| I am looking at the 92FS INOX. Any pros or cons about this 92. I kind of like the idea of stainless and it sure is pretty. All thoughts appreciated. |
|
I love mine. I don't like hoster wear showing, and the Inox set up, made that a mute point. I used mine as my primary CCW gun and loved it. oh, and as for costing more....  ....I paid $468 plus shipping for BNIB from a dealer on GunsAmerica.com about 2 yrs ago. I had many phone conversations with him, cause I thought this had to be too good to be true. It wasn't

 The silver/gray integral front sight is too hard to see under certain conditions, at least for me. I too kept the blue one and sold the inox...and I generally like stainless steel. The cost of the first re-blue would break nearly even to the higher initial cost of ss, + or -. |

I masked of my front blade and painted it black and painted the front dot and rear dots bright what and it looks profesional as well as it has been though multiple range sessions and cleanigs with no problems. I also like stainless because it virtualy shows no holster wear. Also if you put on nice wood grips the satin stainless just looks so much better in my never humble opinion. However if you like them black then all the power to ya.

How do you like those grips. I always thought it was a good idea but wasnt sure if the $$ was worth the novelty. And how is it sighted in? |
My buddy wants to pick one up, if you dont mind me asking what did you pay? |
I love them. They are kind of expensive, but I thought they were worth it. I really noticed the difference when practicing the Mozambique drill from 15ft. In direct sunlight they are not very effective, except if you are say 20ft or closer. They have two allen nut adjustments to sight them in. Mine are dead on at about 15ft to 25yds. Outside of those distances, the dot is a little off from the irons, but we are only talking an inch or two at the most. I would buy them again for the 92fs. |

To answer a few questions: I paid $540.00 for it. Mine has a plastic trigger and the plastic guide rod. Don't know why, but it does. Should I be worried about this? Also looking for a good holster for wearing at range and general carry if someone can make a recommendation. |
Don Hume, Open Top Double Nine. I used mine as CCW, and it was great. I would by the same holster again. It doens't look tactical, but it works a heck of a lot better than any shoulder holster, kydex holster, that I played with. |

I love my 92FS INOX because it has never failed and it looks like new every time I clean it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/IRIGHTI/100_0021.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/IRIGHTI/100_0020.jpg |
