I am still confused, but I am a major newbie. How does a “constant action” pistol – C, differ from their D – “double action” model? By this I mean, in practical terms, if both contain a spurless hammer, then all you do is point and shoot, like a Glock? Isn’t that more like a striker fire pistol, or is constant action another name for striker fired? Can someone please clear up this confusion for me. To put it simply, I much prefer a striker fired pistol, so which of these two PX4 models – C or D – most resembles a striker fired handgun? Thanks!

Well actually, the “C” variant has a “spurless hammer” that sets flush with the rear of the slide when in the cocked position.

No, the “C” models are sans hammer.

Doesn’t it have a hammer like other Px4′s? I’m thinking it would.

Also, front and rear sights on Storms are mounted in dovetails.

Like that they removed the thumb safety from it. No need with the DAO trigger.

Neat guns, I’d love to try one out. Still Odd that with the rotating barrel delayed-blowback action that the bore axis is still so high….

One of the other instructors at the range got one of the earlier Px4 models a couple of years ago. In terms of overall feel, it just didn’t jump out at me. But the trigger on it was very nice.
