I cannot agree more. The PX4 is a phenominal piece of machinery. It is everything I want in a defensive pistol. It is soft shooting, reliable, accurate, almost indestructable, easy to carry, and that all applies to the full size as well as the compact. Ernest's 50,000 round test of that one gun, by one person, in one year sold me on it and my experience with it has been excellent.

I bought a PX4 last year and never once regretted it. It's one if the softest shooting 9mm pistols I've ever fired. It's super comfortable. It's also just good looking in my opinion. Classic Italian styling with the modern touch. Fires like a laser beam and I'll proudly shoot my PX4 until the day I die. When I was in the Army and we shot M9's, if someone had offered to trade in my M9 for the PX4 I would have done it in a heartbeat.

I used to sell new PX4's back in 2011-2014 when I worked at an indoor range on sale for around $400 and hardly anyone would buy them because it wasn't a Glock. A frequent regular customer who was a detective would come in once a week to shoot a used PX4 in 40 cal that I sold to him and he couldn't believe how soft it shot. This guy had every high end gun and swore by his used $300 PX4 Storm. Definitely an underrated gun and I have loved mine since 2012. Great video.
@Shadow__133

I skipped a lot of "good guns" because of factors like lack of oem or aftermarket parts/support and accessories (holsters, compatible optics, lights, mags etc). A detective that can carry OWB or on a vest/shoulder has less issues carrying than someone like me, that has to keep it concealed. For me the IWI Masada was the best ergonomics and a great quality/price piece, but I skipped it due to all the reasons above. Couldn't even get oem spares for it.

Having lived in California where there are only about six pistols that can be bought - legally - the PX4 was one. It was a good handgun out of the box. But a couple years later I sent it to Ernest to do his magic. When it returned, with new springs, new trigger, better mag release, better sights and more ergo everything, it was fantastic. Every friend who tried it agreed. I have been shooting the PX4 for more than 10 years. Don't know how many rounds, certainly a few thousand, and have never had a stoppage or malfunction. It is solid, reliable and fun to shoot.

I have since changed mine to the "G" model exactly as Mr. Langdon described. With no gun smithing experience, I did that myself (with some help from RU-vid). Now that I've been shooting for six years, ha e a collection of pistols and I'm proficient with them, I am still so in love with it. It's my most accurate pistol. The only thing it needs is a red dot mount. And maybe some money to send it to Mr. Langdon to take care of that for me. Thanks for the validation, James!!!!

The LTT PX4 Storm Compact Carry is the greatest pistol I have ever shot. Having firsthand experience, I can vouch for pretty much every single thing mentioned in this video. It's a truly phenomenal firearm, and it's sad it isn't getting more love in the US. The two biggest things for me was the remarkably soft recoil, and the dead-on-balls accuracy. It practically turns an "OK" shooter into a great shooter.

1. Is the price. Last I checked they wanted like 1200$ I think for it. 2. Is the fact you can't buy it in person anywhere. You have to know someone that has one to even handle it and then if you want one you have to either buy it online or send your in. A lot of people don't want to mess with online firearm buying or sending it in. If they worked with Beretta and produced a factory pistol with the same specs and dropped the price to 700$. I think it would become a lot more popular. But nowadays there's not many people that want to carry a pistol that big anymore.

My wife had never shot it. I handed it to her and set up a 5 circle target in our field. She drilled all 5, handed it back and said…” that shoots really nice.” It is truly truly underrated. It would be my go to any day.

I have immense respect for Langdon. Back in 2016 I was looking to replace my striker fired pistol and started reading Langdon’s posts and watching his videos about DA/SA pistols for concealed carry. His logic was iron clad. I had just moved to a state where I had to shoot a qualification for my handgun permit so I qualified with a Px4 range gun. I literally put every bullet in the X on a B-52 at 15 yards. I was sold. I bought a Px4 and carried it for 3 years. All the things Langdon says in the video are true…except for the reliability. I had to send the pistol back to Beretta twice and then it started having unexplained malfunctions. I tried everything to remedy the problem but just gave up on it. I wish I’d had a better experience with the gun because it really is a shooter.

The only legit complaint on these guns is the lack of texture on the sides. Stimple/talon grip does wonders . The full size and the compact are fantastic stock guns.

I think if they were able to release a version in 10mm it would get a lot of new attention in the US. New 10mm releases seem to be getting a lot of coverage recently. Right now, the only DA/SA handguns that I'm aware of are from Tanfoglio/EAA and SIG starting at around $1000 to $1400 respectively. If Beretta could offer that platform for under $1000, I think they would dominate that sector, and I would have to start saving up.

@Oblivionsurveyor 10 месяцев назад
how would you compare it to the full as a carry? To my understanding a 10 round full will weigh less than a 15 round compact and the barrel is only 3/4" longer. the weight difference is about 3 rounds of 9mm i wanted the Compact but those wont be stocked until next year.
@SplashOfOrange

@@Oblivionsurveyor, The PX4s are just kinda chunky. My PX4cc (Compact Carry) is smaller than my Hellcat RDP (my alternate EDC) in almost every way except width, but the PX4cc feels bigger and prints more readily. I say that to lead into that the fullsize PX4 will feel even bigger. The biggest issue with carrying the full size though is the decocker/safety wings. On the PX4cc they are trim and "stealthy" decocker only, designed for carry. On the full size they are pointy and not comfortable against your skin at all, and they are a combination decocker/safety. You absolutely can carry a full size, some people do, but most people swear -- myself included -- that the PX4cc has a better trigger and is generally more accurate than the full size. Having both, I'd personally not want to carry the full size IWB, but OWB it would be fine so long as you are either ok to open carry or have sufficient clothing to cover it. Just my humble opinion, I haven't met a PX4 I didn't like, but having access to a range of them I'd stand by that the Compact Carry (not the regular compact) is the only one I'd recommend for conceal carry, then the compact would be #2, and the full size would be #3. To save on weight I'd recommend Liberty Ultra Lights as ammo -- they are super fast +p 9mm (2000+ fps) and only 50gr per round, which adds up to a noticeably lighter magazine when loaded up with a full 15rd. Just my thoughts based solely on my own experience. I love the PX4cc, easily the best handgun I've ever used.

I used to have a SC in 9mm and found it more accurate than most any other full or medium sized striker fired handguns I have fired. Still have a Stoeger Cougar which is basically a close model from old Beretta Cougar design. Now this makes me want another Compact

People like to downvote the subbie because it's a tilt barrel, but it's a great sub and I hate subs. Beretta couldn't fit the rotating action in there so they just quietly made the most shootable 3 inch tilt action on the market, especially if you don't have small hands

The PX4 is so good I would carry it stock. The ease with which the trigger can be pulled while keeping the sights aligned is wild to me because the stock double action is heavy (I am used to the Langdon Beretta 92 trigger pull). I was getting groups with PX4 iron sights slightly smaller than groups with FN509 with a dot. Without the dot the iron sights are blurry and the target is blurry, but I just put the small blur into the large blur and voila nice tight groups, up to 7 yards. 10 yards not so much, but that is the potential for the gun.

Fact. I’ve got several, including full size and two compact carry. All have Langdon parts or are direct from Langdon. Easily my favorite DA/SA gun. And it’s not particularly close. They carry well and shoot well. Only complaint is the lack of holsters for RDO models. I’d also note that they like to be run wet; they’re not Glocks and require a fair amount of lube on certain parts. Most criminally underrated guns out there.

My first even pistol, and ccw was a PX4 Storm Subcompact. At the time back in like 2012 or 13, it really met everything I wanted. The safety/decocker, 13+1, small but soft shooting. It really was the perfect carry back then for a new shooter. I put thousands of rounds through my PX4, and I cannot for the life of me remember a single malfunction. I had it for about 10+ years, but it retired to my safe as the micro compact market exploded. I moved on to a P365 and really never looked back. I recently sold it because I hadn't fired it in a long time and didn't see a reason for it to keep taking up room in my safe. The only thing that PX4 needed was talon grips, because the texture was not enough on it's own and it would get slippery. I miss it sometimes, but I bet if I bought another it would just sit in the safe.

I have been a fan of the PX4 for a couple years now. To the point where I now consider it the standard by which all other pistols are measured. The PX4 Compact is truly the Goldilocks Gun for me...I have not found any other pistol that offers so much and ticks nearly all of the boxes. The polymer grip is perhaps the only "unchecked box". I own 2 compacts now and am considering trading some of my other guns in the safe for another PX4. Oh, and Ernest Langdon rocks!

Talk to a Carabinieri while waiting to get off of the bullet train in Milan and we had a short conversation about the Beretta 92 he was carrying back in September 2021. I told him I was a big Beretta fan and had both the 92FS and 92X (updated with an LTT trigger in a bag, among other things). He said he was changing to the PX4. That led me to buy the LTT PX4 Compact Carry shortly after that conversation in 2021. It is my SUV carry gun ( in a Hornady RFID gun safe). Well, I also have the CX4 for my home defense weapon along with the 1301 TAC.

Back in the 2000s, I had the intention of buying a PX4 and a CX4. I already owned the Beretta Cougar, so I was already familiar with the rotating cam locking barrel.

First handgun purchase, back in 2005 or so.. Paid $550 for a full sized .40, in 2006 dollars, as a catch and release piece from a fed. Fast forward to 2021. Found a 45 for $450, and nabbed it, as I had tried out lots of other platforms since that day, and despite experiences with 1911s, Sig hammer-fired, Springfields, Glocks, and HKs, I ended up circling back to that very first selection I made, as a brand new shooter. Got the full spread of the caliber family by now, and would be confident to carry any one of them into a contested situation. I love to see the PX4 getting it's due attention, and really appreciate the work that James and co have done to raise awareness to this little gem. Conversely, I'm cussing them under my breath, for the way those efforts have driven the price of this platform up, up, and up.
