Anyone use one of these? Love it or hate it?
Currently CCing a mak. Curious about these because more guns.
Don't like them cause I shot myself in the leg with one once and haven't carried it since.

If you are used to sweeping the safety down for fire on your Mak, you may not like the fact that you will have to sweep the safety up for fire on the Beretta.

Sorry, didn't mention the model. It's a Beretta Storm subcompact.
>>30574999
Good point. I'm sure I can get used to it with some range time.
I kinda want one because I'm a weeaboo fuck, but the full size shoots like a dream too. Thoughts on the compact and subcompact for CCW?
It's a neat looking gun too. I love the curves on the little bastard.
The Storm subcompact isn't that great, it doesn't have anything that makes the larger PX4s good. Not even the rotating barrel.
If you want to carry a PX4, get a PX4 compact carry.
My favorite CC gun is the Walther PPS. Cheap as hell, comfiest subcompact to shoot with a great trigger and reliable. It's easily as good as the Glock 43, and I think a bit better than the M&P Shield
Shield

Can you explain a little more? It has a totally different action, but so what? There's nothing wrong with the tilting barrel locked breech design.
>>30575209
I think he's simply stating that one of the chief differences between the Px4 and other handguns is the design feature not present in the subcompact. Nothing wrong with it, but it means you're losing one of the reasons to use the gun in the first place.
>>30575223
I don't follow. How is the special snowflake lock up system a "reason to use the gun in the first place"? It seems to me that's just how Beretta builds their guns. If I wanted a special snowflake carry gun, that would be one thing, but most people just want a gun in a certain size class and caliber that works.

What, is that what Canaan used?

The safety is fucking terrible. This coming from a guy who actually likes the 92/M9 safety. On the 92, the levers are a good size and flip pretty easily and are in a nice spot.
I've never tried the sub compact, but on the full size PX4 there's no way in hell I could get that damn safety off in a stress situation. It's like slippery and sharp. It's a terrible design. If it's all I had I would just carry with the safety off.
Take a look at the P30SK if you want a small DA/SA polymer-framed pistol. It might be a little pricier than you want but they are typically cheaper than standard P30s. And you have other trigger options and variants with and without safeties. Plus dat ergonomic grip.
But really besides the safety I liked the trigger and it kinda felt like a real pistol (not like a toy like a Glock feels), which is rare for a polymer piece, and the recoil was pretty nice. Although I shot the full size .45 though so my comments on recoil should be pretty irrelevant.

It is indeed.

Learned a lesson, did we? Glad it didn't do lasting damage.

I was close to getting one once. I think I didn't because the overall height was more than I wanted and I didn't like the slide safety. But it's got a great capacity for it's size.
