Looks like I'll be getting a Beretta.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Well, I sold my practically new G26 Gen4 Glock, guess the "new" wore off of something and I'm going to pick up a Beretta 92f from a local guy tomorrow. Won't be nearly as easy to use for CCW but I don't carry much anymore anyway AND it'll be cool owning a gun that our troops is using overseas. It'll kind of give me a bond with em' all.

Call me crazy(go a head, it's ok) but I just felt like I really wanted a Beretta 92 right now. Anyway, just wanted to share. Talk to ya'll later.

Ok, YOUR CRAZY! Umm why did you want us to call you that? Congrats on the Beretta, its a great gun!

[Caster]

I miss mine sometimes. It was a great pistol. Accurate and reliable. The father in law has one....haven't figured out how to make it mine ..............yet.

[Guest Keinengel]

I've owned 2 in the recent past and loved them both! Great pistols they are.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

I like em!

[Guest TN.Frank]

Because I know I'm going to miss that "little" G26 when it comes CCW time. Still, I think with the right IWB holster I can carry a 92 ok. At 6'4" and 280lbs I can pack a pretty large pistol with an IWB and it'll blend in with the right outer garments.

Can't wait to get all this dealin' done today so I can get home and put a few rounds thru the Beretta for a function and sight test. Lord willing it'll hit where I aim it and function ok.

Beretta's are good accurate guns, but I have never had one I fell in love with....I have had 4-5 and traded all of them away.

[Defender]

I carried one overseas in the military. It was my first weapon of that type. I grew to really love it. Dunno why I never picked one up for personal use...

[Guest Watauga]

Congrats on the 92!

Berettas are my favorite and they are ACCURATE.

For a big guy, a 92 is an easy carry.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Well, shoot, the kid sold the 92f out from under me. I've got my G26 sold thought as far as I can tell. Guess I should call the guy up and make sure that at least that deal is still doing down today. I'll have to keep looking I guess. Not like it was the only 92 on the planet.LOL

[dralarms]

Hey you are in crossville, if your set on a Beretta but not set on 9mm, the crossville pawn shop had a Beretta Cougar 8045 in there the other day. But if a 92 is what you are wanting keep looking, there are deals to be had.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

At the Chatt gun show last weekend I saw a few new blue 92FS only a few dollars higher than $500. Of course gun shows are not typically the cheapest places to buy new guns.

Have just seen average new prices higher than that in some earlier times.

A year or two ago there seemed to be a 92FS drought around here. All the stores had on the shelf were 1911's, Ruger 22's, and plastic guns. The Beretta's on the shelf were all PX4's (which are good guns but not a 92 either).

But they seem pretty plentiful again lately.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Nah, I'm pretty set on a 9mm, ammo is A LOT cheaper then either 40cal or 45acp. I'll find one, not in any real hurry(that's a lie,LOL) something will turn up, just need to keep looking.

[mcurrier]

Saw a 92f over at DT McCall's in Carthage a while ago. Not too far from Crossville.

[Guest J.D. Skull]

CDNN has American Tactical 92C for $300. This week only it comes with 3 17rd mags. Shipping is $14. It is made in Turkey at old Beretta factory on Beretta machinery by same people that made Berettas. I bought 1 last week and missed out on the 3 17rd mags. Took it to range yesterday and fired 300rds with no problems. It is as accurate as I am. This gun is a steal for $314 bucks.

[Guest TN.Frank]

I just saw a 92F Compact for sale, $400 bucks comes with 2/13 rnd mags. That may be the one I've been looking for. It'd work better for CCW and still work awesome for Home Defense. If nothing else I bet I could buy it and trade it straight across for the full size 92F that's at my local dealer's. I think the Compact would sell easier for them.

If it's in great shape then snatch it up.

[Guest TN.Frank]

I am, I e-mailed him and he told me if no one gets it at his local tonight he'd deliver it to me here in Crossville tomorrow a.m. I didn't even argue his price, it's more then fair and within my budget. I must be livin' right or something,LOL.

[dralarms]

I just found one, an original, not the new ones they are selling now, Paid more than that for it and it was missing one of the grip medalions. So if you get it and it's NOT what you want pm me with pictures.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Only thing I'd be willing to trade it for would be a gently used 92fs. Still, logically THIS Beretta would make more sense then Full Size since I have a CCW and would probably like to carry from time to time but then again, our Troops are using the Full Size and it'd be neat to have basically the same pistol that they're packin' around Iraq and Afghanistan.

[dralarms]

It's basicily the same gun, little shorter grip, the regular 92 mags fit it (they will stick out some). I just bought 6 extra mags for mine so I can carry it if I want to. I have all kinds of 92's, 96's 8040's (cougar) and 1 8045 (cougar). The nice thing on the cougars is the rotating barrel cuts way down on felt recoil.

[Guest TN.Frank]

I almost picked up a 8040F Cougar. Summit Gun Broker had them at a heck of a price but I ended up getting the G26(which I've now sold) because it was more compact,LOL. I don't know, if you'd want to trade a full size 92f or 92fs for the Compact I'd probably go for that deal. Just need to get a feel of the Compact first. Send me a few pics of potential candidates that you'd trade and who knows, you may end up with the C and I may end up with the Full Size after all.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Well, here's a pic of my new Baby. A Beretta 92F Compact. The slide runs on the frame butter smooth, trigger is awesome in single action, a little heavy but smooth in double action. I like Glocks but dang, this Beretta is SWEET.

[Guest BenderBendingRodriguez]

Congrats! And it seems that you remembered the first rule of gun ownership (yes, even before all those rules about safety): PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

[Guest TN.Frank]

Just for grins I went out back and put 3 rounds of WWB ball ammo thru it at 7 yards. I know that's not many rounds but I just wanted to see where the sights hit. Well, they hit dead on(under the dot on the front sight) and I put those 3 rounds into a 3/4" vertical group with two of the three shots touching. This gun totally blows my Glock away in the accuracy dept., I really love my Beretta.
