Yeah that's common in a lot of guns. I can't tell you the technical terms but its normal.
Beretta PX4 Storm I am more familiar with revolvers. Just got this 9mm.
Cleaned it recently and put back together. I didn't notice this before and want to make sure all is well.
When the slide is locked back, the barrel has a little play. Moves a little, but it does stay in place. Everything is solid when the slide is released.
Is this normal?

Be safe, shoot straight
Most pistols the barrel is held tight in place when the slide is forward, and are loose when the slide is back. Notice the shape of the barrel, it tapers back. It's made so the slide, barrel, and springs all easily come off the frame for cleaning.
Some pistols have the barrel mounted to the frame, these have straight barrels and are not loose when the slide is back.
Beretta's use a rotating barrel, that is why the recoil is not a sharp as others even though they tend to roll to the right slightly. It is totally normal.
Congrats on your purchase.
I was thinking about getting one of those to shoot USPSA with. Would that be a good gun to use?
I did notice that the recoil was less then expected. Good to know the reason why. Thanks
This gun handles like a dream. No FTF's or FTE's. Also pretty accurate
Bonus looks great
I also own a full size PX4 in 9mm. Your barrel is doing just what it should as previous posters have stated. I love shooting mine! Smooth as heck and very accurate! I carry it on the weekends when I can wear clothes to hide a full size. I don't know why there is not more support for it. Hard to find holsters and things for it.
Since this is a sub-compact, I plan on using this to carry. Looking for a good holster. Please feel free to make recommendations.
I use a Maxtuck from White Hat Holsters and love it!Originally Posted by boxerowner67
