Has anyone handled or shot the Beretta Steel-I? If you did what is your impression of it? Thanks.

Wow!

With all the collective firearms experience/wisdom on the THR no one has any info/opinions on the Beretta Steel-I?:eek:

I doubt anyone even has one yet.

It's essentially a Beretta Millennium only without the super small number produced and the different finish.

Looks interesting though.

Billenium had an alloy frame though, didnt it?

[patentnonsense]

No, the Billennium has a steel frame.

I fondled a Steel at the DACA show, and I like the grip on my Bill better - the Steel is very similar in most ways, but has the straight backstrap (a la Vortec), which I don't like as well as the normally curved 92-series grip.

Now if only they'd bring out a 9x23 version of the 92 - just stretch the mag well a little bit ...

[nero45acp]

Patentnonsense, did you get the opportunity to dry-fire the Steel-I? If you did, how was the trigger? I have the Vertec 92FS Inox and prefer the Vertec type grip myself.

Dry fire? No, 'twas only pulled out from under glass after some coaxing!

[Skunkabilly]

Are they on the market now? :cuss: my lousy legislature!!!

[faustulus]

Skunk you are either going to have to give up your dreams of cool (read: safety in the right bloody place) Berettas or move. :D

[Skunkabilly]

Maybe Houston. I hear there are a lot of Korean and Viet girls there :evil:

Lots of bright Korean and Viet girls here too -
but Houston is one of the few places in the world with worse weather and prettier women than Dallas -
how much HOT can you handle??

[faustulus]

Houston: derived from an ancient Apache word meanding "hotter than the place the the white man fears"

Just kidding, I like Texas (since it is just a suburb of Tennessee :p )
Amazing how many of those kooky kids flock to our city to be country music stars. But hey, we need waiters too. :)

[MoNsTeR]

With an MSRP of $1730, I think it'll be a while before the first THR range report :p

I look so tactical with my Royal Robbins pants and banjo!!!

[Nightcrawler]

Question. Are the Berettas with the frame mounted safeties single action only, or do they have the Taurus style safety where all the way down is decock (a bad idea, I think)?

Or, are they like a CZ-75B, double action, but you have to lower the hammer manually?

[Longbow]

Its like the Taurus except the comp model. I handled one ' bout 2 years ago at a manufacturer shoot (GAT GUNS). Its only for display though, no dry fire allowed.

[patentnonsense]

The Billennium is a straight single action.

If ya got a banjo, then ya'd fit right it. :D
