While the CX4 is a proven gun at this point, it has been largely overshadowed by more recent introductions to the pistol-caliber carbine market. Guns like the Stribog, CZ Scorpion, Foxtrot-Mike FM-9, and even the Ruger PC carbine offer more for either the same money or less. A heavy trigger and lack of ability to take Glock magazines is no longer a winning combination for a carbine that utilizes pistol magazines. These are fun guns, but you will probably be better served with another option unless you have a ton of Beretta 92 magazines lying around.
