I'm looking to buy my first pistol, and the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact is at the top of my list. However, last month Beretta announced a new model called the Storm PX4 Compact Carry, expected to be available late summer. Here's a link to the announcement. And here's a list of the improvements and upgrades.
* new slide stop lever and manual safety levers are low profile for less snagging
* new controls sit nearly flush with the pistol’s frame, but are still easily manipulated by the shooter
* slide is slimmer and more low-profile as well
* added a Cerakote gray finish bringing a new and popular look to the PX4, while adding excellent corrosion resistance
* new Talon Grips are easy to apply and provide superior gripping power
* switch to an Ameriglo orange front sight; the color contrast allows for faster target acquisition with the front sight
* plated the critical trigger group and internal parts making the action much smoother
* the springs were also coated to improve performance
I'm a newb as far as pistols, so I'm looking for comments relative to the improvements/changes. If they're important, I will hold out for the release this summer. Doesn't make sense for me to buy a CC pistol now only to sell it in the summer, unless the changes are of lesser importance. Based on what I've read, it would seem that the wait might be worth it.
Thanks for your help.
