I am about to purchase a Beretta PX4 because I want to shoot a Beretta PX4 - not sure anyone should feel it necessary to "make a case" for shooting what they want to shoot.

I plan to get the "F" model because I like the redundancy of a safety and DA/SA - thought I understand real men tell me real men abhor safeties and immediately rio those out for a G decocker.

I like a "dead trigger" safety as opposed to a "locked trigger" safety - with a redundant DA first pull.

I understand that it will take time to adjust to a DA/SA - right now I have a CZ 75 clone (Armalite AR-24) that I shoot almost exclusively in SA mode because it doesn't have a decockeer, and manually decking seems like an accident waiting to happen.

I feel pretty certain that I can acquire the skill to shoot the PX4 as well as I can shoot any other pistol - a lot of very good shooters shoot CZ 75s extremely well.

I suspect that for almost all of us - except maybe a handful of the top competitive shooters in the world - the our accuracy and speed limitations are far more likely to be between our ears than in the trigger mechanism of the pistol in our hands.
