Thanks for all the input, men/women. I bought it. $450 and I'm happy.
leadcounsel said:Yes, the Beretta had problems with blowing up and injuring the shooter. Sure the problem was fixed. But.... enough to raise eyebrows IMO.
Maybe I just got really lucky, but about 2 years ago, I bought my brand-new Italian-made 92FS in box with 2 15-round mags at a local gun shop for $499.
My friend has a 92FS and his trigger looks like metal to me and his recoil guide rod is steel.Do they offer these as options? tom.
