Was it a factory tag or a tag added by the gun shop? Go to Berettausa.com. There's a section to type your serial number in & find out a lot about your pistol including manufacture date. If it has a special finish their site should tell you about it. This weekend I'm finally going to get in some more range time with one of my toys. A Beretta 92G Elite with a SGS style compensator made by "Ric" on the Beretta forum. This pistol makes +P feel like high velocity .22lr.

Have you ever shot a 92/96 series with a factory "D" model hammer spring installed? A quick $5 drop-in mod that will instantly lower your DA trigger by around 4 lbs, dropping it from the 10-11 lb range down to around 7 lbs while keeping the pistol 100% reliable. Of course they make "D" springs for the Cougar series as well, giving them about a 2-3 lb pull weight reduction. I have D springs installed in every Beretta I own along with a good polishing of all internal moving parts including the hammer, sear, & trigger. These firearms have a lot of performance potential.

Believe it or not I've never shot one. A few years ago I had a P95DC & sold it before I ever had the chance to take it to the range. My brother & his family are driving down from Indiana next week for Thanksgiving & we're planning a day at the range. I have several pistols that I've owned for years & never shot & that's going to have to change. My cousin is a TN Highway Patrol officer & we're dragging him along as well. He only owns Glock & has been dying to try out some of my Berettas. Of course the P89 is going to get a work out too.

I just modified & installed a Ruger P95 trigger in my P89. The trigger's a little smoother now & is a much shorter reach than the stock trigger.

Nice! I like the look of the straight dust cover models. Sadly, I'm down to six Berettas now. (The Beretta Cougars are my favorite series though) Don't let the number of parts hold you back. These are extremely easy to work on & modify & will digest any ammo you feed them. They're tough as nails too. Odds are you'll never have to repair yours, but if you ever do, parts are cheap & easy to find.

I wonder if this means Walmart will start selling "evil black rifles" & hunting ammo again? Our local WM doesn't sell anything, but .22 rifles now. They still sell shotgun & pistol ammunition, but not .223, .308, 30-30, or 30-06. I'd also like to get my hands on a Beretta CX4 Storm or ARX 160 someday.

My local GS pulls stunts like this. They take the extra factory mags that come with every handgun & then sell them separately for full retail. Every handgun they sell only includes one magazine so they have shelves full of Glock, Beretta, & S&W mags in zip lock bags they push on people. They do this with factory handgun hard cases too. Despicable way to do business! Tell your friend that I'll gladly give him some info on how to recognize & avoid scams...for $19.95 + S&H.

My wife & I usually drink wine with dinner a few times a month. We don't drink strong spirits often, but when we do it's usually Grand Marnier or Capt. Morgan Private Stock over ice. If it's just me I like Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royal. My most treasured spirit is a rare bottle of Clandestine Absinthe bottled that I've had since 2006. It's a beautiful Swiss La Bleu with only 1001 bottles of this first batch produced worldwide. It's been a few years since I had the chance to enjoy authentic absinthe (No matter what you've been told, the crap they sell here in the U.S. isn't true absinthe.) & I've been waiting for a special occasion to open it, but so far it sits collecting dust. http://www.alandia.de/absinthe-la-clandestine-first-batch.html

My wife & I voted last week. No use waiting until the last minute & having to stand in line for hours.

Uh, oh! Deer lives matter!

My parents came in to visit today & surprised me with a gift with immense personal meaning to me. Today my mother gave me my grandfather's Remington 550-1, which he bought brand new in 1956 when she was only 4 yrs old. It's in new condition & he even kept the original hang tag from 1956. As you can see he took extreme care of everything he owned. That's how he lived every day of his life & I had a lot of respect for him. My grandfather was a veteran of WWII & served on the U.S.S. Mellette (APA-156) at Iwo Jima & Okinawa where he drove a landing craft. After the war he drove a truck for nearly 40 years before retiring & was an active member of our local American Legion, VFW, & the Shriner's until his death. He was married to my grandmother for 64 years, who is still active at the age of 95. Sorry to ramble, but he was a good man & it would take a book to describe him & his life. Sadly, he passed away Feb. of 2014 at the age of 89. This was an unexpected gift that will be cherished & eventually passed down to my children.

Last week I bought three brand new 15 round stainless Ruger brand magazines for my P89 on Ebay.

I just picked up some add-ons for my LC9s. A Viridian R5 green laser along with a Viridian Reactor series kydex/leather holster. The holster is a perfect fit & has a built in real earth magnet that activates the laser when drawn from the holster. Of course function is most important, but I think the contrasting FDE/black colors of the slide, mag, & laser go pretty well together.

I stopped by a friends pawn shop today to browse & spotted something that I apparently couldn't live without for another day. A stainless Ruger P89 in 9mm in really nice condition. I've never owned or even had the chance to shoot one, but most of what I hear from owners is positive. It certainly has a hefty feel & I like the grips. I regret selling my P95DC a few years back without ever shooting it. I'll make sure this one gets some range time.

I consider the "black lives matter" group domestic terrorists & think they should be treated as such!

WOW!!! I bet most of these people can't even get out of bed in the morning & dress themselves without written directions?

Thanks. I have a TDI Arms BK-2 flashlight mount. It works with picatinny rails & 1" diameter flashlights. http://tdi-arms.com/bk2.html

I'll take the Beretta magazine if it's still available.

Just what I always wanted...a fish named "Stupid Asshole"!

He was hilarious in Blazing Saddles, but my favorite movie of his will always be Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Good night, Mr. Wonka. You'll be missed.

If the govt. keeps raising the minimum wage we will be paying $350 for breakfast someday. The higher minimum wage gets the less I can afford. These nit wits don't understand that every time minimum wage goes up so does the price of everything! I live in a small community & when MW went up to $7.25 unemployment went thought the roof & locally owned business shut down because they couldn't afford to keep & pay workers.

If you're concerned about it simply carry it concealed. I know both concealed & open carry is perfectly legal with a HCP, but sometimes low profile is the best policy. Don't scare the sheep & they won't cry "wolf".

On the other hand, if you used Icy Hot on your rear instead of prep. H it would definitely be a memorable experience. It gives a new meaning to the song, "Ring of Fire"!

It could have been worse. Just be glad you didn't mix it up with your Preparation H...
