Problem is finding one in Canada. Everyone seems to be sold out of them.

Wait, are we allowed necroposts on Saturdays? I though it was Mondays...

Took me a second looked at the date and had a laugh. Nothing like a good necrothread
I have a few 9mm / 10mm NR carbine, they are fun but i have found the ultimate in NR pistol caliber carbine.
A Taylor and Co Revolving carbine in 357mag/38 Spl.
Smooth SA trigger, sights are right on, weight around 4 pounds, around 32 inch long.
At 30 yards it shoot groups like the ones you are shooting at 5 yards with a regular pistol SA.
They also make them in 45 LC.
I would buy another one in 44 mag /44 Spl or 22lr /22WMR ( both cylinders ).
It is sooo cool to shoot.

This is what PCC class will look like if the Turd gets his way.......
It's in .45 but it's NR
I'm not a fan of the two-tone look but otherwise that is a great looking gun.
As for the Saturday-versus-Monday necro posting, it's Sunday, so splitting the difference. ;-)
I've not shot a CX4 but it was in the top 3 when I was considering a PCC, just because there was so much positive feedback online about how reliably it functions. And I'd like to have a Beretta pistol some day (if the laws around that stay tolerable-ish), so there was the appeal of Beretta magazine compatibility. But then I started noticing how many reported long, mushy, EXTREMELY heavy trigger action. No thanks. I'm rather trigger-fussy by nature. Bought my $2,000 Pardini K12 air pistol largely because it has the best trigger in the field, hands down, significantly better than my previous K10 which was already pretty darn nice. So once I brought focus to the blow-back trigger problem among PCCs it seemed my best bet was the TNW Aero, where working on the trigger components didn't look very challenging. And sure enough once I bought one in 9mm I shaved a pound or so off the already not too hard factory pull, smoothed out the action of the main part of the pull, shortened the stroke a bit, and now have a very acceptable trigger. Some small files, sandpaper, 0000 steel wool, then buffing compound on a soft cotton wheel go a long way towards making such things work nicely.
The other factors for me revolved around easy portability (small backpack, not very heavy), and reliability of function (again, polishing/shaping went a long way with the Aero). With lightweight/compact size, trigger quality and reliability as the main criterion the field narrows fairly quickly. Add in precision on target and the Kel Tec and a couple of others drop off the list, and there's no reason to put the CX4 back on as it still has that crappy trigger. So in the end it wasn't much of a choice, came down to looks and price really. And with user frustration reports coupled with rates of appearance of very slightly used samples on ####### dot ca for the TNW and the JR coming in at about a tie, I went with the one which came apart and put together most easily/quickly, the JR Carbine seeming a bit of a pain to take down and assemble.

Hi-Point 995 Carbine

Clearly a lot of the comments in this thread are somewhat dated. The Ruger PCC would or should make anyone's short list. For struck gun/plinker/game gun the Sub2k has a lot going for it running Glock, Berreta or M&P mags. It even comes with an acceptable trigger. Nothing beats it for portability. Once you get used to the CX4 trigger it works ok. Tje trigger group was designed by an Italian Committee on wine. It just looks badass.

Bull ####.
The CX4 has an acceptable trigger from factory. And most competition requires an aftermarket job to be good anyway.
The SP kit makes the CX4 as good as can be.
No matter what, out of all the PCC's I have handled, or shot, which are many.... the CX4 is still the king.
The looks turn a lot of people off, but dispite that it is still consistently the winner... what does that tell you?

What do you mean by 'is still the winner?' Seems a bit lacking in information. It doesn't take down into easily packable parts, so for anyone wanting that convenience the CX4 gets humped off the list. I mean it sort of comes apart... but it's more like the kind of dismantling someone does for cleaning, not a true takedown carbine. The Ruger is obviously superior, besides having a better trigger out of the box, and not looking like a cheap prop from a bad sci-fi TV series. Don't get me wrong, like I said the Beretta was well near the top of my list before decision time. I'd still like to shoot one sometime. Paul Harrell seems to like his and in most things I find his opinions valuable. It just didnt quite meet my particular criterion for selection, while the TNW did on all counts. Ruger was next on my final list, just didn't like the short connector between the parts, where the 4" between two points of contact for the Aero's barrel in the action seem to make for better repeatability as relates to action-mounted scopes. If using a red dot I'd probably have gone with the Ruger, putting a dot sight on the barrel mount and a 3x magnifier in the action. My eyes just don't get along with dot sights any more, so the better scoped option was the TNW. Same there applies for different reasons on the CX4, where the open sights might be fun... if my eyes worked with those.
Shoot one... then we can talk.
The CX4 even assembled fits into places that a traditional layout does not. My NR CX4 easily fits into a regular duffle bag assembled... and taken down with the single pin fits much smaller.
As for a prop.... yeah... it wasn't modeled as a prop... it was selected as one because of its look. Battlestar galactica comes to mind. But if you think that is a negative I guess the C96, tavor, Aug, beret 92, g36, fs2000, FG42, etc should also be counted as cheap sci-fi props.
But feel free to not listen to me, or the many others singing along...
Look at the many threads, forums, blogs, and so on... the CX4 continues to surface.
