The carbine also features four sling attachment points, a crossbolt safety, a rubberized stock cheekpiece, and a rubber recoil pad with removable stock spacer. Main controls like the safety, magazine release, cocking handle, and ejector are reversible for lefties, and takedown is a matter of pushing the latch pin out and sliding off the front part of the carbine for access to the internals. 45ACP, and accepts Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and PX4 series. The CX4 carbine comes in three calibers, 9mm. The Storm carries its magazine Uzi-style, inside the pistolgrip, where it’s a natural hand-meets-hand orientation for quick reloads in any lighting without having to divert the eyes from more critical things like threats, moving to cover, and so on. Both front and rear sights can be folded down completely for use with any optical sight that can be installed on, or adapted to, the standard full-length Picatinny rail on top of the gun, and there are other short rail options available from Beretta for side-mounted accessories besides the standard retractable fore-end rail under the barrel. Sights are amply protected from impacts inside substantial polymer “ears,” with the front post adjustable for windage and elevation using a tool supplied with the carbine, and the rear adjustable for short and long range by flipping up the appropriate “S” and “L” aperture. With an overall length of 29.7 inches and an unloaded weight of 5.7 pounds, the compact carbine carries, handles, and maneuvers through cramped confines quite well. The Storm is a very handy 16.6-inch carbine that uses a simple and reliable straight blowback action in a lightweight polymer stock and receiver, and Beretta’s design team has incorporated several useful features into the CX4 that make it a candidate for private purchase use on the job. Toss in a very light package, easy operation with one hand, high magazine capacity, light recoil, commonality of caliber and magazine with certain pistols, very respectable accuracy, and the ability to customize to individual user’s needs and sizes, and you have the Beretta CX4 Storm carbine. In today’s downsized and crowded patrol car, a long gun that carries its own spare ammunition on board, comes out of the cruiser door in a hurry, and readily takes tight corners inside buildings is naturally going to have some appeal for everyone from marked patrol units to plainclothes details.
