I have gone gun trading crazy. It all started with a G22. Loved it and still do. I traded it for a G19 for cheaper ammo and possibly using it in CCW. Then I traded for G17 with some 33rd mags and decided that when I do CCW it would likely be a sub compact anyway. Did I mention all this took place in like the last 2 months? Anyway, the other night I was checking out a local website of "classified" ads for guns and ammo. I came across a Beretta PX4 and I fell in love. I'm talking faster than I fell in love with my wife here. (If I want her to know that I'll tell her. :D ). So the dude was looking to trade straight up for a Glock and I thought to myself "Hey I have one of those!" So I sent him an email and the game was afoot again.

Now let me be very clear. I have never had a single issue of a negative nature with the Glock's that I have owned recently. I have only put about 500 rounds thru each of them though, but the point is Glock is no doubt an industry leader for a reason. The ONLY reason I traded with this guy is because I got a little bored with the simplicity of the design in the Glock.

You know what I'm talking about. They all look the same!!! And they all function the same way (flawless BTW). I decided that not only was this Beretta PX4 drop dead sexy, but it had a lot of cool features to keep an indecisive guy like myself interested in it. I love the SA/DA and DAO. I love the external saftey and decocker and the panels you can change on the grip. And I'm still learning about it but this design on the chamber that is supposed to "soak up" some of the recoil. Don't know what it's called but it's tits!!!

Now this is a .40 S&W model and I know the ammo will be a bit more expensive, but the fella I traded with threw in 200 Remington JHP's so target ammo is all I'll need and I'm looking around for that in bulk.

I hope I have settled down now on this gun trading stuff. I should really go see a shrink about this contentment issue I have. :rolleyes:
 
There is always going to be something to tempt you. It is never the last one I'am going to get. It is just a matter of time, befor the next one comes. orchidhunter
 
congratz :)

a buddy has a Storm and raves about it. i'd be surprised if you weren't really happy with it.
 
Forum Reading

Forum reading often leads to trades and purchases of other guns.

The decision to make is really this what is best for me?

What is best for other forum participants is very likely not be what is
best for you.

There are many handgun choices and you may come to realize you can't have one of everything.

I spent a lot of money in learning what I just wrote.

I have never owned a Beretta handgun that was not among the best money can buy.

GO!!!!!!!

If I remember correctly, I think the reason the Beretta shoots a little "softer" is because it uses a rotating barrel cam and pin lock/short recoil system.
 
I hope you like the PX4, I had a 9mm type G (the rare decocker only, came with 3 mags).

It worked just fine, but the grip bit into my thumb knuckle when I shot it, so I ended up selling it for more than I paid the dealer.

Good luck.
 
+1 on the pics and choice. I went from a Glock 22 .40 to a Colt .45 Commander 1911. I still love my glock, its my bedside gun being it haas the CT laser and tack light now.

Yep. Folks always showing off cool stuff. :cool:

After that Glock porn, I bet two people run out and buy one. :D
 
You're going to love the PX4 Storm! I am just approaching 3,000 rounds through my 9mm without a single problem and it is extremely accurate! This is my carry gun and it goes with me everywhere I go!:)
