[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Deal Alet: Beretta M9 - $448 (Page 2 of 6)

Quoted:
It's funny. I hate the M9. I enjoy shooting other pistols much more. The M9 just doesn't feel natural to me. The grip doesn't feel right. It's also the pistol I shoot best.  Quoted:

Was training for a deployment a few years ago. Two weeks shooting the Sig 229. I was nailing it. The instructor brought out some M9s. I was WAY faster and more accurate with the M9. It's also the pistol I shoot best. |

Quoted:
I have one and used to shoot it a ton but never carried it. Just another gun in my hoard  They aren't bad guns but what is anyone going to do with it beyond use it as a play gun?Not everything has to be a tiny CCW gun, and in states where you can load up with real mags, the large frame is a plus

It's also the pistol I shoot best. CZ SP01 fits my hand like a glove and is still my favorite pistol. I shoot a Glock now because I shot better with it my first time out than I ever did with the CZ and that trend has continued ever since. It hurts to admit it but its true. |

Quoted: I still contend that "pick the gun that feels the best" and "points naturally" are bullshit. CZ SP01 fits my hand like a glove and is still my favorite pistol.

Bought one for the wife after she said she wanted one, and I like it more than she does,

I have like, 3 shitty army mags. Is that reason enough to buy one? Quoted:
Quoted:
I have a holster for this somewhere in my .mil bullshit. Clearly I need a pistol for that lonely holster. Glad I bought one though, Very nice shooting pistols compared to the issue models that have been beat to hell by a hundred or so G.I.'s. I'm happy enough with it that I ordered a 92 compact from Bud's Friday.

Quoted:
Nice pistol - but the one photo is not an M9 Military or Police model. Its lacking the "cage code" ( Commercial And Government Entity Code - or CAGE ) on the slide and the "P B" that is no stylized. Also missing the "M9" Slide designation and the 7 digit Frame Number. So its either a commercial/civilian 92FS ...OR someone messed up and put an incorrect photo on the website. |

Attached File Just picked up this ol 92FS earlier this month from an auction. |

Quoted:
I prefer the thin grips over the reduce reach trigger but the other to I like. With an 18 Rd mag it's right about the same size as a 17 Rd g17. Quoted:
Quoted:
Aim Surplus (I think. May have been PSA) had the same price a few years ago. swapped out for a decocker and a D spring with reduced reach. 100 dollars total. They are nice guns. Big for what they are, but still nice. With an 18 Rd mag it's right about the same size as a 17 Rd g17. |

Fuck! It figures! I am picking up a Langdon Elite model tomorrow. I have 4 Brig Inox's already...one is in this video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGC1Q4LOKs

The new M9 is worth the extra $150 over a police trade in 92S.

If my local ffl was still in business, I'd have already bought one. Maybe tomorrow I can track one down. Thanks op!

I love shooting my 92FS and only had to do a spring swap a few years ago.
Mine is upgraded to a dual action metal recoil rod and the Wolff springs. One of the most enjoyable 9mm I own.. a bit heavier than the M&P or glock, but, wicked accurate. This platform is one that every gun guy should own... uber reliable and easy to clean/take down. I got my used 92FS (LNIB) for only $15 less than that. |
|
You guys like 92 series, eh?
Try a good deal on the compact version then. Here is another deal. |

I looked that up. Shipping and tax from Classic add $45 to the price for me

The M9 is the military model, and only made in the US. Quoted:

Made in USA or Italy? Some of those Tennessee guns look like crap. Don't forget the PPQ M2 for $439. 
Quoted:
Anyone order from gun prime dot com before? I am dangerously close to picking up one of these... eta: Just so y'all know, that's only $43 more than employee pricing. |

Quoted:
They make a great shop/truck/nightstand gun. Not everything has to be a tiny CCW gun, and in states where you can load up with real mags, the large frame is a plus I've seen one Beretta 92 at a class or match in my life. I'm not saying they're awful. I have one, it did suffer from the trigger return spring breaking, a known flaw. If you replace that they are reliable, accurate guns, but they're definitely a "runner up" that time has passed by. |

European mag release, gross

Quoted:
A glock 19 shoots the same, is smaller and has no weirdo safety. Beretta 92s are guns people buy, shoot for fun and then toss back in the safe. They're too large and have a kooky safety compared to more modern pistols that function the same. I've seen one Beretta 92 at a class or match in my life. I'm not saying they're awful. I have one, it did suffer from the trigger return spring breaking, a known flaw. If you replace that they are reliable, accurate guns, but they're definitely a "runner up" that time has passed by. And good for winter carry in a shoulder holster. |

I bought a once fired M9 for $350 that was perfect. It was just too big of a bitch for any practical use for me. When I can carry a Glock 21 with a slightly lesser thickness, it makes no sense to me. Of course, I sold it at a profit.

Quoted: Yeah, but you are probably damaged.
