The 92X RDO continues the evolution of an iconic series, and is made in the USA. A key feature is the red-dot optic ready slide, a short reset trigger, and aggressively textured 92X-style thin grips for instinctive control and a more natural fit for all shooters.
The compact design is made for easy or concealed carry. The Beretta 92X RDO is made for aggressive performance, ideal for competitive dynamic shooting as well as self-defense. If you wanted to conceal and carry a full-size double/single pistol every day, this would be our first choice without hesitation.Beretta 92X RDO Full Sized 4.7" Pistol Optics Ready in 10, 15 and 18 round configuration with either safety or decocker models While the PX4 Storm Compact is a bit better suited for EDC purposes, some people prefer to carry a full-size pistol. As a result, finding one for less than $500 is not difficult, and at that price 's a steal.Īs a nightstand gun, it's an excellent pick. Unfortunately, the PX4 just never got the cachet in the market that it deserves, but for the interested buyer that can pay dividends as dealers will sometimes just want them out of their inventory and offer a great deal. Ultimately, it's a very sweet shooter, with some very smart features. The single-action trigger has a bit of creep - almost all double/single pistols do - but not too much, and a clean, crisp break. The trigger is very good, smooth in double action with minimal stacking. It's comfortable to hold, accurate and controllable under recoil. Unlike the classic 92, the Picatinny rail also allows use of a weapon-mounted light if so desired.Įrgonomically, the PX4 Storm is excellent.

Some other good touches include the sights, which are dovetailed and thus allow the user to upgrade them or change them as they see fit.
The tail of the frame allows for a natural high and tight grip on the pistol.Īnother interesting feature is the rear of the slide, which acts as a partial hammer shroud when the hammer is down, which makes the pistol a little more concealable compared to other DA/SA handguns. The frame features swappable grip/backstrap panels, so you can get the fit you want.
#Beretta 9mm full size series#
The PX4 series loses a few ounces, with the full-size variant weighing a rather manageable 28 ounces. While that tamed recoil, it made carrying one a pain. Classically, big Beretta 9mm pistols have been substantial. The other big story with the PX4 Storm is the polymer frame, which reduces weight dramatically. It's a cool feature, though not a game changer. Without fully explaining it (and wasting a whole bunch of time on a pointless aside) the gist of it is the barrel never goes out of alignment, and more recoil energy is essentially bled off.ĭoes it pay any dividends? A little less recoil while shooting. Let's kick off this Beretta PX4 Storm review with the party pieces: the rotating barrel and the polymer frame.Ī rotating barrel spins during the recoil cycle, then returns to lock-up as the slide goes forward a lot like how the camshaft of an engine spins. Is it worth it? Let's go over that in the review portion.
Real-world prices will be more in the $500 to $575 range. You can also opt for the G (decocker only) D (double-action only) or C system, or "constant action." The C model is single-action only, returning the hammer to the half-cock position.but there's no safety or decocker either. The standard model is Beretta's F system, wherein the controls are a decocking safety. The base model has dovetailed white dot sights, but there are models with tritium night sights for an extra $100 in MSRP. There is, however, no right-side slide stop/release lever, so lefties are out of luck in that regard. The magazine release can be swapped to the right side, and the takedown tabs (a la Glock) are also ambidextrous. 45 ACP, 15+1 of 9x21mmĪll models have certain common features, including swappable grip/backstrap panels, ambidextrous slide-mounted control levers, fore and aft cocking serrations and a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories. There are also Compact and Subcompact variants, but for the moment we'll talk about the full-size. For now, we'll discuss the Beretta PX4 Storm specifications for the full-size model.
