Looks and feels like the real thing, great fun to shoot.

Nothing.

Buy one!

I like the blowback feature. It shoots and feels like the real thing.

It uses CO2 cartridges pretty quickly.

It can jam very easily.

Very snappy blow back which brings pretty good realism for target practice. Others have stated accuracy is poor, however IMOA it's pretty close to shooting a firearm. The blow back will train shooters they must reacquisition target after each shot & not just able to hold gun on target as with a non blow back gun.

Button to realese magazine is too easily depressed when using two hand hold causing magazine to drop from chamber.

Place a drop of pellgun oil or equivalent on tip of each co2 cartridge prior to installing & seals will last much longer.

Great ergonomics, looks, feel and balance. Powerful and fairly accurate. Nice realistic blow-back as well with a good trigger. Lots of metal and plastic but the plastic feels great (not cheap). Cool magazine clip which is double sided and can take bbs or pellets.

Piercing mechanism is bothersome. Does not always pierce CO2 can right away...usually takes 2 attempts. Sights are not adjustable.

All in all a terrific, fun and reliable shooter!

Excellent Pellet Pistol for Practice

In my opinion i cant change anything of this pistol

Nice action similarities to a real firearm

Some sight adjustment for windage.

Mine shoots left with new CO2, then drifts right as it runs out. All in all 2" at 30 feet from fresh CO2 till half empty. When it gets really low the blowback wont cock hammer. First couple clips (32-40 shots)stays in 2" circle at 30 feet. (aiming a little right)

I liked how it looked a lot like the real one

Crappy gun overall. After a few months of use the clip no longer stays in and the seal leaks uncontrollably. Pure trash.

Buy something else

looks and feels just like my real px4. Great inexpensive way to train and create muscle memory.

they should just use the safety as it is on the real gun. It takes 2 hands to switch the safety this is over kill on a pellet gun.

Blowback, 16 shot magazine, authentic look and feel, metal slide, decocker.

The safety is a little strange. Although it is securely tight, I would like to be able to easily switch it with one hand.

I get about 80 shots worth of shots before the blowback stops working. The 16 shots are noticeably weaker though.

The PX4 Storm shoots well. The first couple of shots give the best kick. It tends to wind down after that, but for close up shots and plinking I'd say this is a good deal for the price. I'm shooting the RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle .177 Cal, 8.2 Grains, Wadcutter, 500ct and the pistol is shooting awesome.

The safety is a bit awkward. Wish it would be like the original firearm PX4 Storm safety then it would be awesome! I also would like for it to lock up when it runs out of ammo just like the real PX4.

Get a lot of pellets and CO2 cartridges. It's like some say, you won't want to put it down. Remember to get the Pellgun Oil. They are truly a lifesaver!

Authentic look and feel. Blowback action. Rifled barrel. Fun to shoot.

Perhaps make the Safety switch a bit easier to move, or maybe I am doing something wrong. Of course maybe that is why they call it a Safety since it nicely prevents the gun from firing when the Safety is on. Other than the Safety, don't change a thing. It is a great gun for the money! Happy to have bought it!

Put a drop or two of oil on the threads of the CO2 screw to allow it to move more smoothly. Not a problem, just a suggestion!

I found this pistol to be very easy to charge the co2's and load pellets.I did not use bb's.I did find the safety worked easy on this and my Walther CompactCP99.Most of my shooting has been in 10 to 30 degree temps.Can't wait for 70's.

I think adjustable rear sights would improve accuracy a great deal.I added a Center Point laser/flashlight combo and accuracy greatly improved.

I did find it very picky with pellet brands,Crosman HP's,Hp's and Destroyers worked extremely well.Daisy wadcutters were too loose.

Fun gun. Good practice tool.

Put the sights on the p.o.i.

Nothing really to complain about re. the gun, but c'mon... it's a $50 airgun. Yes, I paid too much at this price, but it was a wild hair purchase.

my take on the px4 storm,looks really nice feels good in the hand,shooting the pistol for the first time using Daisy Max Precision .177 Cal, 7.2 Grains POA to POI was way,way off,changed to Crosman Hunting .177 Cal, 7.4 Grains saw a change in POA TO POI awhole lot better 2" groups, I noticed in the rifled barrel and the plastic cover barrel where'nt well aliened,barrel cover obstructed rifled barrel in the bottom corner,so with my exacto knife I trimmed off the obstruction of the plastic barrel,shot it again with Beeman .177 Cal, 7.2 Grains, Hollowpoint, would you belive the px4 storm started shooting 1/2" and 1" and some times 2" groups It did cross my mind at one point to send the px4 storm back for an exchange ,but decided to keep it after the slight modification.

UMAREX more quality control on there products. ad the slide catch to the px4 storm,the px4 does kick, but with the kick powerlets only last 3 full magazines on the forth magazine its not even worth shooting its so weak theres no power left in the pistol

its a nice pistol,feels like it's firearm counter part I like the px4 a lot but its a powelet hog. I ve heard the gamo pt-85 starts getting weak on the forth magazine

The looks of this pistol. Looks similar to the real firearm. This pistol is dead on accurate. Uses c02 good for a blowback pistol.

have the bottom c02 cap also cover where the magazine goes in. Then it well look very close to the real firearm. make the safety that is molded into the frame actually work, take off the other safety.

Overall Nice pistol for the money.

Although the sights are non-adjustable, they ARE dead-on...at 40 feet. ? Yesterday, with the temp. a? balmy 90 deg. F., I got 7 Mags of good plinking shots from ONE CO2 tank...that is 112. I like this. Looks, feels & shoots deliciously.

The means by which the CO2 canister is secured and ounctured.

The only warning I need offer, is that it behooves you, when adding a CO2 tank, to crank that nylon securing wheel (below it) as tight as your fingers will allow. If you don't, it'll get punctured...but NOT completely..and will be wonky. That is, the FPS of each shot will begin to vary...noticeably.

Everything...including that although the sights are non-adjustable, they ARE dead-on. The trigger is as swell as Roy Rogers' horse!

Provide SOME type of cover for the mag.

Was doing some Pyramyd Air shopping the other night and was faced with a real problem. I had too many guns in my cart and needed some help thinning down my selection. Fortunately an 'On-line chat' person came to my aid. He suggested I take a look at the PX4. Well, that only made my situation worse but I finally pulled the trigger that one and one other that was in my cart. Then it was four days of buyers remorse. The more reviews I looked at, it was just looking like another big bulky gun (Like my Gamo P85. When it arrived, it sat on my bench for several hours still in that damnable blister pack....the kind that would rather cut you then open up. Finally I through caution and re-stocking fees to the wind, cut it out and loaded it up. Wow! What a great feeling and shooting gun. Was really surprised that it did not feel bulky in the hands. I found myself just having fun shooting this thing. So, bottom line; Thank you Wes. Good job. This is a good gun and I'm glad you made the recommendation.

I appreciate that Umarex is attempting to improve the CO2 loading but this isn't the solution. It's fussy when it comes to cartridges. I've had a couple that would not pierce all the way.

Yep; Pay close attention while loading the CO2 cartridge. That final twist of the butt plate to pierce the cartridge is a short throw.

The gun has a fairly realistic feel to it. The blowback action is a nice feature. In my experience, it really adds to the enjoyment of shooting.

Let's be honest here: this is a "purely for fun" air pistol. In my experience, the accuracy is reasonable, but without adjustable sights, I find myself needing to manually adjust my aimpoint more than I'm used to. Also, I get some inconsistency with accuracy (occasional "fliers"), but that may be due to the less than stellar wadcutters I've been using so far. The finish of the magazines is less than perfect. It would be nice if they somehow had an additional piece to them that completed the butt of the grip. Currently it's a bit ugly. The slide is nice, but it would be nice to have a working slide catch. The safety is truly the most disappointing thing about this gun. It's quite "stiff", uncomfortable to use, in an awkward position (especially for right-handers), and looks a bit "tacked on" (which I suppose it is.) It would be nice if this pistol had a safety like the Px4 Storm it replicates. Finally, the CO2 capsules can be a bit tricky to properly install. You have to make sure to tighten the "clamp nut" very well before applying the actual puncture stroke via the grip butt. Wasted a few capsules getting this right. Ultimately, however, this is a relatively straightforward capsule installation procedure.

This is a fun pellet pistol. Blowback, CO2, pellet pistols are hard to come by, and overall, Umarex filled the gap nicely with this Px4 Storm replica. A few additional features / tweaks would be welcome, but at this price, I'm not really complaining! Fun pistol, good quality finish, excellent value.

Blowback is great gives gun an almost real feel

Much better diagram of how to install co2 cartridge

All in all a great value
