    Beretta bringing in the PMX

    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.

    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.

    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'll be all over this like stink on poop as soon as everyone who has to overpay for one gets one and at least a year has gone by. Of course this assumes that they don't bastardize the civilian version.

    BTW, they're copying the backup sights on backup sights from the Stribog.

    Looks like it will be at or near B&T prices. It would have to price in near $1,000 for me to be interested.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Yeah I know. It sucks but so does their customer service. It’s why I can’t buy a new Beretta product. I refuse to give them anymore money.

    They couldn't make it take M92 mags?

    Those are good mags, including the 30's.
