Contacted the shop I got mine from asking about a second and he is out of them but has 12 more on order

Wish I could afford another! 

Got mine at SMGW.

Sacrilege!!! lol

This has gotten me to wanting a Beretta Compact. I'm hopeless.

I took the WC out as soon as I got home yesterday, ridiculous how soft it shoots. 

The still haven't broken down and shot the Vol ed. 

 

[tnhawk]

I picked mine up this morning.  As I took it apart and oiled it I realized it was unnecessary as it was going to the safe not the range.

[hipower]

LOL! That's pretty much my decision as well.

I have to say I'm really not a Beretta 92/96 fan. Just too big and heavy for me to be comfortable with, but like others, I kept thinking I'd like one of the Gallatin, Tn, marked pistols.

This fit the bill, and with all the added features...just too good to pass up.

In comparing notes and inferences here from other buyers, I believe I paid about the high intro price on mine. I was pretty dejected until I started looking and saw that I got the Vol/Tn Edition for about what a standard 92 was going for retail. Sure I could look and see prices all over the spectrum, but in the end...I realized I bought a safe queen. I've accepted that. And my wife says it's ok.

 

[tnhawk]

The size of the 92 prevents me from thinking of using it for concealed carry.  I expect it would shoot similar to my M9 pistols. As said by Hipower, it's time to accept that I've acquired a safe queen.  However I do get some pleasure from having it in the safe.  It's much more enjoyable to look at than another Shield or Glock.

How very true. lol

Can't believe I never noticed this thread before!  I was thinking I need an LTT or Wilson to go with my other 92/96's, so its an interesting thing to consider. Easy to convince the family banker as its a savings   Kinda wish it had an Elite/Vertec  barrel, but have a spare in a slide somewhere.

On the SMGA's site it says match grade accuracy. Thought they only drag that out for the recessed target crown barrels. For you gents that have them, is its the standard barrel or the  G-SD style barrel?

 

[tnhawk]

I'm not familiar with the G-SD barrel.  Other than "STAINLESS"  stamped on the barrel it appears like the barrels on my M9s.

Rather than store mine away in a safe I bought a stand and have it on display in the living room. My wife may or may not be happy about this.....

I'll check when I get home and let you know

 

[NickinTN]

Looked like a standard barrel to me, but then again I'm no Beretta expert. (or any expert really)

What differences are there in the standard and G-SD barrels?

The G-SD's are stainless with recessed target crowns. Though the target chamfer is not as pronounced as what you would see on some custom 1911's. 

The difference to the Elites is they are full length, and only full length with that feature I can think of, though I am not fully versed on some of the very rare variants out there.
