I have shot them a few times and I liked them alot. I wouldn't mind having one.

Oh...oh....oh! I just had an awkward moment when I saw this!

All I can say is wow! I've never seen one, much less heard of one, but I googled and came up with:

Phew. I wan' one! How much are they in real world prices?

[Beiruty]

$520 at Academy, $563 OTD. Online is around $500 plus $25 shipping plus $15 for FFL . I will get one when funds are available.

One of my friends bought his at Academy for around $520 last summer. Other friend bought his a few months later. Both were very easy to shoot and seemed like they would conceal easily. I was surprised how well I could shoot it given the short sight radius. Neither of them had any reliability issues. The only problem I see is that there aren't any custom IWB holsters available yet. At least, I haven't seen any yet.

Edited to clarify that both were 9mm.

Crossbreed makes a Supertuck for both the standard and compact models. I have a friend who is selling me a full size PX4 next month (hopefully) so I've already got the ST for it

Bought my PX4 Sub-Compact last April. Concealed carry with a Crossbreed Supertuck. I LOVE it. Very reliable. Eats pretty much any kind of ammo. I agree it's easy to shoot and very accurate for such a short sight radius. Already owned the full-size PX4 and got the 9mm CX4 Storm carbine this Christmas to finish out the set. As soon as the weather warms a little I plan on spending some time at the range. The three "Storms" make an awesome looking collection.

cant you use the magazines in these in the Berretta Carbine? The Berretta CX4?

[casingpoint]

They're heavy, but have a stellar reputation, as well as being cheaper. Maryland State Police went to the full size forty caliber version for it's duty weapon in 2008.

I currently have the Taurus 24/7 compact.

(Like the one here http://www.gunsamerica.com/943627012/Gu ... gs_NIB.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Is there anything that the Baretta Storm can give me different from this, if you have tried both.

[casingpoint]

For starters, a PX4 will give you components with significantly better metallurgy.

Just took one of these NIB in on trade, a Xmas gift that did not fit our customers hand. I fondled it a bit and like the feel, one of the mags has a "pop down" extension that keeps the pinky on the gun versus being under the mag, it is a bit heavy and a bit wider than I am used to but seems to be of very high quality. I was going to shoot it until the "boss" told me that it has to be sold and no more transfering inventory to my personal stash, am hoping that whoever buys it will want me to clean it and test it out for them.......

Like Buzz47tx, I carry my PX4 SC in a Crossbreed Supertuck. It's a bit chunky (like my high school girlfriend). but performs like a full size. They don't call it the "wart hog" for nuttin. While it is a bit heavy, it conceals well for me and I bet my life on it every time I take it out. The light single action trigger is a real treat to shoot. If you have not bought Beretta before, note that standard warranty is 1 year but you can send in the registration card for 3 years total. If you buy it at Academy, they will ship back defective guns back to Beretta at no shipping expense to you. This makes sense because Beretta wants you to ship it overnight to them at the cost of $40 or so each time.

9MM has 13+1, Beretta says they will have the 40 cal out mid year 2010 (but they have been saying that for 2 years now). I highly suggest it.
