ACCOKEEK, MD (October 08, 2007) — Beretta today announced that is has received documentation from the Italian ‘Banco di Prova’ that three Beretta PX4 Storm pistols had 30,000 rounds (10,000 per pistol) fired through them with ZERO defects during a specialized ballistic test conducted on behalf of the German State Police. The Italian Banco di Prova, an Italian proof house that oversees and certifies testing for firearms, did the actual testing last month.
This independent testing is further proof of how the Px4 Storm series of pistols truly represents the next generation of handguns, providing a new threshold of durability and reliability for the Law Enforcement and Defense communities.
“The Px4 Storm not only offers Law Enforcement professionals incredible versatility by allowing the operator to fit the gun to his or her hands through any combination of backstraps, controls size and location, actions and calibers, but this pistol offers unprecedented reliability and durability regardless of the Law Enforcement operator and conditions,” stated Matteo Recanatini, Marketing Manager, LE/Defense Division. “While we are very pleased with the results of the international testing, we are not surprised by them. This is a very reliable firearm.”
Beretta established in 1526, is the oldest industrial dynasty in the world tracing its roots through 16 generations of continuous family ownership. Firearms bearing the Beretta name have been sold for almost 500 years. Beretta USA Corp. was founded in 1977 and supplies the standard sidearm to the U.S. Armed Forces. Today Beretta manufactures, distributes and markets a complete line of firearms, accessories and apparel. Beretta also owns and operates six retail Beretta Gallery stores worldwide.

For anyone not wanting a "hammer-less gun" but one with a hammer and DA/SA with a safety, or with a decocker-only, or a DAO, at a mid price range for a NIB gun, make sure and take a look and feel of one of these beauty's.
I've only got 5300 rounds thru my Px4 40cal, but they have flown to target without ANY failures.
Also, one of the EASIEST guns to field strip, inspect, clean, reassemble, out there, bar none.
And, they are very forgiving in the area of felt-recoil with the rotating barrels, along with lack of cleaning, for an average proud owner.
Not like some of the range rentals that go a month ( maybe 1000's of rounds, and some being cheap reloads/dirty) before they're looked at, really cleaned, which as I said, takes but 1 min to disassemble, inspect, (especially the rotating barrel groove/slot and the main return spring housing that clks into the groove) to wipe clean and either re-oil, or apply some white gun grease, and a few run-throughs of the barrel with a bore-snake, and this gun is good to go.
FYI,
