Beretta is back to running pretty good rebates. This plus PSA sale prices on a bunch of Beretta handguns means M9s for $499, APXs for $299, APX Carrys for $165, even the 92 Performance Defensive for $750. Your wallet has been warned. |

Kinda surprised the 92 is still popular with so many better options out there. Reliable and durable for sure but I just never liked the feel and MOAs. Anyway, I guess YLWYL. |

The early Checkmate M9 mags had problems, due to the mil contracting to have both the outside and inside parkerized, even after being told it would make the mags unreasonable. Late manufacture, post 2010 Checkmates (every one I've seen surplus) are absolutely fine. I've got about twenty, and have never had a problem with any of them. |

Yeah I never actually experienced issues with the Checkmate mags, but I do like the PB ones with the silver PVD finish that replaced them more. |

You can even take some fine steel wool and oil and fix those early checkmate mags. |

Yeah, darn it, they got me. A 92xPCO for $799 after MIR was too much to resist. Almost went for the OD green but really wanted the silver finish. Such gorgeous pistols! |
