Title: Extended magazines?
Post by: Lucas on March 28, 2008, 11:12:01 PM
I am looking for an extended magazine for a Beretta .40 PX4 Storm,  it doesnt seem as they make one.  Big suprise!!!  So I guess I am asking if anyone has ever heard about someone that makes custom magazines?  I know they wont be cheap,  but I dont care,  I want more ammo  ;D  I know that Ive seen them for the model 92  somewhere.

Well any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance folks :)

Not like you have ever needed to but once again you have proven yourself as "The Shiznit"  (a term my little brother is rather fond of)

Beretta USA shows a part number JM4PX4017 for a 17 rd PX4-40 mag @ $52.00 in the ProShop
http://www.shopberetta.com/e2wItemMainSub.aspx?itemId=019004081&parentLink=012000100:008000219:008000017:008000235 (http://www.shopberetta.com/e2wItemMainSub.aspx?itemId=019004081&parentLink=012000100:008000219:008000017:008000235)
www.gunbroker.com has a few listed for around $35-40

I think the one Tom is looking at is the 9mm 17 rd.  I only saw the standard 14 rd (but I could have missed it) on CDNN's website.

I saw that,  my little hearts disire however is something along the lines of 30 rounds.  I saw on the CDNN site a 30 for the 92 and want one for my PX4. 

Also side note was looking on the Beretta site and you can convert the CX4 carbine to accept a variety of Beretta mags.  Very nice ;D

9mm was 20 rounds, Same price, To bad you can't find extended mags for the old Marlin Camp carbines.

Not sure how many of you will be interested in this but just got off the phone with Check-Mate Industries.  I dont have any prices yet but,  they said it would be no problem to doing custom magazines for the Beretta PX4.  Very exciting!!! Will post back with more details as they come in.

CMI suppiled some pretty lousy M9 mags to the military; hope they do a better job w your mags.

Lost their military contract BTW. New M9 mag contract went to Airtonic for up to 14 _million_ more M9 mags!

My best results w Berettas have been w PB (Pietro Beretta) , MG (MecGar), and MDS (Meccanica del Sarca) mags.

The "company line" from Beretta is to only use Beretta, MecGar, and MDS mags anything else isn't "up to standards".

The CX4 carbines are designed with inserts for the 90 series (92,96, 90-2), PX4, and 8000 (Cougar) pistol mags depending on caliber.  A few of the guys I have talked with were talking about having thier departments order CXs to replace shotguns in certain applications so they could keep the gear load down but round count up.  They already had 92s with four mags on the belt to start with.
