Trigger time with Beretta's PX 4 Storm .40?
« on: November 27, 2008, 08:21:20 AM »
Does anyone have any trigger time with the .40 Storm by Beretta?  I have my eye on it, but I can't find a single place in Oklahoma that will rent me one so I can get a little range time with it before I buy. I favor Beretta because I'm used to Beretta operation after my time in the service, but I'd still like to see if anyone has been able to compare the Storm's performance against the 92 series. Any comments would be appreciated.

I have a PX4 in 40S&W Type F

My first handgun was a Ruger SR9 that for obvious reasons I traded for a new Glock 21C which looked like abrick and shot like a brick. I traded my 21C for my first PX4 earlier this year and never looked back. Within 50 rounds I knew the PX4 is what I should have bought in the first place. I have since added the Beretta extended magazine release and picked up a set of 17 round magazines to boot.

Earlier this week I actually got the urge to try the 90-Two so I figured what the hell I trade in the PX4. After less than 10 rounds through the 90-two I realized I made a big mistake, even with the small grip the 90-two felt akward and unbalanced where as the PX4 is very neutral. So I went back to the place I bought the 90-two (one hour away) and picked up another new PX4.

The rotating barrel is a little odd and takes some getting used to but makes field stripping and cleaning a breeze. The sights are also nice yet simple both are dove tailed and make finding your target fast and easy. The standard sights are superlaminova and with exposure to daylight they glow but not for very long so full out night sights might be in order. The option of three different backstraps also make it easy to match to anyones hands and shooting style.

As for comparing it to a 92 series to me it's kinda like apples to oranges the 92 has the classic unchanged look and well know reliability but isn't as neutral feeling as the PX4. The metal frame of the 92 series is a little heavier and of course will last longer but I don't think either one of us would wear out the PX4's poly frame. I also am a little biased when it comes to looks also I am no fan of the classic 1911's and the 92 series is borderline for me in that department. So the PX4 fills the looks requirements for me also. 

I am sure some will disagree but after shooting the S&W Sigma and M&P series, Beretta 92FS and a few of the XD Springfields I wouldn't take a one over my PX4.

Where you are going wrong is trading in. You should keep each and add to the pile. That's the american way!
