My vote is for the M&Pc.

These are two completely different guns. For self-defense firearms, I personally prefer to not have an external safety. I haven't held a PX4sc but it definitely looks clunky. There's a member on here that has one. Do a search and you'll probably find the thread with a picture in it. Try to rent and shoot them both if you can.

Also, the market for accessories (holsters, mags, etc.) is much larger for the M&P.

Being a squid I am more versed in carrying with an external safety, I understand your reasoning for not wanting one though.

I guess I will take more of these questions over to the beretta forum.....

thanks for the input!

Both are obviously carry guns???

I'd choose the M&P for a number of reasons:
1. The M&P is slimmer/smoother, with fewer external controls.
2. The M&P has a MUCH lower bore axis, and therefore less flip for a short gun.
3. I think the M&P is lighter, but I'd have to check.
4. Accessories are more availible for the M&P now.
5. I would not carry the Storm cocked and locked, and I hate DA/SA transitions.

My thoughts.

Doesn't it have a slide mounted saftey? If so, U can't do cocked and locked on the storm.

I carry my new USPc cocked and locked - but its much bigger than either of those 2.

Jake,

I just bought a Beretta PX4 Subcompact last week for concealment and I love it! I did have a little problem finding the right holster for it but I did find it. A Blackhawk 420208BK with extra mag holder. The gun fires great and has no more recoil than a stubby .38. Just my two cents as a "newbie". Good Luck!

Hey, you stole my thunder!!!!

I have pics of this holster on this site under Beretta heading. It is a fun gun to shoot.

Someone on the Beretta site sent their slide off to be NP3'd and have nightsights installed. He just posted pic. Sweet.

I think it's smaller than some of the other subcompacts - at least it looks like it is.

Buck,

It's only because of you that I have this great holster! I read your post the first day I joined. Thanks! I love this combo!!

Glad I could be of assistance.
