Beretta PX4 Storm Compact
Beretta's polymer pistol, with one patented feature that sets it apart — the barrel rotates on firing instead of tilting up, spreading recoil sideways. The result is less muzzle flip than you'd expect for its size and weight.
What's good about it
- The rotating-barrel lockup noticeably reduces muzzle flip
- Comfortable Italian ergonomics
- 15 rounds in a compact frame
What's less good
- Relatively thick
- Not optics-ready
- DA/SA action that requires training

How to mount an optic on it
The Beretta PX4 Storm Compact has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
