I got two PX4 GSDs from LTT. One has the NP3 coating. There is no difference whatsoever in smoothness or whatever you want to call it. Both are great pistols.
My dude, I just got sold when you showed the trigger in SA. And thank you for showing. I just got and installed my TJIB on 7/6/24; I've yet to shoot my Px4 but wow. Turned into a different gun.
Thanks for the review. The Px4 Compact Carry was the first handgun I bought after 7 yrs in the Marines, but not shooting for 15+ yrs. I out shot everyone with it.. Getting the G-SD next!.
Thanks. Subbed! More PX4 and Langdon content please. Have had several of their products, including the older PX4s, P30s and 92s. Nothing but great things to say about them. Have a newer PX4 on the way now too.
I modified my PX4 grips by adding on Talon rubber palm grips and the sand paper finger grip texture on the barrel just as you did. You got to make the gun comfortabel for you to shoot. GOOD REVIEW 👍🏾
The only reason I didn’t purchase this exact setup is because they did nothing to the grip. I already have the px4 compact and converted it, added upgrades etc. I run it without an optic but that’s the only thing missing.
I feel the same way about the Talon Rubber grips. Yeah they feel good, but they're not very effective when it comes to traction. They can be very slippery. Idk if you tried the Talon PRO texture before, but I'd caution against that as well. They feel great, and have awesome traction. But the texture doesn't last, it wears off pretty quickly. I've replaced mine twice after several months of use. This isn't just an isolated incident either. I've heard others with the same experience. Ben Johnson replaced his after several weeks. I've moved onto Handleitgrips EDGE grips since then.
I change out my Talon grips as needed. It is nothing wrong with them wearing out after three months; it just means you are shooting a lot. Besides, Talon even tell you the grips will not last forever 👍🏾
If Beretta would release a new PX4 subcompact with a rotating barrel I would order one direct from Langdon in a heartbeat. As it is, the current offerings are just a little too big and heavy for me. I could say the exact thing about a Cajunized CZ P01 as well. Wish they'd go a little smaller for more practical cc, I'm just not looking for pistols that I would only use at the range. Maybe we'll see some new subcompacts in the next few years, until then the P30SK lem is where it's at for me. Thanks for the video
Yeah, it's really too bad. I'd like to think that Firearm companies are taking hard look at conceal options due to the wild popularity of micro 9's over the past few years though. I'd really like to see a smaller P01. The P01 is such a fine piece with a ridiculously handsome price but it's just not small enough to make the cut. I don't even like to look at it because it hurts...
How many quartz crystals can you get in a watch? You’re going to be late anyway. No room for rotating barrel and little benefit from a short rotating barrel, not enough mass.
Softer recoil by a bit, if you get both done up by Langdon though it’s a pretty close toss up with the px4 having better recoil but a p30 lem will have the better trigger and still less recoil than most other guns
I told you who to ask lol, pretty sure his credentials and opinion hold plenty of value. Go take a class from him maybe he can help you learn how to be more effective.
Personally, I think it’s regrettable that Beretta “teamed up with” Langdon and has come close to doubling the price of what was once a very good quality, reasonably priced self defense pistol (as it came from the factory). My first was a 9mm compact (EDC which I still carry to this day), it cost me $500 at Cabela’s and Beretta had a $50 rebate on it at the time. Admittedly, that’s been a few years ago. My second is a 45ACP, full size home defense (nightstand) gun, also was reasonably priced. Typical of a “competitive” shooter (not everyone is), what I’ve seen LTT’s partnership with Beretta do is substantially drive up the price of what was once an attractively priced self defense gun. 🤏😒
@@randyreviewsit Yeah, that was basically my point. Several of the so-called improvements are great IF you’re after a competition “race gun” like Landon makes it. Otherwise a lot (most?) of his changes are either cosmetic or designed to improve competition scores. 🤷🏼. If you’re an old fart like me with old eyes, you’re not going to benefit from most of his changes - maybe with the exception of his trigger job. Which, as you pointed out, Beretta should be doing at the factory themselves. 🙄. Glad I bought my PX4’s when I did - back when they were reasonably priced SELF DEFENSE pistols.
@@larrysfarristo be fair, you don’t HAVE to do this stuff. The 92X is a great gun without the tricks, they still offer the FS, M9, etc. I was even tempted by a Girsan (Turkish copy) that was cheaper then the 92x but finally settled on the real deal. The APX A1 is also probably one of the best deals right now price wise. $450 (or so) for a Beretta striker fire pistol.
@@Thabosshoss To be fair, IF you want a COMPACT PX4 Storm with the rotating barrel, then Beretta’s option is now limited to a more expensive Gen 2 which more than shows the Landon touches (at a corresponding higher price point) AND a heavier (bull?) barrel on a CARRY gun. Just doesn’t make sense to me but I’m sure the free market will sort it out…sooner or later. 💁🏻♂️
