      Can’t Argue with that. It’s exactly why I bought one as a bug out gun and home defense weapon. It’s chambered in 9mm which is one of the most common rounds in the world, has little recoil, weighs only 5.6 pounds, is compact, accurate, 92 series 30-35 round mags are plentiful and cheap, and it cycles anything you feed it. Can’t ask for much more from a gun. A replaceable or foldable/collapsible stock and a threaded barrel are the only two things this bad boy could use. But I am very pleased with this weapon overall. Mainly it’s proven ability to shoot 1,000 rounds of practically all brands and loads flawlessly without a single cleaning. That’s a feat even some pricier guns can’t do.

    Yes, I didn't show the rail that extends. The Safety, at least while new and not broken in, is not as ergonomic as an AR for sure. Way better than an AK, though. :-) I just discovered, though, that I can pretty easily disengage the safety with the knuckle on my trigger finger pretty easily. Engaging it is quite another proposition, though. Requires using the left hand or changing grip.

      Too bad I got one last year for a bit less. It sucks when the dollar drops. Did you get the special Canadian edition with the longer barrel? I did and funny thing is my carbine is unrestricted, but a buddy of mine's M4/C8 mock up which is restricted is actually longer overall. Love our stupid laws. Anyways, good shooting. BTW, this is an assume firearm with a Red Dot sight for shooting coyotes when in wooded areas, an excellent camp gun if you are in remote locations, and a fantastically fun range gun that you can take to your favourite hunk of Crown Land.

  • @blackcountry6660
    @blackcountry6660 9 років тому +50

    I am puzzled to see, how little the shooting community understands the functionality of the lower connection beam on the Berette CX 4 storm. There are even shooters, who remove the connection.
    This is why you should not remove it or get confused about the « beam »:
    The lower connection between the buttstock and the pistol grip is a HANDLE.
    The Beretta CX 4 (as the Taurus CT 9 and Caracal CC 10) use the same ergonomical approach. If you do long-distance, precision shooting with the gun mounted on a for-end tripod (or a sand pillow), you can grab the lower beam (handle) between the stock and the pistol grip with your « free » hand, while placing your elbows on the shooting table or ground. By doing so, you block the stock, as if it would be held in a bench vice. It is not a design gimmick - but a pretty intelligent solution.
    As for dynamic sport shooting like IPSC, this lower handle offers an alternative grip and can be helpful, when moving in close quarter stages.
    Hope this helps.

New shooter that was with me was able to hit targets over and over (same could not be said with the other weapons we took). Out of the box sights were almost dead on, 2 ticks to the left and the gun was grouping 2" at 25 yards. Love it, so far don't have a negative thing to say about it.

    If I found myself in a WROL scenario, I would have my LC9 in my pocket, my XDm 9mm on my side, and my Storm slung over my shoulder. It is expensive, but it is worth it. Very ergonomic, and it is built as solid as my XDm. It is a beautiful, superb functioning carbine... :0)

There are 2 Magazines that fit these depending on which you order or buy (adapter's sold by Beretta if you need to change) 92 mags or the Storm mags. 92 and Storm mags are different and are not inter-changeable (buy according to your firearm)
    Awesome combo, owning pistol and carbine taking same mags. flawless function with 115 gr to 147 gr ammo! Real winner!

    I have 2 of these. A 9mm using 92 mags and a .40 using PX4 mags. I have matching pistols for each. I had the Sierra Papa internals installed and they run much smoother and trigger is lightened. .40 is formidable in a carbine. According to "Ballistics by the Inch" it picks up 300+ FPS in a 16" barrel. This puts it in 10mm territory. A Burris Fast fire 3 will perfectly co witness with the sights. (as will a Bushnell TRs25) I've tried both and prefer the Burris... I have one mounted on both my rifles.

    Just bought one of these rifles a couple of weeks ago, love it so far. Here in Canada we are restricted to 10 rd magazines and it comes with a 19" barrel. Not real cheap here though, with tax it was just under $1,300.

    On a side note, around the 2:30 mark, correct me if I'm wrong, but the bullets ricochet off the metal into the 2 liter? Wouldn't that make you a little nervous knowing it could have come back at you? Just m paranoid self I guess. Great job though.

      I bought a .40 for $499.00. .40 is great in a carbine... the longer barrel improves the velocity much more than in a 9mm. A .40 CorBon in a 16" barrel gets the same velocity/energy as a 10mm... it really whacks the steel.

      @mikeh478 8 років тому +1

      +hickok45 TOTALLY AGREE!!! This thing is a great shooter and feels good to hold because of the "bulk" to it. If you have a Beretta 92FS your mags will be interchangeable. You can actually put different mags in the CX4 with interchangeable mag kit.

    • @warmachine_1396
      @warmachine_1396 7 років тому +1

      Lawrence Oliver a The Ruger PC9 is another great choice that takes Ruger P Series magazines. Yes, I know it's not made anymore before someone comments on that. I found mine on gunbroker with a bunch of magazines. 15 rnd and 30rnd magazines. It's a great little carbine.

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  12 років тому +1

    That pretty much sums it up. I rather like it, too, and it uses all the 92FS magazines I have. A little pricy, but it seems to be of good quality. Tough call because of the price; it if were $400.00, they'd sell ten million of them, I think. Of course, if it were $400.00, it might be a plastic piece of junk that nobody would want. :-)

    The best carbine I've ever owned (not many) is a beretta cx4 storm 9mm and a 45. I bought the 9mm when I was 19 and was sold to me because it was a rifle but had to always go back to the place I bought it to get ammo because I was 19 🤦‍♂️ I'm 33 now. That is the most reliable and accurate gun I have ever owned. We've put tens of thousands of rounds through it and still dosent jam (with new mags, had a issues with the originals later in its life)and with iron sights still has a 1" group.

  • @whitelightning7772
    @whitelightning7772 10 років тому +6

    I just love mine!! My duty gun is a full size PX4 in 40. My CX4 is also in 40 and takes the same magazines. The CX4 can take several different magazines from Beretta in various configurations. It can be matched either to the M92 or PX4 Storm handgun. My girlfriend has "adopted" the CX4 as her very own!!

    I used to see these guns at the store and thought it's the fuglyest thing ever. Then I saw a used one with a barrel shroud and the extra rails and it looked cool. I asked to hold it and it just fit me like a glove. I'm 6'2 245lbs. I bought it and love it! The only bad thing was I had to buy a 92fs cause they take same mags. Great system. Very accurate! Wish I had another.

  • @TheVikingbob

      @markej4801 10 років тому +2

      Yep, you are officially in trouble. I have the PX4/CX4 combo and it is addicting! Make sure the one you buy is set for the 92, since it's sold both ways. If you find a used one for the PX4, no worries; you can buy the sleeve to fit the gun for not too much money. the 92/CX4 combo has the advantage of those wonderful 30rd mags. :)

It's just great to see all the different firearms put through their paces without any nonsense or blatant advertising. I find it relaxing and informative.

      @ragimundvonwallat8961 7 років тому +3

      hahaha im sure you are trolling...but no, the strength of the firing pin have nothing to do with velocity its not a BB gun , its the powder charge that produce the energy...the firing pin only strike the primer that set the charge off...you could have a 1000 hp firing pin and it would shoot any faster.
      a longer barrell USUALLY gave better velocity because the powder can have a little more time to burn completly...in this case with a 9mm its usually 150-400 feet per second faster out of a carbine...depend alot of the specific round

    I like how you are having so much fun with the gun. I just ordered the 9mm version. I feel the same way as you. When I first saw this gun, I really didn't like the way it looked. Then I finally rented one at the range and was suprised how how easy it was to shoot.
    I'm in Canada, so this is a "scary assault weapon" and the law only allows me to bring this to the range (with a transport permit). I'd LOVE to plink in the bush, but then I'd get 5 years.

    I don't have specific numbers, but I've heard that there is a significant velocity increase. The carbine is effective out to over 100 yards if you are. Beretta used a very efficient cycling system, so there is no wasted gas behind the round.

    That is a neat gun. I like the hi-point ts995. Shoots the same ammo as the p95 and for around $400 its loaded with, flash sup, red-dot, forward grip, sling, red lazer, springs on the buttstock that help with recoil, and a flashlight. Its also very reliable and well built. I never wanted a hi-point cause the pistols are so bulky but this one its awesome. My 8 ear old shot it for his first time. That lazer had him on target every time.
