Yup… hit that like a deal like a Kennedy going for a ride with a campaign worker.
Ugh. Too bad the free magazine fits a Beretta. Who the hell would want that?
Isn’t a new pistol supposed to come with a magazine? Two, actually. And they’re supposed to come in the box, not a mail-in promotion.
As I understand it, this a 3rd mag in addition to the ones the gun comes with.
Welcome to high-level corporate decision making at gun companies.
“Smith & Wesson gave away two free mags with the M&P and it drove tons of new sales. If we give away ONE free mag with a gun that is nowhere near as popular to begin with, it will drive tons of new sales!”
I believe the internet meme for this is FAIL.
Pretty much. I have nothing against the Storm per se, but I also have no use for it since it’s not a great competition gun and there are better carry guns.
I have had zero issues with my Px4 storm since getting it… 500rds later and only basic cleaning, it still runs strong.
As far as a carry gun, to each their own. I am holding out for the “compact” and not the “microcompact” that is currently out there. Time (and funding) will tell.
I will say this, for carry, I still have my G26 with the Pearce grip extenision and like it. But, for a “full size” fun gun, which is just a tad smaller than the G17, its pretty darn nice.
One nice thing about the Px4 is that it has a fully supported barrel!!! (compared to the Glock)
There is nothing wrong with the Px4 Storm pistol, please don’t anyone read that in to what I’ve been saying here or elsewhere. I know guys that shoot them and love them, and it certainly has some excellent qualities.
That being said, it has not been a popular pistol for Beretta. When they first introduced it, they didn’t really know how to market it, and I can’t honestly say that they’ve gotten much better at it. Beretta for whatever reason doesn’t target the American competition market, and always seems to get the heebie-jeebies about outright marketing guns for concealed carry.
When will everybody learn?
That is a STANDARD capacity magazine.
Magazines come in three types:
1) Reduced capacity – those stupid 10 round things that the 1994 federal ban (and some current state laws) forced on everybody
2) Standard capacity – what the firearm was designed to take (whatever the capacity is)
3) High capacity – magazines that hold enough rounds for me to (usually) knock down all the steel plates in an IPSC/IDPA stage
