liewb Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm a southpaw, and would really like to know how to swap the mag catch from the left to right side. Can anyone give me the step on how to go through with this? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honzo Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 anyone know if these mags for the px4 are compatible with the TM beretta 92 or m9a1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 anyone know if these mags for the px4 are compatible with the TM beretta 92 or m9a1? They're not, fairly different design. The M9A1 is still using the standard TM M9 mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dazdarren Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 So the hop up arm on the Marui PX4 will not break, but bend? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John_234 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I love the hell out of my hk3 PX4. It's reliable and the quality is surprising. I had to pass up a deal for a Marui PX4, I think it was $180 with two mags? I still might get one some day, and this review helps a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John_234 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) By the way, if anybody is still looking for PX4 holsters, comholsters.com made me a custom PX4F holster for $30. Very reasonable for quality of product. http://imageshack.us/a/img21/4135/px41.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img51/8166/px42.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img703/1213/px43.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img534/9569/px44.jpg Please forgive the shoddy camerawork, Edited December 13, 2012 by John_234 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coolurjets Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 How are people getting on with PX4's and dirt? One of the reason I sold my TM PX4 was due to the utter finickiness of the thing when it came to playing in a dusty environment. The hammer mech, blow back housing and safety switch would get gummed up constantly. I wasn't over lubing it either. In CQB/indoors/not dusty it worked like a dream.

Zereck Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone having problem with the slide not locking back when the mag is empty? Both of my mags do it randomly(sometimes they catch the slide sometimes not), in fact if insert an empty mag I can sometimes shoot it 4 times before the slide stays back. The slide does always lock back if I pull it back with hand. This is with green gas on 20 celsius. There are no wears anywhere so I have no idea what is the problem.

If the slide lock always locks when you do it by hand there shouldn't be a problem. check if the recoil spring is too stiff (unlikely but you never know). the first 4 shots not locking the slide can indicate a light striking issue.

If you stick an empty TM mag into a kydex or molded plastic pouch, the follower can wear down as you insert it. It's far more noticeable on the single-stack 1911s, but I can see it happening on the double stack handguns too. It's possible for the notch in the slide to wear down with extended use. You'll have to examine it and the way the slide stop locks into it to doublecheck that. There's also the possibility you might need to loosen up the spring holding down the slide stop.

Wingman Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Nice to see that this TM pistol has been out as long as it has with little mention of any problems. I've had mine since they first came out and it's still running super. I'd almost put it in my "built like a tank" catagory along with my TM P226, G26Advance, MEU and Detonics.

kenxin Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 So far, the only thing that has broken in mine is the trigger spring. And that's after god knows how many shots (and more than 2 years of use). HOWEVER, there is a 2nd generation of PX4s from marui with some slight differences. The new PX4s have the bbu bump that pushes the hammer down ramped (as the p226) instead of just a bump. Also the gap between slide and frame appears to be wider in the new ones.... I have not observed any other differences. PICS (sorry, those are taken off google's cache, since the original ones disappeared. I don't have pictures of my own, sadly.): (red = old one, yellow = new one). If someone has the newer version, please post more pictures and your impressions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ive held the new one. The external quality is much higher, more like high quality polymer than ABS plastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) When you say new one, are you talking about the sub-compact Bulldog or newer production runs of the full size Px4 ? What about the finish of the controls ? Better than the original on ? EDIT: My bad, this is the TM PX4 thread, not WE ! Edited March 5, 2013 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What about the finish of the controls ? Better than the original on ? EDIT: My bad, this is the TM PX4 thread, not WE ! The plastic feels identical to me, the newer one might be a bit darker in colour but feels identical. The finish on the controls is identical. What worries me, the slide on the px4 rides VERY low (more so than previous double actions marui did). With that new ramp, the slide has a lot more trouble returning to battery and cycling. Not that it should cause a problem when shooting (unless the gun is extremely dry) but it's worse than the original in that respect. Also yesterday I got a chance to examine one for a bit, the slide to frame gap has increased quite a bit...and it's not just on the front, it's on all of the slide. I'd say I like the design of the original and I don't know why they changed that (cost saving?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Mine is ramped. If you retract the slide and let it back slowly it can get stuck half-way and you can get it unstuck by just giving the gun a shake, but it never happened while shooting(well ok it happened but it was very cold and the green gas was really weak at that point). Other than that I had no problems with the gun(except for the mentioned broken trigger spring, which seems to be the most common problem of this gun). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 It was a big difference in how it felt and how it looked. Though I am comparing it to the first production of the PX4. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Mine is one of the first batch too, imported straight from japan as soon as it came out. It's been a while since I've seen mine with the original plastic slide, but the frame didn't feel different to me. The most notable difference for me is the colour (frame and slide finish-wise), but then again I don't actually own the new gen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Kenxin, could they have done it because this is probably the only TM pistol made lately that, I believe, was really designed to handle green gas and thats not allowed in Japan? When I bought mine, I was trying to choose beween it and the TM Strike Warrior. When I picked up the PX4, I could'nt believe how solid it felt and then I noticed the recoil buffer and the fact that even the metal sub-frame in the slide as well as the receiver seemed more substantial then most of the latest TM's. Maybe they had to "dial it back" a bit. Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John_234 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 How much do any of you use double action? My WE eventually gave up the ghost with it's DA and will only hit the valve knocker in SA. I gave it up for a Glock 19. No idea if this was a QC issue, or something inherent in the TM architecture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
