Army which exceeded the recommended pressures specified by NATO and by Beretta, but nonetheless provoked a modification in the M9 design to prevent slide failure from causing injuries. These failures included both military and civilian Beretta models with very high round counts and after investigation they were deemed the result of ammunition supplied by the U.S. military, questions were raised in a General Accounting Office report after an incident where a slide failure on a Beretta 92SB injured a Naval Special Warfare member and two more failures were later observed in additional testing. Prior to its widespread adoption by the U.S.
BERETTA M9 COMPACT FREE
Beretta is also offering, as part of the benefit, free counseling, legal, and financial advice to the survivors of the officer who is killed in the line of duty It's good for three years after the purchase. "Participate" means purchasing a Px4, and registering with the program. Finally Beretta’s patented SnapGrip Magazine Extender, extends the grip size down for a more secure grip.Īnnounced in late 2007, Project Allegiance has Beretta USA footing the bill for a $10,000 death benefit for any law enforcement officer who participates in the program. The magazine release button is both changeable (two sizes included) and reversible. The barrel is stainless steel, to help prevent corrosion from perspiration. īeretta is marketing the PX4sc as the most advanced subcompact sidearm in existence. It is intended for personal defense and law enforcement use with a focus on concealed carry. Light-weight polymer construction with steel inserts, a modular trigger group, Picatinny rail on the chin, a plastic speed loader and changeable backstrap options for the grip. The Px4 Storm Subcompact is a compact Px4 chambered in 9 mm and. The weapon also incorporates a Picatinny rail under the muzzle to allow flashlights, laser sights and other accessories to be attached. With short exposure to any kind of light, the night sights' luminescence lasts up to 30 minutes. Px4 features an interchangeable, luminescent 3-dot sight system (coated in Super-LumiNova) for use in dark or low-light situations. The Px4's design makes it impossible to assemble incorrectly from a field-stripped takedown. This allows easy access to the firing mechanism for cleaning. The entire hammer unit mechanism can be removed from the Px4, without the use of special tools, as a single group. The steel transfer block's cam pin is 5mm wide and 2mm deep. The 6-R rifling of the barrel generates counter-clockwise torque which is harnessed by the locking system to reduce the amount of pressure required from the rotating barrel lock's cam and pin system to effect unlocking. This allows the barrel to fully support the case. The magazine holds the top round directly behind the barrel's breech end so only a slight feed ramp is needed. It is a self-contained assembly, completely captured by the polymer guide. The slide spring is doubly captive, being inserted approximately an inch into the transfer block at one end and a receiving hole in the front of the slide at the other. The takedown pin of earlier models is replaced by a spring-loaded bar, accessed via frame recesses at both ends, which must be grasped and pulled down simultaneously to release the slide.

Unlike the Beretta 92/96/M9 series, the Px4's trigger guard is rounded for better concealed carry.
