Page 10 - Beretta PX4 Reviews

Nice cold steel feeling of the slide, Its got a good weight to it, The Safety switch is easy to operate and conveniently placed right by your right thumb, the trigger pull requires little strength,

maybe a more user friendly safety switch but it's current design does make it practically child proof, Steel grip, Maybe even a hop up

You could just settle for a Walther pp99 that features a slide that remains cocked back after the last round. It even cost ten dollars less. But along with the Px4, you can interchange what type of ammo you want to use (Diablos or BBs) and its like buying Nike rather than New Balance. You also pay more because you now wield what is one of the worlds most notable Italian hand gun Beretta...

blow back solid construction ammo capacity looks and feels AWESOME

it could be a little more accurate for my taste, but it's still fun to shoot

it's not powerful or accurate enough to bring down small game like bunnies/squirrels on it's own, but it does make for a very fun toy

Excellent value, nice blow back, nice capacity, & decent amount of shots per CO2.

Better accuracy. It's not bad, but could be better. This is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. The Deagle is a lot more accurate & has a stronger blow back.

A great gun for the money, & the best blow pistol back for the price! - The Big Bore Addict -

It has a good weight to it. Not too heavy, but not too light either. You get a lot of shots from one powerlet and it doesn't jam. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I got it a few months ago but so far it is very much worth the money.

Not much. Make the trigger pull a little smoother? That's about it.

Accuracy was difficult for me at first. I solved this problem by coloring the dots on the rear sight red and the front sight orange with sharpies. Others might not need to do it, but it helped me a lot.

Very nice feel and heft to the gun. The metal slide and engravings are very high quality and the gun feels great in your hand. The plastic on the grip is a little less authentic than the real thing, but still solid given the price of this gun.. The Px$ is a little front/barrel heavy compared to more compact pistols, but overall has great look and feel. Shooting the Px4 is an absolute blast, especially with a new cartridge. It has a recoil that is very similar to a real 9mm pistol. While it's my favourite air gun to shoot,

My one MAJOR beef with this gun is the constant jamming of pellets. I have read a lot about this online and many attribute the jamming to improperly placed pellets or weak C02 cartridges. I find that this is simply not the case. I have used 5 different types of RWS pellets and find that they all jam in this gun regardless of whether the C02 is half-empty or brand new. The pellets that seem to jam the most are the RWS Hobby. Cheap Crossman Wadcutters work well, but even those jam about once per C02 cartridge. This feature of the gun is definitely a weak link in design as it seems to happen to quite a few people (based on online reading). Sometimes the pellets jam so badly that it's difficult to remove the magazine. At that point, you need to pull back the slide and push down the magazine through the breach while pressing the mag release button. My solution to the jamming issue has been to use RWS BBs exclusively. I have not had a single jam with BBs in this gun and find that there is very little difference in terms of accuracy between the two. I afind that accuracy on this gun is lacking, largely due to the significant recoil. At 25 ft I find my CP99 Compact significantly more accurate even though that gun lacks a rifled barrel and shoots BBs! With the CP99 Compact, I can usually empty an entire magazine (17-18 rounds) into the 8-10 pt range on a 25 ft pistol target. At 25 ft, shooting the Px4 means that BBs/pellets are scattered all over the target.

This is probably the most realistic shooting air pistol that I've tried. In terms of shooting fun, I give it a 10/10. Unfortunately, I find that the accuracy fo the Px4 is less than what I expected, so I don't recommend it for target shooting. Overall a 4/5.

Feel of the grip, Overall size, lightwieght, good magazine capacity. fair accuracy, the Bruniton finish on the real PX4 slide is closely duplicated on the airgun, but judging from the price, it definitely isn't Bruniton coated. The slide's matte finish also blends in well with the matte finish on the polymer frame giving the gun a uniform look. The grip serrations on the front and back straps are interesting. Angled crosshatching forms a mass of tiny little pyramids that definitely create traction. The gun will not slip or slide in your hand. But, people with sensitive hands may not be happy with the rasp-like feel. Exchanging the CO2 is very easy. It employs the same CO2 system as the CP99 Compact, so if if you are familiar with this, you can change CO2 in about 30 seconds. Previous reviews say the slide-lock lever is simply moulded into the frame. This is not the case with my PX4 airgun. The slide lock doesn't function, however, it is actually a metal insert which feels identical to the slide lock on the real PX4. The magazine realease is the same as per the real one. The one supplied was a larger button then seen on the stock firearm. It can however be reversed for left handed shooters. Field stripping requires the use of a properly sized drift-punch to fit into a small maintenance hole in the frame. I have no reason to field strip an airgun so I haven't tried it.

The ambidextrouse Saftey catches on the slide do not work and are moulded into the slide. I have found use for them by racking the slide back with the tips of my fingers on the tip of the levers, so I dont get lead reidue from pellets on the slide.

The unique design of the real PX4 is its rotating barrel locking system. The airgun version however, uses the same locking system which all Umarex blowback guns use. When the slide recoils, its backward movement cocks the hammer for single action and advances the cylinder mag to align the next round with the barrel. When you pull the trigger, the CO2 valve is slightly moved forward into the breech to push the pellet just far enough so the nose sticks out into the barrel, inturn locking the magazine and breech together while the pistol fires. When the pellet leaves the chamber, it unlocks. Never use BBs in this gun, as it has a rifled barrel which over time will become worn and farther effect accuracy. The positive lock-up of barrel to slide assures perfect alignment of barrel and sights. The result is fair accuracy and quick shot recovery. The PX4 airgun is based on the Model F PX4 Firearm and is dual-action (SA/DA) with a frame mounted safety lever that disengages the trigger and acts as a decocker. The PX4 is well balanced in the hand. Although the slide assembly isn't as slim and trim as the Smith & Wesson M&P, it is by no means bulky and in my opinion gives the gun a more sturdy appearance than the M&P. There is absolutely no rattle in the gun when shaken, but there was a little play in the rear of the slide when pressed to the left and right. This is not a complaint. The bottom line is that this gun is tight.

Nice gun for the money. Very similar to the real one. Nice feel and weight. I was surprised that the hammer was actually functional, and that like the real one, the first pull is double action, and the remaining are single action. Fun to shoot.

Trigger pull is rough, not smooth.

The look and feel is almost like the real one..

Make the clip for 16 rounds in line instead of 8 rounds in each end.. Also to stop shooting when the clip is empty...

Pretty much everything! The gun fires BBs and pellets (thanks to a tiny magnet in the magazine that holds BBs in place). The accuracy is easily as good or better than any other CO2 pistol in its price range. The blowback is impressive when the CO2 cartridge is fresh! The blowback itself is great: it cocks the gun after each shot, just like it should. The trigger pull is very good too, much lighter and crisper than my Gamo PT80. The double-ended magazine is another great feature.

As always, more power. Wouldn't it be cool if they built a pistol that used a 16g cartridge? Also the mag slides into a gaping hole in the bottom of the grip. Nothing covers the hole and it's a bit strange.

This is the funnest pellet gun I've ever owned. It's great to be able to fire cheap, lead free BBs as well as pellets.

The weight on this gun is very realstic. Most of the body is made of metal, which gives the gun an amazing feel and balance. Adding a laser makes shooting a lot more accurate.

I would make the exit hole a bit bigger to make it look more realistic. The hole is small and can be seen. It is a .177 cal after all.

This gun has great accuracy and is a guide on shooting a real .22 cal. The reason why people are having a hard time hitting their targets is because of the blowback action aka RECOIL !!! I added a laser to the gun, kept it stable on a desk and shot the gun. I hit dead on every time. I used some old lead based copperhead pellets made by crosman (7.9 grams). Not even sure they make em anymore. I will try buying RWS extra point pellets.

Solid build and wieght. Looks great. Very accurate with some work. Mag capacity.

Adjustable sight. Slide lock would be nice.

The sights on mine were off. However once I made the physical corrections ( shooting a litttle left or right ,up or down) it was very consistent. If you want to aviod having to do that. I would strongly suggest using a laser sight with this pistol.

The weight is similar to real Gun the blowback is good... the finish is good compared with other guns of the same price.... I

The trigger sucks... it has a very hard and inconsitent first time,, the second time is better.. The accuracy is bad, i can't hit a can from 10 meters.. i get groups 3-4 inches at this distance

This is a gun for fun and plinking at short range...... A believe that is great gun for the price. I have many air pistols, Crosman 357, Daysy 693, Gamo PT80, Crosman C11, Crosman 1108, Crosman 1377 (very accurate)....

This gun feels great in it hand. It feels very durable. Both the loading and cocking mechanisms (use of a clip and pulling back the slide) feel very realistic. Blowback is is great and makes the gun feel really powerful. Being able to shoot both pellets and BBs is a big plus. Rotary clip at the end of each mag makes taking 16 shots completely painless.

The fake safeties are just molded into the frame. Even if they don't actually do anything, it would be cool if they were at least moveable.

If you're looking for a target pistol, this isn't for you. But the sheer amount of fun to be had when shooting this gun (due to its realistic action) far outweighs its slightly degraded accuracy and getting less shots per Co2 cylinder than other guns.

Overall feel and look

Adjustable sight

At 20 feet accuracy is difficult to compensate for

Looks and Feels Great in your hand. Blow back is sweet. Great all around pistol. Nice Value for the money. Accuracy you can get adjusted to after shooting a while.

Maybe the Safety. should be a little easier to turn off and on. Could be a good thing though.

Plan on buying alot of Co2 cause this pistol goes threw them.

this is another beautifully crafted piece from umarex. nice weight and feel, blow back metal slide, cool and innovative magazine, and a real working hammer.

there are fake safeties and switches molded on the slide and frame. they should work or they should not be there. the whole barrel should be metal.

very nice pistol for the price and it is simply worth having for how it looks, how the blow back works, and how it feels in the hand.

Feel, quality of build, excellent CO2 system, surpirsingly large number of shorts per CO2, as many as 50-60. Great fun to plink with

Hopelessly inaccurate. Could barely get 8 in a row into a target the size of a dollar bill from 6 feet. Does not have the slide lock.

I choose this pistol as it fired pellets and I do not shoot steel BBs on my indoor range. It is not as nice as the very similar Walther CP compact which is very suimilar in price etc. but has teh slide lock, greater accuracy etc.

looks good feels god to.

i was expecting more power when you puled the triger. the crosman pro 77 feels way beter.

anyway as an airgun colector, is a good pice to have in your arcenal.

Blowback has a very realistic feel and makes it fun to shoot. Chrony reads 450fps average with Crosman Silver Eagle Hollow Point Lead Free pellets. Advertised FPS is accurate with lead pellets Good value since everything less expensive is toy like and more expensive guns are considerably more expensive.

adjustable rear sight.

Fairly good accuracy you can get used to.

I have the PX4 firearm. I got this pistol to train my self with out the expense and noise of live fire. Good looking pistol. Great feel. Realistic slide action. Easy to load magazine. Easy to load Co2.

The sights are pretty humble. No adjustments. As far as I can tell the thing shoots high and to the left. Trigger pull is a rough especially after you cock for the first shot. You never know when it is going to let go. On mine the release seems too far back.

The blowback action seems to affect the pellet projection as the power becomes weaker. I only get 32 shots before changing out the Co2. Guess that blowback lever action uses up the air. Still for the money a good deal. Especially if you have the firearm. It does give you the feel and if you can hit the target with this you sure as heck can hit it with the live ammo.
