I planned on buying one, but not at $1,500
When I had the Swiss made version I paid less than that. Gray would be neat if the street price drops down. |
|
|
So is this a Form 4 from the get-go?

Yeah it's unfortunately pretty expensive for what it is. MP5 pattern PCCs for around that price or less or the new Mean Arms bearing delayed upper also for around that price or the CMMG RDB. |

A bit late to the game…

At least they mostly left out the “Italian styling” that they usually use to limit US sales.

Ahh, so it is just straight up expensive. Gonna have to pass. |

Does this firearm have any advantages over a CZ Scorpion that costs about half the price of this?

I really like the way it looks, but that price is crazy for a blow back gun!
That’s $2k and change by the time you form 1 it and buy a stock! |
|
|
There are too many other options out there for me to be interested, especially with the price. The gun overall reminds me of the Claridge Hi-Tec or the Intratec or the Goncz GA pistol from Arnold's Total Recall movie, with the tubular look.

Be the change you want in this world.

A lot of plastic for the price.
|
|

As usual… too late & too expensive.
I’ve heard of broken firing pins but have no way to verify that. |

Lots of hate in this thread for MSRP, makes me think you guys need to shop around more. Or you should compare MSRP to actual sell prices on Beretta's other rifles. I have no plans to buy one either, but it's not because of MSRP.

Will Beretta maintain support for this because it's a pistol? They seem to stand vehind their pistols but abandon their rifle products PDQ.

My only experience with this is that I own a B&T P26, which is excellent in every way and one of the more fun guns in my collection. The trigger is spectacular and the suppression is great due to the heavy bolt and small ejection port. If BEretta's version is similar, it's one to look at.
|
|
|
Looks like an all plastic Tec-9...
$1500? Straight blowback? Yuck. |
|
I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314

These should cost less than $100 to make, so let's see an MSRP around $700 and street price at $500.
Also, let's go ahead and do Colt SMG mags and a 1913 backplate. They need to move manufacturing to a cost competitive country where the workers don't spend months on vacation every year. GTG. I've been handling these since they first came out and it was a "Hey, did you know about this?" type item. They are not that impressive... and without having ever fired one (pure speculation), I have the feeling that the Scorp would just absolutely run circles around this thing. Beretta needs to get serious or just not even talk about stuff like this. |
|
|
I dunno, kinda like. Definitely don't need though, I think it's just because I like things that go bang!

Meh ... 3 years too late as usual from Beretta ...
|
|
|
Late to market, terrible timing since unable to sell them with a brace, and will a form 1 sbr get denied for domestic parts compliance? All that and it's badly overpriced plastic to boot.
I like the looks though. I don't think they could've screwed up releasing it anymore if they tried. |
|
|
Did I hear right that these use B&T compatible magazines? I think I’d rather go with the GHM9 but curious to know if there’ll be another source for B&T mags.

I didn't think so, although I now realize he was asking too.

Played with one today. I actually quite like it. Only 2 things are wrong with it...the price and the right side safety lever would need to be shaved flat as it hits right smack bad in the trigger finger knuckle.
I can see myself actually buying one, even at the list price. |

Does your dewg bite...?

Picked one up today at LGS. As noted previously, it’s expensive, but imported Beretta guns like this aren’t cheap. How much was the ARX-100 going for when they first came out years ago? Retail on that was $1800-$1900 nearly 10 years ago. But, it is what it is. Has the same ambi safety issue as the CZ Scorpion with the lever digging into the web of the hand when in the “fire” position. Also disappointed that it didn’t come with the flip up sights, and they choose the QD socket rear cap instead of the picatinny rail rear cap.
Hopefully Beretta will get the picatinny end cap, as well as magazines, in stock soon, because right now there is nothing out there for it. Was thinking what it would take to SBR is and 922r compliance (for those who care). By my reckoning, it has only 11 of the 20 parts on the list, so just need one replacement. The disconnector and trigger look very much like M16 parts, as near as I can see looking at them installed. If that checks out, that’s two easy parts to replace with US parts and get 922r compliance, and have one left over for a factory stock (if they ever become available). Guess have some time to chew on it, since right now not even the picatinny rail stock adapter is available in the US (it’s available from the Italian Beretta store, but they only ship to the UK and EU), so there isn’t a good way to attach a stock anyway. ETA: Looks like the weasels at Beretta removed the molded in stock latch that’s on the right side of the receiver above the mag catch, so if you get the factory folding stock, it won’t stay latched in the folded position. That area is smooth on the US PMXs. |

@willi3d I noticed the other day that the UK website has the picatinny rear end. What's really needed before I'd pick one up though is the correct stock for it in their aftermarket store. Right now you can't even buy parts or even magazines for it in the US at all.

I did find a U.S. made one here, and ordered it. When I get it, I’ll have to see how the fit is, and it the material seems robust enough. https://customsmithmfg.com/shop/ols/products/beretta-pmx-rear-pic-rail Still hoping that Beretta USA get them in. |

A3 tactical was just asking on their Facebook page if customers would like to see them make adapters and support them aftermarket. You might pop in and give your 2 cents.

Even in today's crazy market, that's a $999 gun (just a few years ago, it would have been $799). It's competition is the CZ Scorpion.
A plastic blow-back 9mm pistol with proprietary mags selling for $1500? Good luck with that (and that's coming from a big time Beretta fan). It is difficult to see why anyone would choose that over a B&T or HQ MP5 clone -- each of which can be had in that same price neighborhood. Or even the Stribogs and Scorpions which are many hundreds less. Stretch just a little more and you're in far superior MPX territory. |

What appears to be pot metal overmolded upper and a plastic lower, for that price? No thanks.
Neat looking gun but not even close in its class and price. If they dropped substantially I could possibly see getting one but nowhere near for that. |
|
|
It literally just came out a month ago, so initially it will sell close to MSRP. Give it a few months and it will likely be much cheaper. It’s basically always this way with initial supply and demand. Here for $1300 now...

I have one, and the tubular receiver is certainly not potmetal, zinc, or anything else cheap. The receiver (under the polymer upper receiver cover) is steel and attracts a magnet. |

In same Beretta fashion ... they don't have any support for it ... no mags ... no stocks ... no end caps ...
Beretta absolutely SUCKS at releasing anything outside of shotguns and handguns ... This platform will die sadly just like the ARX has ... |

Bumping this thread up for anyone's recent reviews/reports/rumors.
Price is $1200 at Berelli - Hoping it drops a little but more to justify a tax stamp. |
|

Lots of people including myself won’t be interested in one of these unless the factory stock, foregrip, handstop, sights etc. become available.

That is a crazy price considering that kind of money opens you up to a lot more brands in that range.
