Any of you guys own a Beretta CX4 Storm carbine?
I shot an USPSA match at Blackwater last weekend. One of the guys used his for the carbine side match. After the stage was over he let me shoot a mag through it. I thought it was a damn fun little gun. It was also very accurate for what is. At 75 yards I was 15/15 on one of the little Blackwater swingers. That’s not bad considering the owner told me he had never even sighted it in.
I would love to have one.
They are great little pistol caliber carbines, with reliable 15, 17, and 20 rd. mags available in 9mm.
So, if’n you want it, what’s stopping you? 
Hint: $$$ = New 1911A1.
When that’s paid off (Plus the wife cool off period ends - I’m on thin ice as we speak) all bets are off. I thought it was a perfect “fun” gun.
Cmon Dinger you know you want one.
They are neat carbine’s. I had the one below for a few years and when I would go to clarks bro’s we would set targets up at the 100yd line and the thing with the aimpoint would actually reach out and hit every time.
I ended up giving it to my neighbor(Korean war vet) as a present for installing a central A/C (I didnt even know he was doing it) unit this past summer.
We have at least two shooters that come out to our matches that run them, and both do quite well with them. We are limited to about 100 yards at our matches, but the Storms perform more than adequately at those distances.
I do believe that it’s more about the indian than the arrow, but it is nice to know that the arrow isn’t hindering some very competent indians.
We also have a club locally that does steel matches, and you are limited to pistol-caliber carbines to shoot these matches (obviously any pistol is OK). I think they would work quite well for this as well.
Personally, I think I’d still prefer a 9mm AR, but the storm is a much more cost-efficient option, and if I was a cop that was issued a Beretta 92/96 I think I’d look real hard at the Storm.
My wife has been shopping for one for about 3 months now. Dealer is having a hard time finding a 9mm one that takes 92 mags.
A couple of years ago got a 9mm 1911 so I could shoot cheap, 9mm factory ammo. Factory 9mm isn’t nearly as cheap anymore, but it’s still a lot less than .45 and 5.56/.223 right now, so I have the urge to get a 9mm carbine to shoot 3-matches. My local club has 25x25 yard bays, so it would be fine for that purpose.
Like everyone else, a 9mm AR would be the first choice, but since the idea is economy, the Beretta is looking pretty good. Actually the Kel-Tec is looking good, but it would be difficult to mount a red dot. So I’m skulking around looking for a used (but functional) CX4 in 9mm . . .
I have been considering a purchase of a Storm too.
We will just have to see what happens!
I bought one when they first came to market in 9mm and it accepted the 92 mags. It functioned well with 15 rd. mags, however the 20’s did not function well in mine. If I remeber correctly the 20’s tended to over-insert due to the extra length.
After buying all the rails and mags, I think I had close to $800.00 into the carbine. I sold it and bought a Colt 6450 for a couple hundred dollars more and could not be happier
YMMV
I have had mine for about two years. Flawless with Beretta and Mecgar 15 & 20 round mags. It is my fun gun and is dead on within 75 yards. Have not really shot past that. Very handy size and is actually an inch or two shorter than an AR carbine with the stock collapsed. I have been quite impressed with mine so far. Probably have close to 1500 + rounds through it so far. I can shoot this little space gun all day long:D
I’ve shot one.
I’m not sure the ergonomics are my cup of tea, but yeah it’s still fun.
Something confuses me: Did they used to take 92 mags, but newer ones don’t? If so, what do they take?
They make the 9mm in a version for 92 mags and one for PX4 mags.
Gothcha… and that’s good to know.
Thanks.
I sold mine to an Arfcommer about a year ago and have regretted it ever since. 
I have to say that the Storm is the best pistol cal. carbine of them all. It’s priced right, accessories out the wazoo, accurate. I’ve had an HK USC that was supposed to be all the rage but the trigger would stick after each shot. I’ve had A Vector Uzi that did nothing but jam. The Storm was sweet from the first shot right up until this afternoon. No jams in about a thousand rounds. I did lose an ejector when I cleaned it once. I don’t know what I did with it. I called Berretta and 14 dollars later I was back in action. The weapon has a good company behind it, unlike the HK where the factory sent my rifle back saying that the trigger was normal.
Very fun little gun. A buddy of mine has one in 9mm. I plan on adding one to the collection as soon as funds will allow.
Tspeis
I have put several thousand rounds of a wide variety of ammo through my 9mm Beretta carbine without a single malfunction. It is a great little weapon, also being very compact and lightweight.
FYI, there is an inexpensive and easily installed magazine adapter manufactured by Beretta which allows one to use any of Beretta’s 9mm pistol magazines (e.g., 92 series, Cougar, PX4).
I am going to post a link to an article about William And Mary college choosing them as there campus police carbine.
I have no evidence so this is my subjective opinion but I would think a pistol caliber was the criteria for collateral damage issues.
I shot one in 9 and it kicked more than a USC in .45. Must be the weight or the mechanism or something.
Anyhow, the gun is a ton of fun to shoot, and if you all ready own a Berreta handgun, your set for mags. I’m sure this would be great in competition shooting where you want ease of transfer from pistol to rifle or vice-versa.
If I could legally own one and had the extra cash to get it, and couldn’t find a USC, I’d get one.
My department issues them. There aren’t too many people that I speak to who like them. We also use 92Ds, so you have one nice feature in which you can use your duty mags in them. I would rather have an AR15 with 30 than a Storm with 60.
They are issued with Eotechs (another conversation) and Streamlight TLR-1s. No sling. The last is everyone’s biggest gripe, next to caliber, and is being worked on.
IMO, its hard to take a gun seriously in which all the fire control parts are plastic, including the hammer. Worst trigger feel ever.
The only thing it brings to a fight, in my case, is the mounted flashlight and RDS.
