The Beretta Cx4 Storm is a pistol-caliber carbine aimed at sporting, personal defense and law enforcement. Seven different models accept full-size Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and Px4 series pistols in 9mm Luger, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. The cold-forged 16.6-inch (422 mm) barrel is chrome-lined. This improves durability and corrosion resistance.
History
The Cx4 Storm was developed to be used in conjunction with other Beretta semi-automatic pistols. For example, the magazines for the Beretta 92FS chambered in 9 mm can be used in the Cx4 (also chambered in 9 mm). This aids in a smaller loadout — no longer needing to carry separate magazines for the rifle and handgun — and adds redundancy, allowing a person to carry more ammunition without adding weight. Using the non-Beretta Storm Magazines require a two piece kit (not included with rifle). The pieces consist of the following:
The 9mm Luger and .40 S&W magazines of the Px4 require the C5C620 insert and C89210 release button.
