Guns

[Ramseys]

Well I finally got around to changing my Beretta PX4 Storm "F" type to a "G" type.




There are, by the way, 4 types:




Type C: So-called to be Single-action-only ("Constant Action" - hammer is in half-cocked position). Spurless hammer. No decocker. No safety.




Type D: Double-action-only. Spurless hammer. No decocker. No safety.




Type F: Single and double-action. Decocker. Manual safety.




Type G: Single and double-action. Decocker. No manual safety.




 




The F type's Decocker. Manual safety stuck out of the sides of the slide like ears on British Royalty.








Even the holster had to have a 'bump' molded into it to accommodate the things.




 




I bought, from Beretta, genuine parts, to convert  to a lower profile safety levers and to make it so they don't lock the levers down in the safe' position, but allow them to return to the 'fire' position, after 'decocking' the gun.








Notice the detent ball' on the old ones on the right.




So now it's not as bumpy, very svelte.

The kit even had a low profile slide stop lever:








 




Now, onward; The Christmas I got my second PX4 Storm, only this time in .45acp, and a "C" type.




Type C: So-called to be Single-action-only ("Constant Action" - hammer is in half-cocked position). Spurless hammer. No decocker. No safety.




What that looks like, "Cocked":








And once you fire the gun: (note the lack of levers)








Since it is no bigger than the 9mm one, I can use my old holsters.




Only I'm not getting poked with the safety levers.




On big plus for me is that when I am holstering the gun, I put my thumb on the back of the slide, and if something  gets snagged in the trigger, I can feel the hammer move back to it's 'full cock' position. And stop pushing down before I blow a hole in my ass.




Most striker fired guns don't give you any indication that the gun is going to fire. 




 




If you want to see a short video some guy did on explaining the action:




It's under a min.

 So far I like it a lot. But the trigger is different. More like a double action revolver. 




I anyone is interested here in the states, I know a place that has them pretty cheap.
