Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Beretta PX4 Type F and Type G?

The Type F features both a safety and a decocker, while the Type G has only a decocker. The conversion aims to remove the manual safety function from the Type F, preventing accidental engagement during slide manipulation.

What tools are needed for the PX4 Type F to Type G conversion?

You will need basic gunsmithing tools, including a 3/32" punch, a hammer, and potentially punches or picks for manipulating small internal parts. Ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace.

How do you convert a Beretta PX4 Type F to decocker only?

The conversion involves disassembling the slide, removing the safety lever assembly, and crucially, removing the small detent ball and its spring from the safety lever. This eliminates the mechanism that allows the lever to lock in the 'safe' position.

Is it safe to convert a Beretta PX4 Type F to Type G?

Yes, the conversion itself is safe if performed correctly following detailed instructions. However, thorough reassembly, function checks, and live-fire testing are essential to ensure the firearm remains safe to operate.
