I need help.. I keep buying Beretta pistols..

[BigMoose]

Nice find, those are classics.

I had another one before, that got away from me during some sad circumstances.. still miss it. (got a pic of it).

Picking these up, it makes me remember what a perfect hand fitting size these things are.

Ohh and I remember they have a funny habit of ejecting right on your nogin (head).

I would definitely not pay 499 for something Atlantic grades as fair-good, the last batch they had a few months I ago I paid 499 for one that was supposed to be rated excellent and it wasn't by far, I promptly sold it, can't imagine what a fair to good one would really look like.

Yeah I think there stuff is overpriced, and kinda over hyped. It still sells out for the most part.

The 85BBs everyone got back from the Italian Customs Police are still in stock a lot of places though.

Yeah, if they were really priced based on their condition and they were cheap enough it might be worth it to get one and have it cerakoted but not at 500.00.

The 84 are a little more tough to come by recently.

I am rather bummed. RGUNs got some Beretta 82 in, but they are listing them on gunbroker in small lots instead of just selling them.

The prices on 84's and 85's the last couple years have been crazy, and they're not exactly rare there were a ton of them imported over the years and they're not really collectible etc. If i'm going to pay 500.00 for an old .380 it better look like new.

This is an interesting one found on GB, it must be some kind of put together custom gun. They call it a 92D because that's what it says on the slide. The frame serial number is actually from a 96 .40 cal from 2000, likely from what was called the Model 96 Stock. I had one of those when they first came out, they had frame mounted safeties but they were different than the Combats. It looks like someone took a 96 Stock frame and added a 92D slide with the frame mounted safety cutout and a KKM barrel with the same front nut set-up that the Stocks had.
Maybe BigMoose can win this one and have a cheap 'Combat'.

Mid 900s and climbing, that 92X Performance Defensive is looking better and better all the time.

Bingo. I feel the same way about the BHP, too. Something like 1.5million were made, yet somehow when Browning says “we’re done,” prices nearly doubled on them, and folks were dumb enough to pay it so now the market’s all jacket up. It’s asinine.

I've been toying with the idea of the new APX A1 Full Size but no one seems to have one in stock. I don't want to order one until I see how it feels in my hand.

I dunno what LGS told you that. I rarely buy new guns mind you, but I remember an awesome LGS in Martinsville selling me a new in box Italian made 92FS for barely over 500. 2017 dated. It was 2018 or so when i got it.

That's a good deal on that one, those were a limited run a year or two ago using a 92D slide and a vertec frame, one place still shows some new ones and they are almost 800.00.

Late last year, I moved from Indy to Terre Haute so the Noblesville store would be about a 2 hour drive, each way. And that is the closest store. now how do I convince the wife to go to Noblesville?!?

If it didn't have a rail, it would have been gone by now.
