Each one can be purchased as a Type C, Type D, Type F, or Type G, but are primarily offered in the civilian market as Type F. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"507\" alt=\"Beretta Px4 Storm right, profile, black\" class=\"wp-image-78060 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=300%2C238&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=150%2C119&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=640%2C507&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=640%2C507&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Beretta Px4 Storm right, profile, black\" class=\"wp-image-78060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=300%2C238&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-1.jpg?resize=150%2C119&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Beretta Px4 Storm\u2019s rounded corners and smooth edges make for an excellent mid-size carry gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Type C is a single-action-only pistol.

Beretta answered the call successfully by redesigning the Storm\u2019s internal components to meet or exceed all requirements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1 ai-viewport-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Desktop--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/contest.html?cid=contest\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rdf_dec23_ad.jpg?w=500&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rdf_dec23_ad.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1\" align=\"center\" px=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The result was a pistol that satisfies not only SOCOM\u2019s requirements but the most demanding shooter looking for the absolute best and most reliable pistol for personal defense, competition, or carry. All Beretta Px4 Storm pistols were designed to meet or exceed NATO requirements and have been reported to have fired over 150,000 rounds with zero failures. The Px4 is in use by police departments and military organizations around the world. Here in the United States, according to press releases, the Storm is in use by multiple police departments.<\/p>\n<h2>Beretta Px4 Storm Features<\/h2>\n<p>While the compact and subcompact models are very popular, I like my full-size model and find it comfortable to shoot and carry. Size-wise it is 7.5 inches long, 5.5 inches high, 1.22 inches wide, and weighs 28 ounces. The barrel is 4 inches long. The Beretta website stretches these measurements a bit. Maybe my gun has shrunk over the years, but I\u2019m giving you exactly what the ruler says. I think it\u2019s probably more an issue of translating from metric to U.S. measurements.<\/p>\n<p>The heft is comfortable in my hands and not at all uncomfortable to carry in a good IWB <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/holsters\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=beretta-px4-storm-soldiers-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">holster<\/a>. The slide is rounded everywhere there\u2019s an edge, pronouncedly so on the top edges. Mounted on the slide are tritium night sights. I honestly don\u2019t remember if the gun came that way or if it\u2019s something I added later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" alt=\"Full size, compact, and subcompact Beretta Px4 Storm semiautomatic pistols 9mm\" class=\"wp-image-78061 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=150%2C93&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=640%2C397&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=640%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Full size, compact, and subcompact Beretta Px4 Storm semiautomatic pistols 9mm\" class=\"wp-image-78061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-2.jpg?resize=150%2C93&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Px4 is available in nine different combinations and in three sizes\u2014full-size, compact, and subcompact.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are serrations on the flat part of the slide, which is the lower half, just above the rather hefty slide lock lever.

The magazine is a 15-rounder, steel and strongly made. The grip frame is very comfortable to me. The Storm comes with interchangeable backstraps. I\u2019m using the medium size on my gun.<\/p>\n<p>One of the unique features of the Beretta Px4 Storm is the barrel operating system. While the Storm is a locked-breech operating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/handguns\/semi-automatic\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=beretta-px4-storm-soldiers-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">semi-automatic pistol<\/a>, the way the barrel locks up is different. There is a locking block that the recoil spring and rod go through. The block has a pin on it that fits inside a groove on the portion of the barrel that supports the \u201clock-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"close up of the slide-mounted decocker on the Beretta Px4 Storm\" class=\"wp-image-78062 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=640%2C427&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"close up of the slide-mounted decocker on the Beretta Px4 Storm\" class=\"wp-image-78062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-3.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The slide-mounted decocker doubles as a safety in some models. The takedown tabs are similar to those on a Glock. However, the Storm does not require a trigger pull to remove the slide.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The groove wraps around the barrel so the pin travels in a rotational manner around approximately one-fourth of the barrel when the gun is fired. This occurs at the start of the cycle to eject the just-fired cartridge and load another one. The end result of this action is that the first one-fourth of the recoil cycle is rotational and does not present any kind of \u201ckick\u201d to the shooter. Does the Storm have recoil? Yes, but it is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/ported-performance-recoil-reduction-ported-barrels-compensators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diminished<\/a> somewhat by the unique operating system.<\/p>\n<p>One of the really cool aspects of the Px4 is the trigger. It has one of the smoothest triggers of any hammer-fired handgun I\u2019ve shot, with a 7-pound double-action and 3-pound single-action trigger press. It\u2019s an amazing trigger, which for me results in consistent accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Disassembly for cleaning or other maintenance is slightly different with this kind of barrel\/recoil spring combo, but not at all complicated. After dropping the magazine, locking the slide back, and checking to ensure the chamber is empty, the slide is released by pulling two tabs on the frame downward just ahead and above the trigger guard \u2014 similar to take-down on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/handguns\/?fq=brand%3AGLOCK&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=beretta-px4-storm-soldiers-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glock<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"588\" alt=\"Field Stripped Beretta Px4 Storm\" class=\"wp-image-78063 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=300%2C275&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=150%2C138&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=640%2C588&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=640%2C588&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Field Stripped Beretta Px4 Storm\" class=\"wp-image-78063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=300%2C275&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Beretta-Px4-Storm-4.jpg?resize=150%2C138&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Disassembly for cleaning or other maintenance is slightly different with this kind of barrel\/recoil spring combo, but not at all complicated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Release the slide lock, and the slide will come off the front.

You must maneuver the locking block over the barrel to get the pin into the groove. That requires a slight compression of the recoil spring.
