I took my new Beretta CX-4 Storm out to the range today for the first time, and I'm very happy with the purchase.
It is not obvious from the pic, but I set the rifle up for left side ejection, and left handed safety operation.
I got it last week from Bud's. It's in 9mm and configured to use Beretta 92 (M-9) magazines. With me I had the two original 15 round mags, plus four Mec-Gar 20 rounders. All worked just fine but I like the longer Mec-Gars a bit better, because they are easier to fully seat, since the base isn't recessed as much in the bottom of the pistol grip.
The gun digested 255 rounds without a hitch: 100 Federal 115 grain FMJ bulk pack, 145 Brown Bear (lacquered steel case) 115 FMJ, and 10 American Eagle 147 grain FMJ-FP loads. I shot at 50 yards and from the bench, I'm able to keep my group inside the black of an SR-1 target. The short sight radius and heavy trigger pull limit how precise you can shoot, IMO. Also, last night I opened up the apertures on the rear sight so that they now provide a ghost ring sight picture. The original factory apertures might tighten my groups a little but they are too small for anything other than target shooting, again IMO.
(I pulled the IDPA target out of the trash to use as a cleaning mat. I didn't shoot it.)
Aside from the trigger it's a real pleasure to shoot. I'll do the hammer mod to reduce the trigger pull but didn't want to tinker with the gun's innards before I tested it.
After I got home I ordered a Bushnell TRS-25 to go on the Storm. I also have a light mount, rail mount sling loop, and tactical sling on order. Overall, I am very happy with the Storm and look forward to shooting it a lot more.
