Anyone know anything about these pistols (Beretta 92 Compact Type M)?

Are they any good? Are the still in production?

How do they compare in size to the Sig P239?

As always you input and opinions are appreciated.

They're wonderful guns -- I have two and plan to get more. Yes, they're still in production but you have to special order them as few stores will actually have them in stock. Only takes a few days for me to get them though. I love the way they feel to the hand and they're super accurate. I've looked into Sigs, specially the 239 and 228, but I didn't like the way the guns felt. The M had a better fit -- and can be customized by the Guru of all things Beretta, Ernest Langdon at www.langdontactical.com

:cool:
 
Denmark....They are great pistols! As I write, I'm awaiting delivery of a new one myself. Had 2 in the past and sold them only because I thought I could attempt to own every pistol in the World, one at a time. I'm going to buy a second one very soon. I just found a good source for these beauties...Ralphs Guns in Houston, Texas...He has an auction right now for several of them at a great price on GunBroker.com. If you call, mention that J.P. from Wisconsin directed you his way...Ask him anything you like concerning the Type M, and please join us at BerettaForum.net for much more Type M input and good conversation.......Zebulon

What are the dimensions?

How is the finish?

I saw the ads on gunbroker.com and that is what got my interest...
 
It's a Beretta 92 with Liposuction. They are awesome. I love them. I've been trying to get one for awhile but when I have the funds they are scarce... when I don't have the funds, I find 3 mint ones.
:rolleyes:
 
The compact M is more slender than the compact L which holds ten rounds to the M's eight. Being single stack, it's an ideal carry gun, slightly smaller, and simply put -- a joy to shoot. There's nothing unique about the finish, it's as good as the other Beretta finishes. You can e-mail me at [email protected] if you want me to send you a picture of mine. I have a blue M with hard chrome on the slide and barrel. My father took my inox gun.....:(
 
Type M

I got one a few weeks back from Brad Taylor over at the Berettaforum and http://www.berettacollection.com/. He moves alot of Berettas and other stuff over at the forum.

The Type M is a single stack, short slide version like the Centurion (I beleive). The Cent is supposed to be BUSA CCW like a Colt Commander.

Personally, I love the looks of the 92 series, had a Border Marshall a few years back, but just could not love it because the grip is so bulky. The M series are very slim and every time I pick the gun up I want to sing "Secret Agent Man".

Mine was an LEO trade in, hard plastic grip panels, blue, nights and three mags. Got it for a great price ... much below what I think it is worth.

It shoots perfectly to poa. The trigger is fantastic in sa or da and recoil is negligible. This gun kept me from buying a Glock19. I like it cause I can really shoot it well, pinpoint accuracy and fast. It carries well also, barely noticeable.


If it is a new gun in the low to mid $400s, then jump on it. Mags may be hard to find, but just look around. I did get lucky and found a left handed 92 holster that worked just fine with it at the ffl dealer where I picked mine up. Gave the me the holster for $10.

Love mine. This gun and an HK USPC45 have actually cured my "gun wanders lust" for the loast couple of months. I have just not found anything else that has caught my eye.

There is a really nice one on sale right now in THR forum and Beretta forum with 5 mags for $450. Hop on it if it is in your price range.Dimensions
