I may have a decent deal on my hands...a used Beretta 96 40 S&W (ex police) standard model (I believe is a 96D)
Very little external wear, feels tight, excellent bore.
I always had a soft spot for this pistol, the 92 was my service handgun in the military
What are the weak spots?? I heard somewhere that some early 96 had some ka-booming trouble because, being derived from the standard earlier 92 9mm model, the early barrels took away lot of chamber support for the feeding ramp.
So what's the story?? Any particular year/SN to avoid??
Should I stick to a "traditional" 92??
Thank you
Regards
