Beretta CX4 9mm or no?

LOL, I just started looking at the CX4. The idea of a carbine that takes 9MM rounds is appealing to me for some reason and the CX4 is a cool looking gun in my book (especially since I have a Baikal MP161K which looks pretty similar to the CX4).

A couple of things that might keep me from getting the CX4:
1. Magazines - it would be so much better if it took Glock magazines since I have an ever growing collection of 9mm magazines for my 34 and 19 already.
2. Not having the opportunity to shoot one before buying it. At about $800 retail I would like to try it before buying it.

The Kel Tec Sub2000 is somewhat more appealing from a cost and magazine perspective ($400 and it takes G17 magazines) but it certainly is not as cool looking as the CX4.

 

Get a 16 inch drop in barrel for your Glock and add the roni kit. That's what I am saving for

 

LOL, went to local gun shop today and asked around about the CX4. Turns out that a friend of a friend is thinking of trading theirs in... if that happens and the price is right I might pick it up.

 

I cant find any keltec sub2k for under $500. they are sold out everywhere

 

Thread moved to the General Firearms subforum...

 

I would get the cx4 just because I'm a big sci fi nerd and it's the gun all the soldiers use on battlestar galactica.

 

LOL, I love BSG. I actually forgot that the CX4 was in there. They used so many different real guns it is hard to keep track of without something like:

Thats too expensive for me man. Id rather get something else for that price

 

Makes me regret selling my sub 2000 in 40. I remember when I was 19 and paid under $350 for it in BNIB. Don't remember why I sold it, but I regret it though.

 

I picked up a CX4 a couple months ago at a gun show for $500, and I totally love it. I use it with a 1x holo sight for close in stuff, and my ar for the longer stuff. Never had a problem with it, and it takes all beretta 92 and Taurus 92/99 type magazines. It is a fun gun and good for HD as well. Hope this helps, but probably just makes it worse!!

 

LOL, it does, still waiting for one in 9mm to pop up for a price I am willing to pay. Some folks are asking silly money for theirs... it pays to research and watch prices on the various sites.

 

I had one when they first came out, fun little gun, but the hicap after market mags would not feed worth a crap.

I'd go with a hipoint or keltec carbine, or just get an AR15.

 

Not that I am aware of.
