Just ordered a 92FS from a local shop, $507 + tax, $546.04 total. How'd I do? |
|
i paid $548 for one at academy about 8 months ago. i bought another one at the same academy for $478 a couple months ago. both were NIB. i think CDNN still has some of their $419 92FS's, but i'm not entirely sure. after shipping and a transfer fee, you'd probably be looking at ~$450. the best deal i've seen for a NIB Beretta. that should give you a bit of a comparison. |

If you get all the mags that come with it from the factory, it's not a bad NIB gun shop price for the black model. If you got the SS model and receive all the mags, then it's a very good gun shop price. Note: the standard pistol NIB in the plastic type case comes with two mags, the LEO pistols in the cardboard box comes with three mags (all should be hi caps 15, but you may luck out and get the newer 17 rounders instead). If the dealer tells you that the pistol only comes with one mag, call bullshit on his response and have him get Berretta on the phone to confirm his story. Some dealers will knock down the price a bit, pull the extra mags, and then try to sell them to you for additional money. |
Great idea (D model hammer spring), but get a few hundred rounds down the pipe first to allow the parts to break in first before reducing the hammer spring tension weight. Some of the pistols are tight out of the box, and the reduced trigger spring can take you to the verge of light primer strikes until the hammer pin hole mates a bit to the pin and sides of frame (the pistol is powder epoxy baked coated and can be a bit bindy for the first few hundred rounds. Due to this, you want to make sure that all of the parts (including the barrel lock pivot points on the barrel) are well lubed with CLP out of the gate to allow a fast and clean break in peroid). |
Hmmm. Cabelas sells them for $450. I got mine from Gander Mountain on a price match. However, if you didn't have those options and the shop was local, that is an OK price. If you want a steel trigger/mag release/mainspring cap you can order the USGI frame parts kit from CDNN or Expensive As Shit!!! (Cheaper than Dirt). You need the metal trigger in order to install a Wolff trigger spring conversion. Otherwise it isn't necessary. |
I got a NIB 92FS (made in italy  ) for 499 + Tax at the local gunshopIn my opinion... best handgun ever made... my father has a custom one... it's one of only 3.... he has carried it since I was in the 3rd grade (im now 21) and it's never given him any problems at all... anyone I know who's ever had one loved it... Some cops I've spoken with said they'd never carry anything but a beretta... beautfiul guns with beautfil action to them.... way better then a block... i mean glock...  especially since beretta was the only handgun to pass the entire military endurance test... gotta love dependability like that...

i went to the one in kansas city a few weeks ago and their firearm prices were insane. the prices all seemed to be about 20% more than they should've been. they didn't have any 92FS's, but the 90-two they had was almost $700. the taurus pt92's they had were in the $500 range

I just got mine for $455 + 5.5% sales tax = $480 OTD. ITALIAN made as well. Just bought 7 15 round MDS mags from CDNN for $17 a piece (looks like they upped the price $1 just after I ordered them) and I also acquired a 15 round sand resistent grey finish factory mag from another source. Picked up 500 more rounds of 9mm WWB from Wally World (so as to not deplete my stash- this is my second 9mm). A couple hundred rounds later and I'm really liking it. I can still shoot a little better with my XD-9; but I have had that for a few years already. I'm getting better with the Beretta every time I shoot. |
