Over the past year, the wife and I have really been focusing on paying off debt we had accumulated either due to unexpected health problems, stuff just breaking (new roof and hvac in less than 6 month period), and not being as good as we needed to be with our credit card.
As part of that, I got a new better paying job with better insurance and started to cull the herd some. Started out selling duplicates of stuff I had and guns I had taken in on trade but just never like.
This Beretta 92F was one I had taken in on trade but I’m a huge Beretta fanboy. Add to it that it was a former NC Highway Patrol marked pistol and that’s my home state I was over the moon in love. But I already owned a Beretta 92F that was a Greensboro PD surplus one. I tried justifying keeping both but knew one had to go. So I sold the NCHP one cause it was a quick sell and I wasn’t emotionally attached all the way.
Fast forward a year, and wife and I have paid off all outstanding debt. It feels amazing and we definitely don’t want to go back!
In that time frame, I had traded/sold off my other Berettas. The 92F I kept over this one had been sold to the son of a former Greensboro PD officer who wanted it for his dad. My M9A1 got traded to a buddy going into the Marines who wanted it to have a pistol similar to what his unit was using.
I had planned on getting a new 92X but I was having trouble finding anything in stock. Thought about buying online, but while scrolling on CFF I saw the dude posting that I had sold it to. On a whim sent him a message asking if he still had it and would be interested. Thankfully he did and even helped me out by taking a trade so I wouldn’t be out any new money!
He had put the black factory grips back on it, decided I would leave those on it as well. Already has the skeleton hammer and D spring.
Only plans moving forward are to get a G kit, replace the rest of the springs just due to age, and get more magazines.
On the plus side, I found my old Safariland holster and a 17 round magazine while looking for something else!
