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

[BigMoose]

The compacts were always my favorite, I had several M model single stacks over the years but those are hard to find now.

I finally ran across one of these guns.

I like the looks.

Bought this Beretta in early 2022. It's sighted in and running 100% on a diet of Remington 115gr. FMJ.

I saw those, there is a site that still has never sold NIB 92X Performance Defensive pistols for just over 1200. I was tempted for sure

I think we all need help here! That’s why we joined, so we can justify our crazy with like minded lunatics. You only live once, and those who die with the most toys still dies. Live it up!!!

I liked the TV show back In the day.

And not just the small ones, the big ones too, and odd ones.

Anyone else have the Beretta obsession?

I just bought my first Beretta-a Cheetah. I haven't shot it yet. How does yours shoot? Mine is nickel plated and to me it is a work of art.

I was bidding on that one until it started to get ridiculous.

I hate that site, Registered there, and still yet have yet to actually buy anything there...

I thought you were tracking that Combat, is the auction over?

Nah, I didn't feel like paying the sky high prices.. particularly when I saw a new in box never sold 92X Performance Defensive pistol on a website for sale for 1200.

Yeah, you'll definitely have to pay up to get one of those combats.

Went for $3000, I can get a 92X Performance Defensive for $1299

Here is another. Listed poorly, listed just as an SB compact. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/973154957

Can’t let BigMoose have all the fun.
This is my Italian made 92FS Inox with all Wilson Combat internals and fully adjustable LPA rear sight and original Beretta factory wood grips. It’s a shooter for sure!

I totally agree with the auctions on GunBroker and virtually everywhere coming up with ridiculous “hammer down” prices. People are either succumbing to “bidding fever” or just do not know what they are doing and getting. Of course, there are people who must have something, like everything on life, and will pay dearly for what they want.

In addition, and this is the pessimist in me, I do believe there are shills planted on some auctions be they live or online. Some of the bidding patterns I see seem to reflect non-sensical price jumps early and late in the bidding time allowed. (Just my on auctions.)

I just can't make myself bid on anything there.

I think I will just wait and see what pops up on INGO, sold a few things via INGO, just never bought anything.

Nice one. I keep looking at the 92X Performance Defensive for $1299, really should pull the trigger, but I think I will wait and see if something interesting pops up on INGO

 

[bgcatty]

BigMoose, pull that trigger as soon as you can! If there is one thing I’ve learned after over six decades on this planet, life is too short to not enjoy the things you love! Be they guns, fine aged scotch or bourbon, or good beer, buy them and enjoy them. Period!

Anyone, correct me if not correct, but I’ve read and heard that Beretta 92 pistols are “regulated” with 124 grain ammo and fairly strong loads. Sometimes even with NATO 124 grain bullet loads.
PS: This post is NOT in any way meant to be a criticism! My 92 shoots 115s fine but I personally shoot better with my 124 grain reloads.
