![]() The trigger is very similar to other Beretta pistols which made it easy to get used to shooting. #rmr #trijiconrmr #rdo #carryoptics #reddots #px4compactcarry #compactcarry #beretta #berettapx4stormĪ post shared by Langdon Tactical Technology on at 5:13pm PDT.Ernest’s solution for mounting an RMR was one of the factors that pushed me over the edge on buying the gun, even if I never did the mod. More importantly, Langdon Tactical has figured out a way to mount a red dot by repurposing a modified Glock MOS plate. Earlier PX4 pistols were offered with glow in the dark 3-dot sights which were discontinued in 2010 in favor of white dot sights that no longer glowed. ![]() There are several options on the market for replacement sights with most of them being night sights if you desire a change. They do the job, but they are far from optimal. SightsĪs was the case with most handguns that hit the market in the early to mid 2000’s, the PX4 Compact came with white 3-dot sights. Beretta offers three sizes of magazine release as well as lower-profile slide release levers and safety levers. Beretta and Langdon Tactical both offer lower profile solutions, I just never got around to ordering the parts. ![]() Personally, I would have liked to see the PX4 Compact offered with lower profile controls that matched the magazine release from the factory. While the decocker lever and slide release could be considered slightly oversized for a “compact” (let’s be honest, this is more midsize) handgun, the magazine release is a bit on the small side. ![]() To combat the possibility of the pistol being unintentionally placed on safe when manipulating the slide, the safety/decocker on my pistol was converted to a decocker only. I did convert it to a G model by removing a spring and detent ball and found that I much preferred the G model configuration with a decocker only. The PX4 Storm that I bought was an F model which means that it is the traditional safety/decocker arrangement. Like I mentioned earlier, the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact has a slide-mounted safety/decocker like the Beretta 92FS. Some shooters report feeling a slight torque to the pistol in recoil, but I never noticed it should that be accurate. Since there is no free lunch, there is a downside. Instead of all of the energy being used to drive the slide back, some of that energy is spent rotating the barrel which results in a softer recoil impulse. Simply put (mostly because I am not an engineer) the rotating action of the barrel eats up some of the energy out of the recoil cycle. While it is easy to overlook, the rotating barrel is one of the coolest things about the PX4 Storm Compact. On the surface that might not mean a whole lot, but the rotating barrel means that the pistol shoots a bit softer than more traditional designs with the same ergonomics. Both the Beretta PX4 Compact and the PX4 Full-Size utilize an uncommon rotating barrel rather than the typical locking method used in your run of the mill Glock/Sig/CZ/1911.
