Paid $550 with three mags. Not that great of a price, but I really wanted one and it was local. Had only 2 boxes through it and is practically new. The only problem is the one hex head grip screw had been stripped. Not too big of a deal as I think the flat head screws are more practical. Anyways, I think I eventually will want to upgrade the plastic parts to steel parts. Only reason is that I like how steel parts wear better than plastic. Picked up 2 more mags for it and a serpa for it at cabelas (I hate serpas, but I want to try shooting it at a USPSA match on Sunday). One question I have is: If I shoot this in a match this Sunday, do I have to start with the safety on and hammer down or can I leave the safety off?

I really like this gun so far. I prefer the trigger on my Sig P229, but it is a very nice trigger still.

Here's a quick pic I snapped on the way home

Nice piece. I'll pick one up some day...just for the sake of having the service pistol I've grown accustom to over the past decade.

Nice! The pistol I first learned to shoot on'!

Same here.

I would recommend speaking with the folks that run the match, or the range officer. I have a 9mm & a 40. Both shoot nicely & are easy to maintain.

I have a M9 as well.  I really enjoy it a lot.  It shoots great.  Nothing wrong about having extra mags.  Afraid I can't comment on USPSA match.  Hope you had a good time and did well.

Anytime you buy a Beretta is a good day. Enjoy it and shoot the mess out of it.
