SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I bought mine 6 months ago and still haven't shot it. I really like how you have that case set up for yours, although I'd guess its a little heavy. Now go fire it! actually It is not heavy at all. The case that comes with the storm has all kinds of neat little spaces for stuff. No space wasted in mine. It's a grab and go package. I bought so many new guns last year that I would have to take time off to fire them all LOL,. I'll eventually work my way around to it though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm a huge fan of the Beretta 92, and I have more 15 round mags than I can count. But I have huge banana hands and the thumbhole stock style grip on the storm isn't comfortable for me. Plus I have an Uzi SMG, and when you own one of those, no other 9mm carbine is possibly as cool. mp5..... but it loses on the price factor... and lack of last round bolt hold open Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I was looking at the CX4 in .45 (because I already own a Cougar 8045 and like it). I thought it might be the closest thing to a Thompson Carbine that I could afford. Then I found Saiga-12.com and got distracted buying $300 Saigas and other AK projects and never looked back. 8045 mags and copies are just south of $50 a mag. That's insane, for a low capacity magazine. Economies have consequences. I look forward to seeing updates! Edited February 13, 2017 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Like I say, I haven't shot mine yet , but I have dismantled it and it is a very well built machine. The bolt is unbelievably over engineered, it is massive. Everything about it feels very well built. Here is a link to a site that offers a lot of cool upgrades http://sierrapapacx4.com It is smooth like driving an old Cadillac. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hello I have a Storm chambered in .45. I've installed all the Papa Sierra schtuff in it. Greatly improved the trigger pull and break. I was surprised with all the internals made of plastic (hammer?!?!) but the P.S. aftermarket replaced all of those. He also used to modify factory mag's into frankenmags that held twenty-something rounds. I don't know if his products fit anything but .45's, at the time I did mine that's what he was geared towards. That sucker kicks like a small mule with hot handloads. Within 100 yards it's a tack driver. I imagine a 9mm would shoot a lot flatter and faster. The .45 with subsonic loads would probably make an excellent suppressed platform. I have a Streamlight light with a conical reflector (don't remember the model, TX-1 or whatever) mounted to the slide-out rail under the muzzle, it fits perfectly. Bright as the friggin' sun. I have a red dot on it that co-witnesses perfectly, seems like it may have been an Aimpoint M-1 2x, don't remember what base (if any) but I can easily look. It's a nice lightweight, nimble, reliable shooting carbine. Great "yard gun", you're not going to go through a neighbor's house a block away with the .45 rounds. -Guido in TX 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiskeyMinion 300 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Always wanted one in .40 to match my PX4. There's just something fun about pistol caliber carbines.Hoping to find a great deal on one someday. Hopefully it is as reliable as my pistol. That PX4 has been run hard for 8000+ rounds without hiccup. Edited February 13, 2017 by WhiskeyMinion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May be the most under-rated (and under-utilized) handgun in 'Merica. SA/DA w/ de-cocker, chrome-lined rotating barrel, low barrel axis, etc. Probably the most natural pointing handguns I've ever shot, including some high-fallutin' 1911's. Don't understand why they never caught on here in the States. -Guido in TX 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Nice score! I like my storm, 9mm, it was my favorite carbine until I got a USC .45. plus the wife laid claim to the storm...love the fact that my 92 mags fit the storm...come to think of it my 92 had also been claimed by the wife...starting to see a pattern here.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Woohoo, carbine and mags both deliver today, so Saturday is going to be a range day. My local range is my FFL, so it works out great. My youngest son is all fired up over this carbine, you'd thought I'd bought it for him. "Daddy, it's only 6# loaded and 9mm, it's just my size!" LMAO, the boy needs a job real soon. Ah heck, who am I kidding, I'm as jazzed about it as he is... New toy! Edited February 15, 2017 by ChileRelleno 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
