I have been much impressed with a new 9mm Beretta PX4 Compact. This has proven to be reliable, accurate and a lot of paper-punching fun, and as much as I like my Walter P99, I enjoy shooting a pistol with a hammer. In an ideal world I would order a holster for the new Beretta from Ryan Grizzle, but as much as I like them I really don't want to wait six months for one of his excellent products.

I turned instead to the holsters available from Beretta itself. That proved to work out nicely, as the holsters they offer are nice, really well-crafted and thin, molded leather, made in Italy. They are reasonably priced, but most importantly they offer a quality product ready to ship. I just wish I had enough sense to have ordered one when they were still available for a Model 84.

I'm getting a new appreciation across the board for Beretta and their products. If you have a recent Beretta pistol, check out those holsters for a really nice rig with very little wait time.
