    I'm not sure why you posted this instead of immediately calling them lol, that's a 1-1200.00 gun easy, especially with the box and two mags. I waited a bit too long and somebody was buying it as I was talking to the guy, it'll probably end up on GB in a day or two.
    I thought about it. But the INOX isn't really my thing, so I offered it here.. hoping someone would snap it up.

    I got an INOX Tomcat, and the slide serrations collect and show dirt easy. I have a Two Tone Bobcat with an INOX slide, and I hope I can avoid the same thing.

    That and I have a late date Alloy 1951/951, which is already more or less the same thing.

    I tried to snap it up as I knew I would never lose money on it. The only downside is magazines are ridiculously expensive if you happen to find one, even the junk Triple K's are running 60.00.

    Well, I'm kinda glad somebody did because I was going to call them first thing in the morning, and that would have been a very poor financial decision at the moment, lol.

    Saw that Inox Compact L Type M and wasn't fast enough with the phone, already sold just a few minutes before! Wish they would have other firearms half price!

    I love the look and feel of Berettas, and I have owned several. I just can't hit the broadside of a barn with one. :( :xmad:
    Not sure which ones you've tried, but if it was a standard 92 you should give something with the Vertec grip a try (92 Vertec, M9A3/4, 92X, etc). It's easier to get your hand around and changes the grip angle for the better, IMO. It doesn't necessarily "feel" better at first try, but it definitely helps keep me on target.

    Yeah I really do want to get one with that new grip, but without the rail.. really need to pull the trigger on that 92X Performance Defensive.

    @ the corner of IN, KY & OH.
    Which ones? Some of the small ones are a little tricky. But some of them I have found some of the easiest stuff to shoot.
    All the ones I owned were either 92's or 96's, both standard and Centurions. They fit my hand great and point very well, I just don't shoot them well. I qualified expert with an M9 once in the military, but chocked that up to just having a good day. I would love to try a 92 Compact and an 84 or 85, but have never found one for rent. The 84's and 85's feel awesome. They are selling for a premium on GB.
    I also owned a Taurus PT99 back in the 90's. I could hit with it all day. :dunno:

    There are several 85BBs for sale at Atlantic now. Little more expensive then they have been though. But not terrible.

    I've shot the M9A3 and did better with it than the others. All the ones I have owned were based on the 92/M9. I just like the classic looks and feel of the 92FS the best.
    I totally get that. I prefer the classic look of my old 92FS, and it feels good in the hand. When I bought my 92X Compact, I initially put the big backstrap on it, because I wanted the classic feel. I was having trouble hitting with it so I switched to the smaller Vertec-Style panels and it made a huge difference at the target.

    I think the trigger reach, particularly in DA, on the classic gun caused by the humped backstrap, makes it hard to maintain a consistent grip between shots. The Vertec felt a little weird at first, but once I got my grip established it stayed planted.
