.45 Beretta px4 storm feed issues

[BAMGranny]

Greetings all,
I recently bought a px4storm .45 I got to run 50 rounds through it and she fired smooooth as silk. 2nd time I ran 200 rounds through but constant feed issues. I could only run 2 -3 consecutive rounds at a time. I took it home cleaned and oiled properly (yes, I made sure the block was seated proper in the rolling barrel). The ammo wasn't crap. Ball. The magazines came with the sidearm and behave like the new springs that y have. I'm really, really disappointed because that first time was amazing. So, 1. has anyone here had similar feed problems? 2. what did you do to solve the problem?

Thanks much,
BAM Granny

I keep trying to tell folks the Lord gave us Japs to make cars..Germans to make guns..and Eyetalians to make pasta. Trade it in for a Sig.

What kinda square headed bohunks make that? Thanks

I sold my PX4 45 before I put more than a mag or two thru it, but it ran flawlessly.

Beretta tends to make quality guns, might have to send it to the factory.

On my rotary barrel Sig/Mauser, making sure the OUTSIDE of the barrel is properly lubed (light oil) is important to ensure proper function.

I wish I could help. My 9mm ran flawlessly.

Can’t imagine those krauts managing to screw up the owners manual that bad. Thanks

What the heck are you talking about?

Trying to figure out why a kraut built gun ain’t working right. We just need the facts. Thanks

Okay sorry. I was responding to a different post about why some guys Mauser was being pesky.

I was just pitching in with experiences learned from another handgun with a rotary barrel.

Had a PX4 .40 for a couple years and never had an issue. Put several thousand rounds through it.

I would lean towards letting the factory have a look at it.

You gun nuts often talk above my pay grade.

My 9mm PX4 has run flawlessly with all sorts of ammo. I'd suggest running a few more mags of ammo through it. It could just be some unusual teething issues.

Also, pay attention to whether it happens with all the mags or only with one.

There's a guy over on pistol-forum 'PX4 Storm Tracker'...I think he invented the PX4. He has several long, educational threads about the Storm. I would peruse this thread, it's specific to the 45-

That would be my thought as well. I've got two PX4 Storms in 9mm and both have been flawless. Thousands of rounds combined and not one single malfunction or FTE and probably my most trusted pistols. Not sure why the .45 would be different.

Beretta makes quality stuff and will stand behind it if there's an issue.

 

[bigwheel]

Whew ok. Nearly knew there was a good reason why we didn’t want one. Thanks

Was the ammo the same from one trip to the other?

Wish I could help too, but my PX in .45 has ran great. I'll be interested to hear how things turn out with yours.

thanks. My ran great for 50 rounds... I have other Berettas and they are fantastic. This .45 px4 is my first with the rotating barrel. I'm thinkin' it's going back to the factory.
