Mags came today. Nice

I have a couple of the beretta factory 20 rounders for the 92FS variant of CX-4 rifle (or 92FS as well). Well made and reliable, as usual for beretta. The 92 variant 20 round mags have real strong springs. Iron man might be able to load all 20 in there with fingers alone, without using some kind of mag loader accessory. :)

Hey LowBb, what caliber is your Storm? I just got my 9mm (full size) this past Saturday and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Ammo should be here today and I'll be heading to Guns and Leather shortly after!

Yea Lester the Storm's mag springs are very stiff too. So stiff in fact that I have to use said loader accessory all the time. It's interesting that the Berettas come with that tool. It's almost like the thousands of mad Beretta owners finally had their voices heard. BTrash, I own a 9mm. Very low recoil and 17 plus 1 stock mags :). It shoots great. I bought the full size too. I'd love to hear what you think after you shoot it some.

Hey LowBb, I just got back from the range and I love it! It shot as good as I could hold it and I put 100 rounds through it. I only loaded 10 at a time with 

loading tool. The only issue I had was having to hold the front sight really high. I was probably only 10 feet away, so with more distance, that may even out.

This is my first "big boy gun" and the recoil was very manageable. I'm very happy!

I had got the 20 rd 92FS factory mags 2 or 3 years ago when I got the 92FS-mag version of a CX4 Storm rifle. CX4's had got rare when I was looking and had to wait awhile before I found the 92FS mag version, but I'd had a couple of 92FS a long time, and had scads of 10 and 15 rd 92 mags, so wanted the CX4 to be able to share mags, rather than starting out with another kind of non-compatible mag. 

 

Have shot PX4 before and liked it. Might get a PX4 sometime. Got a Stoegar cougar a couple years ago. When buying it, at the gun store we put the cougar side-by-side with a PX4 and they have the same internal action and remarkably similar external shape, like the cougar is basically an all-metal PX4. Or vice-versa. It came with four 15rd cougar mags.

 

I've never closely examined a PX4 mag. The cougar mags look so much like 92FS mags, that it would be a mess if you got a bunch of cougar and 92 mags mixed up together in the same box, because they are nearly impossible to tell apart, but not interchangeable. Cougar mag won't fit in a 92 and vice-versa. Well actually they interchangeably fit, but not good enough to work. Maybe slots could be cut to make them kinda cross-compatible.

 

It would be interesting if cougar and PX4 mags are compatible, but never read anything about that.

 

I've got several mag loaders that will work on 92 and cougar mags, but as best I can recall none of my Beretta pistols came with a mag loader. Maybe the cougar came with one but it got mixed in with the other mag loaders and I forgot.

Congrats, BT!

 

Some pistols are sighted in so you line up the sights and put them "right underneath" the bullseye, and some are sighted in so you line up the sights and "cover up" the bullseye with the dot on the front post. Sometimes they are set-up so the point of aim with the front-post "under" the bullseye is the right thing to do at 50 feet or so, and putting the front-post "on top" of the bullseye is the right thing to do at close range.

 

Most pistols and rifles have two distances away from the target, where the parabolic bullet trajectory hits the bullseye. If you are closer than the first zero'd distance, it shoots low. In between the two zero'd distances, it shoots high. Beyond the second zero'd distance, it will shoot low.

 

So shooting at real close range, often the right thing to do is put the front-post right on-top of the bullseye, which is about the same thing as "aiming a little high". Sometimes when guns "break in" the point of aim will settle down some, and also it is "getting used" to how to hold a pistol and pull the trigger. If you shoot awhile and the pistol quits shooting low, it might be difficult to figure out if the gun got "broke in" or your hand got better at holding that particular gun.

Hey Lester, Thanks for the info! I'm sure there was a little flinch-factor in there too.

 

Thanks for taking the time to write a nice description for a new guy!
