Beretta just introduced a stubby, new 9mm that’s beefy enough for larger hands. The Italian company released the PX4 Storm in Europe earlier this week at Eurosatory.

The pocket-sized pistol’s handle is very compact, but a special, fold-down lip on the butt of the 12-round magazine gives all three grip fingers a home while maintaining a low profile. It’s only available in 9mm for now, but Beretta plans to introduce a more powerful .40 caliber version soon.
