For shooters who demand a reliable, full-size semi-automatic pistol for both range work and defensive applications, attention to construction, controls, and accessory readiness matters. This review covers a well-maintained example that balances duty-ready features with field-friendly ergonomics.

BERETTA PX4 STORM

This specific pistol (SN: PY91047) is a modern-production .40 S&W example with a 4″ barrel. It shows a bright bore with strong rifling and an applied finish and polymer frame both noted as very good. The build quality is consistent with Beretta’s standards and the package comes equipped with a Streamlight TLR-4 laser/light combo—making it ready for low-light drills and immediate defensive mounting.

Ergonomics, Controls, and Handling

The PX4 Storm’s full-size frame provides a stable sight radius and controllable recoil impulse for the .40 S&W chambering. The pistol features double-action operation with ambidextrous safety/decocker controls, which allow shooters to choose a consistent carry mode while retaining left- and right-hand usability. Those ambidextrous controls and the polymer frame contribute to rapid follow-up shots and a comfortable index for extended sessions at the range.

Caliber and Ballistics Suitability

.40 S&W remains a popular defensive caliber for those seeking a balance between terminal performance and manageable recoil in a compact/ full-size platform. In a 4″ barrel, expect reliable expansion from quality defensive loads while maintaining sufficient velocity for barrier negotiation and effective stopping power in close-quarters scenarios. For range training, .40 S&W is costlier than 9mm but rewards with solid power delivery for skills practice that simulates defensive loads.

Accessory Integration and Condition

The included Streamlight TLR-4 laser/light combo is a practical addition for duty or home defense use; the PX4’s accessory rail accepts the unit without modification, reducing the need for aftermarket work. SN: PY91047 notes and the listing condition (very good) indicate a well-maintained firearm with a bright bore and strong rifling—important checks for longevity and accuracy. Priced at $699.99, this package offers a complete, ready-to-shoot option that avoids the typical extra cost of adding a weaponlight later. View product details and pricing
