the half-cocked position. The pull on the trigger in the double action mode will first cock the hammer completely and then release it to strike the firing pin (double action). Cocked hammer (Fig. 8): By pulling the hammer rearward completely you will feel and hear the hammer (click) into the fullcocked position. The hammer is now in the firing position. The pull on the trigger will release the hammer immediately to strike the firing pin (single action). Double action only (model D). The pull on the trigger will first cock the hammer completely and then release it to strike the firing pin in the same motion. On model D (double action only) the hammer follows the slide rearward and forward to come to rest every time in the decocked position. The long and heavy double action trigger pull is considered a safety feature because it also helps reduce the likelihood of unintentional discharge. High capacity magazine (Fig. 1/G). The Beretta Px4 Storm pistols have an easily removable, high capacity staggered magazine, that allows rapid reloading and extended use of the firearm in special operating situations: The type and capacity of magazine for the Beretta Px4 Storm pistols is as follows: Px4 Storm cal. 9mmx19 - staggered magazine with 17 rounds* Px4 Storm cal. 9mmx21 IMI - staggered magazine with 15 rounds Px4 Storm cal. .40 S&W - staggered magazine with 14 rounds* * For some markets and in compliance to local legal restrictions, extended magazine bottoms can be applied to increase the magazine capacity: to 20 rounds for caliber 9mmx19; to 17 rounds for caliber .40 S&W. CAUTION: Consult local authorities for magazine capacity restrictions that may apply in your locale. WARNING: In order to permit the use of the pistol in emergency situations, even in the case of involuntary dropping or loss of the magazine, these models are NOT provided with a magazine disconnect safety. They are therefore capable of firing, when a round is chambered, even if the magazine has not been inserted or if it has been removed or if it has been dislodged from its seat. ! 58
