Nice gun! Aim Surplus just started selling them too. Not a big fan of the .32 only because of the cost of that round and the difficulty of finding them in a retail store.
Now if that was in 380, I'd be all over it!

Haha caught in the act!!! The vendor was a little iffy on my proposition, but it got him some cash in his pocket. And I figured with a quality pistol like a Beretta the tolerance stacking of various parts wouldn't be an issue. So far I've been proven correct since it functions great. And only the frame is serialized so who would know.
Update for my little Beretta: got a sight pusher and took care of the windage (need to shoot it to confirm). Also I decided I needed to clean the FP channel and extractor. I used a thin punch to tap the staking back in place, disassembled and cleaned. It wasn't as dirty as I thought but my OCD can rest now. I put it back together and used a 3/8 flathead screwdriver to stake the extractor pin back. The staking looks pretty clean and I'm glad I went through with it.
And $125?! Shit might have to search that out in the March show even just for the magazine and to use as spare parts...
When I circled back, he had one marked down to $100. Said the slide is super stiff for some reason, and it was. Sold as is. You probably could have figured it out. Anyway, a great deal in any shape. 32 is much maligned but in my hand it felt pretty potent. No less so than my Makarov. Trust me, it would have taken down that church shooter just the same.
Geco is under $10 and finally coming back in stock. I just got a case for $179 from LAX. The old German RWS/Geco was the best .32 made. The new Ruag/Geco is Hungarian, and darn near as good. Midway had it on clearance last year for like 5.99 a box. Target Sports has it for $199 shipped but still not in stock.
I like the Fiocchi too. Many places have it for under $12. It disappeared for a month or two after this batch of 81's came into the country.
Dang I missed them somehow. I would have entertained one of them.
I heard several vendors saying Friday was unusually slow for sales. So its not surprising getting a little cash into the vendor's pocket convinced him to let you play matchmaker.
Isn't the Oaks December show usually a week or two earlier? This time it was three days before Christmas and that may have played into the slow sales.
That's a great deal! I picked up an 81BB from AIMSurplus. Great looking and great shooting pistol!
Anyone in the Philly area have these in stock?
Classic firearms has them.
