Noticing a lot of pistol caliber carbines being sold

I've ordered some parts for the CX4, I have a TruGlo reflex sight and a Magpul vertical fore grip on the way...haven't decided on a light for it yet, but I'm sure I've got something I can throw on it.

I've found MecGar mags for it and they're about 1/3 the price of the Beretta mags. The MecGar mags run flawless in it and are virtually a clone of the Beretta 92 mags.


As an aside to earlier posts about the CZ Scorpion, there's a non-restricted version available up here now and it is one badass looking rig.

It's retailing for about the same as the Beretta here (bout $1200). But they sell out just as fast as they come in. I don't know any place that has any in stock.

The scorpion is an awesome gun.

Definitely on the "DO WANT" list...lol

Edit: Sure wish suppressors were legal here...too bad.

Ask @nitesite what he thinks of his.

I forgot @nitesite has one too...y'all are lucky bums!

Such a nice set up nitesite. Love it! Feel free to post up your new sling set up...lol.

Nobody can deny loving the look of a brand spankin' new member of the collection. However, there is an undeniable quality, a magnetism, of a firearm used in service; showing it's been used AND the fact that someone relies on it daily.

I wish I could like your post a 1000+ times............

The beretta was fairly popular back when they were first being released. I even saw one at my local Walmart in the case once believe it or not. I don't recall how many have been sold over the years, but I'm certain it's not as many as other pistol cal carbines though.

FWIW, I would try to find one at someplace other than cheaper than dirt though. They're dirt bags.

I own a few pistol cal guns. (no, it's really not a mental illness, I really just like pistol caliber carbines and such).

Even $250 Hi Point carbines are actually pretty good and you can get them in 9mm, 40S&W, 10mm and even 45acp.

With 9mm, you can easily take it out to 100-150'ish yards without much effort. I routinely shoot at 75 yards off hand and ring steel using most any of mine. Granted they are not sniper rifles, but if you do your part, you can generally hit a paper plate out to 100 without much effort at all.

I am in the process of sourcing as many parts as pieces as I can to build my dream pistol caliber gun as I type this. It will be in 45acp. And I'm hoping it's going to be as epic as I think. It has been my holy grail gun for a long time, despite the design being almost 100 years old now.
