Title: Pistol comparisons (pic heavy)
Post by: Cyanide on October 14, 2014, 02:09:08 PM
Since questions come up from time to time concerning comparative pistol sizes, I've decided to share various images of my collection stacked against each other from different angles.

Some of these pistols you are going to see are no longer in the stable per se, and there are a couple I either just recently acquired or will acquire soon but have no photos like these yet (CZ 2075 RAMI BD, Beretta 8000D, S&W M&P Shield).

For the record, I am granting permission to any of you who wish to copy these pictures to do so in the hope of it helping assist with any decisions towards getting/not getting a certain pistol or, to assist when you are having a friendly debate with a friend or associate lol.

WARNING: Lots of images coming!

CZ P-01 vs CZ P-07

Geez, you would put me on the spot wouldn't you? Lol. As of right now and, in no particular order (though subject to change soon with the acquisition of my Beretta 8000 D).

CZ P-07

I will save my reasons for another thread, as I don't want this one getting sidetracked by any possible debating and arguing between any of us. Want to keep this one on track as a side by side picture comparison.

Steyr disassembly, though doing it one-handed takes practice, as the take down lever is backed by a pretty stiff spring!

Comparison of my grip on a Steyr M9 (identical on newer models), Gen 3 Glock 19 (my preference is Gen 4 models), and CZ P-07. The red lines are there simply to demonstrate hand position, by showing my trigger finger knuckle location, as well as the 'wrap-around dimple" where the webbing of my hand actually starts it's wrap around the backstrap. I've never personally suffered "Slide Bite" on a Glock, but I can see where the concern is for some.

I made a mistake in purchasing the PPS over the P99Compact. Sold the PPS and never got the P99 since I started shooting CZs. I am not interested in striker fired pistols so I guess I never will get one.
I am waiting for the reintroduction of the Beretta Centurion.

Post by: Cyanide on November 27, 2014, 09:43:32 PM
I just recently sold the P99C, and may have to get rid of my Rami D (backed against a wall $$$-wise, since spent two of the last 3 weeks broke down before having to go home).

Sitting here going through all the comparison pictures and I cannot believe that I have not thrown the SR9C into any of them. Going to have to correct that next time I go home, as well as the M&P Shield sitting at my dealer awaiting installation of ATS sights!

Ya shoot my CZ 100 you may want to acquire one for yourself FJ!

Andrew, I no longer have the Glock 26. The RAMI & P99C pics are very similar to a RAMI vs G26/G27 comparison. The CZ is a little shorter in OAL but a smidgen wider due to the external levers,  and they're both about the same height, whether equipped with the stock short mag or an extended mag w/ grip sleeve.

Not to side track, but I must say that concerning striker fire pistols I do see why they have their fans (myself included) and I must admit to the following:
If CZ ever builds another striker fire pistol ala the CZ 100 and/or Beretta builds one based off of the PX4 (especially the compact size), I will be all over that like white on rice!

Probably last comparison pics for awhile, barring any requests of stuff in my current collection (recently sold off and just shipped out both of my CZ P-07's and the RAMI D, my last Walther P99, and my Steyr C9-A1).

Just spent a little bit of time perusing one of various Cabela's I visit in my travels across the country and decided to snap a few pictures of a couple of other pistols. My apologies for the poor lighting, as it wasn't exactly the greatest in there.

 I chose these because I have one variant already with the PX4 D, and presently on layaway is a Sig P250 Compact (identical size as P320 Compact pictured here), and a FNH FNS-9.

Enjoy!

Tok36, you're very welcome!

On a quick (personal) side note, we all know everybody likes to mess with me as my CZ 100 is my primary carry (though right now I am wearing my Glock), so I figured I would add in another few pics as to why I love it so much.

Look at how short the grip is front-to-back, and then, combined with the traditional CZ backstrap arch makes for one extremely comfortable pistol.

Congratulations on the new Sphinx  :) ............and the new Glock!  ;)
You'll have to let us know how they shoot for You!

As for your Cz100, the closest I've ever been able to come to that, is my S&W SW9VE, which does have a different Grip Angle, but a similar Backstrap.
I've been carrying the SW9VE most of the Summer and plan to keep carrying it on into the Winter.
I have become more accustomed to it's DAO Trigger and have removed that horrible pigtail rebound spring, which makes the Trigger now equivalent to the newer SD9VE's.
I'm considering having the Slide Cerakoted flat Black.

Try again, minus the quote from Fireman Jones!!!

Hey now, not trying to interest ya in it FJ! It just seems that almost everyone uses the Glock 19 as the benchmark for a compact pistol, and strangely enough a lot of people don't realize there are plenty of awesome compact pistols out there, and they aren't named Glock!

But it will always take a backseat to the P-07, as will just about everything else ('cept my CZ 100). And you know those Walthers all went to great, loving, caring homes hahahahahaha. Once that first ever P-07 Duty melted into my hand, it was all over; my journey to the Dark Side was complete!

Glock does have a crazy low bore axis. I shot a P07 1st gen, and a G19 3rd gen, side by side. Glock had lower muzzle flip for the same S&B 124 gr ammo. Both pistols were factory. The only Glock that does appeal t me is a G34.

Post by: Firemanjones on October 25, 2015, 10:05:49 PM
My P-07 isn't fully Cajunized, so I would say the PPQ handles better than the P-07.
Now the PPQ has a light trigger out of the box, many carry it but a good many will carry the P99 since it has the option to use DA/SA. Also the P99 comes in a compact similar to the RAMI.

That's easy, these four!

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160225/75d3fbf68bf06343a9aece6013125b11.jpg)

Right now, for overall use, my DAO P-07  is #1, followed by the CZ 100, PX4 D, then my P-09 MHS (gotta send it out to Stuart and the CZC crew to lighten and smooth the trigger pull).

To answer your specific questions:
1. Most comfortable is the CZ 100 (following it's full stipple job), with the P-07 on it's heels, and the Beretta not far behind.

2. Love shooting my CZ 100, but the Duty's DAO conversion is absolutely phenomenal. You would have to shoot it to truly experience the joy I'm getting from it. Thinking we need to organize a CZ Meet & Greet down the road!

3. The P-07 has quickly moved into my #1 spot but, if it was still the factory DA/SA setup, I'd choose my CZ 100.

I'm surprised too. Lots of people like the Cheetah. I didn't like the difficulty of detail stripping it and lack of aftermarket parts. Then with its size ratios it's not that great for carry. But those are just my thoughts.

Sorry this isn't going to be much gang, but got bored earlier and took several pictures of my new P93 DAO next to my CZ 100. In the upcoming days, provided I can get back through the house, I will pick up another couple of my new additions and post pics of them, and hopefully next to the P-07 (it's taking a break from EDC so that the 100 gets a turn).

Then a couple separate shots of how narrow the P93's grip is when compared to the upper thickness, which for me and my small hands translates into a very comfortable pistol to hold and shoot, especially with it having all of the weight pretty much in the slide on top of that light alloy frame (unlike a classic Sig P-series or Beretta 92 = fat grips).

Sorry these won't be the best of pictures gang, but now that I have all of them together, say hello to the newest four members of my family (including the aforementioned P93 DAO)!

Some of you may recognize them, some might not since three of them have been discontinued for a number of years. Clockwise from the top, left to right:
Browning BDM, S&W 5943 SSV, Ruger P93 DAO, S&W SD9VE.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160616/979cdfe797f687208143d77b0731eaef.jpg)

I only had enough time to swing through the house for picking these up, and won't be able to get to the range to run some rounds through them until week after next, since next weekend when I get home I will be immediately picking up my son and going out of town for a few days doing stuff for his 17th birthday. [emoji2]

A quick, yet very rough shot of them side-by-side in order of the CZ 100, BDM, 5943, P93, and SD9VE, and then other comparison shots will be with my CZ 100 as the benchmark since one, it's still my #1 EDC, and two, it's almost identical in dimensions to my, okay, our beloved P-07 and the world renowned Glock 19.

I will say this, the Browning BDM grip is freaking tiny for a double stack 9mm (even though mine only has the 10 rd mags, regular capacity was 15).

I'm also going to pick up a straight backstrap grip panel for the 5943, just to make it a tiny bit more comfortable. And then, night sights will be ordered and installed on all that have the option available.

Nice bunch of newer handguns! 8)  Congratulations and may they serve you well!   :)

I have your SD9VE's direct ancestor, the SW9VE, albeit with a slight Trigger Job removing that horrible pigtail Spring.
Quite recently, I installed a green Fiber Optic Front Sight.  I carry it often.

The 5943 is a hoot to shoot with that pre-cocked DAO. Definitely feels better for me with a straight backstrap.

JWC, thanks as always! The trigger pull on mine doesn't feel really all that bad compared to the original, older models. Dare I say I actually like it, because it reminds me of a true double action trigger.

Can't wait Psyop! I swear I must've dry fired it alone at least 200x yesterday lol. Yeah, I myself am definitely digging on this trigger; it reminds me of my CZC DAO-converted P-07 with how smooth it is, just with a shorter trigger pull, obviously no second-strike capability, and it feels just a little heavier in the pull weight. It also feels really good in my hand as well, right up there with my CZ 100 and P-07, just with a slightly more hand filling grip. [emoji6]

A comparison picture for old-time nostalgia! The S&W 5943 SSV and Ruger P93. My apologies for the glare off of the slides, as I had to use the flash to minimize the shadows caused by the available lighting I had.

This next one is a combo of images courtesy of a good friend who sent them to me to show the size of a pistol I'm strongly considering trading one of my Glocks for, a rare DAO FNP9-M (that would only need night sights for me).

I don't have a caliper, but I do have a metal tape measure. Sorry for the crude method of measuring but hopefully this will give you an idea to try answering your question.

A new set of images of couple new additions to the family. This segment will include my Bersa Thunder 380 Plus, RAMI BD, and SCCY CPX-2. My apologies for not getting all of the angles/sizes matched up.

And yes, I know, all the images show the RAMI with it's extended mag and sleeve in place. Wanted to give a fair representation since the Bersa is a 15+1. I'll add more images later of it (RAMI) with the flush 10-rd mag separately beside the SCCY, as it's also 10+1.

This will be a very unorthodox comparison shot, but was bored a few moments ago and figured I would put this unlikely pair together, which coincidentally happens to be my top two current selections for EDC. Y'all already know what one of 'em is, even without seeing the pictures hahahahaha!!!

A quick update with some pictures provided by a good friend of mine who just picked up his CZ P10 C earlier today, and sent me a few shots of it next to his P-07 Duty so everyone could get an idea of how they compare in size.

CZ P10 C vs P-07 Duty:

Ask him which one he likes more! I can't decide whether I'd rather stick with the tried and true P-07 or go with the P10C.

Personally, I'm sticking with my CZ 100, DAO P-07, and Glock 23 for now. As for him, here's what he had to say:

"Well, it's here. Didn't get taken like some of the blokes, but still paid more than the LGS (when they show up). I know people wanted some comparisons to the P-07. I tossed a TLR on it since that's how I run the P-07.

1st thoughts. I'll come right out and say the trigger isn't to die for like the reviews are all saying. It's crisp for a stock trigger, the reset is short. It's still pretty darn stiff. I dry fired it a couple hundred times. Maybe slightly better. I measured 5.5-6lbs. I talked with the guy at Cajun GW, no parts yet but soon. The mag release also very stiff.

Feel is nice. Fills out my hand better than the P-07 with the medium back strap. The thickest one mimics the VP9/PPQ design. I'd say medium is similar to XDM. Grip angle is comfy and natural. This is the most course grip I've ever felt on a gun. The FNX had a rough diamond grip. This one is like a mud tire (for the dirt bike crowd). Light switch reach is noticeably further, but still within reason.

Fits the FNS holster with the TLR. I picked up a Glock 17 holster that fits without the light. Sights are the newer CZ 3-dot. They glow when charged, but aren't considered 'night sights'. The mags are backwards compatible with the P-07, but the ambi mag release hole doesn't let the 07 mags work. The newer P-09 mags do not work. I'll play with a couple 07 mags to see if I can fix that part. The base pads are slightly thicker on the P10 mags. I'll see if I get some time within the next couple days to take it to the range."

Sweet! Sad to hear about that trigger since it seems everyone else is reporting ~4lb triggers. I need to get my hands on one.

One of my LGS's got in a P-10 C for their rentals, and though I didn't have enough time to shoot it any, they were nice enough to let me snap a few pics of it beside my (lightly modded) Gen 4 Glock 19. Hope y'all enjoy!

That's why I still have the full-size DAO model, slick slide! Though the slide mounted lever doesn't bother me when it is configured as a "G" model (decock-only).

I got a Shield in 9mm for my daughter and I to compare to the LC9S and she likes it and shoots it well enough that I'm going to give it to her. They're very similar but we both shoot the Shield better than the LC9S. I do like the LC9S for the melted edges, etc... The LC9S is definitely 'snappier' to shoot. The Shield has a trigger pull of around 5.5 lbs and the LC9S is around 4.5 lbs. I'm planning on replacing the Ruger with a Sig P290RS for my subcompact carry since my other carry pieces are DA first pull but I'll keep it as a boat gun or whatever. Anyway, I decided to take some comparison shots. They both have the Hogue HANDALL S&W M&P Shield/Ruger LC9 Beavertail Grip Sleeve installed and both have their flush-fit mags for comparison. I'm fairly slim but I can pocket-carry either in jeans with those mags/baseplates

I'll say it, the P?07 feels smaller than it's new striker fire brother. At least to me anyway. Not saying it is more comfortable in my hands, mind you?

And since many are chomping at the bit for the future full size P-10, here's the P-10 C and P-09 MHS:

I got a SIG P290RS awhile ago and since I posted a comparison between the LC9S and the Shield, I thought I'd compare the RS to the LC. They both have their flush mags for comparison purposes. Obviously the RS has a heavier, DAO trigger compared to the LC9S. The felt recoil is much less with the RS, probably due in part to the heavier weigh of it (20.5 oz vs 17 oz). Although heavier, the RS is slightly smaller than the LC and in my opinion it's just enough of a difference to make it a better pocket carry experience. I took a photo of each in the same pocket holster to get a sense of how the LC sticks out a bit more in both directions.

CZ-75 SP-01 Tactical (9x19mm) and CZ-97BD (.45 ACP). They are virtually identical in weight when both are in full loadout condition.  Dimensionally there are some differences, but for all intents, they are very, very similar overall.

Been meaning to do this one for a while, and now can finally get around to it. Nothing major, just a couple of my relatively newer, repeated additions.

Beretta PX4 Compact and HK P2000SK

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/85ccaac2eb1454b7c943be10e10994ca.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/57bd7e0c5a165ccb899d62025ce0764a.jpg)

Two points; one is the obvious fact that I used both my P2KSK V3 AND V2 LEM for the shots. Two, the bottom image shows the HK with the newer 13-rd mag intended for the P30 SK/VP9SK to demonstrate height comparison. It makes a world of difference to me, in spite of carrying a couple less rounds. Works fine in spite of not matching the P2000SK?s aesthetics.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/84e12047014218ecb5fc60cb81143bec.jpg)

Now to get the Beretta ?fixed up? haha. Working on possibly converting it to DAO like my factory full-size ?D? Model, and of that doesn?t pan out I?ll just go the route of a ?G? conversion with slim decock levers. Either way, putting the filler plug in place of the right side slide stop/release lever and adding night sights very soon as well.

This is truly a great thread, thank you Cyanide!
You?re very welcome!

Quick update as promised. My apologies for so many shots of the Glock, just figured I’d better include a few comparisons of it before it leaves my inventory.

Glock 26 vs Sig P365:

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190706/654ca0cb36a2ffd72799155a66a17bdf.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190706/1097eda48050419f4fae446c0c268f2b.jpg)

I’m throwing this last image in to show relationship of the actual grip length. The Glock is wearing a simple Pearce finger extension that offers no capacity increase.

Post by: jwc007 on July 06, 2019, 02:09:48 PM
Without the extension, that Glock 26's grip would be waaaaay too short for me and I would want some sort of capacity increase with an extension.

Congratulations on the Sig P365! 8)  Very Nice!!!  :)

Thanks, though I never compare factory numbers. They typically refer to the widest point, such as the slide stop for the width, which is not really relevant for concealed carry. Width of the butt is much better, but never given.

 1/8 of an inch here 1/8 of an inch there doesn't make much of a difference. Sometimes not even that.
Something I don't even really worried about if fits  my hand well and shoots very well I'll carry it.

JWC007, thank you! No, I haven’t. Pretty well set on what I’ve currently got and have a few other things on layaway still to acquire. LOL

Speaking of DAO, friend of mine who’s a bigger Beretta fan than I am is converting my PX4 Compact to DAO for me with what should end up around a 7 lb. or so trigger pull, right in line with my DAO P-07 Duty, P-09 MHS, and PX4 D Full-size. Hehehehehe [emoji48]

But back to what I currently have, here’s the trigger pull on the new Night Cobra, seems to be around 8 or 9 pounds, and very smooth!

2 that might be of interest: CZ P01 vs Beretta PX4 Compact carry. They're basically the same size and weight.

Unloaded weight:  CZ P01: 28.1 ounces Beretta PX4 CC: 27.4 ounces

Width: CZ P01: 1.38 inches  Beretta PX4 CC: 1.4 inches.

Length: CZ P01: 7.2 inches Beretta PX4 CC: 6.8 inches

Height: CZ P01: 5 inches  Beretta PX4 CC: 5 inches.

Please note in the photos I have 92 style decocker levers on the PX4 CC. When used for carry I have the flat "stealth" levers installed. The 92 style levers are easier to decock when running a bunch of 1st shot DA then 2 SA drills.

(https://i.imgur.com/m8gSZnfl.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/XRCM6uel.jpg)

The trigger on the Beretta is better, I've installed the LTT 11 pound hammer spring, it already had the Competition Trigger Group installed at the factory. The CZ is still stock at this time. I will be installing a CGW Defensive carry package in the near future.

Accuracy is ammo dependent. Best defense load for the CZ P01 is 124gr +P Gold Dots followed closely by 124gr +p Golden Sabers.  Best defense loads in the Beretta PX4 CC 147gr HST followed by 147gr Gold Dots.  Both group about the same with my 115gr and 147gr FMJ reloads.

My wife shoots the P01 slightly better, I shoot the CC slightly better. Enough to trade or sell off one or the other? Nope.

The Beretta hold 1 more round, I don't consider that a big deal at all.

Finally getting around to posting pics of my P-07 and Beretta PX4 Compact, which even though now is DAO (w/LTT 11# mainspring), has the Stealth decock levers installed for maintaining as slim a profile as possible.

You’re very welcome. Just a little, but still plenty of room for a full, three-finger grip and very hand filling. Here’s some quick measurements I just took.

I love CZ’s but in stock, out of the box form I’ll have to kindly disagree when comparing the Omega trigger to the PX4 (and 92/96).

Now, with how mine are setup in DAO configurations, my P-07 Duty and P-09 MHS have very sweet, smooth 6.5# and 7# pulls respectively, versus about 7.5# for my PX4 Compact and around 9# for my full size, then 8.5# on my CZ 100 (stock except for addition of night sights and grip stippling).

I must agree with Cyanide. Right out of the box Beretta has the better trigger from what I have experienced. Now after some work they are both excellent, but different.

Thanks for sharing all of these photos. I have been interested in the PX4 for a while, but just never go for it when I find one. Especially since I love the P07 and P09 so much. Just curious, but can you provide the trigger reach measurement on both the P07 and PX4 CC in DA decocked? From what I seem to remember the last Px4 I held it seemed to have a longer trigger reach than the P07.

Claymore, unless someone beats me to the punch, I’ll measure those once I get back home in another couple of weeks. Just left out last night and haven’t been able to IM or reply here due to “system and network issues”.

Something a little different, my current three revolvers beside each other. From left to right, the 5 shot .38 Special Charter Arms OnDuty, 6 shot .38 Special Colt Night Cobra, 7 shot .357 Magnum Taurus 617:

Stopped by the ol’ gun shop down in Berea, KY earlier today and took a few quick pics of a relatively newer striker fire handgun on the market. I must say that after finally being able to handle one, color me very impressed and interested in perhaps getting one. Seems like the biggest gripe on them from online reviews is that early release models had magazines that wouldn’t drop free (this one pictured didn’t have that issue, however). That aside, my initial thoughts on it are that it has a great natural point of aim, excellent ergonomics, and a fairly decent trigger. If I get one down the road it’ll definitely be the “top tier” model with night sights, three mags, and three palm swell modules (the one installed on this one was just a bit too bulky IMHO). Anyway, onto the pics...

Gen 5 Glock 19 vs Stoeger STR-9 Compact:

LTT/Springfield XDe 3.3 vs Sig P365.
(https://i.imgur.com/kPOwifrl.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/wEv0TRll.jpg?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/OGbazC8l.jpg)

Both in the preferred carry configuration.

P365 with 10 round finger extension mag H: 4.5" L: 5.8" W over grip sleeve: 1.25", w/o grip sleeve; 1.1"

XDe with 8 round finger extension mag  H: 5.25"  L: 6.5" W over safety: 1.25"

After shooting 500 rounds from each, I'm selling or trading the Sig. Both are more than good enough carry pieces. The Sig's trigger is not for me, mushy and no distinct break with a 5 pound 12 ounce trigger pull. The XDe DA pull is 7 pounds 11 ounces the SA is 4 pounds even. I get similar practical accuracy from both pistols. While the XDe is a larger pistol, it carries about the same as the P365. Recoil is sharper and muzzle flip is greater with the P365.  Both favor Federal 124gr HST for defense ammo, they both shoot most 115gr and 124gr target ammo well enough.

I probably will continue to carry my Kimber K6s most of the time, I still have a preference for revolvers and the K6s has been the best one for me.

Traded off the extra, unused Glock 26 I had for another 9mm pistol that I previously owned a few years ago and regrettably sold off. Here’s several pics of it (before a few small mods) beside my other Gen 5 G26 that I’m currently holding onto. Immediate mods will be an aggressive grip stippling, “G” conversion (decock only) with the Stealth decock levers, and an Ameriglo CAP front night sight. Eventually may look into a DAO conversion, but that’ll wait. Now, to get out and shoot it at my range, aka the backyard...

Beretta PX4 Subcompact (w/Olight PL Mini 2) and Glock 26 (w/Pearce +2 mag extension and TLR-6):

Taurus G3 full size vs Beretta APX Centurion
They are the same size essentially but the Beretta is thicker and heavier(nearly 1/4#!).  Also, notice how far under the slide the beretta grip sits as opposed to the long nose profile of the G3.  It's crazy.

Beretta 81 and CZ83 32ACP. Two fun shooters, I would be hard pressed to pick the better. The CZ has a better DA trigger the Beretta has a better SA trigger. Both are very accurate with pretty much any good ammo. They both show a preference for Hornady Critical Defense ammo for carry loads with Speer Gold Dots a close second. PMC, American Eagle, and PPU round nose all shoot very well, the CZ does a touch better with American Eagle, the Beretta with PPU ammo.

Ron M, awesome pics!

Decided to snap a few more of some that I already have or, added to the collection recently. I will apologize in advance that they aren’t combined, as the app I was using for photo collages wanted to charge an outrageous amount for its use, when it used to be free.

I’ll start off with my trusty old DAO P-07 Duty and new M&P9 2.0 Compact 3.6”. Yep, I forgot to take the red sticker off of the new TLR-7A I just added onto my P-07 LOL. I need to quit being lazy and add an orange outline Night Fision front sight to it, since I have orange outline Ameriglo fronts on everything else in the carry rotation!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210729/b8157d47ebbb663aeae521f13629f765.jpg)


Next up is the aforementioned M&P and my Shadow Systems MR920:

M&P and Gen 5 G26 with 12-rd mag, then with G19 mag and extension sleeve:

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210729/4c58eef4c05a2a4266ceb7cda3e250c9.jpg)


Just saying, it sure would be nice if Glock would make a “26X” so that I could mount one of my TLR-7A’s onto it, as the Gen 5 G26 quickly became one of my favorite CC’s over the last couple of years (even over the P-10 C, P-10 S, P365, and G43X I all briefly owned over the course of the last year).

More later on, will eventually be adding several others in the future. Cheers!

Rekindled an old flame with my love, the newest rendition of the first striker fire pistol that really took my attention away from hammer-fire pistols, and I had to get some pics of it against my old #2 carry piece (now #3), as they fit the same category of a compact slide and barrel on a full-size grip. In this case, 17+1.....

May it serve you well!  :)

I have an older version of the longer Steyr L9-A1 and it's been a very very good handgun!  :)
I have looked around for an M9 version, which would be for Carry, but they tend to be scarce around here.

Yep, I remember you having that back when I had my C9-A1 and S9-A1! Got my hands on the L9-A2 MF a few days ago, would definitely be my choice for a full-size.

True the aftermarket is difficult for the A2 MF's, but not impossible!. Truth be told, it's not like they need much of anything other than a good holster!

2 that might be of interest: CZ P01 vs Beretta PX4 Compact carry. They're basically the same size and weight.

Unloaded weight:  CZ P01: 28.1 ounces Beretta PX4 CC: 27.4 ounces

Width: CZ P01: 1.38 inches  Beretta PX4 CC: 1.4 inches.

Length: CZ P01: 7.2 inches Beretta PX4 CC: 6.8 inches

Height: CZ P01: 5 inches  Beretta PX4 CC: 5 inches.

Please note in the photos I have 92 style decocker levers on the PX4 CC. When used for carry I have the flat "stealth" levers installed. The 92 style levers are easier to decock when running a bunch of 1st shot DA then 2 SA drills.

The trigger on the Beretta is better, I've installed the LTT 11 pound hammer spring, it already had the Competition Trigger Group installed at the factory. The CZ is still stock at this time. I will be installing a CGW Defensive carry package in the near future.

Accuracy is ammo dependent. Best defense load for the CZ P01 is 124gr +P Gold Dots followed closely by 124gr +p Golden Sabers.  Best defense loads in the Beretta PX4 CC 147gr HST followed by 147gr Gold Dots.  Both group about the same with my 115gr and 147gr FMJ reloads.

My wife shoots the P01 slightly better, I shoot the CC slightly better. Enough to trade or sell off one or the other? Nope.

The Beretta hold 1 more round, I don't consider that a big deal at all.


Nice write up.  Just purchased a PX4 compact (9mm) to pair with my PCR.  My original plan was to buy a P-01 or maybe P-07.  However, I wanted something with a little different and with a decent trigger out the box.  I ordered new sights and a hammer spring from Beretta, and a set of Talon grips.   This should give me a decent setup at reasonable cost.  PCR is still stock, and I expect things will smooth out around 300 rds, but we will see.

Nice Comparison!  8)  :)  I'm liking that new M&P9 2.0 Compact 3.6!  :)

My two "Late Spring and Summer Carry" Pistols, a third Generation 9mm Taurus PT111 and a PT709.

I recently came to the realization that my PT111 G2 weighs as much as a my Glock 19 Gen 2.  Appreciate that the Taurus has a safety and a smaller profile, just don't know that the juice is worth the squeeze except as a cheap beater gun or stash gun versus other options...

Lots of good pictures. One might try HandGunHero.com and you can compare almost all guns. I'm on there at least 2 time a week.

Thank you. There used to be a lot more, but for some reason through the years a lot of the pictures I originally posted are no longer visible.

Yes, handgun hero is a nice resource. Seems like somebody finally made a web program to do something like what I was doing in this post since 2014 lol.

Your pics help me decide to purchase the PX4 storm and the PCR!   Thank you!!

Terry, glad I could help! Funny you mention that because I have another PX4 Compact "G" on the horizon. [emoji48]

PX4 compacts remained under the radar for years.  I ignored them because I was a Glock fanboy.  Not seeing many 9mm compacts on the market, lately.  It seems the secret is out about them.
