What would you pay for a Beretta 92?

[ironworkerwill]

Shoulda added "no bashing" What about the military/police turn-ins for ~$300?

their ugly on top of that

...said no one ever.

Except for that Mike T guy.

For an excellent condition 92fs, with two 15 round mags, I'd pay around $400 if I were in the market. Less for worse condition.

It's a good gun, but far from the best for what it does. It's a massive 9mm pistol with strong capacity. You can get 17 round mags.

For comparison, there are a lot of excellent pistols on the market that are better IMO for the same or less money. CZ75, CZP09/P07, Glock, Sig, CZ999 ($280), XD, SW MP, etc. and clones of many of these...

If you love the gun and must have it, I'd say for an excellent one, up to $500 would be fair.

I picked one up last weekend used, some slide wear, one 15 round mag for $279. Turns out it is an awesome shooter. I'm really happy and that's all that counts

Homage. I would be willing to pay a whole lot of homage for a Beretta 92. Other than that, I'd just as soon let someone who wants it pay for it.

$0.00

Pretty much.

I mean, if it was absolutely dirt cheap, maybe $200 in very good condition, I'd buy it and resell to double my money with basic zero effort. Personally though, I dislike just about everything about it.

Speaking purely aesthetically, it's a beautiful gun. I just don't care to ever shoot one again. Didn't do it for me.

Around my area they are going for about $450 with two 15 round mags for a gun in very good condition. I have a 92FS and it is very accurate. I don't use it as a carry gun, mainly just target shooting.

I paid $525 last year for very slightly used (looked almost new) 92FS with two 15rd mags.

 

[Lord Teapot]

500ish if it was in newish condition. you wont get one that's in any kind of decent shape for under 400 unless you're dealing with a desperate individual, though there are quite a few of those in the present economy.

Got a brand new Italian 92FS from Grab-A-Gun for $509 plus $6 shipping for a total of $515. Plus $10 transfer fee (I get a discount through my gun range club membership), so total was $525 for brand new FS92.

Grab-A-Gun still has this deal: http://grabagun.com/beretta-92fs-9mm-4-9-bl-2-15rd-itly.html

In the last year or so, I've seen a couple pass through the LGS at $450, 3 mags, unfired.

 

[Gravedigger56]

Picked up a 92FS a couple of months ago. NIB, $549 with 2 mags.

I picked-up an almost unfired 1996 example at the LGS for $450 w/ one 10 rd Hillary Mag. I liked my M9 in the Army, and had been looking for a nice all-metal parts example to add to the collection. New and used 15 rd mags are cheap and easy to find. The M92, especially the 90's guns, are a far superior weapon to today's trendy poly-strikers.

Just depends if you like the make/model and want to own one.

Personally, I've never particularly cared for the somewhat over-size 92/96 series pistols.

I had the chance several years ago to buy a 92 when a local agency was clearing out their older inventory and transitioning from 92's to 96's. Got a call from another instructor who said I could buy one from his agency (as a cop), and that they had a number of unissued/NIB examples set aside in their inventory. The price? I recall it was something like $216, plus taxes & required FFL fees through a local dealer.

I appreciated his call and offer, but I passed. I simply don't care for the make/model.

It's all about whether you want one or not.
