The Cult of Beretta’s PX4 Storm

- Cult isn’t always a bad word!!
Several guns have cult followings - and the PX4 is high on that list.
In this video I’ll take a look at couple of reasons I think people love this firearm.
Would love to hear about your experiences with the Storm!

We are not a cult. We will have our storms with us when we ride the comet to the plant of Zetar.

I stumbled across James Reeve's videos with Langdon on the Px4 and I found a used LTT Px4 CC not long after. It had almost all the upgrades, minus the Np3 coating, but had an optics cut and the RMR included. The amazing thing, it was $850. Spec'd out from LTT, it would be close to $1800. It's so amazing. It became my main carry gun, super duper flat shooting, and soft to boot. I'm still getting used to it, my main pistol being a CZ P07, so it definitely took some getting used to.
that was a steal!!! awesome find!!! you just mentioned two of my favorite shooters with both the PX4 and the P07 - both great guns!!! thanks so much for watching!!
Similar to mine, I saw the same video and a couple by Chris Baker with his, the lucky gunner/ammo I think it is. I found the Langdon tactical version, new with a couple holsters, one was a $200 holster I was able to sell. It carried the pistol was too high.
A great pistol, I am a Beretta fan. The trigger is almost too light. I was able to get that package for $650. After seeing them on Gunbroker for $800-$900, I jumped on this one.
Definitely wanna get one in hand before ordering one, cant find them anywhere in store. I would like to have one for carry but based off the specs, it seems even larger than my CZ’s and my P30.
@@ResplendentRaider Specs are deceiving. Especially on the compact. The way the lines are cut on the gun it seems to be much smaller. When you hold it it’s seems way too small to be a 15 round pistol. It doesn’t feel that heavy, is great in an appendix holster and the trigger (especially the worked ones) are phenomenal. It’s a very “safe” gun as well. A lot of people’s measurements that make it seem larger than other guns as far as width, are measuring the stock safety / de-cocker paddles. The slide and frame has a very thin profile.
People think that it looks ugly, but if you pick the gun up and shoot it, you will wonder why you waited so long.
@@ResplendentRaiderthat’s not good. If you can make it work out for your needs ,they seem like good guns. Im on the lookout for one. A bargain. Gen 1-2 stock would be good. or whatever I find,except one with diy internal work. Too hot right now. Just got a reboot on popularity..it should die down soon enough.
Really enjoy this channel, in a world of striker fired guns I love to see SA/DA guns . Huge beretta fan !
You made my week- thanks so very much!!!
I have a px4 full size .40, i installed a langdon trigger bar 🔥 im a happy camper. Shoots beautifully.
I dont think Beretta has ever made a "bad" or unreliable firearm...every handgun and shotgun they have ever made has knocked it out of the park. We'll have to see how their new rifle does. Both my PX4 Compact Carry 9mm and my Beretta M9A4 are incredibly accurate, ergonomic, and have never malfunctioned after over 2500 rounds through each.
I'm a member of the PX4 cult!
Same.
Me too! This gun is awesome and always has been!
Me too! Top gun!
Ditto. My EDC for several years now❗️. pew…pew ❕

I've got a PX4 in .40 that I traded a Sig P250 for. Best swap I ever made.
Carried since they came out switched to Smiths for a few years and back to the PX4 great pistols I have a little over 5000 through mine without a stoppage
Langdon trigger bar is also compatible with the Sub-Compact if you want to spruce it up. Putting in a D hammer spring is also an option as well.
Excellent info! Thanks for sharing and for watching!!
Love both of mine!!!!! On the look out for another one!!!!
great show keep up with more information i want to learn more
Love this firearm. 9 and 40. Great video.
Thanks for the resource on Facebook. Always nice to find good info with good people. Guess I’m in a cult then 🤣
Put a set of Talon grips on those and you'll enjoy them EVEN MORE. I adore my PX4
I never even thought about the px4 storm . I got it new for $299 . I was impressed enough to get rid of the Glock that I really didn’t like .
Now my every day carry for around 6 years . I practice at 20-100 yards .
I wanted a high-quality DA/SA 9mm double stacker compact with no manual safety and good holster availability. The PX4 Compact was on my short list, but I couldn't get the variant with a decocker-only and no manual safety. They seemed to be rare as honest politicians. I wound up buying a HK P30SK V3 with factory night sights. I run the guns as they come in the box, no mods.
You got a good 2nd choice, but you could have bought the px4 compact and converted it yourself. It was just removing some ball bearings.
Just ordered my LTT compact, I’m like a kid waiting for Santa 😂 been following this gun for over a year now. Once I saw the gen 2 I had to pull the trigger!
How do you know which one is which? Is it the gsd or whatever its called for $850? I just want the LLT trigger job.
New recruit to the group myself. It's the most slept-on pistol out there
I'm wondering if I should get the new PX4 Storm full size or the CZ SP-01 Tactical. I have a Shield Plus already and have an M&P 2.0 on the way.
Appreciate your videos. I’m waiting to get my px4 full size back from LTT. Of course now I want the G-SD version 😂
I’ve been going back and forth on the next gun I want. For me its all about purpose, not safe kings or from a collector point of view. This one has been in the running’s and I think its the one. I really dont need another carry option since I have the P01,P07, and my P30 but this one keeps calling me.
you can limp wrist the px4 and it will still cycle, if you get one before using it check the inside parts for thick hard grease and really clean that out. i predicted 6 months ago this gun with it's awsome action will go viral. i got the full size f model and want also the compact which are both hammer fire, the sub-compact is the tilting barrel action. love the one piece curved trigger. i really wish they would make a compact model without the ugly rail! don't need it for conceal carry! my new smith shield 2.0 is really thin and conceals great! think on that mr.beretta lol
Thank you for the feedback and for watching!!
Great video, great pistol!
I agree that folks who like/enjoy the PX4 Storm line is solid, although overlooked/ignored by many. It took me a while, as the "looks" were a misleading distraction. After finally purchasing a full size, I am hooked, and the LLT trigger in a bag raised to bar to don't look back mode. I am looking for a good deal on a PX4 Storm compact to add and will have the LTT trigger in a bag installed. The LTT treatment by LTT team is amazing, but I am not paying $1,500 to over $2k for a carry gun that might be confiscated. I also keep hoping that Beretta will wake up and bring us a v. 2.0. It's way past time... The 92 and APX series keep getting updates, and they are appreciated, but the PX4 lines needs some lovin' imo.
Thank you, I will join the FB group to educate myself before I buy, but I do want one.
Probably $2500 with all the LTT upgrades. But I still like the pistol. Thanks for the review.
Great guns! Love mine!
love it. easy shooter and very accurate. doesn't look like a glock. whats not to like?
Yes! Thanks for watching!!!
The plum barrel on Full size is nice
I’m a lefty. Does anyone know if I can add a slide release on the right side for a Compact Carry 2
I think the lack of these in movies and video games is why they were never popular. Everyone who owns one loves it
Agree!!! Although it was prominently featured in Inception - one of my favorite movies!! And also the last Die Hard i think… I guess a successor to John’s 92!
I chose the PX4 Storm Compact, because of the controllable recoil. I wanted the full size, but it is a full 0.95 inches longer than the compact version. The full sized has 4.0 inch barrel compared to the 3.27 inch barrel of the compact. Yes, the longer barrel on the full sized is more accurate at greater distances than the compact. The PX4 full size and compact are definitely "fat" guns, but I wear one pant size larger to accomodate the compact and full size. The Beretta 90 series are the most popular and most iconic, but the PX4 storm is made in Italy and is accurate at 30 to 40 ft which is the industry accepted defensive zone 👍🏾
Just got this for my first gun 🤙🏼
Thanks dude
I want somebody to tell me where I can get a hoster for a peak's compact pixel 4 storm
@ 2:44 - It was also Nicholas Cage’s character carry gun, in his movie, “Humanity Bureau” (2018). 😉
Did not know that! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Thanks.
I’ve been thinking about this pistol a long time. I’m just wondering if the stock compact carry pistol is good without all the LTT upgrades. An LTT pistol cost over $1500. Don’t think the gun is worth that. I would like the compact carry G model. 😊
I had the stock “Compact Carry”, which was designed with help from Langdon but comes from the Beretta factory. It is distinct from the basic PX4 Compact in that the Carry has an upgraded “competition” trigger, special sights, low-profile de-cocker only, grey slide, bobbed hammer, and a couple other things. It’s priced higher than the basic Compact but I got it on sale. It’s a great gun, excellent shooter, though it’s still a longer, harder trigger pull than the ones from Langdon (I have a 92 from LTT and the trigger is butter). Ultimately, the PX4 was a bit too chunky for me to carry in South Florida. I scratched my DA/SA itch with an HK P30SK, also from Langdon, which is a bit smaller and lighter.
I bought a used compact, put stealth decocking levers on, low profile slide release and a ten pound hammer spring. All purchased through LTT and installed by myself. Great shooting gun and still under $700 total
I am becoming a member of the cult😂😂. My local gun store only had it in 45 cap and I’m not doing IDPA with 45. Searching high and low for the 9. Keep running into 40 and 45
I have the sub compact; do I count as a cult member?????
Excellent pistol
I don’t consider myself to be a PX4 cult member because I own a regularly shoot a dozen different hand guns from Baretta, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, and Ruger. I love them all, but if I had to pick one of the SHTF it would be my PX4 compact.
does the compact also have a rotating barrel???
The full size and compact both have rotating barrels. The sub compact has traditional tilting action. Thanks so much for watching!!
The PX4 Storm is my bedside firearm. Enough said.
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching!
Me too
This gun is fabulous!
Same
I was expecting a harsh review. This gun has neither misplaced NOR excessive confidence in it. Great review.
That reset was incredible,wow!! These pistols are the best money can buy!!
The PX4 Storm has a strange history. It debuted back when DA/SA was completely out of style in favor of either SA or striker fired, and went unnoticed for over a decade before Langdon single handedly made it one of the hottest pistols on the market.
I've had two, a compact .40 amd now a fullsize .40. I think they're neat, amd my experience Langdonizing the trigger of the Compact made me very impressed woth the results, but something about them always seems a bit off. I think it's the frame shape/texture and the slide finish. Plus the sound of the slife cycling when dryfiring it just seems...different😂. Overall though, I really like the pistol (that's why I bought a replacement after selling my first one).
...you can say it. They're ugly 🤣
Px4 storm ⛈️ ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hi, do you like spurless hammer?
Love the PX4! The Compact is perfect
I have a Langdon compact carry on its way. I guess I’m in the cult.
What about the "cult" of Glock or M&P?
Hate the slide mounted safety.. A prejudice I picked up in the '80s.
Is owning five considered excessive? Subcompact 40, compact 9, full-size 9, full-size 40 & 45.
I think not..lol. Outstanding collection, sir!
Yes you're definitely in the cult. Thankfully you bought all of the flavors.
No, that's known as "completing the set" It's like buying the really little and really big combination wrenches.
I’m not on Facebook. Are there any other sites that are dedicated to the px4. I own the full size,compact and finally found a subcompact. All in 9mm. And love every one of them. They are different looking in a good way.
Proud card carrying member 😂. Decocker only kit made me move almost entirely from striker fired.
I need a layaway plan to join this cult🙄..... Oh, could the compact be had with an extended barrel? Asking for a friend that doesn't need a layaway plan.
Not a cult. People like us have a higher standard and are willing to pay a little extra for that quality.
I convert more to the cult every range day
I like everything except the finish which lacks the durability like the Smith MP or Glock type finish. They show wear way to much for a weapon that has the kind of robust build quality. They should either adopt a stainless steel or Armorite or maybe even a Parkerized finish
I subscribe to the philosophy.
Now when we let you into our ahem CLUB you agreed to not talk about it. And here you are.
Glock friend: You in that PX4 cult?
Me: We prefer to call it a dedicated fan club...
Glock friend: Yup. This is the cult.
I hated the PX4 until I shot it. I rented one and wound up buying the rental gun that I liked it so much. Been a Beretta fan boy ever since. Now I own 4. These are designed by the same people that designed the DeLorean, the DeTomaso Mangusta, and, um,,, The FIAT Panda. An evolution of the Cougar. SUPER reliable.
Hmmm.
I have the PX4 compact. In a few weeks, I will get the PX4 Full Size. I want the full size for the 4 inch barrel, because it is more accurate. I can afford a 90 series Beretta, but I love the very controllable recoil and how easy the barrel gets back down on target.
@@CasperChicago The 92 and the PX4 are pretty different. In a good way. And you'll be surprised how different the PX4 C is to the full size. You can actually own both. And it's not that the compact is even snappy to its full size brother. you'll probably like the full size more. Shoots a little smoother and just as concealable. And if you can get a hold of a competition trigger group and a LTT trigger bar, you'll be in total business.
It's great pistol, one of the best duty pistols out, period. Sometimes people like myself feel the need to overstate it's effectiveness because it's dismissed a lot by normies.
My edc
I am a card carrying member of the PX4 cult!
Man Beretta is sitting on a gold mine and they don't even realize it. People are paying stupid prices to buy a PX4 compact which you can't find anywhere. Meanwhile Beretta keeps trying to push their Glock striker-fire clone APX which no one wants lol.
I want the APX and I have one of the first centurions. I want px4 compact too, and my gunstore has them in every configuration.
@roaringsteelmedia absolutely agree! I used to have striker-fire guns but sold all of them and run all hammer-fire guns now. There's something about hammer-fire which I really like. It's kind of like driving a stickshift car, there's more a learning curve but in the end it's more fun. Striker-fires are the CVT's (Continuously Variable Transmissions) of the gun world lol
@stern2701 I have the M9A3 which I love! I've always wanted a PX4. I may get a 3032 Tomcat eventually
@@kensai77 I really want a 92 series beretta! It’s my dream gun but I have no luck finding them and if I do they are in bad condition. I rock the CZ p07 for appendix and beretta APX centurion outside the waistband.
Not a Colt.
I'm joining the cult. I thought I was a CZ 75 kind of girl but apparently I'm a px4 girl.
you need to drink the kool aide
