I think I flip flopped my next 2 gun purchases - an XD 45 and a Storm CX4.

I think I'm gonna get the Storm CX4 first. It's the only other rifle that interests me - despite bing a 9mm. It would save me a lot of costs on ammo to have a 9mm carbine, and I already have 9mm stashed, as I have several 9mm pistols.

I think I'm gonna put an Eotech on it as well...

It never ends.... <sigh>

 

[tqtran]

you can always put your eotech on the Storm and get a USG sight for your PS90 :?

 

[ShipWreck]

I've thought about that - but I like the wider firld of view on my PS90 thru the eotech. Even with a clearer reticle on the PS90 (clearer than the white ringed sight, or with the white ringed sight with a REM2) - I think I can pick up a target faster and easier with the eotech. So, I don't think I would pull it off of my PS90.

 

[ShipWreck]

Well, I went ahead and ordered another EOtech 511 from Top Gun Supp[ly. That is where I got my 1st one from.

To simplify battery issues, I'm sticking with the 511 again. It's what I already have.

Highly recommend Top Gun Supply :?

Cool. I've used Top Gun a few times also. Always a good experience.
:?

I probably won't get the Storm until the Jan reliant show in Houston - but I'll have the sight. I'll probably get an Urban ERT single pt sling for the gun after I have it.

I don't care for a forward grip on the Storm - so I'm not gonna deck the carbine out with tons of stuff. Probably just a sling, eotech and top rail.

I think you shoud just come to the DARK side and get an M4 :?

 

[ShipWreck]

I think you shoud just come to the DARK side and get an M4 :?

No - I've looked at them many times (many, many times) . And, truthfully - while the Ar guys always say that it is no big deal. I don't feel like cleaning the gun with that gas system after a long day at the range. And, there are too many damn parts to deal with.

I like the feel of the Storm. And, I'm ordering my sling for it today. So - all I need is the gun now :lol:

Oh come on .......its not any wors that taking the trigger pack out of your ps 90...



These are just so cool ....and now you can get the gas piston conversion kits...

 

[ShipWreck]

Sorry

I don't wanna spend the mucho bucks of the pistons... The cheaper of the piston guns - the Sig 556 - doesn't do it for me when I hold it.

The Storm isn't that expensive - although, it seems that the wholesale price of them has gone up this year. In early 2007, I could have gotten them for $525 new at gun shows... They are more now.

I have the EOtech coming in tomorrow, I think, and I ordered the CX4 Storm sling from Urban ERT today....

I am with you Ship on the cleaning of the AR system. I got my first one(M4gery) this year. It is great fun to shoot, like the PS90, but when I was cleaning the AR, I was thinking man this is Such a complicated design. So many parts and nooks and crannies.
Makes it a pleasure to clean a PS90 or a FAL.

What about a Hi Power with an attachable shoulder stock? Some are non NFA and you get the best of both worlds.

 

[ShipWreck]

Nah - if I'm gonna go with a pistol caliber, I like the Storm the best.

And yea, I have been spoiled by the disassembly and cleaning of the PS90...

I was surprised to find that when holding them, I prefer the M4s without the quadrail setups on the front end. But, as just talked about - I don't want to clean them. It may not be "that bad" as I always here the M4 guys trying to convince me. But, I don't want to mess with it.

 

[abpt1]

I was just ribin you ship I got mu first ar 12 years ago and have a fan ever since ......I thougt the ps-90 was a great gun... but it just did not do it for me if the market get huge and i can get a alloy or steel hammer and a adjustable trigger.... then i will buy another its really a urban tac PDW and where i live my m4 or ak will do ....but I was looking at the storms they are nice but I bought a krink lol the flames that come out when you take off the FS are some thing else :shock:

 

[ShipWreck]

Well, I played with a bunch of guns today at the local Gander and at my local shop. I'm definetly going to get the Storm. I like the feel.

I did see one of those Robinson XCR rifles. Pretty kewl setup - but I do not want to spent that much.

Now, I just gotta wait until I can hit a gun show after Christmas. My local store costs too much. And, while my Academy has one at $675 - the polymer stock is all beat to hell. Plus, I think I can find one for $600 or less at a show.
