Beretta Cx4 Storm - The 9mm Plinker

Published on February 15, 2022
Duration: 16:49

The Beretta Cx4 Storm in 9mm is reviewed as a comfortable and accurate plinker, capable of hitting targets at 150-200 yards. While it boasts ambidextrous features and uses reliable Beretta 92-series magazines, its recent refresh is criticized for lacking a threaded barrel and QD sling mounts. The high MSRP of $899 and a heavy trigger pull over 8 pounds make it less competitive against modern PCCs for tactical use.

Quick Summary

The Beretta Cx4 Storm 9mm is a comfortable and accurate plinker, effective up to 200 yards, with ambidextrous features. However, its 30-round factory magazines are unreliable, while 92-series mags work well. Criticisms include the lack of a threaded barrel and high $899 MSRP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key criticisms of the Beretta Cx4 Storm's recent refresh?

The reviewer criticizes Beretta for not including a threaded barrel or QD sling mounts in the recent update. Additionally, the new 'fencing' around the safety selector makes it harder to operate, detracting from its usability.

How reliable are the magazines for the Beretta Cx4 Storm?

During testing, the 30-round factory magazines for the Cx4 Storm consistently malfunctioned. However, standard 15-round magazines designed for the Beretta 92-series pistols proved to be perfectly reliable in the carbine.

What is the range performance and accuracy of the Beretta Cx4 Storm?

The Cx4 Storm is described as an accurate 'plinker,' capable of hitting targets reliably at distances of 150-200 yards. It offers comfortable shooting with recoil comparable to a 9mm AR-15.

Is the Beretta Cx4 Storm considered a good value for its price?

The reviewer finds the Beretta Cx4 Storm to be overpriced at an $899 MSRP. For serious tactical use, it lacks modern features found in competitors like the B&T SPC9 or CZ Scorpion Evo, making it less competitive.
