My new Toy
« on: May 16, 2013, 06:21:55 PM »
Been tossing around getting a new CC gun for a while. I was going to go with a compact 1911 .45 but ended up dropping my cash on a Beretta Storm in .40 cal

feels kinda inadaquite (SP) caring a .40 after toying with a .45 and shooting a .44 for so long  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:





Any one have one, how do you like it?

My cousin runs one and they have had very good luck with it. I have the cx4 storm the carbine model and it is one of my favorite guns.

His likes the 180g bullets. The 165's did not shoot as well, if you run 165's and they don't shoot well, you might try the 180's.

Nice gun.. A lot of people get caught up on the 40 and 45 comparison.. Their ballistics are so really close to each other, and penetration is dang near the same also.  I don't get paying way more for ammo, for almost the same round. Yea I know 230 grains for a 45 and 180 for a 40, but do you honestly think an intruder is going to know the difference between em? I don't think so, get some
Hydra shocks or some critical defense and you've got a stellar defense tool.
