The Beretta Px4 Storm is a semi-automatic pistol intended for personal defense and law enforcement use. The Px4 uses the same recoil operated, locked-breech system with rotating barrel as the Beretta 8000 Models. Light-weight polymer construction and changeable backstrap options for the grip are a radical step from previous Beretta designs. Notable is a new 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 lasts up to 30 minutes.
[edit] Models
The Px4 is available in four models:
- Type C - Constant Action (single-action-only). Spurless hammer. No de-cocker. No safety. Available to law enforcement only.
- Type D - Double-action-only. Spurless hammer. No de-cocker. No safety. Available to law enforcement only.
- Type F - Single and double-action. De-cocker. Manual safety.
- Type G - Single and double-action. De-cocker. No manual safety. Available to law enforcement only.
[edit] Joint Combat Pistol
Additionally, the Px4 has been announced in .45 ACP designated as the Px4 Storm SD (Special Duty). Notable optional additions are the desert tan frame color and the longer barrel to facilitate the use of a suppressor, and is now available in a sub-compact format.
