Dear, Beretta I've been waiting for the M9A3 pistol for a long time. I was expecting a max price of $799. For $1,000, I can literally buy two Glocks with night sights (police discount). You can keep your new pistol at that price point. Then buy two Glocks, and quit bitching. |

FYI, Arms Unlimited is pre-selling the LE version, with 3-17 round mags.
I went ahead and pre-ordered mine today. They don't charge til the order ships, so no worries. I've had good experiences with them in the past, FWIW. https://www.armsunlimited.com/Beretta-92FS-Type-M9A3-9mm-Pistol-p/js92m9a3mle.htm |

Once the hype dies down and the price drops close to where it'll eventually settle into I'll jump on the wagon. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of these will be range queens and never ran in the rain or dropped in the mud. I'll wait for someone to get bored with their scratched toy and sell it for a loss.
In the mean time..... Do I understand it right that if you want a railed 92/M9 that can have night sights your only option at this point is the 92A1? |

Guess I'll wait for that one and the price drop after all the "me first" types burn off. A Bruniton version could happen down the road I guess. But there has not been any kind of indication that the M9A3 will be anything other than FDE. I guess I'm one of those "me first" types this time around. I've got a couple on order/spoken for. I'm buying from a "Trident level" Beretta dealer. I can't give his price because of MAP. But it's a great deal and below the $999 you see at several places. Price is shipped and all. Which is great considering these guns will come packed in an FDE colored ammo can. So shipping ain't ten dollars.
I suggest folks that want an M9A3 sooner rather than later to check with their dealers that are the highest Beretta dealer, Trident level (these guys move $100,000+ of Beretta products in a year). They may be able to get you the gun for a fantastic price right off the bat. Of course the pricing of the gun could drop months or years afterwards. But that's all a guessing game. Considering Beretta's MO. The $1100 MSRP isn't surprising. Then in turn. The $1000 prices showing up online aren't surprising either. But they can be found for cheaper if you look or get lucky right now. I'm anxiously waiting.  It will probably be a couple months till they show up. Word is, that late October is when they'll be shipping. Per dealers that have talked with Beretta reps. Both of mine will probably be shot. But one will probably be an occasional carry piece to suppliment my carry Brig Tac. But it will mainly be the new designated beside gun and suppressor host. Beside gun with the suppressor attached.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It will almost certainly be more than $750. With night sights, a slide that is convertible from "G" to "FS", Cerakote, and the threaded barrel option, I think you are looking at $8-900 at a minimum. The new Vertec is $750, the Wilson Combat Brig Tac is about $1200, the 92G-SD is about $1100, and the M9A3 doesn't have the Brig slide so maybe subtract $100 or so. I expect the street price for non-threaded right at a grand, and with threaded bbl at about $1100 or so. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The HOW MUCH is more interesting to me than the WHEN. It's not going to be cheap. The crucial point, as you note, is price. If the street prices on these are too much more than about 750 at most it's going to be a really hard sell I think for most people. How much does a Vertec cost these days? It will almost certainly be more than $750. With night sights, a slide that is convertible from "G" to "FS", Cerakote, and the threaded barrel option, I think you are looking at $8-900 at a minimum.

I'll probably end up with one eventually, but I knew there was no way this would be a $750 gun. |

Are the sights on the M9A3 going to be high enought to clear a 1.37" OD suppressor?
The "shoot through the can" trick does not work for me - happy if it does for you, but not an option for me. I've read conflicting statements about it - the first write up said it would, then other articles have not mentioned it, and in the photos, the sights don't look particulary high. |

I think the pictures of the gun on the Lipseys site are of the final production gun, which is a non-go in regard to suppressor height sights. The M9A3 is supposed to ship in about a month, so I don't see the gun changing much. I feel you pain on the shoot thru the can thing. It's a pain. |

Yeah, just doesn't work for me.
It's too bad they didn't put high sights on it. Would have only cost a little more, and with the barrel threading and such, it is supposed to be all set up for a supressor. That, plus the grand price means I'll pass, until at least I see one on the used market in a few years. I'm sure someone will make high sights for it, and I can swap them out then. |

Maybe you could find some sights that would work, since the rear AND front are dovetailed.
I have to say this because I don't think anybody else has. The present M9 is so right for me, I don't think I'd like that grip angle at all. At all. It's TOO straight up and down. Moreso than any other pistol I can think of. I never liked the vertec. Although I've admittedly never fondled one. The regular frame just points very intuitive for me. I have a hard time believing that's not the case with a lot of other people. |

Not sure how you're getting those prices. I wonder who makes their barrels but threading a barrel for 15 dollars? I realize there is a difference between getting something like that done as a custom and a large manufacture.... but that don't seem right. And I wonder if they had to do new tooling for the frames, or if they're modified, or if it is CNC. I have no clue.
I think guns in general are too expensive. LOL. But who knows if the prices are justifiable. I guess it just depends on if someone is willing to pay for it or not. |

I don't see any real difference between the A3 frame and the Vertec other than the horizontal checkering cuts. As for threading the barrel, wouldn't another 20 seconds in the machine center be enough for that? I have also been lusting after the A3, but considering the delays and pricing I went with the Vertec instead. Besides the threaded barrel (Which I don't need), frame checkering, and the finish the guns are the same. The Vertec is also available in Inox which I prefer. I'm happy and saved money. For me the Inox Vertec with a set of Trijicons was the right choice. iPotato shot of my busy desk and the Vertec.

Besides the threaded barrel (Which I don't need), frame checkering, and the finish the guns are the same. The Vertec is also available in Inox which I prefer. I'm happy and saved money. For me the Inox Vertec with a set of Trijicons was the right choice. iPotato shot of my busy desk and the Vertec. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w498/jpreilly/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpspuffhwgy.jpg I love Berettas! Man, I love that pistol of yours! I hope the price goes down as I am really excited to buy an A3. |

some dealers now offering street price BELOW MAP.
So price will most likely be lower than the $950 of botach |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Dear, Beretta I've been waiting for the M9A3 pistol for a long time. I was expecting a max price of $799. For $1,000, I can literally buy two Glocks with night sights (police discount). You can keep your new pistol at that price point. I agree with the above's sentiment. If this price is held by Beretta then I'm out like Cosmo Kramer. Yes, I understand it has premium features such as a threaded barrel, a (shitty) Cerakote scheme, a Vertec frame, and supposedly a G-Conversion slide. I understand this costs money. If they could eliminate the first two, give me the last two, normalize the price and retain an interchangeable front sight then I'm back in the game. If I'm spending around $900 on a handgun, it's going to be an HK if I want to be tactical or a CZ/Grand Power if I want to be competitive. |

Plus street price is under $900 :-) |

And money isn't what I'm truly discussing, it's my perceived value of the product ha. I'll admit I have been on a consolidating binge though - maybe when I start collecting handguns for the hell of it again I'll look more into the M9A3.
considering the MSRP on a bare bones Sig MK25 is roughly the same for MUCH less of a gun....you're over reacting. Plus street price is under $900 :-) No real reaction from me, sorry if I came off that way! I agree about Sig Sauer as their new line never appealed to me, but I did like the look and the value of the European police trade-ins for sure. I want Beretta to succeed with the M9A3, at whatever price they set it. I'm just sold on it at one price and not so much at another.

Wonder why they removed the palm swell on the backstrap. I know it's personal preference, but it's a trend that has disqualified quite a few pistols from my consideration. They feel like shit without it IMHO.

I'm glad to see the price sliding downwards. The closer it gets to my magic number, the closer I get to having a fine new pistol.

They feel like shit without it IMHO. Because the smaller frame makes it more approachable for more shooters, and the add-on grip gives you the same palm swell as an option? Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me, I'd be OK with them going this way for the whole line. I just put a deposit down on an A3 with a significantly lower final price than MAP |
