Is a Beretta CX4 worth the coin???

[FLICK]

I found a NIB 9mm beretta CX4 (carbine) at a local shop for around $750 on Friday and wanted to get everyone's opinion on whether *you* felt it was worth that amount of money. I understand I have to make the decision, etc... But all the 9mm AR stuff seems to be non existent at this point and a 9mm carbine would be a lot of fun. I guess it could double as a HD piece, but my handgun and shotgun situation has that secured.

Looking for opinions, especially from owners. Not a ton of aftermarket support, and mags may be hard to come by right now.

You know, pics help ease the pain, too......

Right now, 750 is a great price. A few years ago, not so much. Like many guns right now, the prices are settling back down. I personally do not have one..(yet) but if I were to get one, I would get it chambered in 92. Those mags are easy to get and are fairly cheap. I just purchased 3 BNIB Beretta 92 17rd mags for 60 bucks and also a 30rd mag for less than 30. If chambered it PX4, you may be limited to 17rd but not completely sure.

As a former owner of one I'll chime in and say that in my opinion they are not worth their price. If you really want an AR in 9mm this will not squash that desire. They are fun to shoot for a while but you will quickly reach and become bored with the rifles potential. It was all I could do to get 600 for mine a few years ago.....

That's a better price than my local Wal-Mart wants, but I personally don't think it's worth half that.

I wish my local Sprawl-Mart was this cool.....

At twenty five yards you can expect one big hole regardless of how many rounds you shoot, at fifty i would say one to three inch groups and at a hundred it would be safe to expect six to eight. To be fair their are guys who LOVE them all over the Berettaforum.net but for me it became the occasional plinker. Ill also add that it NEVER misfed or jammed but I just couldnt fall in love with it so I sold it and never caught myself regretting it. To add something to think about.....the guy who bought it loved them so much he was collecting one in all three calibers.

What, approximately, was the rifles potential at, say, 25, 50, and 100 yards?

Thanks......

This is an old thread but somebody may still stumble across it.

For my money, the Beretta Storm carbine is well worth the money. I wanted a law enforcement quality long gun that would fire cartridges that fit my pistol, and that’s what I got. It is lighter and shorter than my M-4 and plenty accurate for my main purpose, home defense. It just feels good to heft it and given a good spot weld to my cheek, the sights line up quickly. It is just as much fun to shoot as a .22, kicks none as far as I’m concerned, and just looks cool as heck. Based on my experience so far, and with thousands of rounds shot through my Beretta handguns, you can load it Sunday and shoot it till Doomsnight without a hitch.

India bought 40K of the MX-4, so it must be very grunt-proof. MX-4 is the select fire version, with shorter barrel. Been hunting for A CX-4 for some time at a decent price, but everything now is gone.

The latest version has smaller "wings" near the safety button, and more material surrounding the safety. Seems the Indian military had problems with the push-thru selector getting bumped and thus Beretta added more material around that area. I've read that the trigger has also been improved due to Indian feedback also.

I hope the OP made his decision on whether or not to buy one before this buying panic. After all this thread is 7 years old.

Prior to the panic I did note their prices came down to the $600 mark. Although I didn't care for mine, they are still on the market so they did stand the test of time.
