Beretta 92FS INOX

[Thad]

All I wanted was to have one of these after calling at least fifteen dealers no go. I am sure a lot of members can sympathize with my quest. I realize it is dicontinued but someone must have one? If you live in Canada(not legal to buy from US) and know where I can find one PLEASE let me know.Wholesale Sports in Calgary had one a sold it monday, aww come on. Must have this 9mm or I will die...

Not to rain on your parade, but...

A 92FS INOX was my first semi-auto. It was also the only gun I have even given away. A few problems:

- shot 2" low and 4" left at 10 yards - could have drifted the rear sight, but with the other problems, I didn't waste my time

- accuracy was so-so at best - 3" offhand at 10 yards was typical; I could blame myself, but would routinely shoot a 3/4" group with a 686 immediately afterwards

- finish lasted about a month - The metal on the grip started turning black almost immediately. Turns out the frame is aluminum and anodized. Anodizing is not even close to stainless in the corrosion resistance department. I wasn't aware the INOX was discontinued, but this might be the reason. Beretta was nice enough to refinish it for me, but I knew it would just corrode again if I shot it, so I gave it to my brother.

I'll hand it to Beretta though, the machining was top notch, and the reliability was 100%.

Just my two cents worth.

Well I guess it was not meant to be, they are VERY hard to find.

dont listen to the guy above he probably isnt used to the gun, my 96 inox was my first gun and i still have it and it quite accurate and i wouldnt sell it ever, its mostly became a safe queen because my glock fits me a little bit better, as for finding one i cant help you because i know nothing about laws in canada land lol

Trying to answer your question: Around here Academy has had the Inox 92FS'. Also the local dealer I use has them instock now. I know your in Canada, but do you have any larger retail type sporting goods stores like Cabela's or Bass Pro? Maybe they can order one. There's some distributors here that still have them. That's how my local FFL is getting them. I don't know how that works up there though but a special order maybe you best bet.

You can get a Beretta 92FS INOX from www.Budsgunshop.com for $514. Won't a canadian shop accept a transfer from a US FFL?

 

[Kurt_D]

Nope, can't sell and ship guns or gun parts to Canada with out permits. Permits FFLs probably won't have BUT U.S. distributors may have... I mean the guns have to get up there some how.

Even if it's only through Canadian distributors, it's probably just like here; they have them the local store just has to order.

I am not 100% sure but if you buy the gun have it put in a display case then it is perfectly legal, to ship to canada as a display.

Nope been through it all over and over. No US guns to the dealer only Canadian suppliers can obtain them. Beretta let me know through e-mail that they are no longer producing the INOX. I called over 17 gun shops across Canada and not one. One was at Wholesale Sports in Calgary but was sold.Thanks for the advice. I bought a CZ 75B stainless instead.

I feel for you bother...don't give up hope that one day you'll stumble across one! Good luck
Congrats on the new CZ tho!

Thanks 10-Ring I am still on the hunt for one!
