 hey there friends thanks for checking in today we have another is this pistol still relevant video and i've been getting a lot of feedback and i'm certainly enjoying this ongoing series last week i featured the springfield armory 911 chambered in nine millimeter when they came out with this it was chambered 380 then they came out with it in nine millimeter and it went in direct competition with the sig p 938 and i i think it's cool it's got a aluminum frame three inch barrel night sights comes with a six and a seven round magazine 1911 light controls it is single action only and people who love hammer fire guns and they they want to carry cocked and locked in single action for a pocket pistol it's a phenomenal handgun and that's the feedback that i got many people said why did springfield discontinue that handgun it was selling well the msrp was 580 at a time much lower price than the sig p 938 and kimber met a lot lower than the the kimber micro nines but also a little bit smaller and people said they they love it they they carry it many people said they had the 380 model some people said they carry the sig several people said as i'm watching this video i'm carrying mine right now so by and large they said this is relevant should have never been discontinued cool handgun but what i'm featuring today is equally as popular it's very different so stick with me on this this is a beretta px4 storm now this one has been discontinued it's extremely different has the 17 round magazine full-size handgun but what makes this different and you can see it's a bit beat up but i picked this up used when i went to pick it up i was expecting a double action single action handgun px4 storm has the rotating barrel that actually softens the shot quite a bit but this is a type d and that is why i'm asking is this relevant bread discontinued it they discontinued many of the handguns in the px4 storm line and many people love the langdon tactical modifications but this has none of those i paid three and a quarter for it at the time but it is double action only okay you can see right there double action no safety no decocker no no reason for a decocker until i was introduced by the previous owner i was disappointed but i was like you know for three and a quarter i can't get hurt too bad so i picked it up took it to the range and i was pretty surprised at how well it fired had some experience with the px4 line not a lot and i'm like this double action trigger pull is super heavy but it's a straight shooter there's no doubt about that and that is why many people love the beretta px4 line okay the rotating barrel it's soft it shoots straight it's a nice overall handgun this one is different double action only so that light trigger pull that you're used to with the single action double action just isn't here with the type d model which explains why they discontinued it is it still relevant today a lot of people say well if it goes bang and you can use it for self defense absolutely it is relevant however would you buy this imagine you and i met up and i was selling this for three and a quarter would you buy this for three and a quarter which is what i paid for it several years ago it's got that nice recoil system the double action trigger is heavy one of the things that makes this a little different here this click right here that click right there is not the reset that would be nice the reset is right there full trigger position full double action trigger pull i actually like the handgun but it's not the type of handgun that i'm going to take out and shoot i've compared it with other handguns and i said you know what i'm going to hold on to this for a little while because i like it i don't know if i'm going to hold on to it forever because it's that type of handgun that you enjoy owning but you don't shoot it too often and i'm sure you guys have some firearms like that as well but it's a type d discontinued it originally was produced for law enforcement and then it made its way out to the civilian market and i think it's cool but do you think it's still relevant in today's golden age of handguns where there are just so many choices or do you think bretta made a good move by discontinuing it people said springfield should have never discontinued this you think bretta should have never discontinued this or do you think it's still an outstanding handgun and you would buy it for three and a quarter in a second i look forward to your feedback i always do about the bretta px4 storm type d double action only if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
