Beretta 92a1 - is it worth it?

[TheGrumpyGuy]

I'm hopefully going to go look at a used Beretta 92a1 9mm, made in January of 2011 according to the serial #. If it's in decent shape, is it worth the $400 asking price?

Sounds reasonable if it's in really good shape. I bought mine brand new for 650 or so, great pistol just doesn't seem to be many holsters available for this particular model

If it looks decent, I'm reasonably sure I can talk them down by 10 or maybe even 15% - and if worse comes to worse, I have a friend who could most likely make a holster for me.

Thanks for your input!

As much as I wanted to hate the Beretta M9 I really liked it. Would get one in a second. My only wish would be like the brigadier X series has the removable dovetailed front sight just my preference these days but I never had an issue with a regular Beretta sight.

Yes. Save up and send it to LTT for a work over and it will come back even better. For $400, almost any 92 would be worth it, they’re incredibly smooth shooters!

Heck yea I payed $600 for mine and thought it was a great deal at the time.came with 6 mags and original case.

OP...I vote 'get it'! A Beretta is a fantastic pistol. As much as I dislike the standard DA/SA trigger, I absolutely love my Beretta 92 Centurian DAO pistol...and, because it was a law enforcement pistol, it already has the replaceable tritium front sight insert installed.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I had pretty much already convinced myself to get it if it was in decent shape, just needed that final push off the cliff into ownership.

Unfortunately, the current holder of this item is unable to actually sell it for another 3 or 4 weeks (long story for another time/thread), so hopefully I won't forget about it and miss out on a good weapon.

Yes.

Short answer.

As a Beretta 92 fan a 92 A1 is a great buy at $400 especially if in good condition.
