I plan on getting one of those beretta 92s but having decide where I would get it from due to mix reviews. SOG has it for $279 but I need to pay 3% credit cards fees and both classic and J&G has them for $299.

I think their shipping charge are similar $20-$25, but more concern about the likely hood of getting a better piece.

On the hand, I had seen lots of police 92fs trade ins for around $350. It is possible to get a used 92FS under $400?

Thanks

I have used SOG, AIM and J&G. Never Classlic.

I was happy with the quality of handpick from both, but J&G did get it out the door a little quicker.

No matter where you buy, shipping will be a bit expensive. Has to be overnight/2day or priority for pistol...usually.

I have used these exact companies and have never been disappointed.

Have never used Classic due to the multitude of poor reviews online.

I had dealing with all three, J&G and SOG have been the best to work with, I'll buy from them again. Classic is slow to process, slow to ship and overpriced but carry a wider selection of firearms.

Both J&G and SOG have stood by my purchases and corrected issues when I emailed them. One time for a missing magazine and the other a crappy C&R holster. In most cases you get what you pay for but part of that is service. Classic puts a lot of BS product videos out but I can't speak well about their service.

I like SOG
The mag can be blocked by your FFL
Who will ship the mag(S)?
Also , does shipping to a FFL that is not C&R require overnight?

Think long and hard before using SOG. Here is what they sent when my buddy paid $309 for "Excellent" grade and paid $10 extra for hand picked:





Here's a short write-up I did about the pistol:

I did not. Although it is not as advertised, I would rather have it as is than take a chance on getting a non-matching or reworked one.

Another SOG customer. I've purchased from all three, and SOG is consistently the best.

Ok, but what's with their shipping rate? It won't tell you how much it is till paid? And 3% credit card fees? Seems like list it lower in price and make it up on fees

Different but some mags work on both.
There is a different notch and you can get them but you have to look for the notch. You can add the notch if you like. Vids out there on it. I got some mags at the Chantilly show but have not cut them yet.
