I've been going back and forth whether to keep my big old 92 and put up with its size for carry or sell it for something a little smaller and less cumbersome. I've gone thru all the options and drove myself crazy with all of the platforms and calibers out there. A month ago I bought a ruger 357 snubbie and ended up just retiring it to the sock drawer for my wife. It's a fine gun but also a little painful to carry on the waist, and too bulgy to carry in the pocket. I woke up this morning and an idea popped furiously into my head - I didn't want to part with my beretta platform but still wanted something with a little less calories. I talked to the wife and she gave me the green light to do what I wanted and I drove into town and took a brief look at what I thought I was going to buy - a Subcompact PX4 Storm. I was pretty much decided and was filling out the paperwork when he brought out its slightly older brother, the "compact". I put it in my hand and it felt even better. So after some haggling I ended up bringing the Italian px4 storm compact home with a pocket holster to boot. Wearing it now and it's surprisingly unobtrusive! Thought I'd miss the 92 and i ended up paying a little difference but I think I did pretty well.
Happy new gun day! I may have pics later...
