It&#8217;s had a fairly mediocre first decade, being mostly overshadowed by &#8220;real&#8221; black rifles like AR and AK variants. But it&#8217;s no secret that I&#8217;m a sucker for <a title=\"Real Men Don\u2019t Need Big Bullets: A Tribute to The Pistol Caliber Carbine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/real-men-dont-need-big-bullets-tribute-pistol-caliber-carbines\/\">pistol caliber carbines<\/a>, and I want to do my part to give some extra exposure to Beretta&#8217;s underdog.<\/p> <p>I&#8217;ll be honest, though: the CX4 is not a\u00a0<em>great<\/em> firearm. In its stock form, it&#8217;s\u00a0<em>pretty good<\/em>, but it needs a little help to tap into its full potential.\u00a0So in case you&#8217;re looking for some new ideas for how you can be quickly\u00a0parted from your money, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done to get the most out of my CX4.<\/p> <h3>Suppressed SBR Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm<\/h3> <div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/player.js\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/1t1dh87v7q.js\" async type=\"module\"><\/script><\/p> <style>wistia-player[media-id='1t1dh87v7q']:not(:defined) &#x7B; background: center \/ contain no-repeat url('https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/1t1dh87v7q\/swatch'); display: block; filter: blur(5px); padding-top:56.25%; &#x7D;<\/style> <p> <wistia-player media-id=\"1t1dh87v7q\" seo=\"false\" dnt=\"1\" aspect=\"1.7777777777777777\"><\/wistia-player><\/div> <p>Out of the box, the CX4 isn&#8217;t too bad when\u00a0considered for what it\u00a0purports\u00a0to be\u00a0&#8212; a reliable, lightweight, compact self-defense carbine in 9mm or .40S&amp;W that uses the common Beretta 92 series or PX4 series magazines. When you consider the $915 MSRP, it&#8217;s&#8230; ehhh, only\u00a0<em>okay<\/em>.\u00a0Fortunately, real world prices often hover closer to the $650-700 range. So if you find a deal, and add a little imagination, you can end up with\u00a0a pretty\u00a0slick little package.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2.jpg\" alt=\"9mm Beretta CX4 Storm SBR\" width=\"1320\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2-600x255.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-2-350x149.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>As it arrives from the factory, the extra few inches of barrel at the muzzle-end of the Storm are quite tragic. The unnecessary extra length\u00a0spoils the otherwise compact profile and quick handling characteristics of the CX4 for purely legal reasons. So after a lengthy wait for the return of my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/faq\/national-firearms-act-short-barreled-rifles-shotguns.html\">&#8220;Mother, may I&#8221; ATF form<\/a>, I had the last 4.5 inches of the barrel unceremoniously hacked off, and the muzzle threaded for a suppressor; in this case, an <a title=\"AAC Ti-Rant 9\" href=\"http:\/\/www.advanced-armament.com\/Ti-RANT-9mm_p_454.html\">AAC Ti-Rant 9<\/a>. The suppressor is made from lightweight titanium and aluminum, so after shortening the barrel, the net result is no discernible change in weight but now it can be fired without hearing protection using <a title=\"9mm - 147 gr JHP - Subsonic - Remington HTP - 50 Rounds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/9-mm-147-gr-jhp-remington-htp-50-rounds\">subsonic 9mm ammo<\/a>.<\/p> <p>The other major change I had to make was\u00a0internal. One of the often-maligned attributes of the Storm is the mushy, heavy trigger pull. Mine weighed in at 11 lbs., and was about as crisp as a wet noodle. That was easily remidied with\u00a0a replacement trigger and hammer\u00a0from <a title=\"Sierra Papa CX4\" href=\"http:\/\/sierrapapacx4.com\/\">Sierra Papa<\/a>, a small company specializing in custom aftermarket parts for the CX4.<\/p> <p>To top it off, I added an <a title=\"Aimpoint H1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aimpoint.com\/products\/all-products\/product-singleview\/product\/Micro%20H-1\/\">Aimpoint H1 <\/a>micro\u00a0red dot optic. I didn&#8217;t want to add any more bulk to the CX4 than necessary, and the H1 weighs only 3.7 oz with the mount. \u00a0Unfortunately, it had to be sent back to\u00a0Aimpoint for some warranty work, so filling in for the time being\u00a0is the larger Aimpoint Pro. Still a good fit for the CX4, though the carbine is not currently quite as svelte as before.<\/p><p><\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31.jpg\" alt=\"Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm SBR\" width=\"981\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31.jpg 981w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31-600x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-31-350x236.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>A final addition was the <a title=\"DeSantis Storm Packer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Desantis-Ambidextrous-Holster-Beretta-Carbine\/dp\/B0048KOFOK\">DeSantis Storm Packer<\/a>, a buttstock mounted storage pouch. It holds two magazines, which is nice if you want to store the rifle unloaded but still ready to go. However, I actually got it to prevent the factory cheek pad from yanking out my beard hair, as it is prone to doing.<\/p> <p>Even though all these mods have raised the overall cost of this CX4 up to premium AR-15 territory, this CX4\u00a0will never have the power or modularity of an AR-15. But it&#8217;s a blast to shoot, it&#8217;s a very maneuverable\u00a0home defense carbine, and can be fired at almost any shooting range, indoor or outdoor.<\/p> <h3>Custom Beretta CX4 Storm Specs<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4.jpg\" alt=\"Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm\" width=\"1404\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4-600x236.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4-1024x403.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4-768x302.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/beretta-cx4-4-350x138.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Caliber: 9mm<br \/> Overall Length: 25&#8243;<br \/> Barrel Length: 12&#8243;<br \/> Weight (without accessories): 5.55 lbs<br \/> Magazines: Beretta 92 series (pictured with 20-round Mec-Gar extended magazine)<br \/> Suppressor: AAC Ti-Rant 9<br \/> Optic: Aimpoint Pro<br \/> Sierra Papa\u00a0trigger and hammer<br \/> Desantis\u00a0Storm Packer stock pouch<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beretta CX4 Storm carbine was originally released back in 2003.
