Beretta Cx4 Storm

[7th_Sephiroth]

i have manny questions about this firearm, what do they cost? are they worth the cost? are they a fun thing to take out to a fireing range?

1. Personally

I've never seen the point of shooting a pistol caliber out of a carbine length rifle. It's a total waste for my purposes.

With that said, I would find a semi auto Uzi carbine for about the same price. Normal capacity mags are dirt cheap for the Uzi, they don't exist for you and I yet for the Storm.

Last time I checked, the Storms were running $600-650 for the 9mm variant. Roughly the same price for the .40 S&W and .45 ACP models.

2. it has its advantages

basically better accuracy without the penertation on insane range

3. Normal capacity magazines

The Storms actually accept Beretta pistol (92/96) magazines, so they are out there. They are not as cheap -- or as large -- as the Uzi mags, of course.

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000's are not nearly as stylish as the Storms, but they are cheaper and are fun to shoot. There are versions which accept Glock, Beretta, Sig, or S&W magazines in 9mm or .40S&W.

7. .45 is not released yet

I will definitely buy one as I reload 1000's of .45 ACP for my 1911.
