I'm in a bit of a dilemna...I have found 2 very good 9mm specimens that I would like to buy and can only buy 1 of them due to budget;
The first is a used Beretta Italian made Inox 92FS~seems like low mileage, some rubbing on the barrel from the slide and a moderate amount of clearcoat removed from the frame where the slide and locking block make contact (clearcoat comes off easier than anodizing); 4 mix-and-match Beretta and MecGar hi-cap mags; no box; no paperwork; excellent condition asking $559.00
The second is a nib FN Herstal FNP-9~polymer frame, interchangable backstraps, stainless slide, 3 hi-cap mags, decocker, box, paperwork, lock; new condition asking $449.97
I have always liked Berettas; I'm usually not a used gun fan; this one seems clean and well-cared for; ergonomics are great; seems very heavy to me
I have not experienced any FN Herstal products; the price is good and the feedback on this model is phenomenally positive; ergonomics are great for a poly gun; weight distribution is good
Anyone have any balanced feedback? Is $560 too much for a lightly used Italian Inox with 4 mags? Does the FN need a longer track record before investing in one?
