Maryland Police Officers Upgrade to Beretta Px4 .40s
The Maryland State Police is a paramilitary organization with their organizational and rank structure following that of the U.S. military. So it should be no surprise that when it came time to replace their aging Beretta 96D service pistols, they stayed with the brand used by those in military service. Troopers have served Maryland for more than 70 years and over that tenure of honorable service have used many sidearms. That service continues with the Beretta Px4 Storm. Keeping logistic and training concerns at a minimum, the troopers will continue to carry the .40 caliber.
Soldiers Turned Policemen
Maryland State Police (MSP) were in the market to either change their current pistol or upgrade from the Beretta 96D pistols, which they carried at the time. After testing the Beretta Px4 Storm pistol, a decision was made. The MSP chose to replace their aging 96Ds with the newest LE offering from the same company that had been providing them with exceptional service for years. The MSP chose the Beretta Px4 Storm D Model in .40 S&W to replace the 1,065 Beretta 96Ds.
