Maybe a camping gun? :-D

I'm not a huge rifle person, but I rented one and shot it - it is a nice gun. I would definetly put a scope on it - I don't care for the little peep sight too much. But, I would like one eventually. I wish they were cheaper.

I have one in 9mm and love it, it's reliable, both fun and cheap to shoot and very accurate for what it is.

Get it just for the fun of it. Pistol caliber carbines can be great fun to shoot, and you get the added joy of them using the same mags as your pistol.

I wish it wasn't QUITE so expensive. $100 less, and I would probably already have one

Buy a 9mm Hi-Point Carbine and get this ATI stock. This new stock may be the reason I end up buying a hipoint.

Yea, I saw that in a magazine.

I have seen that. I hate how Hi points plastic always looks so shitty! You know what I mean? That wierd almost plastic marble look.

Well, the ATI stock doesn't look too bad. After the price of the gun, shipping, handling, tax, 4 extra magazines, the stock and the compensator, it came to about $310. Now to get a dot for it and i'll be golden.

That's not too bad. I have a friend in another state who has 1 of those (w/ the regular stock), and he says it shoots great.

I have the CX4 Storm in .40 and I love it! And while we're talking about pistol caliber carbines, I also have the Hi-Point 995 (9mm) and the 4095 (.40). I did a head-to-head contest with all three of the .40 carbines and while the Beretta did win, it was only slightly better than the much less expensive Hi-Point. I liked my 40 cal. Hi-Point so much, I bought the 9mm version. But, I did buy it with plans to add the ATI stock. The Hi-Points are certainly ugly, but as an owner of 4 HP's, I can vouch for their accuracy and reliability. The CX4 Storm is a fine weapon with good looks as well. And it is lots of fun to accessorize! It makes a good range gun as well as a very competent HD weapon.

THe HP's do shoot well. I have only shot the 9mm version. You should post a something for your contest in the range report section if you have not already!

I can see the added appeal of the Cx4 Storm in that you can accessorize and customize it, just like the AR-15s. I've been thinking about getting an AR-15 before the end of this year just for plinking at the range, but now the Cx4 Storm might do it for me. A few bills cheaper and ammo will be cheaper too.

The High Point looks like it broke it's little back! But the Storm looks pretty good. The HP with the other stock looks pretty decent. Sigh..........I guess they don't make a 10mm, do they?

The Beretta comes in 40, that's 10mm.

Yeah, .40 Short & Weak

I looked at a CX4 in .45 the other day. I'm real tempted but havn't done it yet. I thought the price was ok at $595 with the tactical kit. What have you seen them for in your area.

What is included in the "tactical" kit.

They are $599 here bare. Although, gun show prices are a bit better.

I figured after sales taxes, and all the rails that much be purchased seperately and a scope and front grip and a strap, I may end up spending damn near $800. Thats why I haven't gotten 1.

I've seen them for just under $500 at gun shows. I agree with you. By the time I'm done tricking it out, I would've spent nearly $1000. But that's part of the appeal to me. Like buying a car and fixing it up. You get to enjoy every mod that you put on it instead of getting one all modded out.

Well, being that I am not really a rifle person, I don'tw anna spend that much - granted, I have on a handgun.

It I could get it for $500 w/ the rails, I would.

The 9mm one appeals to me because I can plink around with cheap WWB and switch between that and my XD9.

That's what I wanna get too - maybe one day - I have a couple other handguns ahead of it on my wish list...

Speaking of which, why don't we have a thread on what are the next 5 guns you're gonna buy?
