This has to be one of the most fun rifles I have had the opportunity to shoot. The Beretta CX4 Storm is on the cutting edge of pistol caliber carbines. With an all polymer frame it is extremely lightweight. The rifle is completely reversible for left hand shooters. A selling point on this rifle is its interchangeable magazines with Beretta pistols. The one we have here is my favorite, the 9mm with Beretta 92/m9 mags. This allows you to purchase 15 or 20 round factory mags. 9mm is an excellent choice for this carbine. With a 16 inch barrel a good 9mm load hits you almost like a .357 Magnum. Most 9mm loads will break 1300 fps out of a rifle length barrel. Along with having pretty much no recoil, this gun is dead on accurate out of the box. All my friends and I took turns shooting half dollar groups at 75 feet with moderate rapid fire. With some practice, you really could put every shot through one hole on your target.
The CX4 is lightweight, compact, and maneuverable. Perfect for home defense when a rifle is too bulky or over penetration is an issue. I would trust my life to the iron sights on this rifle, whether engaging multiple targets or making that crucial shot with non-targets close by. At the indoor range when we first started practicing with this rifle, I sent the silhouette to 75 feet and shot 20 rounds as fast as I could alternating chest-head-chest-head. I ended up with a pair of 3” groups dead center chest and dead center face. Coming in around 700$ and offered in 9mm, .40S&W, and 45ACP, this carbine is a good pickup for HD or recreational shooting. In a survival setting, 9mm is the most widely used caliber and stocking up would be dirt cheap compared to larger calibers.
the 115 grain HP load from Speer is going 1200 fps out of a 4 inch barrel.
