This guide details James Reeves' month-long evaluation of the LTT Beretta PX4 Storm Compact Carry 2 for everyday carry. It covers assessing the firearm's size, weight, and concealment capabilities against popular alternatives like the Glock 19 and Sig P365 X-Macro.

Quick Summary

The LTT Beretta PX4 Storm Compact Carry 2 offers enhanced performance with upgrades like a red dot cut and NP3 coating, but its 1.4-inch width and 27 oz weight make it larger than pistols like the Glock 19.
