$300 Beretta 92S

[danb]

It is hard to go wrong with a $300 Beretta 92. These have a lot of character. If you get the real Beretta mags, they will fit (you need the ones with the notch at the bottom, these pre-date the military contract and have a bottom catch). Mec-Gar or some other aftermarket will not fit. Parts are very easy to find (including correct grips on ebay with the bottom notch for the mag release), and the barrels on these seem to be decent. Choose hand pick. I think these are surplus Italian law enforcement and mostly: Italian Law enforcement spends a lot of time attacking a good salami. You might find some dried formaggio that you need to scrape out. The proper lube might be extra virgin.

The sights and slide will probably be worn a from holster wear. Might have to apply a little Kentucky windage due to wear. The only other quirk vs the newer models is that you need to remove the mag release at the bottom to change the hammer spring.

These will not be a safe queen. On the other hand, they will not need to be taken to the range in your hermetically sealed pistol case stuffed with silica packs, and they will shoot great.

for $7 have your FFL ship the 15 rounder to your out of state friend.

I honestly was nowhere near thinking about buying another handgun for a long time, and now I find myself looking forward to thinking about this deal for the next couple of hours.

I saw these for $265 at Chantilly. Unbelievable price.

You are correct. Just ordered one.

Wow, that's good price. I got mine for $249 couple months ago. With shipping and everything ended up around $310, not too shabby.

No need to, it's sold out

Now, everyone does know these are heal release right? Cheap USGI won't work useless you mod them.

That is a very important detail that I was not aware of
Thank you!

At Nations Gun Show in Chantilly, VA

https://www.thenationsgunshow.com/

This and The Oaks in PA are the two big shows close to MD.

SOG and Classic firearms have some for sale also. I'm not sure who's better to deal with between them all.

Had one, they kind of suck. Crappy sights and heel mag release. M9s are now $500 shipped, looking at going that route.

Saw a good price recently at Classic Firearms, but when the AIM deal was going on, my FFL said it wasn't on the roster so that was a no go. This was also confirmed by an email exchange with Ms. Jenkins... Am I missing something here?

92S models were made before 1985 (http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/guide-beretta-92/). Most if not all on the market are surplus Italian law enforcement. You can verify this because when you take the grips off to clean it you'll find crusty old parmesan cheese. The instructions say that the proper lube is olive oil. The good news, I do not think Italian police do much because these are in excellent condition, save some holster wear.

Guns made before 1985 are exempt from the roster. Your FFL should fill out the paperwork accordingly.

The latest year I've seen them proofed with was 2006. I'm not sure if the Italians kept ordering them after they had been discontinued or if that's the proofing date when they were first sold out of govt service as surplus. I've also seen ones without civilian proof marks on them, but also don't know if that's because they were never proofed originally as govt guns or if they missed them when selling them out of service.
