3 new guns in 3 weeks  :

I picked up a new PX4 9mm Compact. It still has the rotating barrel, but is smaller than the fullsize. It's about the size of the P2000 I got recently.



I decided that I already have some Beretta 92's and a couple of 1911s for fullsize range guns. I'm always rotating my collection for something new, but rarely do I buy different carry gun. The guns just sit in the safe until I get around to shooting a particular one every few months.

After doing that for so many years, I decided to do something different. Now I have several carry guns - guns I can rotate thru whenever I get the urge. But, they'll see some actual use.

I shot my fullsize PX4 last week a little prior to shooting my HK P2000sk last week. Fell back in love with it. Played with a PX4 compact earlier this week, and decided to get one.

I just got back from the range with it. Shoots very good. I shoot it about equal to the similar size HKP2000 9mm I got 2 weeks ago. The DA pull is a little lighter on the PX4s than on the HKs, though. The new PX4 compact worked 100% with both FMJ and JHP. I also did both two handed and one handed shooting all in DA for every shot, and some shots at the end of the indoor range (15 yards). I am very satisfied with the gun.

So, I got the HK P2000, P2000sk and PX4 compact in the last 3 weeks. The new gun train is done for now... Outta money now  

Here is my Pair-O-PX4s:

Get some stealth levers for it (or do the Type G mod on your standard levers) And you have one hell of a carry gun.

That is nice.

However, I think I am in the minority - I do not like the G thing that much. I've had over 25 Beretta 92s over the years - I am just so used to the FS style of safety.

I previously bought a PX4 years ago, and I had the chance at a G model with stealth levers and night sights already on it (a police package). I personally am happy with it as is. But thanks for the suggestion.

I may ad night sights eventually - that will likely be it

Right on. The PX4 Compact is a great gun as is, I just like to tinker.

Night sights can be tough to find for these. I picked mine up off of bhphotovideo.com . They seem to have them in stock quite steadily.

I don't trust anyone local. I would just send the slide to Trijicon, likely.
