My new to me Beretta Vertec. One owner made in 2004. I got a great deal on it. $550 with 10 factory 15rnd mags. Now I get to spend even more money fitting it out like my 92A1. I have a set of FDE grips for the M9A3 coming from Beretta.

My factory FDE Vertec grips just arrived. They are a place holder until I get my grips I ordered from Lok grips arrive. The black grips on this Vertec were the original Beretta logo Hogue grips that it left the factory with in 2004. These new thin FDE grips are the same used on the M9A3 and feel really good.

Just got my first Beretta this past Tuesday. Did a 14hr, 660mi day to drive round-trip from DFW to San Antonio and back to trade a G19 for it. No A/C, no cruise control, no regrets. Only got to put 100rnds through it so far, but it's easily the smoothest shooting gun I've ever fired.
When I picked it up: 
How she sits now: 
I had the Wicked Grips ordered less than 2 hours after picking it up, while sitting in a cigar lounge waiting for rush hour traffic to go away. They really are wonderful, about the same thickness as stock, extremely well fitting both on the gun and in my hands. They're smooth, but not slick, and extremely comfortable without feeling like the gun will come out of your hands. Looking forward to getting more rounds downrange, and changing out/cleaning up the trigger pull a fair bit. Some more pictures here. |

Yeah, we really are. Thanks! I'm in love with it so far, only shot 100 rounds and hoping to put another 250 through it tomorrow. Already have a G Conversion and skeletonized hammer on the way from Beretta, and it'll be getting a WC trigger kit eventually, though I want to put more rounds downrange with the stock trigger before I jump to that.

Let me see if I can grab some pictures...
The front site is still there, however there are two holes that have been milled through it and the new site has been pinned on top of it. I thought that was an interesting solution, edit survive thousands of rounds. The compensator is an alloy compensator, and all of the white metal you see is actually tungsten. This was done to add weight week to the pistol, And remove anything that was plastic. The fun part is that the barrel is not some crazy match barrel, however with the compensator big groups like a match barrel. This project was started by a friend of mine who is a gunsmith. He was looking for a way not to have to put a rail system in the slide. It dawned on him that if he could take the barrel and it's lock up , and change the dynamics... he might be able to get a decent match pistol out of it. The thing is unbelievably accurate. We also found he really didn't need match barrels. List of things that was done: - bushing area on the slide is now round; slide milled to a circular diameter from oval - front sight milled and pinned with custom front sight - all parts major parts replaced with tungsten parts (hammer cap, etc.) for added weight - compensator added - recoil spring lightened This is an IPSC style pistol, so speed was key, and it fires fast and accurately without issue. |

Finished, at least for a good long while!
Beretta 92FS Compact-L I got in trade for a G19, parts in and on it now are as follows: Wilson Combat action tune kit (running 14# spring, 12# gave two failures to fire in 600rnds), short reach trigger, WC hammer, Beretta G conversion, Wicked Grips Japanese Flowers aluminum grip panels, Streamlight TLR-1, and Winchester 147grn Ranger Bonded JHP. All fits nicely into a Pelican 1170 case. 
Edit: just because I was curious, my questionably-accurate bathroom scale is showing 2 3/8ths pounds loaded with light |
