But our military-issued Berettas had triggers that would make a staple gun feel match grade. Why spend all this ink to just rattle off a bunch of features? Because this laundry list of comes-standard specs is equal to or better than just about any other pistol that might be to the left or right of it in a gun store glass case, leading us directly to our biggest question about the entire PX4 Storm family: Why aren’t they more popular?! On paper, the PX4 Storm seems to be a perfectly viable pistol for self-defense or duty use.

The full-size version that we tested sported a 4-inch barrel and a 17+1 capacity. They even include a Picatinny rail in the frame for weapon light or laser.

We had 100-percent success with drop-free mag changes, even after two days of shooting in the breezy, dusty deserts of southern Arizona. The magazines themselves are metal and designed to drop free. Robar's finish work gave the PX4 an overall buttery feel with no burrs or hang-ups in the action cycle. It’s rare enough to be a remarkable design feature among modern semi-autos, and according to their website, Beretta claims it “directs recoil away from the hand and greatly reduces muzzle flip.” While perceived recoil was about on par with other polymer-framed 9mm pistols, the recoil impulse did seem less snappy and more evenly distributed than some of its competitors. In this system, the barrel actually rotates along a cam track during recoil in order to unlock from the slide. The most unusual feature carried over from the Cougar series is the rotating locking barrel mechanism. The PX4 Storm is a hybrid design that takes features from both the ubiquitous 92 series as well as their ill-fated 8000 series, also known as the Cougar pistols. So, with some trepidation, we agreed and took home an unmodified PX4.

This way we could truly appreciate not only the functional value of the upgrade package, but the potential of the oft-maligned double/single-action trigger, when said trigger is shown the proper care. Then, let Robar and LTT work their magic, and shoot the gun again. But he knew the M9 well enough that an Italian-made DA/SA hammer-fired pistol sounded about as enticing as aggressive syphilis. The author had no experience with, nor interest in, the PX4 Storm.

When the folks at Robar told us they had teamed up with Langdon Tactical Technologies to produce a carry-ready package for Beretta’s PX4 Storm, it was pure professional obligation that made us hear them out.
