A Beretta 96!! Just got it today. Havn't had a chance to shoot it yet but this weekend is looking promising :) Can't wait to get out there on the range!

THe 96 is my favorite 40 S&W. It's the most accurate & most fun 40 S&W pistol I owned & shot...congrat!

[Ian]

Yeah, .40 is all well and good...until someone loses an eye. You sure you don't want something that uses a REAL cartridge, like the .45? :neener:

Seriously, nice purchase. Feel free to post some pics from the range. :)

First gun and it is a Beretta? You sure are off to a good start. My first handgun was a lowly Jennings J-22.:(

Seriously, nice purchase. Feel free to post some pics from the range..................:uhoh: :what:

[Marko Kloos]

That's a fine handgun right there. All the Beretta 92s and 96s I've ever owned have been accurate and totally trouble-free.

OVER ACHIEVER!!!!!!!!!!

:) NICE GOING!

[meathammer]

Good choice. The 96 was also my first handgun. Enjoy! :)

man, I wish I had gotten a decent gun as my first gun. My first was a .22LR rifle (which I'm not too happy with anymore, and too wimpy), a .22LR handgun (quite like still...though still wimpy), .380 ACP handgun (better..not quite as accurate, expensive to shoot), and now a .50 cal muzzleloader. I know if I had saved all the money I've spent on guns, ammo, acessories, etc, that I would have enough (or close to enough) to get my holy grail (9mm) handgun. Oh well, nothing wrong with more guns! :D

[cordex]

Congrats on the new pistol!

[Standing Wolf]

Congratulations!

[Dave R]

Good choice. We'll be waiting for your range report. ;)

[Ala Dan]

Best Wishes,

Nice gun, i have a taurus PT92 (beretta clone). Very accurate and It's never misfed a round, no matter what i fead it.

[Kahr carrier]

Congrats on your new 40 Cal.:D

[Thrash1982]

Finally got around to posting a picture of my new gun. Here it is, hopefully I'm doing this right, never posted a pic before

[blue86buick]

nope, didn't work! try again :p

[Thrash1982]

Well, looks like my first try was a failure, oh well. I think the file was too big. If a moderator would please delete my previous posting that would be great. Ok, here's another try.

[HankL]

Very nice Thrash! Congrats on your new pistola. Enjoy and be safe.

[George Hill]

Nice choice. Bravo.

But your knife selection... tsk tsk tsk...

[Soap]

Don't worry man, one day you'll own a 1911 ;)

Congrats! We should hit Jasper-Pulaski sometime in the fall. :)

[Thrash1982]

Absolutely Dan. Can't wait to get back to school and shoot with everybody again. Next month I'll probably get a .22 conversion kit for my Beretta so I can use it at pistol club. But I think it'll be a bit more fun up at Jasper-Pulaski.

[Lennyjoe]

Congrats

I got its half brother, A Taurus PT100;)

Yeah, .40 is all well and good...until someone loses an eye. You sure you don't want something that uses a REAL cartridge, like the .45?

This from the guy who's such a big fan of the Colt 1903...

Congrats

I have the 96 Border Marshal. a brigadier with Trijicon NS. Fantastic handgun.

[Thrash1982]

And now . . . . the range report.

Finally got to shoot it today. Shoots perfectly. I put 150 rounds of Winchester white box through it with no problems. Tried to catch my brass on a drop cloth that I brought (I'm a reloader) but the ejection is very powerful and unpredictable. Out of 150 rounds I only managed to save about 50. Other than that it is very accurate and a joy to shoot. The sights seem to be dead on right out of the box.

[BowStreetRunner]

awesome man!
congrats on your purchase

[Selfdfenz]

Well then double congrats.
