Beretta bringing in the PMX

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

I am stoked! I love the pizza guns

A few months ago Beretta released in Europe the semiautomatic version of its newest submachine gun, the PMX. This civilian version of the new main firearm of the Italian Carabinieri, named PMXs, had no known delivery schedule to the USA. We now have confirmation that it will soon reach the American market.


The Carabinieri (Italian Military Police) recently started replacing their venerable Beretta PM12S with new PMX submachine guns, acquiring 5,000 firearms in late 2018. According to Beretta, the Carabinieri were directly involved in the development of the firearm, to ensure that it would match their requirements.



One of these requirements is the presence of “back-up sights on the back-up sights”: even when the folding sights are not deployed, small pistol-like sights protruding on top can be used for practical aiming. Among the requirements are also the ambidextrous controls and the possibility to swap the charging handle side. The firearm is fed by translucent 20 or 30-round magazines.

Does it take Glock mags?

Seriously it looks interesting, it’s too bad I hate Beretta.

Does it take Glock mags?

Let’s hope not, gLoCk mags are not the universal requirement for SMG’s anywhere.

Let’s hope it comes with real mags that work really well.

Looks good, will be interesting to see where they price it.

Right, even with my b&t I bought the one with the mags the gun was designed for. I’ll bet when Glock drops their carbine (any day now!) it won’t even take them. Lol

I am all over one of these as long as they are lest than $1500. I certainly think these merit a premium over the cz and beretta is typically pretty reasonable (in the us).

Y’all I was joking about it taking Glock mags. Although they are decent mags.

And I still hate beretta. And will never buy a new beretta product.

The loss is yours.

With the sole exception of compact plastic pistols and perhaps AR-15’s, they build or own a fantastic line-up of products.

I already have the SP5, SP5k and B&T APC 9 pro, all SBRed. I also have a CMMG Mk9T 16” (basically a Colt clone). Not sure what the PMX offers over my B&T.

Why are you self limiting? Unlike women, you can have more than one at a time.

Because what little range time I get these days, it’s more fruitful for me to focus on a few platforms.

While I am a huge fan of "one example of each", at some point designs become redundant and the money is better spent supporting the examples that already exist in your collection. I don't think this Beretta offers anything unique or is so desirable / affordable that a person would be stupid to not buy one.

For the advanced collector there are better options for the same money, for the entry level shooter there are better options for the same money. The only person I can see who "must have" something like this are people who are dedicated to collecting Beretta firearms specifically in the same way there are some HK collectors who buy every variant, even the really stupid ones.
