I like mine alot. At first the safety is stiff and the slide hard to rack because it is small, but after a while it is broken in and/or you get used to it.
It is easy to shoot for a small gun. It is only a little larger than my Keltec P-11 but it is much easier to shoot fast. |

They're not exactly setting new sales records. Their trigger seems too stiff for my tastes.
If you get a real low price you could always sell it if you don't like it. |

I just bought one. A Type-D in 40 S&W.
Brand new at Galyans for $299.99. I have not fired it yet, but so far with snap cap fireing I am getting used to it, and like the gun very much. I gave Beretta call and got two converters for it. Makes it so I can use larger capasity Beretta 96 mags. It also makes the grip longer and more comfortable, but not as easy for light clothing concealment. I tried to get a couple of the pinky extenders, but they are backordered for a month. I figure on carrying in the warm months with the pinky extender and the cold months with the 96 mag converter, for more bullets. |

Thanks for the responses guys. Its a type F, .40 s+w, about a year and a half old, in the sub 300 dollar range, with two mags, ccw holster, and 150 rounds of ammo. Good deal?

I have one in the safe; nice pocket gun. Too high-tech looking for most people. It's a Beretta so it works.

Sound like a good deal man. Tell us how it works out. I am going to try and get mine to the range this week. |

I went to the range yesterday. NICE little gun!
40, out of a small frame, was not near as bad as I thought it would be. at 25 yards, I had no trouble hitting center mass on a human silhouette target. And even managed to destroy a fair bit if the 6" circle Shoot 'n See I put in the middle. PS, shot at a rifle range, 25 yards was the closest I could get. |

Classic Pistol 'unsold' me on it. They had one they just sold and didn't plan on getting any more in.
'clerk' said the slide was not good for gripping/pull back. I think that was the most sensical argument. And for the price, to look at Walther, Springfield (XD series it muy nice), and S&W. Current choice is XD40 Compact when it comes out... |

I owned one for about 6 months. It was a toss up between the 9000 and a Glock 26.
I found the 9000 slide very difficult to use, the safety all but impossible, and the trigger was very difficult especially double-action. I was never able to effectively double tap with the pistol. The dealer I purchased it from has never gotten another one in, in fact he offered me $250 dollars for it on trade! I ended up selling it at a private sale and purchasing the Glock 26. I haven't looked back. Good luck |
