hit that count. For 99% of 9mm shooters the PX4's durability is virtually infinite.

      So far he said he thinks maybe by 2024 or 2025 we might see a second generation Px4!
      Because while in America the Px4 did not do so well, internationally it was a huge success.

    Add a .338 with big glass for long range and that would be a hell of an apocalypse gun list.........the man know's what he is doing that's for damn sure. I can't wait to get my Langdon Beretta one day. I have the Wilson centurion and it's great but I want both. As soon as I can The 1301 and PX4 are on my list. I will most likely have to slowly build them out with his parts due to finances but that's why their stuff is so great. That trigger in a bag concept makes men like me smile like Christmas morning. My plan was to buy a 92X centurion and do Langdon upgrades but the guy at the shop had the used Wilson for a good deal so I did that.......I may carry out my O.G plan on a full size if I am unable to get a complete gun fro him. In a way that's why I'm leaning toward a PX-4 also. If I snatch one at a pawn shop I a buy a slide/trigger kit from good old Ernest after to slap an optic on. Thanks for the content James........and thank's Ernest Langdon for being AWESOME.
