beretta px4 storm

Well quite frankly for a gun that's 'raved' with all these rds down the pipe, CBSA mandates that they get serviced every 3 years, meaning you get a new gun or you get one that's been "refurnished" by the armoury.Considering the glock barrel life is about 15,000 rds, by the time the average CBSA pistol hits the 3 year mark, at the officer level it's had about maybe 1500 rds down the pipe, go figure. Not an impressive maintenance program for such a "reliable" pistol. CBSA should have went with the HK p2000 like the Correction boys did!. Most officers at CBSA are on their second or third pistol within the first 3 years?

Cool, the way I shoot I'd get a new gun 8 times a year, if they went by round count - sign me up!!!

That or a p30. both are triggerless disassembly. And would run circles around a px4. Or a glock 19 or 17, however those two dont meet the triggerless disassembly criteria.

There are at least 3 members on this forum who were heavily involved in setting the parameters for the CBSA pistol tests, shooting the guns, and evaluating the data. None of them have anything nice to say about the guns in person. But the decision to field the gun was made for a variety of reasons. It is funny that other pistols that were submitted, failed simple tests, like the M&P and the drop test (bye bye mag). Of course S&W fixed that problem later, but guns submitted are what's tested, and the PX4 as horrible as it is (a gun designed by a car designed not a gun person) passed all the tests.

if any of them would care to PM me with details about why the PX4 is deficient as a duty pistol I would be in the position to do something about it for reasons that I wont get into in public...if it's more than just basic complaints but, actually something that makes the firearm dangerous or inappropriate. I am aware of the M&P failing the drop test.
