Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm Pellet Gun Review

[JustinAGerro]

@switchingtomac Question for you, which do you recommend, Walther CP99 or The beretta px4 storm

[switchingtomac]

@JustinAGerro I like them both, the PX4 because it also shoots pellets and has good overall fps, I like the CP99 Compact because of it's outstandingly fast trigger and good usage of CO2.

[945nico]

Nice videos!!! In your opinion which one is better, the Beretta PX4 Storm or the Walther CP99?

Thank you

[switchingtomac]

@945nico Both different, the PX4 shoot spellers but the CP99 Compact has a really nice trigger and action.

[California6567]

@ switchingtomac Thanks. much of the credit for my ever growing collection of CO 2 pistols goes to you, Mr. Kaye. You have probably done more than anyone in Canada to promote these fine replica weapons. I can sit here at my computer and watch your review videos for hours. As far as my collection goes, if I had to sell them all except one, I think I would keep the Tanfoglio Witness Colt 1911. I can stare at it and handle it endlessly ! What a PERFECT creation !

[switchingtomac]

@California6567 I often get "blamed" for making people buy a collection of guns but I think it 's a good thing ;) The Tanfoglio Witness 1911 is a nice BB gun for sure.

[tills1974]

@switchingtomac I blame you yes , LOL

[tills1974]

@California6567 The Tanfoglio Witness got EVERYTHING right . I have about 35 air guns and its in my top 3 for sure . The Drozd is the one Im most impressed with performance wise ..

[California6567]

@tills1974 That is a pretty impressive collection, 35 ! I trust you have a Cybergun Mini Uzi ? They have a recoil that is incredible ! Thoise and the Tanfoglio Witness 1911 are SO realistic. The 1911 is pure JOY ! I just pick mine up and handle it and look at it for long stretches (at least when I'm not firing the priceless beauty !) Heck, I showed it to a good friend of mine, and said, "I think I've fallen in love with a piece of steel ! " : - )

[California6567]

I own this Beretta PX 4 and I am VERY happy with it. It has the hardest blowback of any of my fifteen CO 2 pistols, and I find it's accuracy acceptable once you learn to keep a strong two handed grip on the gun when firing. My other favourites are the Tanfoglio Witness 1911, Umarex SA 177 (a BEST BUY) and my Umarex HPP. As you can tell, my preference is towards "blowback" pistols. They are very close to a real firearm/ the next best thing !

[switchingtomac]

@California6567 Nice selection fo guns!

[TysonCarson1]

@California6567 just bought one..its awesome, kinda like a glock look to it

[TysonCarson1]

@TysonCarson1 good to know about the bbs

[TysonCarson1]

@TysonCarson1 stock some magazines for me theres none ill buy lots

[magnellseth]

wish it had a slide catch :(

[switchingtomac]

@magnellseth Even just to hold the slide back!

[lukeebear47]

does the slide lock back after you empty a magazine

[switchingtomac]

@lukeebear47 Not on this one as it has a rotary magazine, not an online magazine.

[qrundizsht24]

what is the cheepest full auto co2 air pistol the site has

[qrundizsht24]

is it airsoft

[switchingtomac]

@qrundizsht24 This is a 4.5mm CO2 BB gun. it shoots steel BB's not plastic Airsoft BB's.

[javyrmz]

@switchingtomac also shoots pellets

[switchingtomac]

@javyrmz Yes.

[javyrmz]

@javyrmz I got this gunits awsome

[cobrastrike5561]

does the slide lock?

[switchingtomac]

@cobrastrike5561 Not on this one.

[cobrastrike5561]

@switchingtomac then which model does?

[switchingtomac]

@cobrastrike5561 Most of the BB only blowbacks do. It's because of the magazine in this one being rotary, no way of engaging the slide stop.

[cobrastrike5561]

@switchingtomac do you have any reccomendations on NON rotary B-B bb guns?

[switchingtomac]

@cobrastrike5561 Depends what you want? The Cybergun blowbacks a are very realistic while some of the Umarex models shoot a bit harder and get more shots per CO2.

[cobrastrike5561]

@switchingtomac I want a B-B locking slide bb gun, CO2 or GAS it really doesnty matter. But some that ive found are only partial slide and not really realistic. So any reccomendations you might have Would be great!

[NewBoxCutter]

Now when you don't recommend medial bbs. Does that mean plasticky bbs are. Recommended?

[switchingtomac]

@NewBoxCutter Lead pellets are recommended.

[NewBoxCutter]

what is the differnce@switchingtomac? i am thinking about using this as a prop gun.

[Camaron47]

So, this is a pellet gun that takes lead pellets? Not an airsoft that shoots plastic bb's? What is the most accurate gun on your store/website? I shoot at crows from up to 50 yards away, is that beyond it's reach? I already have a air rifle but I would like to get more shots off to at least scare them away.

[switchingtomac]

@Camaron47 50 yards is a bit far for any action shooting pistol, you would be better off with a rifle for hunting to  shot large birds like crows.

[LivingLaser47]

I have this gun, I absolutely love it and as a the first CO2 pistol it is truly awesome, I need some tips on how I would clean my pistols. I am also getting other pistols like the Umarex Sa177, Cybergun X-five or GSG whichever I will get first, and more in the future.

What would be the best to clean my air pistols with? A Stoeger Cleaning bore snake OR

Gamo 3PC cleaning set

[ThanhCuTi]

Holy shiet... looks just like my real PX4.

[switchingtomac]

@ThanhCuTi Yes - very close!

[travis199urkul]

this, cp99 compact , sa177 , or something else

I want the most realisticness posible and a high fps would help

[switchingtomac]

@travis199urkul All good, the PX4 is probably the most realistic and it shoots pellets which is nice.

[nikawoohoo19]

i love this gun but i wish it was more acurate please show a pull apart of the px4 storm

[CarnageInstrumentals]

i like the fact tht if ur ever in a bad situation, is tht this wud scare the shyt outta some1, i got the same piece an ppl always ask me if im strapped.

[switchingtomac]

@CarnageInstrumentals Scare some but maybe provoke others?

[CarnageInstrumentals]

@switchingtomac ya depends on wat kinda ppl, but hers my scenario: its dark an some1s robbin ur house, in the dark they wont see the fake lookin barrel, an they know about the make my day law too. but its definately powerful an cud probly do damage reguardless.

[397pollo]

i cant decide between this and the gamo pt85

[switchingtomac]

@397pollo This one is a replica of a real Beretta while the Gamo is not a replica of any gun in particular.

[shittysk8r]

you have porn hands

[switchingtomac]

@shittysk8r good to know...

[javyrmz]

@switchingtomac lol

[ssi1991]

how do you disassemble and reassemble it for maintenance?

[helluhpinoy]

do blowback pistols use up more CO2 than their non blowback counterparts?

[switchingtomac]

@helluhpinoy Yes they do.

[devilsswitchblade]

@switchingtomac honestly i don't like it i shot it at a glass cup 1 foot away nothing happened then i shot it with a daisy buck bb gun and it broke like that do you think a daisy buck bb is stronger than this?

[switchingtomac]

@devilsswitchblade Did you use pellets or BB's in the PX4, pellets will deform when they hit a hard object while BB's are hard and will break glass much better.

[devilsswitchblade]

@switchingtomac i used pellets

[switchingtomac]

@devilsswitchblade Tyr BB's, you will get much different results.

[sjones502]

Ooka thanks :) keep the gud videos goin !!

[sjones502]

Hey I'm thinking about getting the umarex sa177 ..do u think its a good gun ?

[switchingtomac]

@sjones502 Yes, a nice gun for the money lots of good points.

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 That's what it's all about!

[Mattprorods80]

is it normal that when i pull the slide on my px4 it is sort of "loose" and slightly wobbles (.1-.5mm) from left to right? Please answer fast.

[switchingtomac]

@Mattprorods80 Yes there is play on most blowback airguns. More then a standard gun. I think they do this to lesson the resistance as a blowback airgun does not have the force of a real gun.

[sjones502]

LOL nice vid I'm thinking about getting one

[switchingtomac]

@ironknucles99 Just passing it on is all ;)

[unboxingguru1]

do you now if you can get these in canada or if you can order them and have it shipped to canada

[switchingtomac]

@unboxingguru1 I sell them on my Canadian website for $97 for the PX4 Storm and $159 for the Recon version. So I ship within Canada no problem.

[007v3x]

@switchingtomac What's your canadian site?

[switchingtomac]

@007v3x replicaairguns(dot)com

[RetroGamer3]

@switchingtomac That's a good price. They want $200 for the same gun at

Canadian Tire.

[switchingtomac]

@RetroGamer3 Yes indeed!

[CommanderGahou]

Is this a safe website to buy from?Message me.

[switchingtomac]

@CommanderGahou It's my website so of course I am going to say yes...

[cyberwolf661]

hi, I bought one of these guns and after a while the magazine release became worn down and the magazine stopped staying inside the gun do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem

[alXLemaire]

Hi, I have a question why don't you recommend loading bb's in to the beretta px4 storm?

Thanks.

[switchingtomac]

@alXLemaire I think any gun that has a rifled barrel and can also shoot pellets, you should stick with pellets to get the best performance from the gun.

[Mattprorods80]

@alXLemaire bb's will damage the rifling in the barrel.

[bluesmangil]

I wrote a comment earlier but removed it because i missed wrote it, but generally I wanted to say was that I need help in deciding between the Umarex Beretta PX4 or the Umarex SA177. I like both but I like that fact that the SA177 slider locks into place, and the PX4 doesn't.

So what do you all think? Does it really matter?

[switchingtomac]

@bluesmangil It's not a big deal, the PX4 does shoot pellets too though. Both are nice.

[397pollo]

@bluesmangil the px4 has single and double action

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 That sounds about right ;)

[jackjeni123]

@MrEdb94 go to pyramidair

i asked them the same question in an email the're reply said that they can, but only guns under certain FPS this gun is under it

[MrEdb94]

do you ship to UK? if so how much is it?

[switchingtomac]

@MrEdb94 We ship worldwide, you can checkout the pricing in my Terms & Conditions section:

w w w (dot) replicaairguns (dot) com/terms-and-conditions/

[L1FTDR3SRCHGRP]

Would you choose this or the SA177?

[switchingtomac]

@L1FTDR3SRCHGRP BOth nice, hard choice, the SA177 is less expensive while the PX4 can shoot pellets?

[makaron370]

which is better, PX5 Storm or Elite2 ? Please respond. :D

[switchingtomac]

@makaron370 I like the PX4 , more metal, can shoot pellets too and has blowback.

[310sober]

does it come with the orange tip? if i were to buy it from walmart?

[switchingtomac]

@310sober I know ours do not have the red tip, Walmart should be the same.

[MrTornadoman97]

@310sober No, this is an AIRGUN. Not damn airsoft. So it does not come with an orange tip because this can seriously hurt someone with it's metal ammo!

[enarrais]

it can use any 4,5 pellet?

there is some risk of the pellet get stuck in the gun?

[musclecarfan95]

hi, can you disassemble this gun?

[switchingtomac]

@musclecarfan95 There is always a way, but it may require tools?

[Durandal999]

@musclecarfan95 Sorry to interrup but I must say this: DO NOT ATTEMP TO DISASSEMBLE AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DISASSEMBLED. I'm talking from experience, you may have areally hard time trying to get it back together, you may afect FPS and even loosing the entire gun. If it's not suposed to be disassembled manualy and easy, dont even try

[NoLaneRestrictions]

I just pick one up and it was $225 buddy. Thanks for your reviews.

[switchingtomac]

@NoLaneRestrictions I sell them in Canada online for $97 plus $17.99 shipping.

[NoLaneRestrictions]

@switchingtomac I havn't fired my PX4 Storm yet, but when I shake the gun up and down, I can hear the slide rattle a little, its normal right? I love all your videos man, you do such a great job!!!

[switchingtomac]

@NoLaneRestrictions There is a tiny bit of wobble in the slide that could cause a slight rattle when you shake it.

[NoLaneRestrictions]

@switchingtomac One last question, thanks so very much for your time, how do I go about oiling the slide rails, since the slide can't come off?

[switchingtomac]

@NoLaneRestrictions Just put a drop on each side where the slide moves back and forth, the oil will go in.

[XtremeConditioning]

Anyone who says the accuracy on this thing is good has never fired a decent gun (firearm or airgun). It only looks cool, but does not represent it's original version in the slightest. I dont even know how they could release a gun with accuracy this bad. I cant even tell you how impossible it is to keep this damn thing on target. My recommendation is to use this as a prop, the blowback does this great. Then, just add muzzle flash and shell casings, etc. But wtf this gun is so bad...

[switchingtomac]

@XtremeConditioning I have had people tell me it shoots horribly and then others say it shoots very accurately. Maybe it's time for a retest!

[Samimiamiv1]

@switchingtomac Hey I am looking for a pistol that shoots around 500 fps but I dont a cheap plastic one that wont last does anyone know of a pellet gun that is like this?

[switchingtomac]

@Samimiamiv1 Do you want a multi-shot or is single shot OK?

[Samimiamiv1]

@switchingtomac umm like semi automatic would be my preference

[MrMoe23q]

does it shoot out plastic or led

[JUNAID187]

what GR fps does it give 400fps with ?

[switchingtomac]

@JUNAID187 I am not sure, I generally use the mid grain pellets.

[tartredarrow]

That's pretty shitty accuracy. There's smooth bores that can do better than that.

[jmparag]

Whats a nice looking gun with a working slide release.

[switchingtomac]

@jmparag There are very many, most of them are BB gun versions that lock back when the last round is fired. It's hard to do with a rotary mag pellet gun.

[Durandal999]

Funny, i have this gun (the one i use to practice) and my slide is all black, not blued or grayish like yours

[superbert35]

the gun is rated at 380 or 400 fps.has anyone done a chronograph test with those game pba pellets?

[switchingtomac]

@superbert35 Would be interesting to see what the actual fps is with the lighter pellets?

[Jstudios24]

apparently you shoot better when u lose it.... 

[switchingtomac]

@Jstudios24 ??

[Jstudios24]

@switchingtomac @7:20



[Nyu727]

Does the slide on this gun lock back when you have used up all the BB/Pellet's?

[switchingtomac]

@Nyu727 No it does not so you need to count them off or you wastes some CO2

[raheemcharles]

if u have to recommend a gun for me between the Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm and the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback which one will u choose

[switchingtomac]

@raheemcharles Kind of like comparing between a smart car and an Escalade? The Desert eagle is, bigger more powerful, more accurate and more expensive. The PX4 is a good all around gun too.

[fagasoris123]

In other videos and reviews i have seen the gun looked all black. in this video it was black with kinda a greyish blueish slide is that just the lighting in the other videos or can you get it in diffrent colors?



[switchingtomac]

@fagasoris123 It does have a blackish-greyish-bluish slide. It's not your typical painted gun, almost like a chemical finish similar to bluing.

[MotoChefServices]

Just got one from bass pro and it was $119 usd. I think its a great pistol! I got it so my wife can practice and learn how to shoot. I have the real PX4 9mm that we will get out when she is ready. Its the same weight as the real gun and has the blow back that I want her to get use to. I just found it for $89 and I'm going to return the unopened one to bass pro and get $30 back!

[switchingtomac]

@MotoChefServices Yes, $119 in the US seems a bit high, I sell it in Canada for $97. Great gun to train on especially if you own the real 9mm!

[nickarry]

@j0rDaNNeWt0n no CO2 gun is illegal in UK.

if you are 18+ you are allowed to own one, and use on private property only. if you are over 21 you are allowed to own one and carry (covered up in your bag etc, and unloaded/unarmed) in public.

[foxbrosedu]

this pistol of the much problem?

[seriousbang]

@idrumtocod I know im not switchomatic but for $100 you could get a tanfoglio witness 1911 full metal that is blowback and gets about 312 fps

[6sixty4four]

@j0rDaNNeWt0n yes they are, no licesne or permit needed, just have to be over 18 to buy.

[deadsoul666100]

Can you still put in bbs.

[switchingtomac]

@deadsoul666100 Yes.

[switchingtomac]

@j0rDaNNeWt0n I'm not sure on your gun and non-gun laws?

[MrDobans13]

I shoot bbs through mine just fine. I actually think it shoots better with bbs than pellets

[switchingtomac]

@MrDobans13 Well they did make it to shoot both ;)

[Jordan9835]

would this hurt somebody if you shot them with it

[switchingtomac]

@Jordan9835 Hell Ya!

[myplaceoryours]

@Jordan9835 Why would you want to|

[MultiPatster]

i have this gun :D

[desmondlaugh]

Question I got the 30 dollar non blowback version to use for a photoshoot will it have the same look and feel thanks

[switchingtomac]

@desmondlaugh I don't know, I have not seen that one?

[redmonkey719]

also how long do u think it will take to ship to vncouver

[switchingtomac]

@redmonkey719 About 5 days

[redmonkey719]

@switchingtomac thanks what should i get cp99 compact recon version, or this, in ur opinion what one is better?

[switchingtomac]

@redmonkey719 Both fun guns, if you want to shoot pellets then get the PX4, if you don't need pellets then get the CP99 Compact.

[redmonkey719]

this or cp99 compact recon, which do you like better, and what has the harder kick

[switchingtomac]

@redmonkey719 Both about the same, I think the CP 99 Compact has more satisfied customers so I would say it is the better of the two if you don't need a pellet shooter.

[2011FORDRULES]

what pellit/bb gun do you recomend for under $100

[switchingtomac]

@2011FORDRULES You need to tell me what you are looking for, there are too many options.........

[mardyengel04]

that is deadly

[jojjo223]

can i use te pointed pellets instead of the rounded ones?? or do the rounded-tiped ones load better?

[switchingtomac]

@jojjo223 You can use just about anything if you make sure they are in the magazine good.

[589h]

can you give me a list of pellet slash bb pistor or just a bb pistol that locks back when its empty

[switchingtomac]

@589h Making a list like this would take a long time and I don't know all the guns... If you ask me about specific guns I will do my best to answer...

[589h]

@589h does the cp99 recon do it

[589h]

does the slide lock back when its empty 

[switchingtomac]

@589h Not on this one.

[yogggiii]

Back again...even the target that this guy shot...the shots are to the left of centre...actually a lousy group for shots that are actually aimed. He says it's a very good gun. NOT! A bugger to load the CO2 as well. Pay no attention to this review. You get about four good mags because the blow-back action expends more CO2.

[switchingtomac]

@yogggiii You'll notice in my review I mention that it is not the most accurate gun, it is an action plinker and a good replica of the PX4 if that is what someone is looking for. If you want accuracy this gun is not for you. Blowback guns always use more CO2 then non-blowback guns.

[myplaceoryours]

@switchingtomac & @yogggiii

I bought this gun and im happy with it, 4 mags of decent shots then the co2 dies off quite quickly, i can live with that, i can also score 1" groups at 7 yards easily, it's not the gun thats inacurate it's the shooter, the px4 kicks quite a bit on a new co2 so accuracy is in having the right stance and grip, beer cans 10 meters are no problem

[switchingtomac]

@myplaceoryours Thanks for letting us know this gun can get good results in the accuracy department, some people have not spoken very highly about it in this area....

[yogggiii]

The gun shoots 2 inches to the left and 2 inches high at 15 feed. Any more distance and the pellet will go wayyyy off. It's crap. Don't care what it looks like....when you have a gun, you want accuracy....simple as that. Don't waste your money on this thing.

[baronzl]

i'm the guy you convinced buying the desert eagle. _Now I bought a px4 storm but it fires 10 inches right from 8 yards . How can I fix it ?

[switchingtomac]

@baronzl Yikes, take it back and get another one! That's way off!

[EscapeArtist1901]

Hey I got a question what airsoft guns have a full metal frame instead of the plastic frame cause I'm looking into getting one is the beretta 92fs the only one that have a full metal Frame? Last question I assume the higher the price the gun is the more realistic ??

[switchingtomac]

@EscapeArtist1901 I don't review Airsoft guns, I review airguns (4.5mm Steel BB & Pellet) You may want to ask someone who reviews Airsoft guns this question.

[JurassicPark1993Unix]

@switchingtomac hello

im sorry i don't know how much is 450 fps in air pistol so can you tell me can you kill pigeon with it?

Thanks a lot
