How about the Beretta CX4 Storm?

Rave · 05-12-2004, 11:10 PM

Handled one today,very light and compact,excellent sights,balanced so well you can shoot it like a pistol,uses Beretta mags,but was priced at $599,hummmmm,could use a little feedback here.
Dealer said he has sold quite a few and all feedback is good,but he is trying to sell them and has not fired one himself.:assult:

You can't go wrong here. Knowing Beretta's dependability it looks like it's weiner!!!

Haven't seen one up close. I don't think you can wrong here.

I'd get it! Six bills I find rasonable for what you are getting here, i.e. a dependable, pistol caliber carbine that is not made in a Soviet Bloc country. Get it Rave.

fired one at the range last week where I do a lot of business -- the guys comped me some ammo and handed me the carbine for eval. The only problem I found with the gun is that the trigger could use some work otherwise it is right up there in the quality range and its definitiely worth the bucks for a pistol cal carbine. Makes a good Homedefense gun

Thanks,feedback appreciated.Went on line and downloaded and printed the owners manual.Seems like the basic action is the updated Mac-11 with the cocking bolt on the side.
These folks thought everything out as far as I can tell,even to locking the bolt back by lifting the bolt release lever,by the way,it lacks back after the last shot,simple takedown,no tools needed,and all of the controls can be reversed to left hand including the ejection.
Gonna get one unless something bad comes up in the feedback or other source.
Haven't seen any advertised by distributors in the shotgun news so don't know if that is a good price. Owners manual says sndp of $800.oo,Gun and ammo says $675.00,but no one pays retail.
The $599.00 is new,might be good price,but I am going to check some more,still a nice piece of changa,buti it is really nice and I am lusting.
They are also available in .40S&W and .45acp.
Again,thanks for the feed back and will look for more and cintribute as able. :uzi:

Too Star Wars looking for me...got one at the local dealer...$549.

jerry · 05-15-2004, 07:04 AM

If I had silly money, I'd consider it.

Rave · 05-15-2004, 07:29 AM

It does have that star wars look,no doubt about it,but it handles so well,weighs about 5.75 pounds.
I normally like steel and wood in my blasters,one reason the AK appeals so much to me,have one and am not parting with it,but this thing is slick,try it ,you just might like it.
Still searcing for more info,nothing in the shotgun news yet,where do the dealers get them? :uzi:

BattleRifleG3 · 05-17-2004, 11:47 AM

$550 is a great price for one. It's not in my budget yet, but may be some time.

Rave · 05-21-2004, 11:09 PM

I couldn't stand it any more so I took the old plastic and bought the Beretta cx4,I feel so much better now. :assult:

ScottD · 05-21-2004, 11:10 PM

Range report coming up?

Rave · 05-22-2004, 11:07 AM

The low cap mags supplied with the gun are 15 round mags that were crimped to make them single stack and are a pain to load and will be discarded or traded for double stack.
I will keep you informed of developments. :ballons:

Rave · 05-23-2004, 04:25 PM

Traded the two offending ten round mags for two fifteen round aftermarket mags,will let you all know how they work out.
