    Do you have a PX4, Langdon 92, or Wilson Combat 92 yet?

    Well as far as the PX4, I have a bad allergy to polymer frame handguns, but I am looking for an 8045F Cougar Beretta in 45. Which I think the PX4 may be based off of.

    To the WC or Langdon, not my thing. I know they are nice but I just like that Beretta look

    I like your problems :draw:

    I don't think its a bad area to collect. Those Beretta pistols can get pretty collectable and will hold value well. I've got several on the list. Really want one of those old 71s in 22 LR

    I try and avoid gunbroker, but that is where the good stuff is.

    Recently on there was a 92FS with the longslide kit. and a 92/96 combo. A single 90 series frame witth slides and barrels for both 9mm and 40S&W.

    I find myself very interested in Beretta since I picked up the m9a4 and it became my favorite pistol (of those I've shot). I have since purchased a 21a. Also got a 1301 last spring/summer.

    I can't help you, I have the same problem. My first gun was a full-size 92FS, and I now have an 81, a 92X Compact, and an A300 as well. I want to try a PX4, just haven't found the right deal yet. I've shot a mini-cougar, and while the rotating barrel concept is interesting, I didn't feel that it mitigated recoil all that much, probably because of the bulky slide and all that reciprocating mass.

    The grip mods and improved trigger of the 92X have breathed new life into the platform for me, and I find myself carrying that compact on a pretty regular basis these days.

    I watched the recent release of the 80X Cheetah at SHOT, and while I have no interest in a blowback .380, I can't help but think how awesome that gun would be if they'd re-design it to function off of a locked-breech and chambered it in 9mm. A metal-framed DA/SA carry gun in that form factor would be awesome.

    There’s no problem in knowing what you like and sticking to it. I’ve tried to dabble in beretta but always come back to more CZs

    Very cool, but unless its got the Three Arrows.. just dosen't scream beretta to me.

    Excluding anything that doesn’t have factory grips on it means you’re missing out on a lot of vastly improved stuff, IMO. If it bothers you that much, buy a set of G10 grips w/ the three arrows on it. Seems silly to avoid a superior product, literally made in the same factory originally, because it doesn’t have factory grips… But more for everyone else, I guess! ;)

    My first mod to my 92 FS was Wilson ultra thin grips and they have the Wilson combat logo on them. Also a Wilson steel trigger.

    I too wish the PX4 were metal framed, I would probably have several by now.
