BASIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING: PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE HANDLING YOUR FIREARM. WARNING: FIREARMS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR DEATH, IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY. THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RULES ARE AN IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT FIREARM SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. 1. NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE TO SHOOT. Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at any part of your body or at another person. This is especially important when loading or unloading the firearm. When you are shooting at a target, know what is behind it. Some bullets can travel over a mile. If you miss your target or if the bullet penetrates the target, it is your responsibility to ensure that the shot does not cause unintended injury or damage.
2. ALWAYS TREAT A FIREARM AS IF IT WERE LOADED. Never assume that a firearm is unloaded. The only certain way to ensure that a firearm has the chamber(s) empty is to open the chamber and visually and physically examine the inside to see if a round is present.
Removing or unloading the magazine will not guarantee that a firearm is unloaded or cannot fire. Shotguns and rifles can be checked by cycling or removing all rounds and by then opening and inspecting the chamber so that a visual inspection of the chamber for any remaining rounds can be made.
3. STORE YOUR FIREARM SO THAT CHILDREN CANNOT GAIN ACCESS TO IT. It is your responsibility to ensure that children under the age of 18 or other unauthorized persons do not gain access to your firearm. To reduce the risk of accidents involving children, unload your firearm, lock it and store the ammunition in a separate locked location. Please note that devices intended to prevent accidents - for example, cable locks, chamber plugs, etc, - may not prevent use or misuse of your firearm by a determined person. Firearm storage in a steel gun safe may be more appropriate to reduce the likelihood of intentional misuse of a firearm by an unauthorized child or person.
4. NEVER SHOOT AT WATER OR AT A HARD SURFACE. Shooting at the surface of water or at a rock or other hard surface increases the chance of ricochets or fragmentation of the bullet or shot, which can result in the projectile striking an unintended or peripheral target.
5. KNOW THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE USING, BUT REMEMBER: SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURES. Never rely solely on a safety device to prevent an accident. It is imperative that you know and use the safety features of the particular firearm you are handling, but accidents can best be prevented by following the safe handling procedures described in these safety rules and elsewhere in the product manual. To further familiarize yourself with the proper use of this or other firearms, take a Firearms Safety Course taught by an expert in firearms use and safety procedures.

6. PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR FIREARM. Store and carry your firearm so that dirt or lint does not accumulate in the working parts. Clean and oil your firearm, following the instructions provided in this manual, after each use to prevent corrosion, damage to the barrel or accumulation of impurities which can prevent use of the gun in an emergency. Always check the bore and chamber(s) prior to loading to ensure that they are clean and free from obstructions. Firing with an obstruction in the barrel or chamber can rupture the barrel and injure you or others nearby. In the event you hear an unusual noise when shooting, stop firing immediately, engage the manual safety
and unload the firearm. Make sure the chamber and barrel are free from any obstruction, like a bullet blocked inside the barrel due to defective or improper ammunition.
7. USE PROPER AMMUNITION. Only use factory-loaded, new ammunition manufactured to industry specifications: CIP (Europe and elsewhere), SAAMI (U.S.A.). Be certain that each round you use is in the proper caliber or gauge and type for the particular firearm. The caliber or gauge of the firearm is clearly marked on the barrels of shotguns and on the slide or barrel of pistols. The use of reloaded or remanufactured ammunition can increase the likelihood of excessive cartridge pressures, case-head ruptures or other defects in the ammunition that can cause damage to your firearm and injury to yourself or others nearby.
8. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES AND EARPLUGS WHEN SHOOTING. The chance that gas, gunpowder or metal fragments will blow back and injure a shooter who is firing a gun is rare, but the injury that can be sustained in such circumstances can be severe, including the possible loss of eyesight. A shooter must always wear impact resistant shooting glasses when firing any firearm. Earplugs or other high-quality hearing protectors help reduce the chance of hearing damage from shooting.
9. NEVER CLIMB A TREE, FENCE OR OBSTRUCTION WITH A LOADED FIREARM. Open and empty the chamber(s) of your firearm and engage the manual safety before climbing or descending a tree or before climbing a fence or jumping over a ditch or other obstruction. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person. Always unload a firearm, visually

and physically check to see that the magazine, loading mechanism and chamber are unloaded, and action is open before handing it to another person. Never take a firearm from another person unless it is unloaded, visually and physically checked to confirm it is unloaded, and the action is open.
10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR JUDGMENT/REFLEX IMPAIRING MEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING. Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication that can impair motor reactions or judgment, do not handle a firearm while you are under the influence of the medication.
11. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle (chamber empty, magazine empty). Hunters and target shooters should load their firearm only at their destination, and only when they are ready to shoot. If you carry a firearm for selfprotection, leaving the chamber unloaded can reduce the chance of an unintentional discharge. 12. LEAD WARNING. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
WARNING: It is YOUR responsibility to know and abide by Federal, State and Local laws governing the sale, transportation and use of firearms in your area. WARNING: This firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone else! Always be extremely careful with your firearm. An accident is almost always the result of not following basic firearm safety rules. Especially for U.S. consumers: For information about Firearm Safety Courses in your area, please visit the National Rifle Associations web site at www.nra.org.

DESCRIPTION

The new Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact pistol is the most advanced expression of technological and aesthetic features in a semiautomatic sidearm. Built around a modular concept that a pistol can be adapted to different needs and modes of operation, without compromising ergonomics and the renowned Beretta reliability and performance, the PX4 Storm Sub-Compact emphasizes power, ease of handling, performance and reliability. The PX4 Storm was redesigned to minimize the overall size and weight of the pistol, while maintaining high magazine capacity, identical operating controls, significant parts interchangeability and common magazines (the full-size magazines will fit the SubCompact). Manufactured in three calibers, the PX4 Storm Sub-Compact uses a cam operated, tilt-barrel, locked breech barrel system. The light yet durable frame employs modern thermoplastic technology through the use of fiberglass reinforced technopolymer. Modular structure, ergonomics and interchangeability of parts make the PX4 Storm Sub-Compact the ideal firearm for lawenforcement use, as well as for personal defense.

Skeletonized hammer (models F and G) (Fig. 1-2/D). The distinctive hammer is significantly faster and lighter. Interchangeable, luminescent Superluminova sights (Fig. 1/H). The high definition 3-dot sight system is coated in Superluminova, a special photosensitive material. Short exposure to any kind of light, is enough to ensure long lasting luminescence of up to 30 minutes. Rear and front sights can be removed for replacement with other types of sights. Simple field stripping, cleaning and re-assembly (Fig. 1-2/I). The pistol is designed for extremely quick and simple field stripping and to avoid casual or involuntary disassembly. Reassembly is easy and accidental misassembly of parts is prevented by the distinctive design.
ERGONOMIC, MODULAR FEATURES
NOTICE: The numbers in the figures refer to the photos on pages 11 and 12. Technopolymer frame (Fig. 1/C). By using corrosion-resistant fiberglass reinforced technopolymer , Beretta has developed a light and technically advanced pistol with an extremely modern, ergonomic line. The rounded, snag free surfaces of the pistol ensure trouble-free insertion and holster extraction. The rounded trigger guard ensures, correct hand firing position The pistol comes with a standard Picatinny rail (MIL STD 1913) under the barrel (Fig. 1-2/M) for convenient mounting of a laser device, flashlight or other type of accessory. Ergonomic and modular grip (Fig. 1-2/N). The ergonomic frame features an optimal grip angle for automatic acquisition of the line of sight. The rear upper part of the grip is curved and recessed to snugly fit and protect the shooters hand. Both the front and the rear of the grip feature a comfortable checkered surface which, helps prevent slippage when held. Thanks to a newly patented modular system, the pistol adapts to different hand sizes with interchangeable back-straps of different thickness and configuration for individualized performance. In addition to the standard back-strap (medium), a slim back-strap for small hands and an oversized one for large hands, is included with the pistol. Ambidextrous and interchangeable manual safety lever (Fig. 1-2/A). The manual safety/hammer decocking lever (model F) and the hammer decocking lever (model G) is positioned on both sides of the slide for easy access by all shooters. Reversible and interchangeable magazine release button (Fig. 1-2/O). The newly designed magazine release button can be mounted on either side depending on shooter preference. The standard button (small) can be easily replaced by either the Large or Combat (extended size) accessory buttons. Interchangeable slide catch (Fig. 1/C). The slide catch may be replaced with the extended profile configuration.
Newly designed slide (Fig. smooth and offer snag-proof from its holster. The front facilitate slide operation and

LOAD CHECK

At various points in this manual you will be instructed to visually check to be certain your Px4 Storm pistol is unloaded. This should become second nature to you, as you should: Never assume that a firearm is unloaded (even a gun that is new and in its original packaging). Never point or push a firearm toward yourself or another person. Always visually check to see that the chamber is unloaded. Remove the magazine and block the slide in the open position before handing the pistol to another person. Never take or pull this pistol from another person unless the magazine has been removed, the slide blocked in the open position and the chamber has been visually checked to confirm it is unloaded. To visually check to be certain your pistol is unloaded carefully follow the steps below. NOTICE: The numbers in the figures refer to the photos on pages 2 and 11.
WARNING: Keep your finger OFF THE TRIGGER and the barrel pointed in a SAFE direction. Remove the magazine by pushing the magazine release button (Fig. 9). Retract the slide. Visually inspect the cartridge chamber to ensure that it is empty. The chamber is empty when no cartridge is visible when looking into the open chamber (Fig. 10). Releasing the slide when a magazine is not in the pistol will automatically close the slide. Always keep your finger away from the ejection port. To keep the slide in the open position, without the magazine in the pistol, fully retract the slide and press the slide catch upward with your thumb (Fig. 1/C) and release the slide. The slide will be blocked in the open position. The slide will remain open when an empty magazine is inserted or when the slide catch is pressed upwards. If the pistol is unloaded, proceed to the following step, otherwise refer to the procedure: UNLOADING THE PISTOL. Gently move the slide to the closed position. If the slide is blocked in the open position by the slide catch or by an empty magazine inserted in the pistol, press the slide catch downward to close the slide (Fig. 11). WARNING: Always keep your finger away from the ejection port. WARNING: In F and G models the hammer remains in the cocked position. When you are certain that the firearm is unloaded, decock the hammer by pushing the manual safety/hammer decocking lever for F version (the safety remains engaged) and the hammer decocking lever for G version (the lever returns to the firing position) down all the way. On the D configuration, the hammer automatically returns to the decocked position by following the slide forward.
BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS CHECK
If you believe the barrel might be obstructed, disassemble pistol and look down barrel. Check the barrel to be sure there are no obstructions in the chamber and bore. Catastrophic failure can result if another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel. Follow the field stripping operations in the following paragraph and disassemble the pistol. After disassembly, look down the barrel from the muzzle (or front end) so that you can see completely through the barrel to make sure no obstruction exists. If an obstruction in the barrel is detected, a qualified gunsmith Must remove the obstruction and inspect the pistol before it can be fired. Reassemble the pistol by following the procedures given in the appropriate section of this manual.

WARNING: Carefully inspect each cartridge before it is loaded in the magazine. Be certain the cartridge cases are not split, deformed, and that the cartridges do not possess any other dents or defects. This warning even applies to factory ammunition). Do not fire old ammunition. Primers, powder, cartridge cases, and bullets can deteriorate with time and cause damage to the firearm, or injury to the shooter or others.
WARNING: The extended use of +P or +P+ ammunition may decrease component part service life expectancy. DO NOT use sub-machine gun ammunition because the chamber pressure may reach or exceed proof load pressure. Lead bullets have a tendency to cause bore leading, which may dramatically increase the discharge pressure. Be sure to remove all chamber and bore lead accumulation after each use. DO NOT shoot cartridges with jacketed bullets through a barrel previously fired with lead bullets before the bore is thoroughly deleaded.

DRY FIRING/DUMMY ROUNDS

Dry firing is defined as firing a firearm with no ammunition in the chamber. Long term dry firing your Beretta Px4 Storm pistol may
result in damage to the firing pin. Snap caps (inert chamber inserts that allow a firearm to be dry-fired without damaging the action) are available at most gun stores for those who wish to practice firing without live ammunition. CAUTION: If you want to practice shooting your pistol without using live ammunition (called dry firing), insert an appropriate snap cap into the chamber to cushion the fall of the firing pin and reduce the chance of firing pin breakage. Snap cap cartridges with spring loaded primers are ideal. The Snap cap cartridges with empty primer pockets are suitable for loading/unloading practice but DO NOT PROTECT the firing pin during dry firing.

LOADING

WARNING: Whenever a live round is in the chamber, this pistol can fire, even if the magazine is empty or has been removed. WARNING: Before loading the firearm, become familiar with the following loading procedures without the use of ammunition. Never handle a loaded firearm until you are fully familiar with the loading procedures. Always point the firearm in a safe direction. WARNING: Always keep your finger away from the trigger whenever you do not intend to fire. Make sure the pistol is unloaded. See paragraph LOAD CHECK. WARNING: LOAD THE CHAMBER ONLY WHEN READY TO FIRE. NOTICE: The numbers in the figures refer to the photos on pages 2, 12 and 44.

LOADING THE MAGAZINE
WARNING: Be sure that you have the correct cartridges for your pistol. To load the magazine, remove it from the pistol by depressing the magazine release button. (Fig. 9) Hold the magazine in one hand. With the other hand, place a cartridge on the magazine follower in front of the lips at the top

of the magazine. Press the cartridge down onto the follower and slide the cartridge completely under the lips until it is lodged fully inside the magazine body (Fig. 19). Repeat process until magazine is fully loaded. The holes on the back of the magazine allow for visual counting of cartridges. CAUTION: Do not try to force more than the maximum number of rounds indicated for your particular pistol into the magazine. An overloaded magazine may not function properly.
LOADING THE PISTOL AND THE FIRING CHAMBER
WARNING: Beretta assumes no responsibility for any injury or property damage resulting from improper or careless handling, intentional or accidental discharge of the firearm. WARNING: Be sure that the obstruction check has been completed prior to loading. WARNING: Point the firearm in a safe direction. Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot and are sure of your target and backstop. The firing chamber is the portion of the barrel into which the cartridge is fed. The firing chamber may be loaded in one of three ways: 1. LOADING FROM MAGAZINE WARNING: Always engage the manual safety/hammer decocking lever (model F) by completely pushing the safety lever down all the way in order to cover the red warning dot (Fig. 6). The red dot is visible when the manual safety is disengaged and the firearm is ready to fire (Fig. 5). Completely push the loaded magazine into the pistol grip to insure catch engagement. Pull back the slide and release it. The slide will automatically pick up a cartridge from the top of the magazine and feed it into the chamber (Fig. 20). 2. DIRECT CHAMBER LOADING WARNING: Always engage the manual safety/hammer decocking lever (model F) by completely pushing the safety lever down all
the way in order to cover the red warning dot (Fig. 6). The red dot is visible when the manual safety is disengaged and the firearm is ready to fire (Fig. 5). Retract the slide. The slide remains open when an empty magazine is inserted or if the slide catch is pushed upwards. Insert the round in the chamber through the ejection port (Fig. 20). Press the slide catch to close the slide (Fig. 11). WARNING: The model F pistol is now CHAMBER LOADED WITH HAMMER DECOCKED AND SAFETY ENGAGED (Fig. 6). Keep your finger away from the trigger whenever you do not intend to fire. The manual safety is merely a mechanical device and is in no way a substitute for the Basic Safety Rules of firearm handling. The model G pistol is now CHAMBER LOADED WITH HAMMER COCKED. Decock the hammer by rotating the decocking lever downward. These versions do not have a manual safety. The lever returns to the firing position. Keep your finger away from the trigger whenever you do not intend to fire. The model D pistol is now CHAMBER LOADED WITH HAMMER DECOCKED. These versions do not have a manual safety (Fig. 3). WARNING: Keep your finger away from the trigger whenever you do not intend to fire. CAUTION: Beretta Px4 Storm pistols are equipped with an automatic safety, which prevents firing pin protrusion beyond the breech face. This safety is overcome only by trigger pull. 3. AS LONG AS THERE IS AMMUNITION IN THE MAGAZINE, A PISTOL WHICH IS LOADED AND FIRED, WILL AUTOMATICALLY PICK UP THE NEXT ROUND AND FEED IT INTO THE FIRING CHAMBER. To replace a round which has been chambered from the magazine; (remember that you are handling a loaded firearm with a live round in the chamber): Check that the manual safety/hammer decocking lever is engaged (model F) (Fig. 6).

UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE

To unload the magazine, grasp it with one hand around the magazine box, bottom down and front end forward. With the tip of the thumb firmly press down on the cartridge rim and push towards the front of magazine box. As the cartridge moves forward, tip it slightly upward with the index finger. Repeat until the magazine is unloaded.

FIRING

WARNING: Beretta assumes no responsibility for any injury or property damage resulting from improper or careless handling, intentional or accidental discharge of the firearm. WARNING: Be certain the firearm is pointed in a SAFE direction. Never put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot. Never disengage the manual safety lever (model F) unless you intend to shoot. WARNING: Always wear high-quality eye and ear protection when firing any firearm. When firing any firearm, be certain that others near-by are wearing high-quality eye and ear protection and are to the rear of the shooter. NOTICE: The numbers in the figures refer to the photos on pages 2, 12 and 44. Insert the magazine into the pistol and the round into the firing chamber by following the previously given instructions. Check that the manual safety is engaged model F (safety lever rotated downward and red warning dot covered) (Fig. 6). The hammer automatically lowers in complete safety. On model G decock the hammer (if cocked) by pressing the decocking lever downward. The lever will return to the ready to fire position (Fig. 3).
WARNING: The manual safety is merely a mechanical device and is in no way a substitute for the Basic Safety Rules of firearm handling. WARNING: Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot and are sure of your target and backstop. Without placing the finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard, point the pistol at the intended target and aim the pistol by aligning the front and rear sights on the target. Point the sight at 6 o'clock in the center of the target. The front sight should be in focus, the target and the rear sight slightly blurred or out of focus.
WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FIRE:
Disengage the manual safety by pushing the safety lever up all the way (F model). Rotating the lever in this way restores the connection between the trigger and the sear. The red warning dot indicates that the safety is off when the safety lever is rotated completely upward (Fig. 5, 7 and 8). Models G and D are always in position TO FIRE! WARNING: THE PISTOL IS NOW READY TO FIRE. Place your index finger inside the trigger guard. WARNING: Ensure that fingers or other parts of the hands and the face are kept away from the recoiling slide. Not respecting this warning can lead to serious injury since, during the firing cycle, the slide recoils backwards violently and with great energy. Ensure that the other hand is kept away from the muzzle of the barrel. Gently squeeze the trigger, being careful not to upset the alignment of the front and rear sights. THE PISTOL WILL FIRE. WARNING: - Px4 Storm models F and G: When the hammer is decocked or in the half-cocked position, the pull on the trigger first cocks the hammer and then releases it to strike the firing pin. This firing mode is called double action. When the hammer is cocked, pulling the trigger releases the hammer, allowing it to strike the firing pin. This firing mode is called single action. After the first shot the pistol will always fire in the single action mode. - Px4 Storm model D: These models are designed to fire in double action only. The hammer never stays cocked; allowing the slide to move forward to rest in the decocked position. The discharge will recoil the slide which, in turn, will eject the fired cartridge case, cock the hammer and activate the recoil spring. Then the slide will automatically close, feeding the next cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. WARNING: THE PISTOL IS STILL CHAMBER LOADED, COCKED AND READY TO FIRE AGAIN. Keep your finger away from the

trigger whenever you do not intend to fire and engage the manual safety if present. When the last round has been fired the slide remains open (Fig. 21). To fire again, remove the empty magazine and insert a loaded one. Press the slide catch to close the slide and to load the chamber (Fig. 11).
WARNING: THE HAMMER IS COCKED (models F and G). When you have completed shooting, remove the magazine, check that the firing chamber is empty and close the slide by pressing the slide catch. Decock the hammer by pressing the manual safety/hammer decocking lever (model F) and the hammer decocking lever (model G). In model D, the hammer is already decocked. WARNING: Always unload the firearm immediately after shooting is completed. Never store a loaded firearm. To store the pistol see the paragraph STORAGE. If while firing the trigger is pulled and the firearm does not immediately fire: CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY! Keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction in the event a hang-fire has occurred. A hang-fire occurs when there is a delay in a cartridges ignition. With the pistol pointed in a SAFE direction, wait one (1) full minute. After one (1) full minute has elapsed, completely unload the firearm by following the unloading instructions in this manual. Carefully inspect your ammunition. Immediately refer to a qualified gunsmith if the firing pin indent on a fired cartridges primer is light, off-center or does not exist. Following the disassembly instructions given in the manual, field strip the pistol and look down the barrel from the muzzle (or front) end to make sure that no obstruction exists. If a barrel obstruction is detected, a qualified gunsmith must remove the obstruction and inspect the pistol before it can be fired.
WARNING: If another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel, catastrophic failure can result. If, while firing, you hear a change in the sound of a fired cartridge, or feel a change in the amount of recoil, or detect any other irregularity: CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY! Keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction. A squib load may have occurred. A squib occurs when a cartridge fires, but with insufficient force to drive the bullet out of the barrel. This can result in a dangerous bore obstruction. WARNING: If another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel, a catastrophic failure can result. With the gun pointed in a SAFE direction, completely unload the firearm by following the unloading instructions in this manual. Following the disassembly instructions given in the manual, field strip the pistol and look down the barrel from the muzzle (or front) end to make sure that no obstruction exists. If a barrel obstruction is detected, a qualified gunsmith must remove the obstruction and inspect the pistol before it can be fired. Carefully inspect your ammunition. WARNING: Never attempt to reuse or fire ammunition that did not fire the first time. Dispose of unfired or damaged ammunition properly, per the ammunition manufacturers recommendation.

MAINTENANCE

The firearm should be cleaned as soon as possible after firing or at least once every month. Use only high-quality, commercially available firearm cleaning solvents and cleaning equipment. Field strip the pistol as indicated in the appropriate section of this manual.
WARNING: Excess oil and grease obstructing the bore, even partially, is very dangerous when firing and may cause barrel rupture and serious injury to the shooter and bystanders. Never spray or apply oil to the cartridges. Use lubricants properly. You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearm.

BARREL

Spray a cleaning brush with gun oil. Insert the brush into the barrel from the chamber and scrub the chamber and bore thoroughly. If necessary, first clean the bore with a gun solvent. Dry the chamber and bore by pushing a cotton patch through the chamber and bore with the brush. Repeat with a new patch until it emerges clean. CAUTION: Do not push the cleaning brush from the muzzle end towards the chamber if the barrel is still assembled on the pistol. Cleaning the barrel from the breech (chamber) end will avoid damaging the muzzle or bore. Clean the barrel locking lug with a cotton cloth soaked in gun oil; If necessary use the supplied brush. Lightly oil the inside of the barrel by passing a clean cotton cloth soaked in gun oil through it. Lightly oil the barrel locking lug and the bore. Lightly oil the outside of the barrel.
Clean the slide with a cloth soaked in gun oil paying particular attention to the breech face, the extractor, the slide rails, the locking shoulders and locking recesses. If necessary, use a cleaning brush. Dry slide surfaces with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the slide.
RECOIL SPRING AND SPRING GUIDE ASSEMBLY
Lightly oil the recoil spring and the spring guide assembly with gun oil. After extensive use it may be necessary to first clean these parts using a cleaning brush and gun oil.
Clean the frame surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Using a cloth lightly soaked in gun oil, clean the areas of the hammer, the ejector, and the slide rails. If necessary, use a cleaning brush. Carefully dry the parts and lightly oil the slide rails on the frame.

MAGAZINE

Make sure the magazine is thoroughly clean and that the follower slides easily downward if pressed. If necessary, using gun oil, lightly oil the internal walls of the magazine box. Dry the internal walls of the magazine box with a cloth. Do not leave any oil in the magazine. CAUTION: Do not apply excess oil.

Px4 Storm Sub-Compact Pistol
MAXIMUM FIREPOWER; MINIMUM SIZE.
The Beretta Px4 Storm Sub-Compact pistol is the most advanced sub-compact sidearm of its kind. Built around Berettas latest Px4 modular technology, the Px4 Storm Sub-Compact emphasizes maximum firepower in an ergonomic package while maintaining the same ease of handling and reliability Beretta pistols are famous for. Available in two calibers (9 mm and.40 S&W), the Px4 Storm Sub-Compact uses a very reliable locked breech and tilt barrel system, providing a more compact and lighter weight system. The light, yet durable frame employs modern thermoplastic technology through the use of glass fiber-reinforced techno polymer. Also featured is an all-stainless steel barrel, which requires less maintenance and is corrosion resistant, a highly desirable feature on a gun worn close to perspiring bodies as in law enforcement work. The Px4 Storm comes in four trigger/operation modes (F model is shown) for a variety of preferences. (See chart in line 12 on page seven for more information) This Px4 Storm pistol also features small, medium, or large back straps (included) and three different sized magazine release buttons (optional). This modular structure, the ergonomics, and interchangeability of parts make the Px4 Storm Sub-Compact ideal for concealed carry, personal protection and law enforcement use.

Actual Size

92FS Pistol
For over twenty years, the Beretta 92 pistol has kept Americans safe. Law enforcement and military officers across the United States have relied upon the street tested and battle proven design of the 92. The legendary Beretta 92 pistol has earned its reputation as the most tested and trusted personal defense weapon in military history. Preferred by a multi-national roster of military and law enforcement agencies, the 92, also known as the U.S. Militarys M9, must pass a battery of more than 3,000 quality control checks and measures, including complete interchangeability of parts, before leaving the U.S. factory.

OFFICIAL SIDEARM OF US MILITARY FOR OVER 20 YEARS
The 92 semiautomatic pistols operate on a short recoil, delayed blowback system, which yields faster cycle times and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. Each pistol features a lightweight, forged frame made from aircraft quality aluminum alloy. The open top slide virtually eliminates jamming and stovepiping, and allows the operator to easily load one cartridge at a time should the magazine be lost or damaged. The 92 pistols feature unique safety refinements. This double/single action pistol features an external ambidextrous manual safety that also functions as a decocking lever. A firing pin block secures the firing pin. The chamber-loaded indicator is visible and can be felt by touch.

M9A1 Pistol

The Beretta M9A1 evolved from the base design of the battle tested and battle proven M9 pistol, with input from military and law enforcement agencies throughout the world. Developed to meet the demanding requirements of the United States Marine Corps the M9A1 incorporates the established reliability and performance of the M9 with added features needed for the ever-changing missions of peacekeeping forces. The frame of the M9A1 has a MIL-SPEC-1913 (Picatinny) rail for rapid attachment of tactical lights and laser aiming devices. The radical checkering of the front and back straps ensures a firm grip in both wet or dry shooting conditions. The magazine well has an aggressive bevel to facilitate fast tactical reloads in combat situation. The 3-dot sights allow for quick acquisition of the target. The non-reflective black matte of Berettas proprietary Bruniton finish provides superior corrosion resistance. The chrome lined barrel has a deeply recessed combat muzzle crown that protects the rifling. The newest development for the M9A1 is the specially designed, sand resistant, PVD-coated magazine. The PVD coating reduces friction while the design of the tube reduces the damaging effect of sand allowing for excellent reliability and function of the M9A1 in desert or other extreme conditions. Two sand resistant magazines are included with each M9A1 pistol.

Our sand-resistant 15-round magazine has been engineered to deliver maximum performance and reliability in environments where sand and other extreme conditions are an issue. Each Beretta sand-resistant magazine is PVD (Powder Vacuum Deposition) coated. This coating is also assisted by a patented vertical groove in the magazine body which allows sand and debris a place to go as well as pass by the shot column where it will not interfere with function. Also, the vertical groove works with an improved follower that was designed to keep the shot column surface area to a minimum which greatly reduces friction. This is the magazine that is included with every M9A1 pistol which was chosen as the official sidearm of the U.S. Marine Corps. The Beretta sand-resistant magazine can be used in any Beretta 92 series and M9 series pistol and is available in 200 unit bulk packages.

Sub-Compact Pistols Bobcat and Tomcat
When police officers or concealed carry permit holders look for the ultimate in concealability, they look to the Beretta Tomcat in.32 Auto and the Bobcat in.25 Auto and.22 Long Rifle. These doubleaction pistols many be tiny, but theyre reliable defensive arms. The same dedication to advanced design, uncompromising quality and strict quality control that make the 92F, Cougar and Cheetah such international standouts is found in all Beretta small caliber, pocket-size pistols. Simplicity, safety and practical use are their best qualities.

21 BOBCAT

User-friendly design is common to all Beretta small frames. The exclusive tip-up barrel allows the user to easily load a round directly into the chamber. It also assists in the safe clearing of the pistol by allowing a live round to be easily removed from the chamber and the bore quickly checked. Jamming and stovepiping problems are virtually eliminated by the open slide design shared by all small frame Berettas. Keeping an eye on quality helps keep Beretta small caliber semi-automatics out front. Beretta pistols in the 3000 and 21 Series utilize the toughest of forgings for their barrels, while slides are fashioned from solid steel bar stock. Frames are machined from solid aluminum forgings. The Inox (stainless) versions utilize the finest materials, difficult to machine but exceptionally corrosion resistant and durable.

FMS SALES

October 2009 If an FMS (Foreign Military Sale) customer wants to buy Beretta Model 92FS pistols under Beretta U.S.A.s contract with the U.S. Army for such, how does the FMS customer do so? The mechanism is as follows: Step 1 Either the MOD or MOI (Ministry of the Interior if for Police) would contact the Security Assistance Officer at the in-country U.S. Embassy. The MOD or MOI uses a Letter of Request (LOR) outlining its requirement for the Beretta Model 92FS pistol.The LOR has to describe reflect the quantity of pistols requested (even if only a rough estimate), they type of monies to be used (traditionally these would be FMS funds provided by the U.S. or funds provided by the FMS customer), and most impor tantly, a specific description that the FMS customer wants to buy the Beretta Model 92FS pistol with magazines. (If the LOR does not contain this specific description and uses a more generic term such as 9mm pistol, the requirement will have to be competed among U.S. producers. It is in the best interest of the FMS customer to get the Beretta Model 92FS since this pistol, in addition to its high level of quality, allows commonality with U.S. forces with regard to ammunition, spare parts and training in a way not matched by any other pistol.) Step 2 Once the LOR is in the hands of the U.S. Embassy Security Assistance Officer it is forwarded to the United States Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC), which provides the requirement or LOR to TACOM-RIA (the U.S. Army purchasing division at TACOM Rock Island Arsenal) for pricing and delivery estimates. These estimates are provided back to the FMS customer through an unsigned contract (known as an LOA - Letter of Agreement). Step 3 The FMS customer then commits the money, signs the contract, and the requirement and money are provided to TACOM-RIA for award to Beretta U.S.A. The Contract currently in place with TACOM-RIA through which Beretta 92FS pistols can be ordered is W52H09-09-D-0037. The point of contact at Beretta U.S.A. for assistance is Mr. Vincent DeNiro, who can be reached by email at HUvdeniro@berettausa.comUH. The points of contact at TACOM-RIA for the FMS program are either Ms. Lynn Burmeister or Ms. Erin Carter.They can be reached by email at the following addresses: HUlynn.a.burmeister@us.army.milUH, HUerin.mccarter@us.army.milU.
