Nice piece! I hope it serves you well! Great handgun!
I have somewhat of a fondness for Berettas and my most recent find and purchase was a 92S.

This is also one of my favorite guns. I am thinking about buying another one.

I can't remember seeing a picture of one of these for a long time. Nice ! I once had the model 87LB but it is now gone, I still have my 87 though.

I've had a Cheetah for quite some time. POA/POI are right on. I DO experience some light strikes with cheap(er) ammo. It likes WW and CCI though. Neat little .22.

Thanks. You need to pick the ammo carefully if you want no malfunctions. Quite accurate considering the short sight radius and the long trigger travel. I love the balance and feel in the hand and the look of course. Mine has in excess of 10,000 rounds through it to date.

Is the grip thickness more like a Model 84 or an 85?

Reliability? Accuracy, at maximum effort by a good shooter? Will it easily hit a soup can at 25 yards? Snake head at 15 yards?

My pistol target is the end of an exhaust valve -- a 2 1/2" circle @ 25 yards. I probably miss it once out of a magazine-ful. Sometimes, I hit it every time. It ISN'T 100% reliable due to light strikes. If I use CCI i rarely/never get might strikes, though. This is not an uncommon situation with them. Also, though mine shoots POA/POI, some don't.

The few I see for sale are pretty pricy anymore. I wish I'd bought one back when they were cheap and still manufactured. I have a couple of 21As, however.

I believe Beretta is once again making these.

Very reliable with the ammo it likes (including Remington target or eley club). Accuracy is of course also about the shooter. In my hands, it is almost as accurate as the S&W model 17 4" I had, single handed at 25 yards, but it does require more efforts.

Nice gun. And what do you know about the knife? Looks like a Sardinian resolza.

The knife is a model made by Tuscany's knife manufacturer, Saladini. You may check their website.
