The '''Beretta Px4 Storm''' is a [[semi-automatic pistol]] manufactured by the Italian firearm manufacturer [[Beretta]] and intended for personal defense and law enforcement use. The Px4 uses the same short-recoil, rotating barrel action as the [[Beretta 8000]] and uses the same trigger and safety system as the [[Beretta 92]], while being completely different in design from either.
The '''[[Beretta]] Px4 Storm''' is a [[semi-automatic pistol]] intended for personal defense and law enforcement use. It is available in full size, Compact, and Subcompact versions. The Px4 uses a trigger and safety system similar to the [[Beretta 92]] and the [[Beretta 8000]] series, though it is distinguished from its predecessors by its light-weight [[polymer]] construction with steel inserts, standard [[Picatinny rail]], and swappable grip backstraps. The full size and Compact versions use the same short-recoil, rotating barrel action as the [[Beretta 8000]] series, whereas the Subcompact uses the tilt barrel system.

Light-weight [[polymer]] construction with steel inserts, a modular trigger group, fully enclosing slide, [[Picatinny rail]], and changeable backstrap options for the grip are a radical departure from previous Beretta designs.

[[Image:Beretta PX4 Storm rotating barrel lock.JPG|thumb|right|Close-up of the rotary barrel locking mechanism.]]
[[Image:Beretta PX4 Storm rotating barrel lock.JPG|thumb|right|Close-up of the rotary barrel locking mechanism.]]


Unlike the Beretta 92FS/96FS/M9/M9A1 and the 8000 series pistols, the Px4's trigger guard is rounded rather than squared. The polymer guide rod has a captive slide spring.
Unlike the later generation Beretta 92/96/M9 series, the Px4's trigger guard is rounded for better [[concealed carry]]. The takedown pin of earlier models is replaced by a spring-loaded bar, accessed via frame recesses on both sides, which must be grasped and pulled down simultaneously to release the slide. The slide spring is doubly captive, being inserted approximately an inch into the transfer block at one end and a receiving hole in the front of the slide at the other. It is a self-contained assembly, completely captured by the polymer guide.


The full size and Compact versions have a spring-loaded disassembly bar, accessed via recesses on both sides of the frame, which must be grasped and pulled down to release the slide. This is different from the rotating takedown pin of Beretta's previous hammer-fired pistols, which the Px4 Subcompact retains.
⚫
The [[magazine (firearms)|magazine]] holds the top round directly behind the barrel's breech end so only a slight feed ramp is needed. This allows the barrel to fully support the case. The 6-R [[rifling]] of the barrel generates counter-clockwise torque which is harnessed by the locking system to reduce the amount of pressure required from the rotating barrel lock's cam and pin system to affect unlocking. The steel transfer block's cam pin is 5&nbsp;mm wide and 2&nbsp;mm deep. The entire hammer unit mechanism can be removed from the Px4, without the use of special tools, as a single group. This allows easy access to the firing mechanism for cleaning.

The Px4's design makes it impossible to assemble incorrectly from a field-stripped takedown.

Beretta designed the Px4 so that it would be difficult to re-assemble incorrectly after a field strip.


The Px4 originally featured an interchangeable, luminescent [[3-dot sight]] system (coated in [[Super-LumiNova]]) for use in dark or low-light situations. With short exposure to any kind of light, the night sights' luminescence lasted up to 30 minutes.

Beretta discontinued the luminescent 3-dot nights sights for the Px4 in 2010, replacing them with standard 3-dot sights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.berettausa.com/products/px4-storm-full-size-9mm/|title=Px4 Storm Full|access-date=25 December 2014}}</ref>

The weapon also incorporates a [[Picatinny rail]] under the muzzle to allow flashlights, [[laser sight]]s, and other accessories to be attached.
The full size (including the Px4 .45 ACP) and Compact versions are manufactured in Italy. The Px4 Subcompact is manufactured in the United States.


===Modular parts===
===Modular parts===
To aid the versatility of the Px4, a number of parts were designed to be [[Modular design|modular]]. These parts include the backstrap, the magazine release button, the slide catch and the hammer unit mechanism. The backstrap is available in three sizes: slim, standard and oversized. The magazine release button can be mounted on either side of the weapon and replaced by one of three types: standard, large or combat (extended). The standard slide catch can be replaced with a slimmer version to avoid snagging when the weapon is drawn quickly from a holster.

==Models==
== Px4 Full Size==
The Px4 is available in four models:
The Px4 full size was the first version available in 2004. Officially, it was offered in four different models:


⚫
* '''Type C''': So-called to be [[Single-action]]-only ("Constant Action" - hammer is in half-cocked position). Spurless hammer. No [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|decocker]]. No [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
⚫
* '''Type D''': [[Double-action]]-only. Spurless hammer. No [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|decocker]]. No [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
* '''Type F''': Single and double-action. [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|Decocker]]. Manual [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
* '''Type F''': Single and double-action. [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|Decocker]]. Manual [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
* '''Type G''': Single and double-action. [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|Decocker]]. No manual [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
* '''Type G''': Single and double-action. [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|Decocker]]. No manual [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
⚫
* '''Type C''': [[Single-action]]-only ("Constant Action" - hammer is in half-cocked position). Spurless hammer. No [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|decocker]]. No [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].
⚫
* '''Type D''': [[Double-action]]-only. Spurless hammer. No [[Safety (firearms)#Decocker|decocker]]. No [[Safety (firearm)|safety]].


However, the Type C and Type D models were usually sold to law enforcement agencies. Type F pistols can be converted into Type G pistols by removing a ball bearing in the safety/decocker unit or by changing the entire safety/decocker unit, depending on user preferences.
⚫
==Px4 Subcompact==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:PX4SC.jpg|thumb|right]] -->
⚫
The '''Px4 Storm Subcompact''' is a compact Px4 chambered in [[9×19mm]] and [[.40 S&W]]. It has a [[Trigger (firearms)#Double action/Single action (DA/SA)|DA/SA]] trigger. The Px4 Subcompact uses a tilt barrel system. It is intended for personal defense and law enforcement use with a focus on concealed carry.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2008/05/29/beretta-delivering-px4-storm-sub-compact-pistol-on-june-1/ |title= Beretta Px4 Storm Subcompact Pistol|date= March 2008}}</ref>


Occasionally, Beretta offers the Px4 full size with an INOX (stainless) slide.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-review-beretta-px4-storm-inox-9mm/ | title=Gun Review: Beretta PX4 Storm Inox &#91;Updated 2018&#93; | date=17 June 2014 }}</ref>
Beretta is marketing the Px4 Subcompact as the most advanced subcompact sidearm in existence. It is lightweight and small. The barrel is stainless steel, to help prevent corrosion from perspiration. The magazine release button is both changeable and reversible. Finally, Beretta's patented SnapGrip Magazine Extender extends the grip size down for a more secure grip.


⚫
== Px4 Subcompact ==
A high magazine capacity is available, along with a magazine adapter to extend the grip to accommodate the full size magazine increasing capacity to 17 or 20 rounds in 9&nbsp;mm, and 14 or 17 rounds in .40 S&W. The Beretta Px4 Sub Compact Magazine Adapter adapts the full size Px4 magazine for use in Px4 Subcompact pistol.<ref>{{cite web|title=Beretta Px4 Sub Compact Magazine Adapter Black|url=http://www.berettausa.com/products/beretta-px4-sub-compact-magazine-adapter-black/|publisher=Beretta USA}}</ref>
⚫
The Px4 Storm Subcompact was released in 2008, initially in [[9x19mm]] and later in [[.40 S&W]]. It has a [[Trigger (firearms)#Double action/Single action (DA/SA)|DA/SA]] trigger. The stainless steel barrel is resistant to corrosion from moisture. It is intended for personal defense and law enforcement use with a focus on concealed carry.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2008/03/01/beretta-px4-storm-sub-compact/ | title=Beretta Px4 Storm Sub-Compact Pistol &#124; GHG | date=March 2008 }}</ref>

The Px4 Subcompact is basically an updated version of the Beretta 9000. The two pistols even use the same recoil spring guide rod. Like the 9000S but unlike the Px4 full size and Compact, Px4 Subcompact uses a tilt barrel system and a rotating takedown pin. Also like the 9000S, magazines are available with the SnapGrip Extender base plate, which creates a longer grip profile.

Although the Subcompact is different from the larger versions in terms of its operation, it shares some interchangeable parts with the full size and the Compact, such as the safety levers, trigger, and magazine release buttons. Also, the Subcompact can use the longer magazines from the full size and Compact versions, and Beretta sells a magazine sleeve for the full size's 17-round magazine that basically extends the Subcompact's grip.

The Subcompact model has been discontinued as of 2023.


==Px4 Compact==
==Px4 Compact==
=== Standard Version ===
The '''Px4 Storm Compact''' is sized between the Full Size and the Subcompact models. It adopts the rotating barrel design of the full size pistols, but with a shorter and proportioned slide and grip. This model also introduces an ambidextrous slide stop lever. A high magazine capacity is maintained, with 15 rounds in 9&nbsp;mm and 12 rounds in .40 S&W. The Px4 Storm Compact models accept the full size magazines as well, increasing capacity to 17 or 20 rounds in 9&nbsp;mm and 14 or 17 rounds in .40 S&W.
The Px4 Storm Compact was released in 2011; it is sized between the full size and the Subcompact models. It uses the rotating barrel design of the full size pistols but has a shorter slide and grip.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://hipstertactical.com/blog/beretta-px4-compact-review-the-reality-check-pistol | title=Beretta PX4 Compact Review: The Reality-Check Pistol }}</ref> The Px4 Compact has a block adaptor assembly due to the shorter barrel length and the rotating barrel design.

This version also has an ambidextrous slide stop lever. The Px4 Compact's magazines have orange followers to help users identify empty magazines in low visibility situations. The Px4 Compact can accept full size magazines.


Occasionally, Beretta offers the Px4 Compact with an INOX (stainless) slide.

In January 2016,<ref>{{cite web|title=Personaldefenseworld.com|url=http://www.personaldefenseworld.com/2016/01/new-for-2016-berettas-9mm-px4-compact-carry/#beretta-px4-compact-carry-2|date=2016}}</ref> in collaboration with Ernest Langdon of Langdon Tactical,<ref>{{Cite web|title=PX4 Compact Carry with LTT Trigger Job|url=https://www.langdontactical.com/px4-compact-carry-with-ltt-trigger-job/|access-date=2021-06-29|website=Langdon Tactical|language=en}}</ref> Beretta announced the '''Px4 Compact Carry''', an optimized version of the Px4 Compact meant specifically for concealed carry. It is a Type G (has a low profile decocker) available only in 9x19mm, includes a larger magazine release button, uses the improved Beretta plated competition hammer group for an improved, lighter trigger pull, a thinner slide with a Sniper Grey Cerakote coating (different from regular Compact model), an Ameriglo high-visibility orange tritium front sight and black rear notch sights for fast target acquisition, and includes a Talon grip wrap for improved grip texture and handling. It also comes with a total of three 15-round magazines. It was delayed from its original release date due to supply issues with the sights, and was released at the beginning of 2017.

{{main|Joint Combat Pistol}}
The Px4 is available in [[.45 ACP]] designated as the Px4 Storm SD (Special Duty). Notable differences between the standard .45 ACP and the Special Duty are the desert tan frame color, [[Physical vapor deposition|PVD]] coated magazines and internal firing control assembly, double recoil spring, specially roll marked slide and a longer barrel to facilitate the use of a [[suppressor]]. The PVD coated magazines (one 9- and two 10-round magazines come with the package) are not scheduled to be imported and there will only be one production run of the Px4SD. Supplies are limited. Initial photos show the barrel with a silver proprietary coating but the production models have a black finished barrel. Also, pistol tags indicate that superluminova sight paint is standard but Beretta USA discontinued use of the paint in 2009 so the Px4SD will have standard white 3-dot sights. The special Pelican case contains oil, cleaning kit, three magazines, pistol, all three back straps, all three magazine buttons, manual, warranty card and two foam dividers.


⚫
== Px4 .45 ACP==
Prices for this pistol are ranging from $750 to $1200 new.
The Px4 [[.45 ACP]] was released in 2008 and is available only as a "full size" pistol. It has a reinforced body and is slightly larger than the 9mm / .40 S&W full size pistols to handle the higher ballistic power of the .45 ACP cartridge. The .45 ACP version was Beretta's entry in U.S. military's [[Joint Combat Pistol]] program.


The Px4 .45 ACP is available as a standard black model and as a Special Duty model with desert tan frame color, [[Physical vapor deposition|PVD]] coated magazines and internal firing control assembly, double recoil spring, and a longer barrel that extends beyond the slide. The Special Duty model comes in a custom case with lubricating oil, cleaning kit, three magazines, three back straps, three magazine buttons, and user manual.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZefTLDEbViI&ab_channel=TheTexasGunVault | title=Unboxing: Beretta PX4 Storm Special Duty | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref>
==Project Allegiance==
Announced in late 2007, Project Allegiance has Beretta USA paying a $10,000 death benefit for any law enforcement officer who participates in the program. "Participate" means purchasing a Px4, and registering with the program. It is good for three years after the purchase. Beretta is also offering free counseling, legal, and financial advice to the survivors of the officer who is killed in the line of duty as part of the program.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bluesheepdog.com/2007/10/16/beretta-launches-project-allegiance-to-provide-line-of-duty-death-benefit-for-police-officers/ |title=Beretta Launches Project Allegiance to Benefit Police Officers |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723182243/http://www.bluesheepdog.com/2007/10/16/beretta-launches-project-allegiance-to-provide-line-of-duty-death-benefit-for-police-officers/ |archive-date=2008-07-23 }}</ref>

The Beretta Px4 Storm is a semi-automatic pistol intended for personal defense and law enforcement use. It is available in full size, Compact, and Subcompact versions. The Px4 uses a trigger and safety system similar to the Beretta 92 and the Beretta 8000 series, though it is distinguished from its predecessors by its light-weight polymer construction with steel inserts, standard Picatinny rail, and swappable grip backstraps. The full size and Compact versions use the same short-recoil, rotating barrel action as the Beretta 8000 series, whereas the Subcompact uses the tilt barrel system.

Design details[edit]

Field stripped Px4 Storm full size
Close-up of the rotary barrel locking mechanism.

Unlike the Beretta 92FS/96FS/M9/M9A1 and the 8000 series pistols, the Px4's trigger guard is rounded rather than squared. The polymer guide rod has a captive slide spring.

The full size and Compact versions have a spring-loaded disassembly bar, accessed via recesses on both sides of the frame, which must be grasped and pulled down to release the slide. This is different from the rotating takedown pin of Beretta's previous hammer-fired pistols, which the Px4 Subcompact retains.

The magazine holds the top round directly behind the barrel's breech end so only a slight feed ramp is needed. This allows the barrel to fully support the case. The 6-R rifling of the barrel generates counter-clockwise torque which is harnessed by the locking system to reduce the amount of pressure required from the rotating barrel lock's cam and pin system to affect unlocking. The steel transfer block's cam pin is 5 mm wide and 2 mm deep. The entire hammer unit mechanism can be removed from the Px4 as a single group. This allows easy access to the firing mechanism for cleaning.

Beretta designed the Px4 so that it would be difficult to re-assemble incorrectly after a field strip.

The Px4 originally featured an interchangeable, luminescent 3-dot sight system (coated in Super-LumiNova) for use in dark or low-light situations. With short exposure to any kind of light, the night sights' luminescence lasted up to 30 minutes.

Beretta discontinued the luminescent 3-dot nights sights for the Px4 in 2010, replacing them with standard 3-dot sights.[2] The weapon also incorporates a Picatinny rail under the muzzle to allow flashlights, laser sights, and other accessories to be attached.

The full size (including the Px4 .45 ACP) and Compact versions are manufactured in Italy. The Px4 Subcompact is manufactured in the United States.

Modular parts[edit]

Several parts were designed to be modular for ease of customization. These parts include the backstrap, the magazine release button, the slide catch, the safety/decocker levers, and the hammer unit mechanism. The backstrap is available in three sizes: slim, standard and oversized. The magazine release button can be mounted on either side of the weapon and replaced by one of three types: standard, large or combat (extended). The standard slide catch and the safety/decocker levers can be replaced with slimmer versions to avoid snagging when the weapon is drawn quickly from a holster.

Px4 Full Size[edit]

The Px4 full size was the first version available in 2004. Officially, it was offered in four different models:

However, the Type C and Type D models were usually sold to law enforcement agencies. Type F pistols can be converted into Type G pistols by removing a ball bearing in the safety/decocker unit or by changing the entire safety/decocker unit, depending on user preferences.

Occasionally, Beretta offers the Px4 full size with an INOX (stainless) slide.[3]

Px4 Subcompact[edit]

The Px4 Storm Subcompact was released in 2008, initially in 9x19mm and later in .40 S&W. It has a DA/SA trigger. The stainless steel barrel is resistant to corrosion from moisture. It is intended for personal defense and law enforcement use with a focus on concealed carry.[4]

The Px4 Subcompact is basically an updated version of the Beretta 9000. The two pistols even use the same recoil spring guide rod. Like the 9000S but unlike the Px4 full size and Compact, Px4 Subcompact uses a tilt barrel system and a rotating takedown pin. Also like the 9000S, magazines are available with the SnapGrip Extender base plate, which creates a longer grip profile.

Although the Subcompact is different from the larger versions in terms of its operation, it shares some interchangeable parts with the full size and the Compact, such as the safety levers, trigger, and magazine release buttons. Also, the Subcompact can use the longer magazines from the full size and Compact versions, and Beretta sells a magazine sleeve for the full size's 17-round magazine that basically extends the Subcompact's grip.

The Subcompact model has been discontinued as of 2023.

Px4 Compact[edit]

Standard Version[edit]

The Px4 Storm Compact was released in 2011; it is sized between the full size and the Subcompact models. It uses the rotating barrel design of the full size pistols but has a shorter slide and grip.[5] The Px4 Compact has a block adaptor assembly due to the shorter barrel length and the rotating barrel design.

This version also has an ambidextrous slide stop lever. The Px4 Compact's magazines have orange followers to help users identify empty magazines in low visibility situations. The Px4 Compact can accept full size magazines.

Occasionally, Beretta offers the Px4 Compact with an INOX (stainless) slide.

Px4 Compact Carry[edit]

In January 2016, Beretta announced the Px4 Compact Carry, an optimized version of the Px4 Compact meant specifically for concealed carry. The version is a collaboration with Ernest Langdon (Langdon Tactical).[6][7] The Px4 Compact Carry is a Type G model (with low profile decocker levers) available only in 9x19mm, includes a larger magazine release button, uses the improved Beretta plated competition hammer group for an improved, lighter trigger pull, a thinner slide with a Sniper Grey Cerakote coating (different from regular Compact model), an Ameriglo high-visibility orange tritium front sight and black rear notch sights for fast target acquisition, and includes a Talon grip wrap for improved grip texture and handling. It also comes with a total of three 15-round magazines. It was delayed from its original release date due to supply issues with the sights and was released at the beginning of 2017.

Px4 .45 ACP[edit]

The Px4 .45 ACP was released in 2008 and is available only as a "full size" pistol. It has a reinforced body and is slightly larger than the 9mm / .40 S&W full size pistols to handle the higher ballistic power of the .45 ACP cartridge. The .45 ACP version was Beretta's entry in U.S. military's Joint Combat Pistol program.

The Px4 .45 ACP is available as a standard black model and as a Special Duty model with desert tan frame color, PVD coated magazines and internal firing control assembly, double recoil spring, and a longer barrel that extends beyond the slide. The Special Duty model comes in a custom case with lubricating oil, cleaning kit, three magazines, three back straps, three magazine buttons, and user manual.[8]
