Beretta Px4 Storm Compact Gun Review [4K]

- Ed takes an in-depth look at the Beretta Px4 Storm Compact, a double-action/single-action, hammer-fired 9mm pistol with a polymer frame.
There's a lot to like here. The gun is reliable and accurate with minimal actual and perceived recoil for rapid target reacquisition and follow-up shots. The fit and finish on the gun is excellent, and its safety features and customizability make it a very flexible platform.
A hearty recommendation from PGR.

I don't quite understand why everyone is suddenly reviewing this gun now, although I'm happy to see my daily carry get more attention and respect, as it's an excellent gun, and basically the Glock of the DA/SA world, with even more reliability and without the cost cutting.
With the resurgence of DA/SA and the rise of PCCs today, I feel like Beretta was just too ahead of their time 15 years ago when they released the Px4 and Cx4.
Picked up a used Beretta RX seven storm in excellent condition. Sat on it for a month and shot it yesterday. Absolutely fantastic fit my hand perfectly shot really well love the sights love the action I got a new carry. You can’t go wrong with this beauty.
Chuck went up to an old senior citizen. That’s a Beretta PX for compact storm. The gun is far better than the user deserves.
Here I go again chalk one up two an old 🤨citizen
I just stumbled upon this review and it's the best one for this pistol I've seen yet. Highly informative and professionally done!
Very easy to convert to a “G” model. Change the wing levers to slim profile, install LTT trigger bar and lighter #10 spring…takes the PX4 to a different level.
I have the PX4 full-size with the complete LTT kit. Fantastic gun and a keeper for me. I would like the compact w/ LTT kit, but I am hoping they will do a waaaaay overdue PX4 v.2 update.
Unfortunately both the Px4 and Cx4 are unlikely to ever get an update, which is a shame because both should be fairy popular today with the popularity of PCCs and with DA/SAs coming back into style.
Beretta hasn't had stock on a lot of the Px4 upgrades for a while, and will likely never restock some of them. They seem to have put all their focus into pushing the APX, likely to try and recoup development costs after not winning the MHS trials.
Nice review. The new LTT OP trigger bar gives it a SIG SRT or PPQ-like reset. LTT now also has a 10# hammer spring. With these two upgrades alone reduced my DA pull to about 6.5-7 lbs and my SA to about 4-4.5 lbs. (sometimes pulling below 4 lbs. on my Lyman digital trigger scale). I also have the Inox model, so not having a Bruniton finish the serrations have very good traction even without relying on the controls like you pointed out. In theory it makes putting sights on easier as the Bruniton finish makes the factor sights difficult to remove. I would rather have a black gun, but it is what it is and I agree, this gun is a keeper.
Had a chance to shoot this firearm last week and I was immediately sold on its quality and accuracy. Buying one next month. Great review by the way. You hit some points others didn’t.
That's one beautiful pistol.
The PX4 took about 20 years to grow on me, but I believe in badly in need of a redesign. For starters, a 1913 picattiny rail, new rear sights, some finger grooves on the grip and a new slide release/catch.
I own this gun and the px4 45 love them both!
Thanks a lot for the review. I purchased the LTT customized version. Phenomenal trigger, outstanding firearm.
Nice review, first reviewer to note the trigger reach, which is a concern to some.
Great review! Just purchased a used PX4 Storm from GB because I could not find a 9mm version locally. Looking forward to hitting the range and if things go well, I plan to use it as an edc pistol.
I own the px4 compact and I love it I have the stock version it is an awesome gun .. even though I own this I still like your review on this and have watched it many times... Lol
Great review on a great pistol.
Nice review,nice compact gun.The size of the gun is really good and ideal for conceal carry.Not too big not too small👍
Great review. Appreciate the comparison with the G26. And to the compact carry model
this is my next purchase
I like my full size G. Model.great pistol been shooting mine 6 years eats all ammo.hornady critical duty what I keep loaded.😮😮😮
Excelent review
Have one from langdon tactical on the way with the trigger job and optimized trigger bar. I have a langdon 92 centurion with all the bells and whistles including np3 and its an amazing trigger. Hopefully this one will be close in feel.
Fascinating comparison to the G26.
Sure is a cool pistol. Special. Would love to carry the full-size.
I would say the recoil spring. I believe it's polymer. I may be wrong on that. I don't remember that one. I do like the trigger in a bag. I definitely think it's worth it. But I had no complaints about the factory trigger. I also changed the cam to the SD model. Also you can get the 20 round mags too. Maybe not a upgrade but cool anyway.a
Love that gun in the 40, however i would like to replace those huge slide release levers. Its not that big if they were more conservative with the levers. I guess they are for glove wearers or something. Still honestly no complaints with the pistol. Its the trips to the range that make it worth owning for me. Its accurate and soft shooting for a 40, the best part is the other people at the range. This pistol doesnt have the brand recognition of smith and wesson or glock. So when i pull it out of the holster or case i get alot of "what the heck is that?".
There is a flat slide release and safety/decocker levers from Beretta. The flat slide release is only left side, though. It is designed for the full size, but it will fit the compact.
I’m really loving your in depth and technically detailed reviews. It’s almost calming. Any chance you can review a Sphinx SDP Compact some time in the future? I’m a sucker for nice DA/SA guns.
Wonderful firearm
I just bought a PX4 9mm. Like you, most reviewers of this gun do not address the "half cock" (actually more like a quarter cock) feature. A couple of reviewers state they would not carry or fire the PX4 from the half cock position, but, they give no reasoning for their opinions. My Sig P226 and HK USP Compact both decock to the half cock position and are commonly carried in and fired from this hammer setting. The owners manual does not indicate that the half cock presents any hazard. It does say, "maximum safety" is achieved with the hammer fully forward. Is there any legitimate reason I should not carry this pistol in the half cocked status?
The 92fs has the half cock position also.
Great post 👍🏻👍🏻
very good review...thank you
Love me a PX4
HILIGHT makes a laser/ light for this pistol, P3GL that works great and reasonable.
Dont waste your money on that garbage light. Get a streamlight at the least
I just bought one of those online and I asked for switch magazine release button for me I'm a lefty and I want to be switched by a professional so we will get it this week I hope also I want to get more ammo.
Don't need to worry about racking the Beretta decocker stays loaded.locks back when empty.slide release then.😊😊😊
Is that the stock model, no upgrades? How is the OEM trigger? I’ve thought about this pistol for a long time. But everybody talks about the upgrades from LTT. Over $2000 for a polymer pistol is excessive.
Is it normal for a locked open G26 to show spring like that, exposed beyond the slide opening?
Nice gun but the polymer frame scratches easily as compared to glock polymer frame
Is it safe to carry in the half-cocked position with the safety off?
It’s pointless. You increase the odds of an accidental misfire and you still have a long trigger pull. You’re better off carrying safety off one in chamber locked back on hammer. At least you have an upside there
Definitely don't carry it cocked with one in the chamber. The "half-cock" is no less safe than a CZ or hk. I wouldn't do it because you should practice decocking and shooting the full trigger pull. The decocker drops it all the way down.
IF the red dot is covered AND you haven’t brain freezed about that and haven’t snagged one of those large safety wings THEN it can’t possibly go off even if something gets caught in the trigger guard. HOWEVER a holster is and always will be the first safety measure. NO carrying un-chambered isn’t as good, because someone might have played with it while you weren’t around, roommates and kids first instinct is to rack ‘em. (Always check for chambered round even if you carry or store unchambered).
Is this the jxc9gel model? thx!!
Tell me a threaded barrel is available..nothing so far
15:33 Anyone know where I can purchase this part?
I lost mine.
Both the locking block and block adaptor (plastic piece) show in stock at Midwest Gun Works.
@@joefw2446 Thank you. Purchased the locking block already. Thought it was going to come with the adaptor. I appreciate you.
Does the cold hammered forged barrel make it taste great or less filling?
