I was planning a review of my own, but e-luder's is well written and covers the basics nicely so I'll just add a few points which were not covered:
1. [as already pointed out] the rotating barrel mechanism is very similar to the real PX4's and the barrel does rotate properly -- not an illusion. If you field strip the slide and remove the spring guide + locking block, you can manually rotate the chamber and you'll see the entire barrel does rotate (doesn't affect the inner barrel);
2. The inner barrel is TM compatible but the stock gun comes with a tightbore already installed (measured to 6.04mm);
3. Unlike the TM, the front sight is screwed in (small screw accessible under the slide). I installed the NineBall Tritium sights and while the rear sight fits flawlessly, be prepared to get creative to install the front one (I opted against drilling a screw hole into it due to the risk of damaging the ³H vial);
4. I have a small niggle about filling the stock mag: somehow the Marui mag seems easier to fill. The HK3 mag is just really finicky about the angle of the fill probe. Given the price difference (about $10), I'll just stick to TM mags;
5. As originally noted in the review, the gun doesn't have much kick compared to other similar pistols (neither does its real steel counterpart, even in larger calibers) and is decently accurate. I can't think of many upgrades to throw on, maybe a fancy hop up rubber or something.
Personally I've found this to be one the best performing stock GBB pistols I've ever shot and hands down the best value for money, even at inflated Canadian prices.
