Could not agree more. These guns just run. For concealed carry purposes this is the best DA/SA option available for a compact gun. I’m not talking about war zone capable. I’m talking everyday, back and forth to work or whatever, low recoil, fast shooting reliability, this is it.
@@benjamin3290 would you take your 226 over a beretta 92X I have both and think I would take the beretta just because they have seen as much action as the 226 and are now more upgraded to handle harsh environments which the 226 is the same as it always was which isn't a bad thing lol just wondering
Me and my buddies tried the regular compact version at the range a while ago. None of us are great shooters, but none of us could miss with this thing. These guns are astonishing. I definitely wanna grab at least a couple non-neutered mags for this before WA’s mag ban starts.
I bought the regular compact PX4 storm approximately a year ago , installed their trigger bar and fire control unit for about $180 if I remember rightI this pistol is fantastic .
The Italians are very underrated when it comes to pistols. All the way back to the M51 (some would say even the M34) and through the M92, the Italians have made top notch pistols.
I've owned and carried a px4 full size with green polymer frame for over eight years now. I couldn't say how many rounds are thru it but it's a crazy amount. I couldn't ask for a gun I trust more in over 45 years of carrying a weapon. It eats any 9mm ammo I put thru it with above average accuracy.
Awesome! Yes... just swapping out the hammer spring is likely the biggest 'bang for the buck' improvement one can make to the PX4. I really could not believe the difference it made - WOW! In fact, I find myself wanting to practice the 1st DA shot more and more... just so light and smooth. :)
@@tobylmiller Your not wrong, the spring helped reduce the weight of the pull. But you are correct, the out of the box trigger is perfectly fine. Lightening it up makes it a lot easier on that pointer finger!
Thank you for promoting a good worthwhile charity. It is always awesome seeing RUclipsrs using their platform to assist others in need. Also sweet sweet gun!
Took ya long enough to show Langdon some love lol. I've owned and loved my PX4 since I bought it new in 2009. Mine has a few LTT goodies but since it's approaching 10k rounds I'm going to find a new example to give it the full treatment.
Langdon Tactical has similarities to Wilson Combat. If price point is the deciding factor, there are other less expensive options. If performance is the deciding factor, I've found Langdon and Wilson stuff are hard to beat.
I have a PX4 Storm in .40. It has phenomenal ergonomics and is a great shooter. Another pistol success from the Italians. A worthy successor to the M51 and M92. It's a tack driver right out of the box.
Watching your wife handle the gun, maintaining control through the recoil says quite a bit. She looked extremely comfortable and in control with every shot … getting lots of hits. I’m really enjoying the Langdon reviews. One may end up on my want list soon, especially after watching how well this carry version handles. Looking forward to the 1000 round review.
One of the most underrated pistol.Very light,accurate and easy to conceal.I also like the fact that one mag can load up to 17 rounds (unlike the normal 15 on most pistols).One may also customize it to meet his/her needs and wants.I surely would recommend this to anyone interested in owning a pistol.
I own 3 storms, sub compact in 40 that I just bought and have yet to shoot, a full sized 40 that is my home defense pistol and the compact in 9mm that, despite owning a WC EDC9 among many others is my preferred carry. I LOVE LOVE them. The rotating barrel has a real and very noticeable impact on the shooting experience, it is easy to take down and clean and as accurate as my Atlas, NHC, and Phoenix Trinitys. It is such an overlooked gun that I like so many others am shocked that more people haven’t discovered it. The LTT work is wonderful. The double action is smooth with no grit and the single action is outrageous. It will eat any ammunition, which I can honestly say is not the case with all my guns. You’ll never regret picking up a PX4 Storm Compact. Oh, and lastly, the Compact non-LTT, was still designed by Earnest Langdon and has an upgraded grip and trigger, just not the full LTT work so you dont need to the full monte to really enjoy it. Mine isn’t a full LTT and it is spectacular.
The biggest improvement to the trigger comes from the LTT Optimized Performance trigger bar. The part itself is about pretty affordable and makes a dramatic difference in the reset and over travel . That along with a lighter hammer spring takes this from an okay trigger to a phenomenal trigger.
It is just totally worth it to buy the whole Trigger Job in a Bag from LTT or send your pistol in for the LTT in shop trigger job service. That's how you get the "Totally F'n Insane" trigger as described by HO in the above video. Why half ass it.
I want one! Working on building out a cz p07 (cajunized, red dot, and stippling) right now. Once I get through abusing the cz, I'll have to pick up another Beretta. I've pretty much come full circle, and da/sa guns are all I want to carry anymore. Decocker only, of course.
Thank you guys for getting this out! I’m looking forward to a compare and contrast between the 92 Ltt and the PX4 Ltt-and those with anything/everything else. I have the 92 and I’m looking hard at switching to the px4 for carry. So please keep ‘em coming. Thanks for all your work. Especially enjoyed how much Mrs Outlaw was rockin!
I have owned, shot and have been loving my PX4 Compact Carry, fully accessorized with LTT components, since March 2017. 11,400 live rounds and countless dry fires later and still 100% reliable and dependable. I have the LTT RDS solution, Talon Pros, a Holosun 507C mounted and carried in a Black Rhino Concealment AIWB ACS holster. It has a sweet six and change double action, and a three and change single action that is crisp with a positive short reset. The recoil effects are real from the rotating barrel design and it is significantly softer shooting than any of my other 9mm pistols in this size. From drill to drill, my personal best record is with this pistol. Once you add everything I've invested, yeah it is a little pricey, for me it has been well worth every penny.
I own and love this sexy thing! Its name is Ernie. The function, look and feel compared to the full size .45 is literally night & day. LTT customer service was outstanding. They’re enthusiasts and are very knowledgeable of their craft. If you’ve got the wallet, do yourself the favor and get something that Langdon and his crew builds. Its custom trigger & reset, sights, NP3 coated mags, trigger system and barrel are just an amazing piece of art. They build to suit. I added the laser etching on the slide, 92 de-cocker and NP3. It all adds up but if you’re gonna buy a Ferrari, get one that is badass! They build other manufactures also and this will not be my last LTT.
Totally agree with the quality and under rate of this pistol … I’m buy the PX4 compact and do by my self the G de cocker to the same factory level , put rober tallongrip and it’s the most soft and accurate 9 mm of all my pistol out of the box..💪🏼👍🏼
PX4 compact is still my carry since my last post. Still love it. Got one of the beretta mag extensions and put it on a 15 rd mag. So side note for people about PX4 the compacts and full size use different mags, but the mags will all work in the compact. but the 17rd mags leave a gap. they make extensions for 17 to 20rd. so put one on your 15 and you got a flush extended mag. so my compact carrys 18+1 . The two carry guns I have left after trying glocks, sigs, smiths, taurus, and others the two guns I carry are a PX4 or my Jericho 2, I am just a DA/SA guy.
So glad you’ve been doing videos with the PX4 series. They are severely underrated and unnoticed. I carry the compact carry everyday! I’m wholly convinced it’s just a matter of marketing. (Also Walther makes amazing pistols too, they just don’t market well).
GREAT REVIEW! I look forward to your 1,000 round discussion next :) Curious... Were you aware that Langdon performed a 50,000 round endurance test of his PX4 - SUPER IMPRESSIVE STUFF! The PX4 is a criminally underrated pistol!
I think it's so cool how you edit in the "ting" noises in from 75 and beyond. At least that's what I tell myself to feel better about my own shooting. Keep the videos coming, you're easily the most enjoyable "reviewer"/"shooter" to watch.
That is one beautiful looking gun. The Italians really know how to make everything look amazing. I tend to prefer striker fired over hammer for concealed carry, but I really hope this gun does well, it is seriously one of the most underrated guns out there.
That, that’s my dream EDC. Bought one used, advertised as an LTT used, bought it, contacted LTT to have an RMR cut only to find out not only did Langdon not sell it, but hadn’t worked on it previously either. Guess serial numbers actually do have a use. Vendor was cool and took it back though. That set up, that’s what my ultimate goal is. Though I don’t enjoy a bobbed hammer… LTT PX4 carry optic ready is dream worthy.
Managed to snag a LTT PX4 compact for a great price point on Gunbroker one night about 6 months ago. Very impressed with the gun. Shoots fantastic and has been 100% reliable. Carry it almost every day. Thinking about sending it back to Langdon for an optic cut but would hate to be without it for so long.
I had the Beretta 45 cougar model with that rotating barrel I really liked it. It's one of several great guns I wish I hadn't sold. I would like to get the px storm 45, but buying guns isn't something I can afford anymore. But with your big hands, you aught to buy yourself a Beretta cougar. It had a pretty large grip. Thanks for another great video. The only way I get to see really great guns shot so well. 😎👍
It's definitely a weird looking gun but I own a Beretta 92G Elite LTT along with a LTT 1301 and they're phenomenal so I have no doubt this gun is the same if it has Langdon Tactical's name attached to it... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
I bought a Langdon edition and it kept jamming (not the Fiocchi ammo). I took it home, broke it down and felt around the feed ramp. It was rough and edges were not smooth. I polished the feedramp and edges with my dremel and soft tip accessories with a polishing crème (Flints or Mothers). Took it back to the range…no more jamming issues. It ran smoothly, ammo feed without any type of jams and Fiocchi went bang every time. I had serious doubts of the reliability during my first range session (and yes, I cleaned the firearm after I unboxed it). But the polishing of the feed ramp and edges resolved the issue. I’ll need to shoot it more before I give it a final reliability and trustworthy opinion (never had that issue with my Glocks, CZ’S, S&W or Springfield Armory firearms). I must add that I really like my Beretta 92fs…never had a jamming issue.
I've always liked the storm but there wasn't much of an aftermarket for it when it first came out, so then I moved on to other guns. I hope Beretta does an updated version like they did with the APX. I personally can't justify the price regardless of how much it's been upgraded.
If your looking for an exceptionally accurate DA auto with a low recoil pulse plus a six and change DA followed up with a three and change SA you might see things differently.
I bought a full size PX4 when they came out. The rotating barrel was not the first like it, but nobody I know ever saw it before. It was very soft shooting. Comfortable grip & replaceable back straps. 17 rounds. I traded it for something else. Wish I still had it. Will never sell my 92 FS.
PX4 Storm is my edc. So much for the investment. If you go straight to Langdon, it might take a while, but it will shoot groups with the best and you can still carry this open sight. Browning would be envious of the design.
If you don't want to spend 2K on this gun, you can spend around $800 and get the PX4 Storm Compact Carry, which has the LTT trigger bar, night sights, cerakote slide, stealth decocker controls, all edges smoothed out and amazing trigger. The DA on my compact carry is at about 7.5 - 8 lbs. SA is at around 3.5 - 4 lbs. Smooth DA as well. I love my PX4. Very underrated.
The Beretta factory PX4 Compact Carry is pretty sweet. The PX4 Compact Carry with either the LTT Trigger Job in a Bag installed or trigger work completed at LTT is something completely different. That's how you get the "Totally F'n Insane" trigger as described by HO in the above video.
This is the gun I regret selling the most. So accurate and soft shooting. I put a 92 F style decocker on the left side with the ball detent removed. The only thing I did not like about it was the thickness. I still miss it though.
I love the PX4 Storms! I have 2 of the PX4 Storm Compact Type G versions, one Inox Stainless and one Bruniton Black (both are non-LTT). I carry one every day. I actually don't mind the stock springs and trigger parts, so I've saved quite a bit of $$ compared to the LTT version.
Also you can get a 'D' spring (spring made for the 'D' model PX4 DAO) right from Beretta that lightens the DA trigger just a bit. It's 8 bucks or used to be. Cheapest thing you can do so might as well at least do that.
Just to be clear: I actually WANT the trigger just the way it is. I don't find that the stock DA/SA trigger hinders my ability to use the pistol and I appreciate the added safety of a long/heavy first trigger pull. Saving $$ is just icing on the cake.
@@-RM- I hear you. Safety is my top concern too, and why I'm not that interested in the competition trigger. The stock trigger is quite respectable IMO. However, I consider the long a bit more important in the long/heavy ratio, and the 'D' spring is a stock spring, albeit in the PX4 DAO. So on that reasoning, I find the shootability slightly increased by the 1st pull being just a bit lighter without decreasing safety. But to each his own.
I have the Px4 full size with LTT (trigger job in a bag, ) 12# Silicone hammer spring, stealth de-cock only, extended mag release, extended slide stop. Amazing trigger. I have hundreds and hundreds of rounds thru her. 100% reliable. Not 1 stoppage and I shoot almost exclusively handloads. It eats everything from light frangible target loads to +P. Saved a pile of money installing the parts myself. Bought mine 3 or 4 years ago new $385.00 so I only have about $650 in it with all the upgrades.
The Px4 full size has been discontinued...and I suspect they're about to release a modernized replacement as they have been with all of their pistol lines
Now that I have other 9mm carry guns, my PX4 full sized will be going to Langdon shortly for the works. Been planning on that for over a year and the time is soon! Thanks for reinforcing that decision! It is still one of the best feeling pistols I've shot.
Your channel is why i never tried reman 9mm, the squib load i saw lodge itself in a guys shadow systems 920 at a class a couple weeks ago made sure i never will. Fortunately, it wasnt seated in the barrel far enough to allow the breech to lock on the next round. It was close though, id say .050".
I’ve shot the PX4 Storm again this year (last time was around my mid 20s and 34 y/o now). All I can say is that I should’ve held it better back then. Now I’m VERY ACCURATE with this. Only thing I still don’t like about this is the long DA trigger pull and the wide grip, taking me extra time to fix my grip (at least my hands are big to the point it really isn’t difficult to grasp). I love the look of this and this is why I chose to rent it in my mid 20s.
Some are “in collaboration with” LTT and then you have actual LTT customized versions. I’m hose optic cuts, trigger job, bobbed hammer come from LTT. Not from a factory with the “LTT edition”… real LTT custom work done by LTT.
@Bruce Smith that’s actually incorrect. The “compact carry” is a marketing version slightly better than the “compact” but it’s by no means a true LTT PX4 storm. The “compact carry” is a marketing gimmick using the LTT name. It’s worlds different than a true LTT custom works firearm.
@@peterreily1490 I have the compact carry and it is an LTT. It comes with a certificate from LTT and has the competition trigger in it with the trigger bar from LTT. As well as some other features. I wouldn’t call it the premium version directly from Langdon, but it is an LTT PX4 compact carry.
I was looking for this gun for two years, right before woo-flu hit. They were nowhere to be found. Im glad theyre still around, i might have to get one as my only DA/SA gun
As an owner of a stock Full Size Px4, I love the hell out of it. After shooting the M9 and most recently the M18, comparatively, I like the Px4 the most of the three. I got mine with the .40 S&W mags and barrel, but it's the easiest thing in the world to convert down to 9mm and up to .45 ACP. I carried it as a duty pistol as a security guard in Seattle. Only compmaints I have are that the mag release is a bit small and the stock recoil spring has a polymer core. Beretta does sell a metal core version, and for a similar price, you can get multi spring recoil systems. The cool thing with the Compact and the Full Size is that you can use the barrels and mags from the Full Size with the frame and slide of the Compact. Unfortunately, the Sub Compact can't use any of the components from the larger models, as it is actually a tilt-barrel pistol. All three come as 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. I wish I could carry it for my current job, but since we work with the military at our installation, I've since switched to the M18. Also a good pistol, as stated before, I prefer the Px4.
I have tried all the new micro 9. And still carry my 10yr old px4 subcompact. It's a little different than the px4 compact with no rotating barrel but is smaller. Never had a problem with it, always reliable, and 13 Rd mag. I do wish beretta would update it with slimmer slide, grips. But it is still one the best carry guns especially if are a new shooter and don't want shoot you junk off with the da/sa hammer.
I got an LTT PX4 compact last month. I've shot a couple hundred rounds through it so far. I like it more each time I take it out. It is very smooth to manipulate, and the recoil impulse is very mild. The single action trigger is great, and the reset is spectacularly good. I would like the double action to be a bit lighter but it's ok. Only thing trigger wise I don't like is that it feels like a plastic trigger. You can feel the give in it when shooting it double action. So far it isn't the most accurate gun. The groups I get are not all that spectacular. May just need to try some other ammo. I won't fault the gun, but it wouldn't feed some Red Army ammo I have that is out of spec. It's about .002" to large at the case mouth. The gun won't go into battery with it most of the time. My CZs don't care and have no problems with it. But again, the ammo is out of spec so I can't really fault the Beretta. All in all, it is an excellent gun but so far not my very favorite. Maybe with more time it will grow more on me.
The px4 is my spirit animal. Carry a shield plus currently which is beautiful, but I’m a lefty and the complete ambidextrous double action of the px4 is everything I dream
i have three of those! without the red dot. The PX4 Compact has a dual stage recoil spring. The 9mm barrel has a 40 Cal of and a 9mm bore. The slide is a little heavier too. that’s why it doesn’t recoil. The stock PX4 Compact Carry, specked by Ernest Langdon, is stock from Beretta for about $850. But…, the guns are best bought from LTT, Ernest is the magic man when it comes to trigger work!
You should try the Grand Power X - calibur. Its a competition out of the box ready polymer with steel rail insert, rotating barrel system. As far as fit and finish goes for the price range it should be a very good candidate for your review. Keep up the good work
As always, appreciate listening/ watching your reviews, initially listened while driving, and thought something was going wrong with my truck, until you mentioned the wind 🤣
I have a full sized PX4 that I installed a Langdon trigger on, and the gun is just so easy to run. It's extremely smooth, very little recoil, and very accurate. Everyone that I allow to shoot it can't believe how great it shoots. IMHO, the PX4 is one of, if not the most underrated pistol out there. Beretta did a really crappy job of promoting it when it came out. In speaking to one of the older Beretta reps at the NRA Show, he said it was his favorite Beretta pistol, and said that he's going to acquire one or two more at his discount before he retires. You can pick up used PX4 that were police trade ins really cheap, then just add the Langdon trigger for a hell of a nice gun.
The PX4 compact is an amazing handgun. Low felt recoil, fantastic accuracy, metal magazines, easy to work on and change parts. The only downside in my book is a little more difficulty finding holsters but they are out there.
Don Hume Holsters has a number of holsters for the Px4 Storm. Don Hume’s holsters are much better and much more affordable than most of the “celebrity” brands.
$900-something. Was my dream gun, but then leaning towards the Walther PDP Pro if I can get my hands on one. Natalie of Active Self Protection Extra shoots one. A sweet gun! Get the RDO upgrade, which most modern guns now include by default
Love my P226RX and wanted a something like it in a compact carry. Quit making the P224, so I went with the CZ RAMI (Cajun Gun Works trigger and milled for my Holosun) that they quit making, so this would be my choice at this time. Cheers, Tony
I really wish Beretta would do a “A1” version of the Px4 Storm, like they did with the APX. New texture, optic cut, maybe slim down the frame… there’s room for improvement, but Beretta seems to be comfortable with letting this model ride as designed.
Haven’t shot one of these since early ‘00s and have to say it shot very nice and ergos were good. POI was a little low w/ the fixed sights as the one in the video was initially but it grouped well. Only real complaint I had was it was FAT and very few holsters around for this model. I do like that Beretta is offering something different than all the other Glockian models that nearly the entire market has become. Nice test.
Most accurate out-of-the-box 9mm I ever owned, I made 3 adjustments to my Storm compact, I added a talon grip trimmed to fit the sides of the grip (my one gripe with the gun was grip was slick), installed the match trigger, and converted it to Type G (Decocker only)...So you can imagine my reaction to Langdon releasing a compact a year later with almost all the same upgrades for less money than I spent.
Totally agree with you… I’m buy the same PX4 and doo by my self the G de cocker to the same factory level and it’s the most soft and accurate 9 mm of all my pistol out of the box..💪🏼👍🏼
Mrs O shot this gun amazingly well. It didn't recoil bear as much as other guns have when she shot them. I really think she would like this gun a bunch because of the low recoil.
Almost bought one. Only reason I didn’t is the grip is too small for what I like. Bought the full size and added all the goodies myself except I need to send it to Langdon for the optics cut
‘I’m shootin’ like s%#t today’. And that’s EXACTLY why I keep coming back for the reviews. Anyone who’s that honest deserves respect, and subs!
Been saying for years that the PX4 is the most underrated pistol on the market
That and the sig pro 2022

Amen!
I can’t afford most of these guns but I watch for the general info and to see a guy who is a true pistol marksman.
I installed the LTT trigger bar and lighter spring myself. Pretty easy, and it made a huge difference. Pretty cheap upgrade for the standard PX4.
You probably did exactly all it needed to make a better gun. A smoother trigger usually does the trick
@@izzyiz810 that and better grip texture makes it perfect to me if you don't care about optics.

Also hard to order because they're always out of stock.
I think LTT makes stuff a lot better than WC.
Depends on what your buying LTT is definitely the best beretta guys out there but Wilson make mean 1911
Watching Mrs. Outlaw handle the recoil impulse with ease is supremely compelling.
I have a PX4 Storm in .40. It has phenomenal ergonomics and is a great shooter. Another pistol success from the Italians. A worthy successor to the M51 and M92.
It's a tack driver right out of the box.

I have owned, shot and have been loving my PX4 Compact Carry, fully accessorized with LTT components, since March 2017. 11,400 live rounds and countless dry fires later and still 100% reliable and dependable. I have the LTT RDS solution, Talon Pros, a Holosun 507C mounted and carried in a Black Rhino Concealment AIWB ACS holster. It has a sweet six and change double action, and a three and change single action that is crisp with a positive short reset. The recoil effects are real from the rotating barrel design and it is significantly softer shooting than any of my other 9mm pistols in this size. From drill to drill, my personal best record is with this pistol. Once you add everything I've invested, yeah it is a little pricey, for me it has been well worth every penny.
Got one with a Holosun 509T. Literally a do-everything pistol, absolutely love it
I own and love this sexy thing! Its name is Ernie. The function, look and feel compared to the full size .45 is literally night & day. LTT customer service was outstanding. They’re enthusiasts and are very knowledgeable of their craft. If you’ve got the wallet, do yourself the favor and get something that Langdon and his crew builds. Its custom trigger & reset, sights, NP3 coated mags, trigger system and barrel are just an amazing piece of art. They build to suit. I added the laser etching on the slide, 92 de-cocker and NP3. It all adds up but if you’re gonna buy a Ferrari, get one that is badass! They build other manufactures also and this will not be my last LTT.
I own a Langdon Beretta 92 and I love that thing. Looks like I`ll have to save up and own the PX4 as well.
The PX4 has been my EDC for years. Love it.
Totally agree with the quality and under rate of this pistol … I’m buy the PX4 compact and do by my self the G de cocker to the same factory level , put rober tallongrip and it’s the most soft and accurate 9 mm of all my pistol out of the box..💪🏼👍🏼
The most underrated pistol on the market, IMHO. I have two, and love both of 'em.
That looney-toons ricochet at 5:55
I had a Cougar back in the 90s; I absolutely loved the pistol.
I have the LTT PX4 full size and compact and I absolutely love them both!
PX4 compact is still my carry since my last post. Still love it. Got one of the beretta mag extensions and put it on a 15 rd mag. So side note for people about PX4 the compacts and full size use different mags, but the mags will all work in the compact. but the 17rd mags leave a gap. they make extensions for 17 to 20rd. so put one on your 15 and you got a flush extended mag. so my compact carrys 18+1 . The two carry guns I have left after trying glocks, sigs, smiths, taurus, and others the two guns I carry are a PX4 or my Jericho 2, I am just a DA/SA guy.
So glad you’ve been doing videos with the PX4 series. They are severely underrated and unnoticed. I carry the compact carry everyday! I’m wholly convinced it’s just a matter of marketing. (Also Walther makes amazing pistols too, they just don’t market well).
Add the Styer A2 to that list of great pistols that are shockingly under marketed.
@@22leggedsasquatch absolutely!
GREAT REVIEW! I look forward to your 1,000 round discussion next :) Curious... Were you aware that Langdon performed a 50,000 round endurance test of his PX4 - SUPER IMPRESSIVE STUFF! The PX4 is a criminally underrated pistol!
I think it's so cool how you edit in the "ting" noises in from 75 and beyond. At least that's what I tell myself to feel better about my own shooting. Keep the videos coming, you're easily the most enjoyable "reviewer"/"shooter" to watch.
That is one beautiful looking gun. The Italians really know how to make everything look amazing. I tend to prefer striker fired over hammer for concealed carry, but I really hope this gun does well, it is seriously one of the most underrated guns out there.
It gets the Mrs. Outlaw seal of approval. Priceless! Great shooting as,always.
I own 10 pistols but I always come back to my Langdon PX4 Compact.
That, that’s my dream EDC.
Bought one used, advertised as an LTT used, bought it, contacted LTT to have an RMR cut only to find out not only did Langdon not sell it, but hadn’t worked on it previously either. Guess serial numbers actually do have a use.
Vendor was cool and took it back though. That set up, that’s what my ultimate goal is. Though I don’t enjoy a bobbed hammer… LTT PX4 carry optic ready is dream worthy.
Just got a langdon tactical px4 compact. Ran 509 rounds no hiccups. My best shooting hand gun but not the most expensive says alot.
Managed to snag a LTT PX4 compact for a great price point on Gunbroker one night about 6 months ago. Very impressed with the gun. Shoots fantastic and has been 100% reliable. Carry it almost every day. Thinking about sending it back to Langdon for an optic cut but would hate to be without it for so long.
I had the Beretta 45 cougar model with that rotating barrel I really liked it. It's one of several great guns I wish I hadn't sold. I would like to get the px storm 45, but buying guns isn't something I can afford anymore.
But with your big hands, you aught to buy yourself a Beretta cougar. It had a pretty large grip.
Thanks for another great video. The only way I get to see really great guns shot so well. 😎👍
It's definitely a weird looking gun but I own a Beretta 92G Elite LTT along with a LTT 1301 and they're phenomenal so I have no doubt this gun is the same if it has Langdon Tactical's name attached to it... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
I bought a Langdon edition and it kept jamming (not the Fiocchi ammo). I took it home, broke it down and felt around the feed ramp. It was rough and edges were not smooth. I polished the feedramp and edges with my dremel and soft tip accessories with a polishing crème (Flints or Mothers). Took it back to the range…no more jamming issues. It ran smoothly, ammo feed without any type of jams and Fiocchi went bang every time. I had serious doubts of the reliability during my first range session (and yes, I cleaned the firearm after I unboxed it). But the polishing of the feed ramp and edges resolved the issue. I’ll need to shoot it more before I give it a final reliability and trustworthy opinion (never had that issue with my Glocks, CZ’S, S&W or Springfield Armory firearms). I must add that I really like my Beretta 92fs…never had a jamming issue.
I have two Px4s in .40, buy every one I see used, great value and very accurate, way underrated.

Love the storm ! Honest outlaw best reviewer on web , more good ones but Honest Outlaw def my favorite
I say you should do another Review to truly show how amazing this gun is. On a day when the weather is much better.
As far as the audio is concerned, the mic(s) worked great! For the amount of wind there was, there wasn't any "wind in the mic" noise. 👍👍
I've always liked the storm but there wasn't much of an aftermarket for it when it first came out, so then I moved on to other guns. I hope Beretta does an updated version like they did with the APX. I personally can't justify the price regardless of how much it's been upgraded.
if you buy the parts and assemble your weapon it will be much cheaper than if you buy it already with all the upgrades
If your looking for an exceptionally accurate DA auto with a low recoil pulse plus a six and change DA followed up with a three and change SA you might see things differently.
You can get the compact carry brand new for about $800
I bought a full size PX4 when they came out. The rotating barrel was not the first like it, but nobody I know ever saw it before. It was very soft shooting. Comfortable grip & replaceable back straps. 17 rounds. I traded it for something else. Wish I still had it. Will never sell my 92 FS.
PX4 Storm is my edc. So much for the investment. If you go straight to Langdon, it might take a while, but it will shoot groups with the best and you can still carry this open sight. Browning would be envious of the design.
If you don't want to spend 2K on this gun, you can spend around $800 and get the PX4 Storm Compact Carry, which has the LTT trigger bar, night sights, cerakote slide, stealth decocker controls, all edges smoothed out and amazing trigger. The DA on my compact carry is at about 7.5 - 8 lbs. SA is at around 3.5 - 4 lbs. Smooth DA as well. I love my PX4. Very underrated.
The Beretta factory PX4 Compact Carry is pretty sweet. The PX4 Compact Carry with either the LTT Trigger Job in a Bag installed or trigger work completed at LTT is something completely different. That's how you get the "Totally F'n Insane" trigger as described by HO in the above video.
What’s the difference between the factory you mentioned and the Langfo
This is the gun I regret selling the most. So accurate and soft shooting. I put a 92 F style decocker on the left side with the ball detent removed. The only thing I did not like about it was the thickness. I still miss it though.
I love the PX4 Storms! I have 2 of the PX4 Storm Compact Type G versions, one Inox Stainless and one Bruniton Black (both are non-LTT). I carry one every day. I actually don't mind the stock springs and trigger parts, so I've saved quite a bit of $$ compared to the LTT version.
Just the trigger job and a spring are around $150 and make a huge difference
Also you can get a 'D' spring (spring made for the 'D' model PX4 DAO) right from Beretta that lightens the DA trigger just a bit. It's 8 bucks or used to be. Cheapest thing you can do so might as well at least do that.
Just to be clear: I actually WANT the trigger just the way it is. I don't find that the stock DA/SA trigger hinders my ability to use the pistol and I appreciate the added safety of a long/heavy first trigger pull. Saving $$ is just icing on the cake.
@@-RM- I hear you. Safety is my top concern too, and why I'm not that interested in the competition trigger. The stock trigger is quite respectable IMO. However, I consider the long a bit more important in the long/heavy ratio, and the 'D' spring is a stock spring, albeit in the PX4 DAO. So on that reasoning, I find the shootability slightly increased by the 1st pull being just a bit lighter without decreasing safety. But to each his own.
I have the Px4 full size with LTT (trigger job in a bag, ) 12# Silicone hammer spring, stealth de-cock only, extended mag release, extended slide stop. Amazing trigger. I have hundreds and hundreds of rounds thru her. 100% reliable. Not 1 stoppage and I shoot almost exclusively handloads. It eats everything from light frangible target loads to +P. Saved a pile of money installing the parts myself. Bought mine 3 or 4 years ago new $385.00 so I only have about $650 in it with all the upgrades.
1000 round review?
I really like that offering, but I wish Beretta would offer a version 2.0. Langdon's updates definitely raise the bar.
It’s not practical to try and make every pistol over the top custom and polished. The pistol would cost 1500 because it would be labor intensive
The Px4 full size has been discontinued...and I suspect they're about to release a modernized replacement as they have been with all of their pistol lines
Agreed. A PX4 Storm that comes optics ready with better grip texture would be amazing. Getting the slide cut from Langdon is so expensive.
@@alexglenn2122 source for it being discontinued?
Foreal, this in a slimmer frame and optics ready would be perfect
Got mine in 40sw. Its a great shooter
I love my full sized PX4 in .40 with my 14rnd mags. Wish I could get a MRD on it but as is I've enjoyed it for the last 3 years.
Now that I have other 9mm carry guns, my PX4 full sized will be going to Langdon shortly for the works. Been planning on that for over a year and the time is soon! Thanks for reinforcing that decision! It is still one of the best feeling pistols I've shot.

Your channel is why i never tried reman 9mm, the squib load i saw lodge itself in a guys shadow systems 920 at a class a couple weeks ago made sure i never will. Fortunately, it wasnt seated in the barrel far enough to allow the breech to lock on the next round. It was close though, id say .050".

I’ve shot the PX4 Storm again this year (last time was around my mid 20s and 34 y/o now). All I can say is that I should’ve held it better back then. Now I’m VERY ACCURATE with this. Only thing I still don’t like about this is the long DA trigger pull and the wide grip, taking me extra time to fix my grip (at least my hands are big to the point it really isn’t difficult to grasp). I love the look of this and this is why I chose to rent it in my mid 20s.
Such an Underrated Gun, I believe the "Compact Carry" Model is Beretta's version of LTT or somewhat close to it but much cheaper. I could be wrong.
The compact is Beretta’s version the compact carry is the LTT version
Some are “in collaboration with” LTT and then you have actual LTT customized versions. I’m hose optic cuts, trigger job, bobbed hammer come from LTT. Not from a factory with the “LTT edition”… real LTT custom work done by LTT.
@Bruce Smith that’s actually incorrect. The “compact carry” is a marketing version slightly better than the “compact” but it’s by no means a true LTT PX4 storm. The “compact carry” is a marketing gimmick using the LTT name. It’s worlds different than a true LTT custom works firearm.
@@peterreily1490 I’ve got two of them custom ordered from Langdon
@@peterreily1490 I have the compact carry and it is an LTT. It comes with a certificate from LTT and has the competition trigger in it with the trigger bar from LTT. As well as some other features. I wouldn’t call it the premium version directly from Langdon, but it is an LTT PX4 compact carry.
Man, NE weather been tripping this year too. Good vid, sending love to yall from the other side of river 🤙
Honestly this was my first gun, i didnt like it at first but when i started using it i fell inlove with it
I was looking for this gun for two years, right before woo-flu hit. They were nowhere to be found. Im glad theyre still around, i might have to get one as my only DA/SA gun
Do a comparison video between the PX4 and the P07 I've always thought of those guns as being the underrated guns and they're also kind of similar
As an owner of a stock Full Size Px4, I love the hell out of it. After shooting the M9 and most recently the M18, comparatively, I like the Px4 the most of the three. I got mine with the .40 S&W mags and barrel, but it's the easiest thing in the world to convert down to 9mm and up to .45 ACP. I carried it as a duty pistol as a security guard in Seattle. Only compmaints I have are that the mag release is a bit small and the stock recoil spring has a polymer core. Beretta does sell a metal core version, and for a similar price, you can get multi spring recoil systems. The cool thing with the Compact and the Full Size is that you can use the barrels and mags from the Full Size with the frame and slide of the Compact.
Unfortunately, the Sub Compact can't use any of the components from the larger models, as it is actually a tilt-barrel pistol. All three come as 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.
I wish I could carry it for my current job, but since we work with the military at our installation, I've since switched to the M18. Also a good pistol, as stated before, I prefer the Px4.

I have tried all the new micro 9. And still carry my 10yr old px4 subcompact. It's a little different than the px4 compact with no rotating barrel but is smaller. Never had a problem with it, always reliable, and 13 Rd mag. I do wish beretta would update it with slimmer slide, grips. But it is still one the best carry guns especially if are a new shooter and don't want shoot you junk off with the da/sa hammer.
I got an LTT PX4 compact last month. I've shot a couple hundred rounds through it so far. I like it more each time I take it out. It is very smooth to manipulate, and the recoil impulse is very mild. The single action trigger is great, and the reset is spectacularly good. I would like the double action to be a bit lighter but it's ok. Only thing trigger wise I don't like is that it feels like a plastic trigger. You can feel the give in it when shooting it double action. So far it isn't the most accurate gun. The groups I get are not all that spectacular. May just need to try some other ammo. I won't fault the gun, but it wouldn't feed some Red Army ammo I have that is out of spec. It's about .002" to large at the case mouth. The gun won't go into battery with it most of the time. My CZs don't care and have no problems with it. But again, the ammo is out of spec so I can't really fault the Beretta. All in all, it is an excellent gun but so far not my very favorite. Maybe with more time it will grow more on me.
I love both of mine. Never had any issues. Trigger job in bag very worth it..
Happy Anniversary! It our 9th next week too.
The px4 is my spirit animal. Carry a shield plus currently which is beautiful, but I’m a lefty and the complete ambidextrous double action of the px4 is everything I dream
i have three of those! without the red dot.
The PX4 Compact has a dual stage recoil spring. The 9mm barrel has a 40 Cal of and a 9mm bore. The slide is a little heavier too. that’s why it doesn’t recoil.
The stock PX4 Compact Carry, specked by Ernest Langdon, is stock from Beretta for about $850.
But…, the guns are best bought from LTT, Ernest is the magic man when it comes to trigger work!
Great shooting with that wind! I love my PX4 Full size. Probably my favorite 9mm gun.
Great Video!! Dont apologize for the wind you summoned the PX4 Storm___
You should try the Grand Power X - calibur. Its a competition out of the box ready polymer with steel rail insert, rotating barrel system. As far as fit and finish goes for the price range it should be a very good candidate for your review. Keep up the good work
Happy Anniversary! (I think.) Thanks for the video!
2022 year of the storm comeback
As always, appreciate listening/ watching your reviews, initially listened while driving, and thought something was going wrong with my truck, until you mentioned the wind 🤣

I have a full sized PX4 that I installed a Langdon trigger on, and the gun is just so easy to run. It's extremely smooth, very little recoil, and very accurate. Everyone that I allow to shoot it can't believe how great it shoots. IMHO, the PX4 is one of, if not the most underrated pistol out there. Beretta did a really crappy job of promoting it when it came out. In speaking to one of the older Beretta reps at the NRA Show, he said it was his favorite Beretta pistol, and said that he's going to acquire one or two more at his discount before he retires. You can pick up used PX4 that were police trade ins really cheap, then just add the Langdon trigger for a hell of a nice gun.
The PX4 compact is an amazing handgun. Low felt recoil, fantastic accuracy, metal magazines, easy to work on and change parts. The only downside in my book is a little more difficulty finding holsters but they are out there.
check out alien gear; fits mine perfectly.
Don Hume Holsters has a number of holsters for the Px4 Storm. Don Hume’s holsters are much better and much more affordable than most of the “celebrity” brands.
I own a PX4 compact but not tweaked out by Langdon tactical. I like it a lot.
Dude, this gun f4cks. Took a while to find mine... It's a favorite for sure.
$900-something. Was my dream gun, but then leaning towards the Walther PDP Pro if I can get my hands on one. Natalie of Active Self Protection Extra shoots one. A sweet gun! Get the RDO upgrade, which most modern guns now include by default
Well, looking forward to the final review.
Love my P226RX and wanted a something like it in a compact carry. Quit making the P224, so I went with the CZ RAMI (Cajun Gun Works trigger and milled for my Holosun) that they quit making, so this would be my choice at this time.
Cheers, Tony
I’ve never seen a rotating barrel system. Learn something new every day.
I've had mine for about eight years. Never a problem. It's been really good to me.
Check out the mechanism on the B&T TP9. It's super interesting.
I really like the full size version of this. And it's almost the same size as my Glock 19. Can pretty easily conceal carry it.
I really wish Beretta would do a “A1” version of the Px4 Storm, like they did with the APX. New texture, optic cut, maybe slim down the frame… there’s room for improvement, but Beretta seems to be comfortable with letting this model ride as designed.
An aluminum frame version would be neat
Haven’t shot one of these since early ‘00s and have to say it shot very nice and ergos were good. POI was a little low w/ the fixed sights as the one in the video was initially but it grouped well. Only real complaint I had was it was FAT and very few holsters around for this model. I do like that Beretta is offering something different than all the other Glockian models that nearly the entire market has become. Nice test.
Most accurate out-of-the-box 9mm I ever owned, I made 3 adjustments to my Storm compact, I added a talon grip trimmed to fit the sides of the grip (my one gripe with the gun was grip was slick), installed the match trigger, and converted it to Type G (Decocker only)...So you can imagine my reaction to Langdon releasing a compact a year later with almost all the same upgrades for less money than I spent.
Totally agree with you… I’m buy the same PX4 and doo by my self the G de cocker to the same factory level and it’s the most soft and accurate 9 mm of all my pistol out of the box..💪🏼👍🏼
Get the optimized trigger bar for $70
Yep, I EDC the compact, I also have the full size from LTT as my GTW
Love the gun. Understand the cost of the gun. But out of my price range right now. Thanks outlaw for letting us live through you. Lol
Mrs O shot this gun amazingly well. It didn't recoil bear as much as other guns have when she shot them. I really think she would like this gun a bunch because of the low recoil.
Almost bought one. Only reason I didn’t is the grip is too small for what I like. Bought the full size and added all the goodies myself except I need to send it to Langdon for the optics cut
