I did several trigger pull checks on the scale and worked on an average of 10 tests and discarded the highest and lowest pull weights that I recorded.īy replacing the standard hammer spring with a Wilson Combat Chrome Silicon 12lb Beretta 92 hammer spring the DA trigger pull came down to 7.75lb and the slight drop of about 0.5lb on SA. Out of the box the trigger pull weights on this gun are approximately 9.75lb DA and 6lb SA on this PX4C. An added benefit of upgrading to the Low Profile Type G levers is that the levers are the same width as the slide width and they shave off 6mm from the overall slide width of the PX4C with the Type F Safety/Decocker levers. The sample model PX4C that I am testing has been converted to a Type G with the Type G only Low Profile decocker lever kit. A “How To” video clip is available and I added the link below for those who may be interested in doing the change, which by the way I recommend. The second is to convert the Type F lever to a decocker only mode of operation by removing the ball detent in the safety lever shaft. The first is to replace the Type F safety lever with the Beretta Low Profile Type G decocker levers (Part# E00348). There are 2 ways to convert the Type F to a Type G decocker only operation. The Type C differs from the Type D in that it the hammer rest in the half cock position for each shot and therefore has a lighter and shorter DA trigger pull because the hammer spring is already under some tension. The “C” apparently stands for or refers to “Constant Action”.

Type C is a modified DA only version with no safety and no decocker. Type D is a DA only version with no safety and no decocker. The Type G is a DA/SA Decocker only setup. When the safety lever is flip up the rear and forward portions of the firing pin align again. When the hammer is decocked the rear portion of the firing pin has rolled with the safety lever and is not aligned with the forward portion of the firing so it is impossible for the hammer to hit on or activate the firing pin. The rear portion of the firing pin is contained in the safety lever bar and when the safety lever is activated the rear portion of the firing pin rolls with the safety lever so that the hammer cannot make contact with the firing pin. The decocker/safety has a very interesting mode of operation which is made possible by a two-piece firing pin.

Leaving the lever in the safe position results in a trigger which moves a full arc when pulled but does not activate the hammer, so it is basically inert. If one does not want the pistol to be in the safe position for carry one has to flip the “safety” lever up. The Type F decocker lever will decock the hammer and automatically move into the safe position.

The PX4C available in South Africa, and it seems most anywhere else, is the Type F which is DA/SA with Decocker and Safety feature. So here are some of my thoughts on the sleeper EDC gun of 2016. These are my observations and thoughts and to not bore you I am not going to try to do another review and say basically the same that the other reviewers are saying anyway. My interest and research led me to a couple of recent articles/reviews of the PX4 Storm Compact (I will refer to it as the PX4C) and after reading them all I decided that I had to closely look at one to see for myself why people are starting to talk about this gun. I got interested in the PX4 Compact when I decided that I want to seriously try out AIWB EDC and I realised that I was not comfortable AIWB carry a striker fired pistol. It seems to me that quite a few shooters are beginning to see the excellent potential of the PX4 Storm Compact and the viability of the DA/SA trigger system for EDC.
