Grab it S0ulzer0. I have one and have never had a problem. Plus you can get high caps for it.

They sell new for $489 around here. There good guns just too big and heavy to carry around. Mine is a house gun.

Not entirely true, I use mine as a everyday carry gun. 15000+ rnds and never a hiccup.

Where? I'll pay 89 bucks more for new. I like the weight of it, it felt real good to me. I won't be using it much anyway. I mainly shoot with my ARs & AKs. |

I didn't think it felt all that heavy, I looked at a P99 and a large frame Glock .45, the weight didn't seem much different. Well maybe the Glock was a tad lighter, but it was much lighter than the Colt Commander I was thinking about.... I don't know, it really felt good in my hand. Is the 92FS a good reliable handgun? I'd like your opinion, you said you carry it everyday. |

s0ulzer0, The Beretta 92 is as reliable as humans are capable of making anything. I carry concealed anytime I leave the house and when I'm in the mood to pack a 9mm it's my Beretta 92 FS Stainless. You can't go wrong with a Beretta 92.
Standard '92's sell for $569 here  |

Blued. It has slight wear around the barrel where the slide "loop/hole" is. (Pardon, don't know handgun talk) and one small booger on the left hand rear sight that I can easily touch up. It comes w/2 10rnd mags, orig box, hard case, factory lock and the manual/paper work. When I stripped it, it was real clean and it seems to function fine. I say "seems to" because as I said, I don't know squat about handguns or the 92FS. My AR & AK I know, this is all new to me. |

Prices from Gunsamerica.com
www.gunsamerica.com/searches/PNLZYH8AAAEAAHjQe6M-1.htm Pick up some Beretta high cap mags (asian military are okay also). The gun is more fun with the hi caps. It is heavy and has light recoil so it pop-pop-pops forever without jumping around too much. |

A Beretta 92fs was my first handgun. I didn't really like it that much when I first got it, but it has really grown on me now. It has NEVER malfunctioned, and shoots great. I highly recommend.

I have a 92FS that use for Carry / home defense and absolutely love it. I'm in about the 10,000 round range on it and also have never had a hickup. Slight wear on the barell finish as you described is normal, if you buy a new one you will have that in no time also, don't worry about it.
New ones are around $560 around here also, I've never seen a new one for $489. I'd grab it. Mike |

I was just told by email (yetman) that the wear on the barrel by the slide ring is not normal, that the barrel should never touch it. Dakota says it's normal and not to worry. Now I'm confused.
Which is it? |

Its normal, my stainless shows wear in the same place. BUY IT !!!! ...if you let it slip through your fingers you'll be kicking yourself in the @zz later.

I'm going in the morning - right when they open. I figured I should wait overnight, I'm trying hard to overcome the "I've Gotta Have It NOW!!" impulse I get every time I stop by the gun store....  I'll post a photo tomorrow night after I get it and take it to the range. Sniff.....it's like pictures of the kids..... |

Well, not that anybody really cares, but I made a purchase.
Not the Beretta 92FS for $399, but I did some searching and picked up a Sig Sauer P226 w/1 Hi-Cap 15rnd mag for $399. Did I do good? I plan to replace the grips w/some Hogues.  |
