The Beretta Cx4

The Beretta Cx4 Storm is a pistol-caliber carbine aimed at the sporting, personal defense and law enforcement markets. Seven different models accept full-size Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and Px4 series pistols in 9x21 IMI (its original caliber), 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP
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 9mm can be used in the Cx4 (also chambered in 9mm). 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 9x19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W magazines of the Px4 require the C5C620 insert and C89210 release button. Every caliber can be purchased with Cx4 magazines that only fit the CX4. The .45 ACP only comes in this way.
