Just got this sweet little carbine in 9mm and ordered STEEL PARTS from SierraPapa.com to make it run well.
Need good defense loads in 9mm. Ideas please. Thanks.

I like this carbine. I think you made an excellent choice! I intend to pick one up in the future. Well made, fairly priced, and very handy. It, and a Beretta Storm Pistol in the same caliber would make and excellent modern day pistol / rifle combo package. Let us know how she runs! Bill T.

I have read, and I'm sure you have as well, that you want to be careful about SD rounds in carbines. The problem being that a lot of good pistol rounds aren't designed for the higher velocities and this can cause problems for JHPs. I believe Speer's bonded Gold Dot will work, but I would call the factory (either Speer or Beretta) and ask.

Found that they feed better than the gold dots and other JHP 9MM.
More rounded nose, yet have been found to perform at least as good or better then other JHP.
If feed not a problem also like HST and Gold Dots.

I like the Winchester Ranger +P+ for the 9mm, but you need to check with Beretta to see if the gun can handle the pressure. I think they come in 115 & 127 grain bullets. The boxes are marked LEO only so you may or may not be able to get them in your area. The muzzle energy on these runs about 450 ft lb. And at $35 or so for 50rds their a little less expensive than most other PD ammo.

Now Im confused, do these rifles utilize the Beretta 92F mags?
-
There's a model that accepts M9/92 mags and one that take Px4mags.

Winchester PDX1 147 gr.
Good luck!

Hope it looks better than the PX4 Pistol. ::)
Great Carbine choice though, congratulations!
Post some pics!!!!!

I have fired these a couple of times in different configurations and overall I'd like to get one some day. I don't like the factory sights...to small and hard to acquire. The thing works really well with a red dot. After a couple of hundred rounds there were no problems with operation.

CHECK OUT Seiarrea Pappa.com for goodies to make the carbine tougher.
They also remove the sight towers and replace all the plasctic internals which wear or break with steel.
Makes for a mean looking weapon which can shoot with the best of them.
Thanks to all who posted help and advice.
I think I shall stick with GOLD DOT bullets (Golden Saber uses them too ) but not the High Pressure rounds.

I've wanted one since it was used as a prop on the remake of Battlestar Galactica. Especially equipped with an Aimpoint CompM3. It just looks like it would be the Z4 of the pistol cal carbine world. If I had the cash now I would probably be driving over the river tomorrow. If I don't get a CX4 I would probably ending up dumping a crap load for a PS90.

Who? SEIARREAPAPPA.COM? or SP.COM or ????

http://www.sierrapapacx4.com/ will get you there.
This guy knows the CX4 inside and out and has made some excellent parts of steel to replace the plastic stuff.

Cool. Thanks.

Does anyone know if Beretta 92, 9 MM magazines will fit in the CX-4 Storm carbine? Bill T.

BILL: Yes, Beretta 92 mags work with the STORM Carbine in 9mm as well as the 96 in 40 S&W.
I use 20 round mags in mine and they work very well.
