The Px4 was designed around .40? I know the Glock was 9mm first and .40 got dropped in it, but I'd figure the Beretta was focused on 9mm.I'm not a .40 fan, but I lean toward the Beretta because in .40, I prefer a pistol designed around the cartridge rather than one adapted from a 9mm platform to .40.
The PX4, HK USP/P30/VP, S&W M&P, SIG P229, and most of the newer introductions were designed around the .40 S&W. The Glock was not. The 3-pin, the Gen 4 redesign, and the heavier slide of the Gen 5 .40 S&W Glocks were all efforts to improve the functionality of the Glock in .40 S&W. Glock wasn't the only one though, as the Beretta 90 Series tried the angled dust cover, the Brigadier slide, and the buffer in the 90-Two/92A1/96A1 to extend the life span of the 90 Series guns in .40 S&W.The Px4 was designed around .40?

Trigger weight can be changed with a $12 spring replacement. https://langdontactical.com/px4-chrome-silicon-hammer-spring/I've had them both. My PX4 had a heavy DAO trigger, ...
If the PX4 had a lighter trigger, it would have been fine.

The PX4 has three variants available the Type "D" which is apparently what you had in Double Action Only, the Type "C" which is a "constant action" making it similar in function to most striker fired triggers, and the Type "F" that is Double Action/Single Action, this is the most common model.Mine was a LE trade-in that had a stiff DAO trigger with a long travel. My understanding is that most PX4's are DA/SA, so their trigger is just different.
The factor that first caught my eye concerning the PX4 was the rotating barrel lockup. I've been a sucker for oddball systems since the roller-delayed H&K P9SI think there would have to be some specific feature or features on the PX4 that would make you choose it over the Glock.

Some background.
Gen 4 .40 is pretty good, but I would agree the best Glock .40 is in 10mm.
Since I won't own a Glock product, the recommendation is easy.
