So, does the new stock improve your aim, comfort, both? Or purely cosmetic? Why the switch?

Other than the music complaint, the individual wanted to see what it was I was shooting at with the CZ P-09. Here is this one for you, the first rounds at 25 yards at my 1/2 scale IDPA target. Shows I am no fantastic pistol shot. \ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Casting Boolits\thefiringline\redface.gif "Embarrassment")

Kinda frustrating! Met Jordan at Bianchi Cup many years ago, and I saw
Bob Munden perform fast draw and trick shooting with rifle and pistol at least
5 times. Would have liked to seen the rest of this!Bill

This is a video I made this afternoon, about shooting the new CZ P-09 pistol this morning.\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Casting Boolits\thefiringline\wink.gif "Wink")
Hope you like it.
Here's Beretta's description, I find the barrel lock cam and pin system is really quite unique, and I believe it does make for a sturdier firing system, and smoother shooting feel.
Here's the video, and following the video link, I've provided more details about the Beretta, from Beretta's web site:
Beretta PX4 Storm Review with Shooting Demonstration - YouTube
The Beretta Px4 Storm is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Beretta of Italy and intended for personal defense and law enforcement use. The Px4 uses the same short-recoil, rotating barrel action as the Beretta 8000 Models and uses the same trigger and safety system as the M9/92/96 series, while being completely different in design from either. Light-weight polymer construction with steel inserts, a modular trigger group, fully enclosing slide, Picatinny rail, and changeable backstrap options for the grip are a radical departure from previous Beretta designs.
Unlike the first generation Beretta 92/96/M9 series, the Px4's trigger guard is rounded for better concealed carry. The takedown pin of earlier models is replaced by a spring-loaded bar, accessed via frame recesses on both sides, which must be grasped and pulled down simultaneously to release the slide. The slide spring is doubly captive, being inserted approximately an inch into the transfer block at one end and a receiving hole in the front of the slide at the other. It is a self-contained assembly, completely captured by the polymer guide. The magazine holds the top round directly behind the barrel's breech end so only a slight feed ramp is needed. This allows the barrel to fully support the case. The 6-R rifling of the barrel generates counter-clockwise torque which is harnessed by the locking system to reduce the amount of pressure required from the rotating barrel lock's cam and pin system to effect unlocking. The steel transfer block's cam pin is 5 mm wide and 2 mm deep. The entire hammer unit mechanism can be removed from the Px4, without the use of special tools, as a single group. This allows easy access to the firing mechanism for cleaning. The Px4's design makes it impossible to assemble incorrectly from a field-stripped takedown.
The Px4 features an interchangeable, luminescent 3-dot sight system (coated in Super-LumiNova) for use in dark or low-light situations. With short exposure to any kind of light, the night sights' luminescence lasts up to 30 minutes. The weapon also incorporates a Picatinny rail under the muzzle to allow flashlights, laser sights, and other accessories to be attached. Beretta discontinued the luminescent 3-dot nights sights for the Px4 in 2010, replacing them with standard 3-dot sights.
Removable and interchangeable parts: To aid the versatility of the Px4, a number of parts were designed to be removable and interchangeable. These parts include the backstrap, the magazine release button, the slide catch and the hammer unit mechanism. The backstrap is available in three sizes: slim, standard and oversized. The magazine release button can be mounted on either side of the weapon and replaced by one of three types: standard, large or combat (extended). The standard slide catch can be replaced with a slimmer version to avoid snagging when the weapon is drawn quickly from a holster.
The Px4 is available in four models:
Type F: Single and double-action. Decocker. Manual safety.
Type C: Single-action-only ("Constant Action"). Spurless hammer. No decocker. No safety.
Type D: Double-action-only. Spurless hammer. No decocker. No safety.
Type G: Single and double-action. Decocker. No manual safety.

I made a video for two reasons. I was asked to and I was bored this afternoon. It's not that long because there really isn't much to punching out gas checks.Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7BbQgWvlCI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That info is at the beginning of the video.
Boolit Master Join DateMar 2009LocationMisty MountainsPosts988Sorry, I was distracted when the video started. Played it again and got info, thanks.
Boolit Man Join DateJul 2011LocationGlobe AzPosts101If you use two layers of pop can material, will the design of the Freechex III keep the layers as one gas check?Would spray on adhesive keep two layers of pop can metal, together tightly enough to make a good gas check?
Great demo, and the music was greatly appreciated!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Great demo, and the music was greatly appreciated!Ditto for me!

Only reason for the music is so it wasn't so dry. There is plenty of music that I would have preferred to use but I don't have the rights to it. I didn't want the video to be pulled. The music I used was also free with the editing program

Certain music is considered public domain. The happy birthday song is one such example. A lot of old classical music is as well. Just search for Beethoven's 5th Symphony on YouTube and you will find a lot of videos. If they pull the video it it's simple to take the music out and I will shoot you the new link when I resubmit it.You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
