My question, though, is why didn't Beretta give the Storm a true pistol grip? Is it a tactical design, a legal thing?
I can't say for certain but probably counts as a thumbhole stock and therefore a more flexible platform in ban states.

5.56 NATO, with proper ammo selection, is actually less likely to over penetrate than 9x19. See the rifle forum reading library for several links on the issue.the 9 mm won't fly through your walls and kill the neighbor compared to a 5.56
Legal thing - the current Storm stock is a thumb hole stock, so it's not a pistol grip, detachable magazine "assault weapon" in the more restrictive states. I'm not sure if the Storm is made at Beretta USA, or at Beretta in Italy. If the latter, the thumb hole stock lets Beretta import it and avoid violating 922(r).My question, though, is why didn't Beretta give the Storm a true pistol grip?

Depends on why you're getting it. If you're buying it as a fighting weapon, yeah, I'd rather have it in .45 or .40, or .308, 12g or 5.56 or 7.62x39.Why not get this carbine in .40 or .45?
You're right, of course. I overstated my case. The point remains, though, that they're not the same thing, which is what I was trying to say.I believe that there is a correlation between "[stops]" and deaths. You do not have to have a 100% match between 2 events for a correlation to be present. For example a 50% correlation would imply that 50% of Stops would be Deaths. A correlation is present but it is not 1:1
Rifles arent just about range. 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 both hit really hard at close range, far harder than any pistol round.
Is it possible (for a gunsmith or someone who knows what they are doing) to simply cut off the piece that connects the grip to the rear stock?
Or shaking a clenched fist at someone. Any working gun is better than nothing. You don't necessarily have to kill your assailant. Sometimes brandishing your weapon is enough to cause an assailant to disengage.It sure as heck beats using a pointy stick covered in poo.
and the 86% of people that survived pistol wounds were shot once. i dont know about the rest of you, but an intruder in my house will not see the benefit of that narrow sample statistic.
