Beretta PX4 Storm .45 High round count, long duration usage.

I am about to hit 30,000 rounds on one of my PX4 .45s. I have taken good care of it and it runs very well.

I am looking for (or ready to share) feedback or information from anyone who has experience in taking the .45 Storm to a high round count. The characteristics of the .45 are different from the 9mm & .40, though there are similarities.

What kind of maintenance, parts or spring changes, etc.?

At 30,000 rounds, I'd think you are the high round count PX4 in .45 ACP guy people would be asking for information about maintenance, parts, etc.

Congratulations, by the way.

I'd be interested in reading a write-up in the style of the 2K Challenge about stoppages, gremlins, trends, and whatnot.

JTQ, Thanks!

I have had a dozen PX4 Storms since they first came out. I have many thousands of rounds on all the Storms, but.... I cannot know if there are better ways to maintain or work with them, if my own opinion is my only source. :)

With my shooting partner's .45 Storm SD and my EDC .45 Storm (I also had one of the first PX4 .45s released) my problem has been finding anyone who has taken a .45 Storm past the first oil change.

I am hoping input and discussion will prove enjoyable and interesting. I've kept extensive records of everything in maintenance and parts on all of my Storms. (Therefore, the name Storm Tracker).

PNWTO, I made a note of your interest. I will put something together. However, "runs like a sewing machine" is a good start for now.

I just noticed you are a new member. Welcome.

You may not have seen our 2,000 round challenge. You could even do one and post it. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....ound-Challenge

Also, Ernest Langdon has done a bunch with his 9mm compact and full size and has threads for each. He comments in both about maintenance issues on both guns that have been in the 50,000 round range.

PNWTO, Do you want a detailed report or generalities? I don't want to give you too much. I have kept very detailed records.

This is PF after all...give us the details! What’s your maintenance schedule been like? Any breakages?

I will post it from my "log". If it genders questions or confusion, I encourage anyone to point it out and ask! I'm going to like this PF after all...
