    92 magazines go from double column to single column. Virtually all modern submachineguns feed from a double column at the top. Also, the 92 magazines are slanted while the full double column magazines are not. Like all pistol magazines, the 92 magazines are just not an efficient use of space when compared to typical submachinegun magazines. I am surprised that they have not seemed to curve the magazine a bit as they're typically more reliable in 9mm when designed that way.

    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    I already have the SP5, SP5k and B&T APC 9 pro, all SBRed. I also have a CMMG Mk9T 16” (basically a Colt clone). Not sure what the PMX offers over my B&T.

    Why are you self limiting? Unlike women, you can have more than one at a time.

    I'm a huge fan. I got to play with one a few months back and greatly preferred the lower to the one that came on my P26. Hoping parts will be available for those that want to convert.

    I'm somewhat interested in these. I've been weighing my options between a Scorpion or a KUSA KP-9. I don't know if the PMX is quite worth the extra $$, though.

    Because what little range time I get these days, it’s more fruitful for me to focus on a few platforms.

    Those are good mags, including the 30's.
    Most angle feed mags suck for subguns and SBRs. Beretta already made the CX4 Storm if that is what you want.

    While I am a huge fan of "one example of each", at some point designs become redundant and the money is better spent supporting the examples that already exist in your collection. I don't think this Beretta offers anything unique or is so desirable / affordable that a person would be stupid to not buy one.

    For the advanced collector there are better options for the same money, for the entry level shooter there are better options for the same money. The only person I can see who "must have" something like this are people who are dedicated to collecting Beretta firearms specifically in the same way there are some HK collectors who buy every variant, even the really stupid ones.

    Can you compare the recoil to other 9mm platforms?
