When I purchased my latest handgun, I was looking for a DA/SA home defense gun. I had narrowed my list down to these two guns. I was leaning CZ due to liking the looks better and is decocker only. Locally I couldn't find one under $479, so when I found a Storm for $369 the savings persuaded me and I bought it. I was iffy on it at first, especially the looks, but then I took it to the range. I have to say I love it. 100% reliable and very accurate. I now have a D spring in it and converted it to a G model and like it even more. It is an awesome gun.

The PX4 is nearly the perfect DA/SA carry gun. Beretta just needs to do a slight refresh like they did with the 92.

I just love the Beretta px4 storm. Safety features are evident . Made of stronger material. Beretta is known for quality. This gun is nicknamed ' Pitbull ' .Thank you for a very informative presentation.👍👍👍

The P07 is a great gun. I've dunked mine in snow and mud and it still ran fine. That was with cheap steel Wolf ammo too.

I bought the PX4 Compact after too many youtube videos that had nothing bad to say about the gun. I've had it for just over a week with 50 rds thru it and NO BUYERS REMORSE. I did redo the sights with sight paint ( florescent orange in front, florescent green on the rear ) and added grippon grip textures. Would like to have stippling professionally done but these make a nice difference in the feel. I am shooting this gun at 30 yards and am very pleased with its and my accuracy. This one is a keeper. It replaced my 1911. As for the standard compact such as mine..no issues with any of the standard parts.

I have the PX4 Storm Compact Carry with the Langdon Tactical trigger job, which is essentially just changing the D weight mainspring (16 pounds) for a lighter spring. The trigger pull in both double and single action are dropped by over a pound by that two minute spring swap. The Compact Carry is plenty accurate. The short sight radius may hurt a little in slow fire, longer range shooting, but at defensive ranges within 25 yards it's not an issue. My times and accuracy have actually improved since I made the switch from a Glock 19 to the Beretta as my typical everyday compact carry gun.

I have two PX4 CC pistols. They are a great size, accurate, and can have an even better trigger by simply installing a Wilson Combat 12# hammer spring. I’ve did, and have had 100% reliability with a range of ammo. I’m getting 6.5lbs DA, and 3.75lb SA readings on digital Lyman gauge. Ernest Langdon is using a modified WC spring, that comes in under more around 11# on his trigger jobs. Thanks for sharing!

I love my p-07. I had my slide done up by jaegerwerks and stippled the frame. Threw in a primary machine match threaded barrel and a micro comp. thinking of getting her cajun’d up soon as well. CZ’s are just great guns. Thanks J.

I think that the CZ P07 is a really over looked gun in the mid-size handgun world. 1. It comes stock with metal night sights 2. DA/Sa 3. Low-bore axis 4.Metal Mag 5. CZ reliability 6. Great ergonomics 7.Ambi-controls 8. Front and rear slide serrations 9. Omega trigger 10. It’s a CZ (like saying, it’s a Porsche, reliable, good to look at and always looked over)

I just came across this video. I watch you all the time and haven’t seen anything new for awhile. Thanks for what do in your videos. I like the p07 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

PX4 here is compact 3.25” barrel version, full version is 4”. The P-07 is 3.75” barrel. This is also something to consider for accuracy comparisons and comfort

Thank you for your time and knowledge/teaching of these 2 beauties!! Just bought the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact. I needed to see what I was up against and you nailed it in my option... very honest and professional, might I add! 👍💥👌

Nice review! I just purchased the PX4 Compact Carry and am exited to shoot it. I have owned a standard sized PX4 in .40 for a lot of years which has been supremely reliable but the total package of this LTT inspired 9mm was just to much to pass on, regardless of price. As far as CZ, I do not own a P07 but i have had a P10C since they were first introduced and one cannot argue that they make a fantastic product; interestingly, I will say that the stippling on the the P10C is also very aggressive and probably my only “negative” critique of the pistol from an IWB carry perspective. At any rate, I am stoked about the possibilities of the Compact Carry as an EDC which would replace my current G23. I will try to get back and update after a few weeks. Stay safe!

Great vid man. I’m making the switch to the da/sa persuasion. This was really helpful.

I’ve owned the Beretta PX 4 storm full-size 9 mm for about eight years put over 3000 rounds in it, not one issue ...unbelievable smooth, very low recoil, extremely accurate and great feel in hand. I think I’m gonna have to get this one as well , smaller easier to carry concealed !

Great video! Thank you. It is so awesome when you get someone comparing exactly what you wanted.

Interesting review. I’ve used both pistols & have found the Beretta to be the higher performer for me. Good points on the post incident feedback as many don’t realize they will lose their pistols afterwards...

Thanks J.........you should do more of these comparisons,appreciate your take. Thank you!

Good vidio, i enjoyed your presentation. I own a px4 compact. I have found it to be flawless after many rounds. I shoot both rt and lft handed and it handles great. Very well designed. Thanks

yeah right on Ken, I put the Wilson Combat spring kit in my Beretta 92FS all five springs and it made the pull 1/2 of how it comes and very smooth both double and single actions were dramatically improved and I bought the kit for 20 bucks from Cheaper than Dirt. That was some of the best money I ever spent on improving a firearm. Using all five springs is key to ensure you get the best bang for your buck and you'll need a nice punch set to install the three springs in the slide. There are multiple videos out on how to do it. It makes an already great gun into a really great shooting gun that you will always take along on range day.

found a PXSTORM Subcompact in both 40 and 9 at a local place for $350 used but mint. I already have the P07 and love it.

Thanks Jay. Really enjoy these comparisons. Thank you for doing them. I own both of these pistols and as much as I like the Beretta, I shoot the CZ P07 better. Happy New Year!

I've owned both, still own the PX4. Both guns were reliable, but the PX4 is better in every aspect except slide/barrel finish and grip texture. The PX4 is ugly to most, but it's been so good that I've grown to love it. The P07 does have a better aftermarket, the PX4 is limited to Beretta or Landon. The PX4 full size .40 is one of the softest shooting polymer .40's that I've ever shot.

I think the CZ P-07 is just a fantastic gun for the price. Accurate, durable, good trigger, built well, and very good ergonomics. One of my favorite handguns to carry or take to the range.

Have both a P-07 Duty and PX4 Compact (converted to “G” decocker-only), and to ask me which one I prefer would depend on the mood I wake up in, as I shoot both of them equally as well and have no clear cut favorite and they share carry time for EDC. Love all my “old-school” DA/SA and real DAO hammer-fired handguns, but especially my CZ’s and Beretta’s!

Great job 👍 . Two very nice guns . I have always wanted to but never shot the full-size PX4 . I posted a few short videos of my new dream purchase . The Sig Sauer p226 Legion Sao 9mm . What a great shooting gun .

I own a PX4 Storm in 9mm. Awesome handgun.

I have shot many carry sized guns like the G19, the P229, the CZ P01, and the PX4 CC, and for me personally I have shot the PX4 better than any of them. Ergos are great, trigger is great, sights are great (defensive shooting). It has been my favorite carry gun just ahead of the smaller G26 and the P224 ( both of which I also love).

Beretta Px4 Storm Rules and so does the CZ P-07. Both are superb firearms

Great honest review,Most gun reviews I've seen have someone humping 1 gun over the other as soon as the camera comes on.Po7 for me.Thx J

It is now October, 2021 - thanks for all your honest, thorough reviews, J. He gave up on this useful, interesting channel because of all the undeserved negativity about his simply being an LEO.

Wow prices are different now, 3 years later. For the full soze of both, cz is $600 and the cx4 is $505 after the $75 rebate that they have this summer. Great video, I’m going with the beretta!!

I own a P-07 and love it's features and accuracy right out of the box. I obtained my CCW permit with it. I found a PX4 Storm at a local pawn shop for $336 and couldn't pass that up. Happy with both guns.

Late comment, great vid. I have owned both, didn't like the P07, good gun, just didn't fit my hand right, I EDC a px4 compact carry. Love it, have over 4000 rounds through it and I have not had one failure today. Steel, aluminum, cheap brass, all runs. For me it was worth the extra money

Got a px4 storm when they first came out loved it but my wife at the time loved it more so I let her keep it. Recently bought a po7 and it’s a fantastic gun. I’m a da/sa type of guy. Im going to have to get another px4 storm in the future but the Landon tactical this time.

I do like my po7 and have always wanted a px4 and I like the compact carry option. I may have to look into it.

Just bought a PX4 Storm compact today for $479 + tax at Academy Sports.

PX4 series is so underrated partly because Beretta is terrible at marketing their product. That being said you can get great deals on them. I got my PX4 inox 9mm full size on Black Friday for $470 so i''m pretty happy with that. I was in the market for a compact pistol for CCW and was heavily leaning towards a Glock 19,CZ P-07 or CZ P10-C. The PX4 shoots so flat in rapid fire and the trigger is so smooth. The DA is heavy and long (not a bad thing) and the SA is crisp. Best thing is that it can be improved as well as the decocker, guide rod, sights, etc. I agree the PX4 is ugly but once you shoot it you learn to love it. Those who own them know what I'm talking about. Full size model holds 17+1 because more is better (flush). I upgraded mine with the competition trigger group from Beretta, 11 lb hammer spring, steel guide rod, Ameriglo sights, a few 20 round magazines and a quality holster. The trigger and the action are super smooth now.

Nice comparison review, thank you. I like your style.

Good comparison. Unfortunately the PX4 doesn't get enough attention due to it's looks.

The first pistol I bought was a PX4 Storm ( full sized ) .. Still have it.. The last pistol that I bought is a CZ P07 Suppressor Ready.. So, an interesting comparison..

👍Good review👍Thx. Good info. Much appreciation. The PX4 SubComp. (40) is my next purchase. Hoping Beretta will address the slipperiness on grip. If not, I’ll get my skateboard tape back out- Having said that....”CZ gritty”???? I’ve had great luck w/CZ trigger. I really like the trigger double bar design. (Smith & Wesson should take note w/ their M&P Shield) My 75 & 2075 RAMI. Yes, that “Pin” is high maintenance.... CZ says 500 to 600 round cycles. Also, guide rod springs @ same replacement intervals. Not a fan of that at all but I stay w/ the manufactures recommendations to keep that “snappiness” - Thx again. Thx👍🇺🇸🔫

Thanks for this video, brother. It got me interested in the PX4 Compact. One finally showed up at my LGS for 389.00 and I went to check it out. Very nice gun for sure. Trigger is really good stock. However, the trigger reach for me was a little too long. I will stick with my P07 that has served me very well. I would for sure suggest people to take a look at both though!

Love to see a comparison with one of these and the HK P2000. I feel like that is another good polymer overlooked DA/SA ccw. I'll admit, needs a gray guns short reset kit and maybe a lighter hammer spring to make the trigger desireable.

Great video!!! I'm so glad to see the PX4 finally getting some love... very underrated/unappreciated for so long. You correctly pointed out that - if you were to get all the changes/upgrades found on the Carry/Compact Carry - you would save money in the long run (even more so, if the owner couldn't DIY). As for the price comparison, IMHO the more accurate match up would be with the standard PX4 Compact. This is the route I took. I picked up an Inox Compact and loved it out of the box, but I was surprised at the significant impact a relatively small investment made: $9-12 hammer spring swap $17 for the Talons, and $40-75 to swap out the decocker levers (if not, the PX4 can be converted to Type-G - decocker only - in about 15 minutes, for FREE). I still may swap the sites out, at some point, but I haven't felt the need to do much more with it... just an incredibly good and flat shooter!

I personally prefer my P-07 (especially at its price compared tp the PX4 Storm Compact) and it's not surprising that it's my EDC. I like the size, how it looks, and how little the muzzle flip is when I shoot compared to my Sig P320. The ergonomics are great and I love the beavertail on the grip which makes it so comfortable to get your hand under. If you want a gun with more aftermarket support, the CZ P07 (and the larger P09) would be the one to get. Those folks at Cajun Gunworks make magic happen if you are willing to pay for it. There are also more optic friendly custom cuts you can get from various companies and lighting cuts to lighten up the slide. While I've never shot a PX4 Storm Compact before, I've shot the full size variant plenty of time. I hate to admit it but for some reason I shoot way better on the PX4 Storm. For how large the slide is, the PX4 is a very flat shooting gun. I actually prefer the recoil impulse on the PX4 Storm. It's one of the easiest guns to take apart and maintain as well. I also like the futuristic 80s Sci-Fi look it has going. You can also get a Langdon slide if you want it to be optics ready. The only two gripe I have with the PX4 Storm is the safety/decocker and the smooth grip. The safety/decocker stabs my fingers when I rack the slide quickly and I'm afraid of accidentally flipping on the safety in an environment where I need my gun to work. No doubt this can be accounted for with training though and the compact's wing safety/decocker doesn't look as sharp. You can always get the G model or buy the parts to make the PX4 Storm a decocker only. The grip on the PX4 Storm is great on the front strap and back strap, but the sides are so smooth (especially for your support hand to really lockdown the grip). Talon grips or a custom stipple job would be the way to go for me. You really can't go wrong with either gun and it comes down to preference. I would be happy with either one.

In 2021, it’s nice to go back to a time when a knowledgeable reviewer compared two things in a thoughtful, informative and comprehensive manner.

PX4 is a hidden gem, shot my friends and it shot great. Regarding the P-07 (Duty), Nutnfancy and some others stated the earlier ones had issues but it seems to have changed for the better.

Thank You Glad somebody compared these two firearms. I own the P07 and I'm looking at the PX4 to purchase. Value your opinion since you are a straight shooter.

I own a Px4 Storm full size. It’s accuracy, reliability, durability, technology, and safety features are way up there. Added bonus, it has the Italian flare in design that makes it distinctively look different and attractive like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Great vid. I still want both of them

My daughter is getting ready for college and wants to take my M&P. So it’s time for a new semiautomatic.

I agree, CZ is a lot of gun for the money, great firearm. However, I made a decision to sell one of my 3, 9mm compacts and sold my CZ P-07 and kept my Glock 19 and PX4 C. It took me a while to get used to it , but once I started shooting more and making some minor modifications , the PX4 is my favorite carry more so than my G19. Even though the PX4 is a bit heavier, Overall, the PX4 gives me tighter groups and less recoil for sure,. Gun is very comfortable carrying AIWB . Now im looking forward to get a PX4 C in 40 S&W.

I enjoy your channel and appreciate the analysis and opinion devoid of ego; Stay safe out there.

Thks. U have addressed the issue logically.

Loving my P-07. I put a Night Fision front sight on it as well, which is a worthy improvement.

P07 for me

I now own both of these pistols. --- I just got my PX4 Storm Compact Carry-2. I really like the recessed hammer, and really like the orange-red glow front sight. It's very easy to line up on target. Try it, you'll like it. - I have to say its trigger is the absolute best there is compared to all the other DA pistols I have - velvety smooth and precise DA action each and every time. -- One thing I think will really surprise new users of this weapon is the decocker. When I first racked it for dry-fire and used the decocker, I expected a soft seating of the hammer like on my other DA pistols. My CZ-P07 decocker is the best - it gently seats the hammer to half-cock. - Well, the decocker on the PX4 CC2 releases the hammer with a seemingly full trigger force. I thought:- Oh boy -- that's not good! - It felt like decocking the hammer would certainly fire the pistol. The hammer force in decocking felt exactly the same as dry-firing it. - So, put my trusty 9mm laser round in it - decocked it - the hammer came down hard, but no laser fire. Dry-fired it and the laser lit up on the wall. Did both several times with the same result - decocking doesn't activate the laser round while firing the pistol does. Since Beretta does not cover this very strange phenomenon in their manual or in any review I've seen so far, including this one, can someone please explain how the hammer on the PX4 CC2 coming down with seemingly full firing force while decocking does not fire the pistol? Thanks.

good video, i have a bone stock full size px4 and love it, the P07 is on my wish list,(Santa let me down last year) .

Nice comparison...both are worthy contenders for sure but (for me) the CZ 75d PCR still rocks my cc world!

Positivity is always welcome! Nice job

I really liked how this turned into a 3 gun review. I'm looking for a new EDC gun. I used to carry a CZ-75 back in the steel gun days and loved it. I have been carrying a Glock 19, but I want to switch back to a DA/SA for liability reasons. You have given me a lot to think about. Its probably going to come down to availability, feel, and price in my local area.

I bought the Barrett Storm for my daughter. She loves it. Looks great and gets the job done. That being said I'll take my Kimber 45 all day long.

Nice review. It sounds like the Cadillac is the PX4CC. Although its pricey; I wonder if you do the trigger job, and add the upgraded sights to the CZ, you'd be a lot closer to the price of the PX4CC.

Yes, the overall cartridge length is critical with reloads in the PX-4 compact (and the regular PX-4) so hand loads 'by the book' may not work as well as preferred until you get that set for these particular pistols. Problem solved by getting hold of a used 'test barrel' (far cheaper than a new barrel) for the Beretta to check fit & length before assuming the hand loads will work.

I Cajunized my P07, now is more expensive than a Glock or a PX4 but is custom, smooth, super reliable and works really really good. Since I have big hands my pinky jugs the edge of the P07 grip so I bought a P09 magazine and installed "The NULL: CZ P07 19 Round Magazine Adapter Sleeve" to the magazine. If you have big hands or like more capacity this is the way to go.

Awsome I just order my cz p07 , thnaks

I bought a P07 for about $420 after taxes. I reload as well and I ended up having to set the bullet OAL 1.09 to get my rounds to chamber. Never shot the PX4 but would love to get my hands on 1.

Thank you for the intro! Seriosuly debating between the 2.. Knowing it's gonna be both.lol More like which one first

Love my P07. Probably my favorite gun.

Good video. Your audio track was a little off (not synced). I am of the same opinion as you, but I'm not sure how I'd feel if we were comparing a Beretta PX4 Storm compact with a CZ P-01 Compact.

Great video J. Keep ‘em comin’!

You always do a good job brother!

Replacing the stock with the D hammer spring helps with the trigger pull.

Great job,love the PX4

I love my px4 and I put a laser on and it’s a point and shoot for a cc it’s about immediate dispersal of freedom seeds not long range. For me that is the perfect size for quick removal and on target when seconds count IMHO.

I know I’m late to the game here but owning and shooting both I’d say that the PX4 is without question my favorite carry. It shoots like a much large gun and the rotating barrel is not a gimmick. They are both incredibly reliable using factory ammo and takedown and cleaning is simple and easy for both though I’d give the nod the PX4. I love my CZs in general but for carry the Storm is my choice.

First, Thank-you for pointing out the value of civility in comments. I'm getting tired of trash talk on topics. Regarding the pistols okay the CZ, but I'm not a SA/DA fellow. Lot of my friends carry them they are great! Me, just don't care for it? However, thats because I'm a 1911 or revolver person. Yea, I'm a dinosaur, lol! But, I do carry a striker fired pistol daily! Solid presentation, Thank-you!

px4 rear sight was off shooting right after adjustment perfect...honestly went that day to purchase vp9sk and always thought px4 was ugly in pics when my dealer casually bought it out and I personally favor da/sa daily carry i immediately bought it on spot..i guess its not photogenic but in reality its gorgeous...only shot 200 rds prior to writting this and I must say my impulsive buy was worth it.

The CZs have been so cheap lately. I picked up a P-09 for $365 brand new. I could hardly believe it.

Very good comparison, you made excellent points for both firearms. I guess that I am a little biased...love my CZ. I just never developed a soft, cozy feeling with the Beretta while in service. They make excellent firearms, I just never preferred them over other choices. Keep up the excellent work...you have a new subscriber.

Great, fair and honest review! One thing I’d add that’s just my opinion on why I think the P07 has a phenomenal SA trigger. I don’t want a wall in my pull, especially if I have to defend myself in a gunfight. The 07 is like a “caddy” as they used to say. It’s smooth and you don’t notice it. Once my finger goes inside the guard it’s time to pull. A wall complicates accuracy on a pull. But it’s become the way to describe the break of the trigger pull itself. With that being said, having a noticeable reset is a good thing if you have a little to much over travel. And it’s hard to have one without the other. So to everyone who buys a SD pistol, practice as much as possible. As someone who is in love with Baretta’s you can never go wrong with one. But to me the storm is ugly. The 07 with $160 of Cajun is an insane pistol. Right at $600 ish total. The grittiness of the DA on the P07 is from the coated frame side of the trigger bar. It’s rubbing against the non coated trigger spring that’s pressing the porous poly frame. Polish the bar and it’s golden. Or shoot a lot! Lol. Sometimes the frame needs to be smoothed but usually that takes care of it.

Yes, the PX4CC is great. The stealth levers take some learning to master. The larger levers are better

Good review man!

Great video. I lean more towards My P07.

Nice guns I like the p07 more even if I never shot that one before.

Price difference seems steep unless you have a Beretta CX-4 carbine that shares the same magazine. Something definitely worth noting IMO. Two top shelf weapons and need to have only one magazine style. That's a pretty smart investment.

Both nice pistols. I went with the slide mounted safety. Damn, I should have sucked it up and got both.

Nice comparison video, not having shot the Beretta can't say. But I have the p07 and love it. Subbed

my two favorite pistols by far

I have the P07 gen 2. I love it. Looking to pick up a Px4 storm.

Love the magazine rack!

I think you should probably carry the gun you are most comfortable with, money shouldn't matter. I carry a p07 or my j frame. Love them both!

Good review. I’d go with the one that gives the best groups and best price. Very subjective but the P07 looks better to me. Cost of magazines would have been a nice addition to you’re good review.

I've always wanted a PX4. The midsize one looks perfect. The compact looks goofy as heck. And I have a P07: nearly perfect until I put MCarbo spring kit in it. Now it's 99%. MCarbo kit is a game changer.

I went to a gun shop and found that the PX4 Storm compact was the same size as the Sig P255-A1, except that the Sig was slimmer at 1,26 Inches vs 1.4 for PX4. Why is the PX4 Compact such an excellent carry gun when the SIG P225-A1 is too big? The only difference is capacity, where the P225-a1 is an 8 shot mag expandable to a 9 shot magazine. The Sig P225-A1 has a nicer grip, not so smooth.

Great review, thanks.

I don’t believe you could go wrong with either option I personally like the px4 the most!

I think the px 4 and stoeger couger does its job best at 10 yards target what can you expect from compacts the same goes for CZ p07 but yeh you get a little edge for the p07 slightly big barrell and good ergonomics grip for good shooting was planning to get a stoeger or a Cz p07 just making decisions

I've got the p07 omega. I can carry cocked and locked which is a definite plus for me. Heard a lot about the px4. But never had one in hand.
