Beretta PX4 Storm

[cm12385]

A friend of mine, first time pistol owner, long time shotgun/rifle owner, would like to buy a Beretta PX4 Sotrm in 0.45ACP.

I have showed him other firearms that I am familiar with like, H&K, Taurus, Glock, SIG, Springfield.

But I am not at all familiar with Beretta's. What do you all think?

Good, bad, indifferent?

I shot a compact in .40SW and thought it was ok. No other experience other than that.

They are not Mass. approved(yet)

not everyone lives in MA.

On a more serious note, I've sent a question to Beretta about the availability of Mass. compliant PX4. They answered me that the it is under development in Italy but they don't know when it will be ready

Maybe that's a sign of progress?

I received this from them in September:

Thank you for contacting Beretta Customer Support. At present, I don't know what the status of the introduction of the PX4 into Mass. is. NY Mass, CA MD an a couple others create tremendous obstycles in getting a gun approved. If you have follow up questions or need further assistance with this issue, please update this incident. Best regards, Beretta Customer Support

I'm sure this is the true intent of the laws in this state, not the "public safety" canard.

I have shot the 9mm one, and I loved it. the safety is a bit to get used to (little bit of a reach for me) but other than that, I thought it was pretty cool (more powerful than a 22lr, less costly than a .223)

Probably yes: they waited about month and a half to answer, so something really had to happen in Beretta
As I understand, they need to put a loaded chamber indicator or magazine safety that requires some redesign.
