I've recently come upon a rather good bargain. A Beretta 92FS(unfired!) with five 15 round magazines for 660.00 dollars. I've never shot/used a Beretta before and am curious as to how they perform.
Most Beretta 92FS are aluminum framed.If you want a steel framed semi...
.Glad to hear, I want because they used the Berettas in the Resident Evil games. Not to mention our military uses them. I heard they don't have much recoil due to the steel frame
Also not a fan, carried m9 for nine years as AF cop. I've had it jam up solid during training. Also got back from the field one day to find the slide release had fallen off entirely. Shoots ok, but I don't care for DA/SA action. I can shoot any of my personal full sizes better than the berreta, gimme a 1911 and I'd have gotten my pistol ribbon but not with berreta. For those that are saying "our millitary uses them" please don't think that's an automatic plus. It's only a sidearm and won the contract decades ago, they're just too cheap/broke to buy somthing better for standard issue.Not a fan, but maybe I'm biased. Used a Beretta in the Army for years, and I'd take just about any gun in the world aside from it. I'd rather have a revolver! 1911, SIG, Glock, Browning HP, anything but the 92.
I've had more jams shooting Berettas than all other handguns combined that I've shot. Decent weapon, until you get a little dirty and grime in it...then it turns to ****. I've primarily used it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Arizona, and Texas...all dusty environments...it doesn't take well to them.
My Browning HP on the other hand has never jammed...ONCE! God Bless you John Browning.
Ok, rant over.
