I picked up a new Beretta CX4 in 9mm yesterday at the PDX gunshow. $575 out the door. Not a bad price. Planning to use the gun with my recently purchased FN Hi-Power (CDNN for $399) as a home defense combo along with my Mossy Persuader 12 gauge.
I put 100 rounds through my new CX4 last night in my laundry room, 50 Win USA 115 gr. JHP and 50 Win 147 gr. TCMC, with about half being fired at a high rate of speed... I was mostly just interested in seeing how well the gun ran with a high rate of fire... it sped through it lickity split without a bobble of any kind.
As I broke the gun down and checked out the details of it I was very, very impressed. The design & engineering of the gun is amazing... truly a remarkably well thought out and executed gun. And of very hi quality materials. The rubber beautifully integrated into the polymer stock is very nice. The break-down is mind-bogglingly simple, fast, and tool-less. Push out one plug with your finger and the upper comes off the lower. Pull out the slide lever and the bolt slides out of the upper... that's it! The versatility of reversing all the controls from right to left or vice-versa is really cool. Now I want to buy a couple more barrels, one in .40 and one in .45 just to round things out.
The 15 round mags that came with the gun are Mec-Gar made Beretta mags, excellent quality. Sure is fun to blast through 15+1 rounds in a hot hurry - (good thing I reload!). I need to get some of the 20-rounders.
Looks like it could be another 6 months or so before the new PX4 is shipping to regular folks, so I'm in no hurry to jump on that. My new FN Hi-Power 9mm (bought from CDNN recently for $399) makes a great companion gun to the CX4.
I got a chance to check out the Ruger P9 at the gunshow yesterday and must confess I'd love to have one of those as well. I do prefer the more ttraditional looks of the Ruger and I know it's an exceptional gun, but the features and versatility of the Storm really won me over. Being the gun freak that I am, I think I'll probably also wind up with a Ruger P9 before too long... they're very nice indeed!
Now to figure out my accessorization of the Storm... I need to pick up some rails for it and I would like a nice reticle hologram scope, a Surefire combat light, barrel shroud. I'm going to pass on the vertical "post" front grip... I very much prefer the traditional feel of holding the forestock like a rifle. This is most certainly a fun rifle!
Anyone added additional barrels to their CX4 yet? Any idea on cost and availability?
