What is the operation of the beretta px4 storm type c?
It is a Double-Acton Only (DAO) version of the PX4. There is a hammer, but it doesn't have a thumb tang (the extrusion you would use to pull the hammer back by hand). The hammer is moved back by the trigger and releases after the trigger is fully depressed. There are other differences between the Type F Storm and the Type C (like no decocking lever--sometimes thought to be the safety, but it isn't), but this is the main difference in the Type C. The Type F is a Double-Action/Single-Action, meaning it functions as a double action for the first shot then the hammer stays back and it only takes a very limited trigger pull to fire subsequent rounds whereas the Type C has the same trigger pull for every round.
