Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine 9mm

Featured Replies

Yep, fun and hard to find! I had a 9mm for a week, now have a .40. They are both dead-on in the 25 yard pit I was shooting in, have not tried it longer-distance yet.

I liked it. I liked the Keltec also. I won't be buying either.

 

I don't think I'd buy a carbine in less than .357, .45, or .44 magnum. Some day I'll probably have something in .45 since it is the cheapest to shoot out of those options. Unless I have a moment of weakness and get a Stemple Takedown Gun in .45 :D Or a Title II MAC in .45.

They are tack drivers in all calibers. The sierra papa trigger kit removes one of the rifle's weak points by giving you a non-flexing metal trigger (stock is plastic) and a MUCH nicer pull. Get it.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It sounds like a winner. I was looking for a 9mm companion to my 92A1 and liked the idea of this rifle, since it uses the same mags.

it was just a matter of time.....

Got this combo too,Can switch between my cougar/92 if need be. lots of fun. Only issue is price, you start swapping out all the factory parts, adding acc's and you're getting into AR pricing.

i have one to go with my 92. its the best pistol caliber carbine ever made

 

Well, that's a more serious claim :) If it's about putting the mostest holes the closest together in the mostest targets the fastest then I think there are other 9mm carbines that can exceed the capabilities of the CX4. Although, probably not in NJ :)

I have it in 40 and have said a million times over... if I had to pick ONE interior self defense weapon.. and ONLY one.. it would be the CX4..

 

 

I've never heard you say that before, but I'm glad you feel that way about the gun. The only difference is that I'd be looking at the 9mm version, not the .40.

Since I am under 21 and I buy this carbine, since it is not a pistol it would be a rifle right? Anyway how would I get ammo for it?

My only other recommendation that tops the Storm is the Ruger Police Carbine or Marlin Camp carbines. The Marlin is old school wood and blued steel. The Ruger is synthetic and blued steel. Both feel more substantial and durable than the Beretta.

How about PA? I don't think they require the 21 and over thing for pistol ammo. Besides, as long as it is for a long gun, you are legal. Waaaay back when I was under 21, when I purchased .22LR, I had to sign the sheet with the comment they were for a rifle only. Same thing applies, if you can buy .22LR, you should be able to buy 9mm.

 

I agree with everyone. 92FS & CX4: Perfect together. Papa Sierra trigger and stainless recoil guide rod. I shoot the CX4 in USPSA rifle stages. Power Pistol, 3N37 and Longshot are good powders for 9mm carbines. Velocity increases about 14% between the 9FS and CX4.

A buddy of mine has a Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum. That is a VERY uncomfy rifle to shoot. It does look really nice compared to the Berettas toy-like plastic stock. That said, the Beretta is much more pleasant to shoot. I got it for steel events and anywhere a center-fire pistol caliber rifle can be used. While my Saiga is cheaper to shoot, most events don't allow high-power rifles. :(

I had the cx4 in 9mm with a nc star scope on it and it was acurate as hell. A good little carbine.

Only issue is price, you start swapping out all the factory parts, adding acc's and you're getting into AR pricing.

 

fortunately the only accessory you really NEED is the sierra papa trigger set..

 

I had the front rails.... front grip.. barrel shroud and all that..

 

and IMHO is just cluttered the gun.. I ended up pulling most of the stuff off..

the only thing I kept was the SP trigger, top rail.. flashlight and trijicon..

and it runs great.. nice and light..

A buddy of mine has an 1894 in .44 Magnum. It is a dream to shoot. I actually forget if it was a Marlin or Winchester. I'll have to check.

Great gun. Never had a malfunction with mine. Converted it to lefty since I'm a southpaw. If your gonna get one, get the 92 version and then get a 92FS.

The CX4 is basically my self defense gun.

 

My wife is too short and light for shotgun, and she doesn't have the hand strength to rack the slide on a pistol. The CX4 works for her.

Thanks again. You guys are making me want to start a WTB thread for one of these :).

I'll dis-agree there, that is more of a personal preference want, not a need.Not saying the SP isnt better,it is but not needed.I think the only really "needed" optional part would be the metal guide rod over the plastic one.

I had one and loved it. That being said I sold it about 5 years ago. Dont miss it at all. Now my Keltec Sub 2000 I miss everyday. I have had the Keltec, Beretta and Hi-Point at one point or the other. If I had predicted how popular they would be now....

If I remember correctly the CX4 can be converted for lefties. Its basically ambi.

The Keltec has a version that does use Ber92 mags.

is there a southpaw version of this?

 

yes- the charging handle,ejection port and mag release can all be switched over.

Now I am very interested

Now I am very interested

 

Only takes a few minutes to swap it to lefty. A lot of people run dual charging handles too.

 

I love my Cx4 in 9mm, and the cheap TruGlo red-dot co-witnesses great.
