PX4 9mm Inox Slide
12/4/2011 5:01:07 PM
I currently own a PX4 .40 that I absolutely love to shoot and have had no problems with. So I was interested in getting one in 9mm. After looking at a local Academy Sport today I saw that they had one with a stainless slide that is listed as the PX4 Inox. After looking it over for a bit I noticed that the trigger pull seems to be quite a bit lighter then my .40. (Not sure why this particular gun did not have trigger lock. Maybe because it was in the safe and not on display.) Is this usually the case with varying calibers on the same platform? I have never had 2 of the same handguns in different calibers, so not sure if this is normal. Not that I am complaining as I prefer to have a much lighter trigger pull.
Thanks in advance.
ETA: Both of these are the full size models.

I have the PX4 9mm in full frame, picked it up when they first became available back in the day. Just picked up a PX4 Subcompact in 9mm for the wife. The trigger on the sub is WAY heavier than my older 9mm. I understand the sub is new and all that but the older has a lighter pull and smoother break.
I have noticed the triggers are different on the Glocks as well. The parts are all supposed to be readily interchangeable (or so i understood) and the trigger on several seperate brand new Glocks (17,19, 21, 29) were different. The 21 and 29 were similar but the 19 was the lightest and 17 by far the heaviest.
Just what i noticed.

I can see why there might be a difference between a sub-compact and a full size. Just not essentially the same guns.

Dunno about the silver slide version, but the PX4 is radically different if you load it or not.
Try your .40 unloaded and see if it seems the same. There is a huge, long, light trigger pull if it's empty on the 9mm. Not so much with a round in it or cocked.

It reads like you are describing the difference between the double-action and single-action trigger pulls, which is normal and to be expected.

No. I am talking about the SA trigger pull after you cock the hammer. The .40 when cocked for single action seems to break with more pressure then the 9. The 40 almost feels like 4-5lbs vs the 9 which feels more like 3lbs.
