This gun is fun to shoot. I have shoot over 800 rounds with no issue. I recently tested the gun using steel case ammo ( tulammo) and the gun was flawless.Very accurate and easy to clean.
Americans are bunch of pussys. Rest of the world uses lamps, tables, chairs, fists, legs, dicks to fight of burglars or some douchebags, but no, americans are like: You broke into my house! RATATAT BOOM BAM RARTATA.*we have to defend our family*
*10 minutes later*
We are land of peace, we want global peace, god bless america!
A fucking wanna be 15 year old gangster can have 5 guns in his pocket and then they complain oooh our crime rate is high! Worlds dumbest nation. Sorry but just my opinion.
If you take any two pistols and compair their mechanical accuracy one will come out on top. The catch is that at any distance you can articulate to a jury of your peers that you had no other choice than to defend your life with a gun, does it really matter. Give me any modern properly functioning pistol and I can hit a chest size target at 21 feet. The PX4 isn't a bulls eye target pistol, however in a fight for your life it will put an attacker down.
Great Videos! I am thinking of a Storm as an upgrade to my .22 revolver, but I have a couple questions.
1. Distance on pig targets shot in this video?
2. I heard that sometimes the steel cased bullets misfeed or jam in the Storm. Have you had any problems with that at all?
3. I am trying to decide between the 40 and 9mm.I hear the recoil on the 40 shouldn't be much more than the 9mm but what's your opinion on the recoil. I want my wife to be fine shooting it too. Thanks!!
This is a great gun. Just got it in 9mm about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. In my opinion the D/A S/A trigger is perfect. Also, I've heard that steel cased ammo has problems feeding into the chamber, but it doesn't look like you have had any problems.
There absolutely no need to carry a D/A S/A gun with the safety on. Because the longer heavier double action first trigger pull is a safety in it self, that the beauty of D/A S/A gun its not going to be accidentally fired, The Glocks and other striker fired guns are great I have three. But the only safety on a Glock is a complete trigger guard because a trigger pull accidentally or inadvertent trigger hangup or even holstering it can inadvertently pull the trigger. D/A S/A is what right 4 me.
@Makingnewnameisdumb I guess I was trying to confirm my suspicions in a roundabout way. Let me explain. I believe that the sigs are considerably better guns than the px4 storm. My friend owns one and was never impressed with it. It looks funny, the sights are not great and does not seem to be as accurate as sigs, glocks, and hk's. And why would anyone need a rotating barrel on a soft shooting 9mm? Guns like the Xdm 9and FNP 9 have pillow soft recoils w/o rotating barrels. Forgive my rant, JMHO.
@FNPNick I believe you and you're friend have you're right to a personal opinion, but my opinion is that you and you're friend absolutely know nothing about pistols. Less accurate than a Sig, H&K, Glock FNP 9 my ass. You bench rest all those mentioned after properly sighting them in then come back with you're opinion. If anything the rotating lockup will be inherently more accurate not less. Likewise, watch Hickok's vid on accuracy. My PX4 Storm is a nail driver w/ a 6:00 hold.
@MrBigden37 For you to say that the Beretta PX4 storm is more accurate than sigs..you seem to be the one that knows nothing about pistols. There's no need for the personal attack. lol Btw, my friend loves his PX4, I just don't like it. It looks like a hair dryer. On a serious note, based on personal experience, I shoot my sig and fnp much more accurately than the Px4 and my groupings are MUCH tighter than my friend's groups with his Px4. IMO the trigger and sights are better on sigs.
@FNPNick The only way to determine if one pistol is more accurate is to take out human error and bench rest them. I can promise you whatever sig you own is no more accurate than my PX4. The positive rotating lock-up of barrel to slide assures perfect alignment of barrel and sights. The result is superior accuracy and quicker recovery for the next shot since the barrel remains on the same axis throughout the firing cycle, intrinsic accuracy is enhanced unlike the Browning-style cam.
@MrBigden37 I understand what you are saying...BUT in a real world scenario, no one is going to be firing from a bench rest. I can't with a clear conscience concede to you that your PX4 is more accurate than sigs benched. But for the sake of argument let's say that they are equal from a bench rest. If this is the case, the pistol with better sights and a better trigger will achieve tighter groups firing from a standing position. And in my opinion sigs have better triggers and sights.
Hickok45, you don't seem to be as accurate with this gun as with the others you have tested like the sigs, hk's, and glocks. You mention it may be because of the way you have to hold the sight picture on this beretta. Why is it that you shoot the sigs better with a similar type of hold? I know my sig needs a "combat" style hold where I have to cover up the target. I'm not a big fan of the px4 storm, but I was wondering why the discrepancy between this gun and the sigs when they hold similarly?
@FNPNick Different guns can really feel very different, even if they appear to be similar. The Storm is a pretty bulky, chubby, top-heavy gun for a compact pistol, so there might be some differences that make the recoil feel or behave differently or cause one to have to orient the gun a bit differently in the hand in order to shoot strait and not twist it around or anything.
Hickok45, congratulations, you did very well going from DA to SA, hit the cowboy everytime. Perhaps not as fast as your Glock, but I have confidence you could master both. But, i'll be wise and stick with your advice to train and use one or the other type action for cc.
Hickok45 - ever been tempted to review the FN five seven? I'm a rifle guy- going to get my pistol license soon and it looks like a great firearm. I get the feeling you'll slam it though !
@trainwreck003 Hey trainwreck, I just learned this stuff myself within the last year. Single action means that when you pull trigger it only drops the hammer, meaning the hammer must be cocked back first. In double action, pulling the trigger will (1) cock the hammer back and (2) drop the hammer, firing the gun. The single action trigger pull is generally a lot shorter because the hammer's already cocked.
I got that mag loader today. Ordered it after watching your video, that thing is amazing! I actually got the 22nd round in my 22 round factory glock mag! XD
Hmm..I bought one box of CCI Blazer(aluminum). I've never heard of it being bad ammo. Would probably piss off reloaders picking up cartridges but I don't care haha. I want to shoot my FN!
No offense to Hickok or any one that allegedly has a problem with a D/A S/A safer to carry handgun. To get real? when you chamber a round,its single action. If you cock the hammer after decocking its single action. If you safely fire the first shot D/A at the bad guy,its single action. If you are target shooting all rounds will be single action after you rack the slide. I just don't get it? You would rather have a cocked chambered Glock? or safety cocked and locked 1911? Give me a safe D/A S/A
@tankerOwns1-In response to your comment about Hickok45 selling out,you ovbiously DO NOT know what your talking about and if you really feel that way,don't watch his videos and keep your comments to yourself!
I have a Beretta PX storm sub compact 9mm its a pretty great gun no problems.
I have 3 Glocks a 19,23,26, I am not about to chamber a always cocked gun. So in my searches for a safe D/A,S/A compact guns. I found 1 Beretta, 2 Bersa, 1 Walther,
1 S&W 638 and have them all, with Laser sights. No complaints about any of them. My EDC is a S&W BG 380, along with The Bersa 380, and the S&W 638 shrouded hammer snub 38. Beretta a quality gun. When someone makes a light pocket carry 40? I will buy it
If anyone hasn't seen the subcompact version of this gun look it up on google images...it is pretty crazy looking. I think it resembles a futuristic gun I saw in a sci-fi movie once...can't remember which one now.
For some reason Canadians really love this pistol. My Aunt bought this pistol for self defense. I found the gun fun to shoot even though I prefer rifles. And its starting to enter service in the Canadian law enforcement if I'm correct.
I noticed this handgun is not as accurate as the 92F, I've shot the 92F in combat it's not bad, but I love my Glock 23 best, wish I could of taken it to Iraq
@hickok45 can you do a review of the Para-Ordnance/Para-Usa P-14.45? It's a big .45 has the standard 1911 barrel length, but with a double-stack magazine that holds 14 rounds. From what I've heard, they are okay until you break them in (300-400 rounds), and then they are amazing and outshine Springfields. But I have no personal experience.
@tanker0wns1 i doubt that. he enjoys shooting guns, showing us and teaching us about them. its nice that he can get paid some and get ammo donations so he can do more videos. besides its not like he has a bunch of those shitty commercials before the videos
Great video! I liked the close-ups of the pistol while H45 was reloading, and I always enjoy the slow-motion scenes at the end. I have the 92, and love it. I'll consider this one for my collection. You're right. The 92 is not a CCW. But, it is a fine shooter for plates and so forth. Thanks for your really informative and entertaining work.
Beretta would have been better served if they would have put adjustable sights on this gun. My PX4 storm in .45 shoots low to left. 2 other friends have shot the pistol and shot it the same way. I am considering trading it in for a Glock 21 or a S&W M&P which I own in other calibers. They are far superior pistols.
Thanks Hickok... My local indoor range has banned use of blazer aluminum with a dozen cracked cases as examples. Cheapest I have gone is Winchester white box. Nothing cheaper.
@easydoz1 I bet if you got right down to it, the reason your range has banned Blaser Aluminum is so they don't have to sort it out of the valuable brass most people leave behind, and also to get people to buy the store's ammo.
Why would they care if there have been cracked cases? It's not their firearm to worry about.
@easydoz1, Any guns blown up or anything? I'd probably ban it, too, if I owned an indoor range. Empty brass left on the floor is like money lying around, unless it's aluminum, of course. :-)
@hickok45 I wouldn't think about being a Hickok critic in a 100 years? To address some shooter biases about safe to carry, D/A S/A handguns? We have to get real? All such guns are single action when target shot.We all make choices, a not cocked D/A S/A gun is safer,than a always cocked,chambered Glock,or 1911 cocked and locked. No need 4 a safety on a D/A S/A carry gun.
I never shot my S&W 19 D/A except in combat drill. I hate DAO guns,and SAO. My S&W 638 EDC has a shrouded hammer, 4 S/A.10-4
@surfside006 , To each is own. For me, the double-to-single action carry mode might be VERY safe for the bad guy because I don't shoot it as well from 1st to 2nd shot.:-)
@hickok45 Come on I don't believe that for a minute, no bad guy will survive your D/A to S/A trigger pulls.
I have seen you shot DAO turkeys like Kel Tec PF 9 magazine ejectors, finger pincher,you do fine,the DAO guns are tough to do well. When I go to the range,I deliberately shoot a shot or two D/A it can be controlled but will win no trophies. D/A is simply a safe not cocked mode. Instantly ready.
I have a S&W BG 380 DAO,S&W 638, Bersa 380,Bersa 40,Beretta 9,Walther 22 D/A S/A 3 Glocks etc
The Beretta PX 4 series are great guns I have searched for D/A S/A bobbed hammer light guns all over the Internet. Unfortunately most are simply to heavy for EDC. There are plenty of quality manufactures but not small light guns D/A S/A. Kel Tec is light in 9 but kind of crappy and DAO,most maker have all jumped on the striker fired, always cocked in your pocket. I found a Bersa 380 D/A S/A 20 ounces best I can find. And My S&W BG 380 DAO 11 ounces. New Beretta Nano 9 17 ounces striker fired?
@surfside006 that is a complete matter of opinion. I own a HK USP .45 which is DA/SA and a Glock. It all comes down to the operator. A gun is only as safe as the person carrying it. I ALWAYS know how many rounds I have, if my safety is on, hammer at rest or back, or if i have a round chambered. I don't feel any less safe carrying the Glock with a round chambered as I do with my USP saftey on hammer at rest. and I usually carry safety off.
@Hazmat0357 A matter of opinion. you are absolutely correct, That is my opinion. I had a Original 1911 45 acp
as one of my first guns, my opinion is I hated it. I also had 45 ACP in S&W revolver believe it or not? I had no opinion,but it had a six inch barrel.and I hate six inch barrels. I had single action,and now have no interest in single actions at all. DAO have triggers I dislike. I have 3 Glocks, not chambered, I love the D/A S/A hand guns I own, no need for safety,That is My Opinion
@easydoz1 I haven't had any bad experiences with the Blazer. I'm going to do a better job inspecting prior to shooting now that I've read stories such as what you posted. My only reason for shooting it is because it's so stinking cheap.
They do have a Px4 Storm model that is double action only, it's called the G Type (government model). What you're shooting here is the F Type. As far as I can tell, anyone can buy it but it's not really sold to the general public but can be ordered. It doesn't have a safety or a decocker.
@easydoz1, Nope; I've never had trouble with Blazer. I'll keep an eye on it, though, if you've had such a horrible experience with it. I don't necessarily look for it, but I sometimes choose it if it's priced right or available, regardless of caliber. I especially like their 10mm ammo.
@easydoz1 I shot a box of CCI aluminum and didn't have a problem, but I will say one thing I didn't like about them was the tiny aluminum flakes I found while cleaning the gun. It shouldn't harm the gun in any way, but I didn't like that. Otherwise I think it's pretty decent ammo. I think HIckok is right about the indoor range. empty brass is money for them and having to sort aluminum from the brass would be an annoyance.
To AFS, thanks for supporting this channel. I have recommended your website specifically because of your support for Hickok's videos and I'll be buying some ammo from you myself too. Keep up the support and we'll do our part! Thanks.
@hickok45 I dont know how well u like Taurus pistols but as an option since u don't like double to single action I have a Taurus millennium pro pt111 9mm its single action trigger pull every shot but it's hammerless I love it and use it as my concealed carry
Enjoy the vids immensely Hickok, many thanks Sir. Any of the gun suppliers out there happen to have one of the few US imported an L85 A2/ H&K A2 or variant, that Hickok could try out? It would be a real treat. Would love to here his opinion on using one of these rifles!!
Hey Hickok, long time viewer. . .1st time commenter :-) I'd love to see a video on some more pistol caliber carbines. I know you just did the Uzi, got any more toys like it?
Whats great about shooting 2 liters is you get a different result everytime! That pink one looked like it wanted to fly up to the moon at 9:50!! Great video once again!
Beretta's pistols are great, however, if you ever do have a problem and you need to send it in for warranty repair, don't hold your breath, their customer service is just about the worst I've seen in any industry. Looks like the Storm is shooting low on you, I've heard this can be a problem with them. +1 on the Uplula, don't know what I'd do with out it.
I didn't like my PX4 Storm .40 for one reason. Due to the rotating barrel, I could feel pin pricks of gun powder to the shooting arm and face. (It wasn't oil)
Hope Hickok45 finds out about the new Walther PPQ. Striker fired smooth crisp trigger with a 1/10th '' reset. It's got an unbelievably comfortable grip like the H&K P30.
Hey Hickok! Can you possibly get your hands on the Beretta TX4 Storm 12 Ga. Shotgun? It's a little (18" Barrel) Semi-Auto that (from what I've heard) weighs under 6.5 pounds. I've heard many good things about it: it even has a (decorative) breaching muzzle brake.
my local PD just recently switched from G22 to PX4 Storm. I'm not sure why. everyone loves to hate on Glock, but IMO it's a much better duty gun due to simplicity.. that rotating barrel on the PX4 just screams malfunction to me, but they seem to be pretty reliable from what I've seen so I don't know.
I'm interested in this gun, particularly in the new stainless version that came out recently, but don't like the sight over target (12 o'clock hold?) that Hickok was describing here. Installing an adjustable rear sight would be a must for me. Eh, when it comes to Berettas, I think I'll just stick with my 92FS, at least for now...
Im going to this mans house for a zombie Apocalypse... :D

@hickok45 can you do a review of the Para-Ordnance/Para-Usa P-14.45? It's a big .45 has the standard 1911 barrel length, but with a double-stack magazine that holds 14 rounds. From what I've heard, they are okay until you break them in (300-400 rounds), and then they are amazing and outshine Springfields. But I have no personal experience.

Great video! I liked the close-ups of the pistol while H45 was reloading, and I always enjoy the slow-motion scenes at the end. I have the 92, and love it. I'll consider this one for my collection. You're right. The 92 is not a CCW. But, it is a fine shooter for plates and so forth. Thanks for your really informative and entertaining work.

Beretta would have been better served if they would have put adjustable sights on this gun. My PX4 storm in .45 shoots low to left. 2 other friends have shot the pistol and shot it the same way. I am considering trading it in for a Glock 21 or a S&W M&P which I own in other calibers. They are far superior pistols.

Thanks Hickok... My local indoor range has banned use of blazer aluminum with a dozen cracked cases as examples. Cheapest I have gone is Winchester white box. Nothing cheaper.
easydoz1 3 months ago
@easydoz1 I bet if you got right down to it, the reason your range has banned Blaser Aluminum is so they don't have to sort it out of the valuable brass most people leave behind, and also to get people to buy the store's ammo.
Why would they care if there have been cracked cases? It's not their firearm to worry about.

hickok45 3 months ago
@hickok45 I wouldn't think about being a Hickok critic in a 100 years? To address some shooter biases about safe to carry, D/A S/A handguns? We have to get real? All such guns are single action when target shot.We all make choices, a not cocked D/A S/A gun is safer,than a always cocked,chambered Glock,or 1911 cocked and locked. No need 4 a safety on a D/A S/A carry gun.
I never shot my S&W 19 D/A except in combat drill. I hate DAO guns,and SAO. My S&W 638 EDC has a shrouded hammer, 4 S/A.10-4
surfside006 3 months ago
@surfside006 , To each is own. For me, the double-to-single action carry mode might be VERY safe for the bad guy because I don't shoot it as well from 1st to 2nd shot.:-)
hickok45 3 months ago 7
@hickok45 Come on I don't believe that for a minute, no bad guy will survive your D/A to S/A trigger pulls.
I have seen you shot DAO turkeys like Kel Tec PF 9 magazine ejectors, finger pincher,you do fine,the DAO guns are tough to do well. When I go to the range,I deliberately shoot a shot or two D/A it can be controlled but will win no trophies. D/A is simply a safe not cocked mode. Instantly ready.
I have a S&W BG 380 DAO,S&W 638, Bersa 380,Bersa 40,Beretta 9,Walther 22 D/A S/A 3 Glocks etc
surfside006 3 months ago
The Beretta PX 4 series are great guns I have searched for D/A S/A bobbed hammer light guns all over the Internet. Unfortunately most are simply to heavy for EDC. There are plenty of quality manufactures but not small light guns D/A S/A. Kel Tec is light in 9 but kind of crappy and DAO,most maker have all jumped on the striker fired, always cocked in your pocket. I found a Bersa 380 D/A S/A 20 ounces best I can find. And My S&W BG 380 DAO 11 ounces. New Beretta Nano 9 17 ounces striker fired?
surfside006 3 months ago
@hickok45 Couldn't you just cock the hammer as you're pulling it out of the holster?
Anonymous1226 2 months ago
@surfside006 that is a complete matter of opinion. I own a HK USP .45 which is DA/SA and a Glock. It all comes down to the operator. A gun is only as safe as the person carrying it. I ALWAYS know how many rounds I have, if my safety is on, hammer at rest or back, or if i have a round chambered. I don't feel any less safe carrying the Glock with a round chambered as I do with my USP saftey on hammer at rest. and I usually carry safety off.
Hazmat0357 3 months ago
@Hazmat0357 A matter of opinion. you are absolutely correct, That is my opinion. I had a Original 1911 45 acp
as one of my first guns, my opinion is I hated it. I also had 45 ACP in S&W revolver believe it or not? I had no opinion,but it had a six inch barrel.and I hate six inch barrels. I had single action,and now have no interest in single actions at all. DAO have triggers I dislike. I have 3 Glocks, not chambered, I love the D/A S/A hand guns I own, no need for safety,That is My Opinion
surfside006 3 months ago
@easydoz1 I haven't had any bad experiences with the Blazer. I'm going to do a better job inspecting prior to shooting now that I've read stories such as what you posted. My only reason for shooting it is because it's so stinking cheap.

They do have a Px4 Storm model that is double action only, it's called the G Type (government model). What you're shooting here is the F Type. As far as I can tell, anyone can buy it but it's not really sold to the general public but can be ordered. It doesn't have a safety or a decocker.

@easydoz1, Nope; I've never had trouble with Blazer. I'll keep an eye on it, though, if you've had such a horrible experience with it. I don't necessarily look for it, but I sometimes choose it if it's priced right or available, regardless of caliber. I especially like their 10mm ammo.

rajvosa71000 3 months ago
@easydoz1 I shot a box of CCI aluminum and didn't have a problem, but I will say one thing I didn't like about them was the tiny aluminum flakes I found while cleaning the gun. It shouldn't harm the gun in any way, but I didn't like that. Otherwise I think it's pretty decent ammo. I think HIckok is right about the indoor range. empty brass is money for them and having to sort aluminum from the brass would be an annoyance.

Beretta's pistols are great, however, if you ever do have a problem and you need to send it in for warranty repair, don't hold your breath, their customer service is just about the worst I've seen in any industry.

Hey Hickok! Can you possibly get your hands on the Beretta TX4 Storm 12 Ga. Shotgun? It's a little (18" Barrel) Semi-Auto that (from what I've heard) weighs under 6.5 pounds. I've heard many good things about it: it even has a (decorative) breaching muzzle brake.
LavaTalon73 3 months ago
my local PD just recently switched from G22 to PX4 Storm. I'm not sure why. everyone loves to hate on Glock, but IMO it's a much better duty gun due to simplicity.. that rotating barrel on the PX4 just screams malfunction to me, but they seem to be pretty reliable from what I've seen so I don't know.

I'm interested in this gun, particularly in the new stainless version that came out recently, but don't like the sight over target (12 o'clock hold?) that Hickok was describing here. Installing an adjustable rear sight would be a must for me. Eh, when it comes to Berettas, I think I'll just stick with my 92FS, at least for now...
