It has been eight years since our nation was attacked by people from the middle east, yet still we allow them to walk across our borders, drive our taxi's, run our 7-11's and take part in countless opportunities this great country offers, as many of them lay in wait for their chance to destroy us and our way of life.
We all know, whether we want to come to terms with it or not, that it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when, these people will attack us again and their goal is to do it bigger and better than they did on 9-11-2001.
However, let us not depair, when they light up a dirty nuke (or a clean one), a chemical or biological bomb that kills two or three or ten million americans, us lazy, fat, sports watching, video game playing, barbecuing, capitalists will take our nations security into our own hands and cure our country of this blight that has befallen us.
Keeping in mind of course that those who spew and continue to spew their liberal drivel, no matter what their social position, just might find themselves in the same ranks as our enemies, and justly so.
Is it too late to stop the next attack, probably. Will it happen today, we'll find out real soon. If not, there will be more illumination from this compound.

I recently acquired one of the new Beretta PX4 Storms, in the 9mm variety.

The model I decided on is the C model, C standing for constant action. This model always shoots in the double action mode, and the trigger pull is shorter, lighter and smoother, than most other double action pistols.

After shooting around 700 (seven hundred) rounds, I can tell you that this gun is very accurate right out of the box, the trigger pull is shorter, about half of a normal double action trigger pull. The lighter part I'm not so sure of, it seems to me too be about the same as any other gun, (I would like it to be about one half as light as it is) but I can live with it. Smoother, yes it is very smooth, and there is absolutely no creep in it at all. It glides through the pull cycle, and has a crisp hammer drop at the end. When your shooting this pistol, it feels like your shooting a revolver, only with 17 (seventeen) shots, 18 (eighteen) with one in the pipe.

The PX4 Storm has a polymer frame and a metal slide, it has somewhat aggressive checkering on the front and back straps. It comes with 2, (two) 17 (seventeen) round magazines, three different size back straps so the shooter can adjust the gun to the most comfortable fit.

However, there are a couple of things that I do not care for about this pistol. Unlike a revolver, when you use a dummy round for trigger pull practice, after you pull the trigger, you have to rack the slide about one half inch to reset the hammer, its not enough to eject the round, so you do not have to reload the bullet every time, but it does get a little old. The other thing I dislike, and I think Beretta may change this later, is the plug in the end of the recoil spring guide is made of plastic, and the first time I cleaned the PX4, I managed to allow the recoil  spring pressure to rip one of the 2 (two) teeth off, and mutilated the other one. This little indiscretion has not effected the performance of the pistol in any way. However I did replace the whole recoil spring assembly, and now everybody is happy.

The most disappointing part of my purchase of this gun was what Beretta calls "Superluminova" sights. These are kind of represented as night sights, but they are just a light storing chemical that glows in the dark after being subjected to some light source. They have some kind of film that is put over the light storing chemical that looks like a glass contact lens, pretty zoot huh! NOT!!! After the first shooting session, 2 (two) of the 3 (three) lens' fell off into the abyss, and as a matter of course, the third one stayed stuck on to the bitter end. I checked on the internet to see if anyone else was having this problem, and everyone was. So instead of sending the gun back to Beretta, I took the advice of others and put some nitro solvent on the remaining lens, and removed it, (it took it right off) and used a dab of Testors white model paint in the sight indentations, and the sights are working great. So no matter which gun you buy or which manufacturer you choose, "Superluminova" sights have too go!

This latest Beretta firearm feels good my hand, the muzzle rise is not as much as the Beretta 92FS, maybe because of the rotating barrel function, and the constant action works just as good as a double/single action after a very small learning curve, without the difference in trigger pull when transitioning to the single action on those models.

The PX4 Storm, model C, has no external safety, no exposed hammer, if you don't count the 1/16 inch of the hammer that sticks out (with a red edge) when the pistol is cocked, and no adjustable sights. It has a traditional magazine release that can be changed to adapt to a left-handed shooter. The barrel is chrome lined for easy cleaning, it has a picatinny rail located under the barrel, a dragon tongue trigger, and tear drop indexing dents that have the field stripping nubs centered in them, which allows the PX4 to be field striped very quick and easy.

All in all, I'm am very pleased with the PX4 Storm, to this date I have shot over seven hundred rounds in the PX4 with no problems, (using target loads only) and with no external safety to poke me, this gun is slated to become one of my favorite large frame carry guns.
