I'm considering selling/trading my VEPR K in 5.45x39 to buy a 9mm carbine so I can shoot it indoors at the local range on bad weather days. Would be a lot of fun for the interactive steel plate range.
So I know there is the Beretta CX4 Storm ($500-$600), Vector Uzi's ($595), Hi-point (no way), various MP5 clones ($1000-$1200), Mac-10 clones. So, in the market of $1000 and under, does that only leave the CX4 storm and the Uzi? I've handled a Storm and liked the ergonomics, but I haven't even seen an Uzi in person (I hear they are very heavy). Which would serve better for both the "cool factor" and being practical and accurate range shooters? What 9mm carbines do you guys have? Does the Beretta Storm come with hi-cap mags yet? Which style of magazine has cheaper hi-caps available (the Beretta 92f mags or the other?) Does the Uzi have decent sights and is it practical for range use?
Beretta CX4 Storm
Ohio Rapid Fire MP5 clone ($1500, too much money)
