Beretta Px4 Storm customization

[ruggiedj]

A couple of questions for the my fellow Px4 owners. I have the full size 9mm and I was wondering what kind of accessories/customizing I could put on/do to it. Also what kind Holsters are used?

I have a full size 9mm PX4 also. I have only done a few upgrades to mine.


First, I had Meprolight Tru-Dot Night Sights installed.

Next, I installed a Beretta 92/PX4 "D-spring". This is the hammer spring that the double action only PX4's come with. Installing this spring greatly reduced the double action trigger pull, and slightly improved the single action pull. (this is well worth the $7.50)

Lastly, I converted my model F (safety/decocker) into a model G (decocker only). You can do this conversion yourself if you wish, or you can send your slide to the guy in the link below and he can do it for $25.


When I carry my PX4 I use a Galco FLETCH for OWB carry, and I use a Crossbreed Supertuck for IWB carry.


Also, when my PX4 is on nightstand duty, I use a Streamlight TLR-1s weapon light and a 20 round magazine.





Here are the some links to the upgrades I have done.

Good info from ps!

Those are the standard mods that many seem to do.

As far as holsters go, there are many many options depending on how you want to carry. Right now I'm using the Remora 10 with full sweat shield.

Uh.. Yeah I did a couple of things to mine
Action by Dave Olhasso (I don't know if he still does or not)
Converted to "G" model, decock only
Sent to Robar for NP 3 slide and internals along with stippling the frame. And XS sights

Great info pokersamurai. Thanks everyone. I am mainly looking for a holster that is good for around the range. Not planning on carrying at this moment.

I picked up a stainless model a month or so ago in 9mm. Almost thought about trading it towards a 1911 but couldn't bring myself to do so as it's such a nice soft shooting 9. A real joy at the range.

Custom color combo is always an option too. Oh and BTW I could help with that

 

[Bluedragon]

Not to be a thread jack but has anyone tried suppressing a PX4? Is it possible with the rotating barrel?

I have the blackhawk holster. It can be worn on a belt and also comes with a paddle which is much more convenient and surprisingly comfortable. I use this holster to carry and also on the range (the few times I've been since I've owned the gun).

It is possible, and in theory the PX4 would run more reliably than most pistols due to the fact it uses a rotating barrel as opposed to a tilting barrel (which is more likely to malfunction because the weigh of the suppressor throws off the tilting effect of the barrel)

However, as this video demonstrates, suppressors on the PX4 (at least in .45) do have a tendency to work themselves loose when firing.

Well that's a shame. I was more concerned if I would need to use a booster with the rotating barrel..but that sucks to hear the can's come loose from the recoil.

 

[ruggiedj]

Is the suppressor coming "loose" normal for other guns as well?

 

[Bluedragon]

Suppressors tend to back themselves out over time while continuously shooting. The manual that comes with my AAC suppressor recommends checking the suppressor between each mag for looseness.

But the way the video from SWR made it sound it's coming to loose to fast. Or at least that's the impression I got.

 

[ruggiedj]

The suppressor coming loose in the video, is that more the rotating barrel or the wrong thread used?

 

[Bluedragon]

The rotating barrel.

I went with a blackhawk serpa holster
