I inspected it the best that I could in the store short, of disassembling it, and decided to take a chance on it. The CX4 Storm was a used firearm and no one at the LGS knew anything of its history or why they had it. Fast forward and I now have several Glock pistols and several other polymer pistols, and now, a Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine. Maybe polymer did have a place in the gun world after all. Then I found out that they were like potato chips, you could not have just one. I also said that about Glock pistols until I forced myself to buy one. The look of it immediately turned me off, as my “old school” thinking said that there was no way I would own one. I had stumbled across a Beretta CX4 Storm a number of years back in a local gun shop. Today, the Marlin Camp Carbines are considered “guns of yesteryear” and are sometimes found at gun shows and are still available through on-line vendors.

45 acp version of the Marlin Camp Carbine was my favorite as it would use standard 1911 magazines – my pistol of choice at the time. They were heavy firearms, made of steel and wood furniture, and were actually heavier than the M1 Carbine. The first carbines that I owned was a pair of Marlin Camp Carbines one in 9mm and one in. A PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine) can be a welcome addition to the home and personal defense pistol. In fact, and in some cases, it was necessary for survival. This was a common the old west as it is today. There are many carbines of both rifle and pistol caliber the M1 Carbine, the M4 Carbine, the Marlin camp carbines, Steyr Aug, Marlin lever-action carbines, AR15 variants, the venerable AK47 and AK74, the Ruger 10/22, and on and on.įor civilians, carbines have been selected for home defense, competition, plinking, and just for the plain enjoyment of shooting.Įxtremely popular is pistol and carbine combination with both having the capability to shoot the same ammunition. They are typically issued to high-mobility troops such as special-operations soldiers and paratroopers, as well as to mounted, supply, or other non-infantry personnel whose roles do not require full-sized rifles.

The smaller size and lighter weight of carbines makes them easier to handle.

Many carbines are shortened versions of full length rifles, shooting the same ammunition, while others fire lower-powered ammunition, including those designed for pistols. Many carbines were simply cut-down version of full-length combat rifles where other carbines were unique among themselves.īy definition, the carbine is derived from the French “carabine” and is a long arm firearm but with a shorter barrel than a rifle or musket. Carbines have been around since the fighting man realized that he needed a more suitable weapon for close work where a full-length weapon was not feasible to use.
