C4X slide on P4 steel frame review
I intentionally bought the C4X simply to put on my P4 frame.
After ~500 rounds running the stock C4X configuration before making the swap (wanted a piece of mind of somewhat breaking in the gun)
C4X alone is a great gun. Money aside.
But the C4X on the the P4 steel frame, then throw a little light on the rail and **chefs kiss**
It is exactly what you expect and a little more. This fucker is nice to shoot. I’ve shot atlas’s, all the major 2011 competitors sub $3k, almost every staccato besides an XL (don’t care for it), this my friends is one hell of a gun.
Very soft, return to 0 is shorter and faster than stock. It’s noticeable even for someone new to shooting guns. (Buddy was with me)
It’s faster than a P4.5 because the slide reciprocates a lot faster. Probably just as pleasant of a shooting experience.
To sum it up, your average shooter might notice the difference from going from an aluminum to a steel frame on the C4X. But the ones who actually go out and shoot a lot, this will be a night and day difference. If you are a good competent shooter, this is the configuration you need.
P4 slide on C4X aluminum frame. It’s actually not exactly what you’d expect. I wouldn’t say it’s snappy like a stock P4 but it reciprocates in a wavy motion. It’s obviously less snappy and softer than the C3.6. But it’s a different experience from all of the rest of the HD line.
I personally think it shoots better than the 24 C on a full or compact sized grip. This is a good carry option.
If you have a P4 and you’re contemplating on getting a C4X. Do it then swap the slides. Worth every penny. It will justify even buying your P4 because I know you guys second guess either buying a 4.5 or bought the 4.5 and shelved the P4.
TLDR: C4X slide on steel P4 frame full size grip. Worth every penny. Justifies the P4, justifies the C4X. You get two completely different guns out of the two. A nice carry gun, and a wicked fast 4 inch 2011.
