my first black plastic pistol.
« on: January 24, 2010, 12:50:34 PM »
buddy had a beretta px4 storm 40 sw in his shop for sale. he said it was used but i pulled it apart and couldnt see where it had even been fired. He told me 350 and it was mine. I couldnt pass it at that. I took it home and put 200 rounds through it and so far so good.

Didn't think you liked bottom feeders Lloyd.  ;D

I see why you call him your buddy, that's a heck of a deal at $350 in the condition you describe.  Have fun with it.

ive got no problem with bottom feeders. Ive shot 1911s since i was a kid and wouldnt concider myself a real gun man unless i owned at least one 1911. Biggest reason i bought one is i have two 5 gallon pails of brass sitting there. The only 40s i loaded were for my niegbors  highpoint carbine ever since i sold my 646. Figued i had the  brass molds dies shell plates, everything but a gun and it will make for cheap shooting.
