In a Nutshell.. ArmyAviator
Quote: Sir,
I take that you've some concern about it being a Browning tilt vs. rotating lug. I'd appreciate your explanation. Just trying to educate me prior to expenditure of considerable $$.
------------------
...
The full size Px4's both, in 9mm and 40cal, have rotating barrels, which do not tilt, but simply rotate to receive the next round, while at the same time, absorbing recoil, which makes both models comfy (forgiving) shooters.
The SC's are too short, barrel-wise, to use this, so they're going with tilt-up barrels, for chambering the next round, like 1911's/Sigs, etc., which means with small guns, big calibers, more kick/snap, and it will be all in the grip of those that can fit those tiny guns in a comfy, 2-hand grip.
FYI (for your information), I doubt seriously if your gun dealer "has one, a SC 40cal, in stock", as Beretta announced they "hope to start first deliverys of the first SC's in Jan 08", and most likely, from another Beretta source, "will be in 9mm first".
Hold on to your hard earned money, meaning, don't send any to hold one, cause if what he says he has, then I'm betting he has a full size Px4 40cal, which are going for anywhere, NIB, from 450 - 650 bucks, on average.
Safe flying to ya, PIC here as well..
