Where is all the weight on the TM Beretta PX4?

The hi capa is heavy because of the metal frame, the 1911 because of the metal grip inserts, and the M9A1 because of the grip inserts and a metal weight on the inner barrel.

What accounts for the weight of the PX4? It is one of Marui's heaviest pistols.

I'm not entirely sure but the plastic is very thick around the grip, I think there's most likely weights in the grip

Thanks pal.

The magazine.  With it out its a very light gun

That is true of all TM pistols.

But the PX4 is still considerably  heavier than a TM Glock, Sig, HK or M&P.

The 2 part inner chassis and hammer spring housing look to be significant lumps of cast metal.

Considering it's one of my smaller pistols, there is a fair amount of weight in pistol itself. I think the weight is evenly distributed between the pistol and the mag. 

The lightest pistol I have sans Mag is my FN5-7. Even with the Guarder kit, it's incredibly lightweight. The mags are CHONK though, so it makes sense.
