Beretta 92FS - Made in Italy

[KIGY]

I never owned a Beretta but I have the chance to pick up one,brand new in the box,model 92FS,blued finish,two 15rd mags,made in Italy.Price: $400.Any inputs on this model?PROS and CONS?Is it a decent pistol?What other accessories are available and is it a good shooter straight from the box or needs some TLC?Thanks !

thats a fantastic deal for a 92FS, buy it.

the italian ones with the blued finish I like better, no mechanical differences, it will be a good shooter straight out of the box.

very good. Just know it is a big pistol and if you have small hands it will not fit well. I had one and got ride of it for that reason. Nice gun.

The gun is down in Kingsland, Georgia.I'm a truck driver and I go to Miami area every week,same run.I'll need to have the pistol sent to an FFL in Erie after I buy it. It looked like a good deal to me also.One thing I didn't like was the open barrel but from what the owner said they will not import the 92 model anymore.Is it true?

[JayBell]

they are now made in Maryland, no need to import them.
they built a plant for US Mil production.

open bbl for reliability. The beretta 92/96 is based on the walther p38 design if I am not mistaken

Definitely get it for that price. Especially since it's made in Italy...I personally don't care (my 92FS INOX is made in the USA) but a lot of people will pay a premium for Italian made 92's. Good luck!

I bought it along with Crimson Trace Grips LG-202.I checked out the LG-302 grips but I liked the older model better.Good looking pistol.
