Beretta PX4 Storm

[Reaper497]

How are we doing today guys/gals?

Ever since BD has gotten back into handgunning, I've been more and more interested in shooting pistols as well. On more than a few occasions, we have gone to the range (or even stayed home) and shot the pistols. I'm sure you have seen pieces of the sidearm arsenal at one point or another on these forums.

Needless to say, I'm thinking about getting my own gun which will eventually be used for concealed carry whenever I'm old enough. But the subject of this thread to ask for your opinions, and to find out if anyone has any experience with this particular model - the Beretta PX4 Storm.

I'm mostly interested in the Full-Size Type F Model in 9mm...The type F is also available in 40 S&W and .45ACP. The type G Model (which is decocker-only) comes in 9mm and 40 S&W.

Other major features of the PX4 include 17-round capacity for 9mm (14 for 40SW), interchangeable mag release buttons, trigger mechanisms, and grips. It's also SA/DA, has a rail, an ambidextrous safety, and weighs only 27.7ozs unloaded because its made of technopolymer.

I'm hoping someone has experience with this firearm. :2gunsfiri

I'm not a fan of any of the modern pistols, give me a 1911 style gun. But Dargo has one of these and wrote somewhere here on the Forums that he liked it. Dargo has a couple dozen modern pistols so if he likes a pistol it is probably a pretty good gun. He does favor the Glocks, however, and those are tough to beat in the modern wonderguns.

Thanks Bob,

The Glocks are nice guns, and shoot very well...But I personally like the idea of the thumb safety...Thats just MHO

I have several Berettas ... 92's & 96's but never really warmed up to the plastic ones. Purchased the 9000 and saw how the gun got really loose over time. Never had that happen with a metal gun.
