So the stainless one. I’ve had my first 92F since 1989, my 93r since 1999, so in 2010 it made sense to me to buy a 92 FS in stainless. I think Beretta had transitioned from the straight dust cover to the slanted one, which I find less appealing aesthetically. So I bought this 1993 made in very good condition.



So back to my 92 combat seller, he also had an 8 inch target barrel. He bought it new as blued, then threw some more money at it to get it coated, and used it on his 92 brigadier stainless. He then sold the gun but kept the barrel, and pushed me to buy it with the combat.



I had no real need or desire for that barrel, but we then agreed on a package deal for the 92 combat, the barrel, a few mags including an original 20 rd 93 r mag, and a Hämmerli 215 competition pistol in .22 lr.
