Just got the word from the factory that the 2003 production run is completely sold out. The 2004 schedule has not yet been formulated. If you order now, your credit card will supposedly not be charged until the order is filled.

I posted this info months ago. BUSA has sold all of the 2003 production to LE agencies.

Right. Just like Glock, et al. I hope everybody feels like you do. That way I'll get mine quicker!
Yet another piece of gun-gadget "chum" tossed into the water, whetting the appetites of the Gotta Have It sharks - many of whom haven't even held this gun. Sight unseen, it's irresistable.
At the factory (coldly calculated), they trickle out small numbers to keep the frenzy going, creating unrealistic demand, higher prices, blah blah blah....
I don't get into these "I can't have it so I must have it" deals. You wanna sell me something, it better be available. Come to think of it, why don't I buy a 40 watt plasma rifle, as they're probably "in production" somewhere too.

The CX4 looks like a real winner.
I do however remember how excited everyone got about the Beretta 9000, until that was, they actually handled one.
As a side note, the exterior design on the CX4 was done by the same person (Giugario ?), I'll keep my M1 Carbine for now thanks, and *cough* my Beretta 9000.

I think this'll make a great car gun. Too bad I can't :banghead: get one :banghead: in 
California
California It seems Beretta has released some CX4s for general sale...have one being shipped as I write this. I'll post the cost as soon as I know.

How much? And can anyone say something bad about this rifle, besides it being plastic and not oak wood and that its expensive. Who else sells a rifle like this besides something like a mp5?
Yea can hardley contain my enthusiam for this over sized pistol. Yep just what I need a carbine offered in an assortment of wimpy pistol calibers. Sorry when I grab for a long gun I want a longgun round like a 556, 308 or a 12 gauge.

Yep, since the ONLY reason to own a firearm is to KILL STUFF!
9mm rifle - A .22 for people who want more bang and kick than a .22 has to offer... Thats enough reason for me.
I don't even have to go into "easier to aim, more accurate than 9mm pistol", or my favorite "if everybody thought just like you, who would you yell at in traffic?"
Easy there cougar, your slip is showing....
As long as we’re digressing a smidge here, I’d like to offer an opinion or two on this pseudo weapon phenomenon I see of late.
I first must congratulate the vast advertising machine out there that even allows such a product to be taken seriously, and actually entice some folks to want one. Hey – I also read the gun mags, and I frequent the gun forums. I always liked the Star Wars screen antics and always marveled at how nobody ever got hit when the “A-Team†was blasting away on TV.
But over the years, I never did allow “A-Team†tactics, or a magazines so-called “gun reviews†or almost anything posted on a dedicated AR forum to be internalized, and then taken seriously. Too much legitimate information is out there to make such mistakes.
I believe that most who would purchase something like this are the very same sorts of folk that always seem to be making the rest of us shake our collective heads (in disbelief) on occasion. We do this when we notice them make their attempts to navigate in other aspects of our world.
While a case can be made for an exotic plinker, I have absolutely NO confidence that most owners of these toys can properly categorize them. The very same feelings, desires and justifications that first allowed them to make such a purchase would certainly muddy-up the waters (in their decision making process) if and when circumstances arose where they’d actually need to go for a gun. I have little doubt they’d grab one of these, and offer the same “reasons†we’re seeing now.
It’s only then that the colossal shortcomings of such a piece will be made clear to these special souls. Of course it will be too late then, and sadly the only positive aspect may be some improvement in the gene pool.
Could the rest of ever-even hope to contain our “I told you so’s â€
For me, I will continue to warn anyone that I truly value, about the monumental pitfalls of buying into Madison Avenue’s BS – especially when weapons are involved.
A sense of purpose…. it’s a beautiful thing.

How about a home protection weapon for people who are 18 or over and under 21 who can't buy a pistol and want something in a pistol caliber.
Knock it off!!
Ok, we all have our opinions about this piece, but I'm sure some folks can get some real use out of it. Let's try not to belittle each other because of our gun purchases, ok?

355sigfan summed up my own view exactly.
I'm waiting for the Kel-tec SU-16. Now that one looks intriguing.
Moreover, it might be buyable here in CA.

Some people can't own a glock 26. And some people don't need the long range power of a 5.56 or a 7.62. I'm still waiting for someone to say something bad about this rifle besides its in a handgun caliber.
