P07 vs PX4 - CZ & Beretta’s CCW’s With Unique Recoil Reduction Systems

[@johnwick1289]

I was researching both models and purchased the PX4 from GB. Replaced the hammer spring and switched to Amerigo sights. Soft and smooth shooting pistol.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

Langdon Tactical offers an optimized trigger bar that should shorten your reset to insane levels. If you made those other changes you could probably order the part from Langdon and install to save some $. There are videos on their site about the process. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@bowl816]

The PX4 is awesome, the Langdon tactical version. No other softer or flatter shooting pistol unless you go to a 22. The trigger is super nice, almost too light. I like the 92 models by Beretta as well. The holster options were not as abundant as I would like, for any Beretta models. 92, PX4, or the APX. I highly recommend the Langdon Tactical PX4. I just wish the front sight was a bright neon green.

[@wernervoss6357]

These two are natural comparisons! I've never had a P07, though it has always been a temptation. I have had two PX4s though.... it's not my favorite or most accurate kind of handgun, but I like it. And I love the sort of "retro futuristic" look.

[@markhimmer2856]

The M-Carbo kit for the P-07 is much cheaper than the CGW kit. I just had mine installed in the P-07, Dawson Sights, CGW SS guide rod/spring, along with talon grips and this this is a tack driver! After the kit was installed and internals were smoothed out my P-07 now has a 7 1/2 lb DA and 3.3 lb SA trigger pull!

[@3wheelmannc860]

Both are amazing imo. Cajun Gunworks kits are solid. CZ Custom kits are amazing and MCarbo kits are solid... All three are worth a look imo...expecially if you are going to install yourself. I really like the rotating barrel, but like you said, I am not going to pay double the price for a full LTT kit. The trigger in a bag is very nice. My wish continues to be for Beretta to bring us a PX4 Storm v. 2.0. A refresh would go a long way.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

they JUST released "version 2" of the Compact Carry - but it's really the same gun but now with more standard features vs upgrades. They also introduced a new full-size with a more robust/heavier barrel that's supposed to shoot even flatter. Also they have destined a frame mounted compensator (attached to a light) - so lots of PX4 info just hitting this week. THANKS SO MUCH for watching!!

[@volbrenYT]

@@TheArkansasGunGuythe only difference is the decockers are the stealth ones and now the compacts are spurless by default (not a fan of that)

[@DanielMartinez-lz3ot]

I own both as well, so it's cool to find someone else with refined and elegant taste. I didn't really have a problem changing out the backstrap on the P-07, it was switching it to safety from decocker, for me, that got crazy. All of the videos showing how "simple" the process is, were lies spread by agents of chaos. (IMHO) One other thought. I don't have a problem with the texture on my Px4, but it's a full sized so that could make a difference.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

I wasn’t even going to attempt the Omega change - luckily I liked the decocker version!! Nice to meet other people with the same appreciation for these excellent firearms! THANK YOU so much for watching!!

[@DanielMartinez-lz3ot]

@@TheArkansasGunGuyThanks for the love! if you ever do change the the decocking lever, you have to really struggle to get both sides apart, then move it's bar around to get it out. Same with getting the safety lever in, you gotta keep moving it's bar around to get it all the way across to right side safety lever. ARRGH! That being said, it's really a gentle, gentle shooter, no regrets.

[@scottiopizza7565]

@@DanielMartinez-lz3ot Take the hammer spring out, and slowly pull the hammer back as you work the decocker out. I had a problem with it until I read about this, and it works.

[@lilythepig]

If the PX4 was re-styled to look more like the P07, it would start to sell a LOT better. As it is, people are turned off because it looks like a space turd.

[@jbladesedc]

Berettas own aftermarket and ease of installation of those parts makes it the win for me

[@thinman8621]

Purchased the .22LR conversion from CZ for my P-07. Great pistol and inexpensive to shoot using the conversion.

[@mchlcathcart]

From where? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

[@thinman8621]

@@mchlcathcart Purchased direct from CZ. Not inexpensive.

[@kcshep338]

In my opinion , as a CZ fan boy is. The only advantage the beretta has is it's available in .40 cal

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

I forgot to call out the caliber options. Good call. And thanks for watching!!

[@squatchwatch5237]

It's a real shame, cz discontinued their .40 p09 and p07 in 2014. P09 in 40 was the softest shooting 40 I have ever shot and very accurate

[@Horgler]

@@squatchwatch5237 Nearly every manufacturer seems to be discontinuing their .40s or making them in very small batches.

[@bigk4026]

@@Horglerno one is buying 40. As a guy in my mid 20s. No one I know owns a 40 s&w. The risk of over penetration, round availability, round price, added recoil, extra wear on guns, and less capacity just make it a silly round to seek out in today’s gun and ammo market. 9mm does the job perfectly with good hollow points. No need for 40.

[@LeadSlinger_]

​@bigk4026 just cause you don't know anybody who owns a 40 s&w DOESN'T mean people don't. A ton of people like and own 40 s&w. As for your reasoning, none of what you said really means anything. The risk of over penetration isn't a problem, the price of 40 ammo is also barley any different from 9mm, recoil is slightly more but not so much where it really matters as long as you train with it, extra wear on guns also isn't a problem cause that's just a myth and isn't true on newer guns chambered in 40, and as for capacity if it can hold at least 10 rounds (which they do) it will be fine for the majority of gun owners who aren't trying to be some tacticool wannabe soldier who doesn't live in reality and think they are gonna end up in some crazy war zone in a big shootout which isn't going to happen.

[@MrSnakobe]

My main carry option is a p07, I have always wrestled with having the cajun work done to it. A compensator to the threaded portion has made it a pleaseant experience.

[@markhimmer2856]

Check out the M-Carbo kit! I just had mine installed and it's awesome! Much cheaper than the CGW kit!

[@TengoUnGatoEnLosPantelones]

Unfortunately the cajun gun works upgrades do not make the p07 trigger remotely close to the px4 Langdon trigger. I’ve had both done up to the max. The px4 wins hands down.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

EXCELLENT TO KNOW!!! You may have just saved me $400!! Thanks for that AND for watching!!

[@lunchandlearn]

Love the Langdon PX4. Already a soft recoiling gun but with the DPM recoil reduction spring it’s like shooting a 5.7x28.

[@DIYDad1]

I haven't shot the px4 but I've always been intrigued by them. They are unique and cool looking and I always have a thing for guns that are just different. Wish I could get my hands on one some day. Really like the p07 I have shot those before and they do handle quite nicely. I ended up with a cz P01 metal frame instead back when I was looking between a p07 and the P01, as far as I can tell they both shoot very similar one is just a polymer frame. Actually in my mind the recoil isn't all that less compared to my other 9mm's, just different recoil impulse it's more straight back snap into the web of your hand, it's a more direct recoil impulse if that makes sense. I actually feel my HK's shoot softer even though there might be just a little more muzzle rise compared to the cz.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

I actually want a P01 badly!! On my short list - just lucked into a steal online for the P07 and could not pass it up. Massive fan of the CZ75 platforms /clones. Have you ever shot an IWI Jericho? Ridiculous how well it shoots. Zero recoil.

[@DIYDad1]

@@TheArkansasGunGuy my friend just got a jerhico. It's another cz 75 clone basically. I haven't shot it yet ill have to borrow it from him next time we shoot together. He seems to like it but he had some malfunctions with it when it was new.

[@scottiopizza7565]

@@TheArkansasGunGuy From what I understand the P-01 Omega is gone, and the P75 P01 has different internals. I have the 07 and the 01. My 01 is perfect the way it is, for me. The wife has DA strength issues. My 07 had a terrible gritty trigger, it felt like a 2 stage trigger. I ran 400 rounds through it and the decide to order the CGW pro kit. The hardest part for me was reinstalling the trigger. I found the pin goes in way easier if installed from the right side, as the spring torques high on the left.

[@gracedagostino5231]

Great video, as I'm a huge Beretta fan. I own the Cougar in .40, and love the tilting barrel, as it has little muzzle rise. In California the PX4 is available at the bigger gun stores, as it's on The California Safety Handgun Roster. But like you said it is rarely on sale, so you're going to pay the full retail price.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

I’ve never even seen a cougar!! Need to learn more about those!! Thanks for watching!!

[@rotadyma]

I've seen the PX4 Compact online for about $529. The Compact in this video is the Compact Carry. It has some Langdon parts and is much upgraded from the regular Compact. That's why it runs for about $750 to $850. I have this same model, the Compact Carry and it's an incredible gun but if I could go back in time. I would have bought the stock Compact and upgraded myself.

[@SectionChief]

Having both CGW P07 and LTT PX4, P07 is my favorite of the two and I score better with it. PX4 is so obscure that I have to 'settle' quite a bit when it comes to the choices in accessories and support.

[@TheRancor53]

I like both but the lighter trigger and reset on the LTT still beat the Cajunized p-07 esp trigger reset.

[@paulfryejr2918]

Good, in-depth, informative review, thanks. Both are good guns.

[@TheArkansasGunGuy]

great to know. I'm definitely learning more about Cajun upgrades through comments. Think I may save my $!! Thanks for the info and for watching!!

[@rotadyma]

I bought a CZ 75D Compact PCR a few years back and lowered my DA trigger pull from 11.5 lbs down to 7.5 lbs. !!!!!! My SA trigger pull went from 4 lbs down to 2.5 lbs. All I did was disassemble the gun. I changed out the trigger spring, sear spring and the hammer spring and polished the internals. Cost me about 2 hrs of time and $30. Gun shoots amazingly smooth and nice light trigger pulls. Especially the DA trigger pull down to a very manageable carry pull. You don't need Cajun to do what I did. And I'm only very average when it comes to taking things apart and putting them back together.

[@scottiopizza7565]

@MRsolidcolor Are you talking about the P-07? The CGW kit fixed my SA trigger issues, and lowered the DA-SA weights.

[@dchanson55]

Good video. I like both brands. I don't understand why most on guntube mention the looks of a pistol, why even mention the "look." I could care less if a gun looks "cool", how stupid. "Hey bad guy, see how cool my gun looks?". I have big hands and I want a DA/SA full size metal pistol, 9mm. Not very concerned about CCW issues, a full size can be concealed, just not as well.

[@oldmanjenkins771]

I love my compact carry!

[@chadhaire1711]

Both were designed from the ground up for 40 cal so both are bigger than need be for 9mm----but PX is less bulky than CZ. CZ Po7 in 40 is great but just too much mass for 9mm, Px is great for both.

They aren’t night sights on the P07, they are luminous sights. Not trying to nitpick. It’s a good video, but if people are looking to buy they should know that they are not true tritium night sights. They are pretty good, though i would probably suggest getting some good aftermarket night sights.

The Px4 is more comfortable to carry specially if you have a big waist. Change the sights on both. When it comes ro decokers levers the Px4 Storm's are too sharp and annoying. The P07's feel cheap.
