Who likes Berettas?

[sigp220.45]

I do.

Here are a couple recent ones - a plain ol' 92FS and a .380 70s:





I've had these a little while - 1934s from WWII and the 60s:





I had a neat little 70 in .32 ACP but forum pal Erich traded me out of it.

I trace my fascination back to my childhood exposure to this:



Anyone else a fan?

 

[JustAnotherGunGuy]

I have a 92FS, I think everyone should, and two 8040 Cougars.
All of them are nice shooters, can't really ask for much more.

Good looking pics!

 

[cougar14]

I have an 84F, great little .380.

 

[Hapworth]

I love their shotguns...

 

[Virgil]

I don't currently own any Berettas but I have owned several over the years. They are great guns. Never had any problems with any of them.

I have had one for three yrs, never shot it, but it looks good in the safe, so I would have to say I like them.

 

[Collo Rosso]

I've had quite few but now down to one, a 92FS "cajun". Made mid 90's they had a stainless (Inox) slide and barrel but burniton black. At some point the one I have had the barrel replaced with a elite length one (4.7"). 92's are great shooters if you get along with the grip size. I had a PX-4 compact at one time and think the whole PX-4 line is very underrated.

 

[Shooting Padre]

I had a 92FS. Sold it to get a M&P9. Wish I had it back, with the M&P9. Great firearms.

 

[NOLASHOOTER]

I wouldn't mind picking up a Nano.

 

[Erich]

I'm enjoying that little 70 7.65 you hooked me up with, amigo.

 

[zzzippper]

Just a 70S and a Cougar.

 

[rwsmith]

I like Berettas

I like Berettas except for the price.


BTW Aren't Berettas the girls that pour coffee at Starbucks??

 

[budrock56]

I love my 92fs and my Silver Pigeon V 20 ga.

 

[rags]

92FS and a 84F Cheetah.

The last time I had the 92 out...

 

[Snapping Twig]

I have a 21A. With quality ammo I haven't had a single issue.

Accurate too!

Stone axe really, no extractor, blow-back action, tip up barrel.

 

[bigchuck83]

I'll admit i like the M9a1 i have very much. Accurate, reliable, soft shooting. plan on eventually finding a nice 92G for use as a carry gun.

 

[Brian41]

I have a couple O/Us and a stainless Tomcat I pocket carry.

 

[iouri]

My only Beretta so far

I have a 92FS. I got it only as an example of a DA/SA for my pistol class. While they are super reliable, they are not the best choice for self defense. Having two different trigger pulls is not the best for consistency. If it is going to be carried, it must have the hammer down. This means the first pull will be about 12lbs and subsequent pulls about half that. This makes learning the trigger more difficult. Can it be shot well? Absolutely, I know a few guys that do it. It's just not the best, especially for new shooters for self defense.

Now, if you want to talk about shotguns, then I like Beretta very much. I believe the 303 is one of the best semi-autos ever made. And, who doesn't like this:

 

[msinc]

I have owned a 92FS but sold it. Too big for a 9mm but it sure did shoot good and never jammed, not once. I currently own an 84FS that I love but again big for a 380. Cost too much to sell, they are hard to get and I would take a bath selling it. Also have a 687 Silver Pigeon 12ga. and a 687EELL Diamond Grade combo 20/28. Had a 303 I wish I never sold...bought it right and it was the softest shotgun. it was a 12ga and wifey shot it easy.

 

[BlackAgnes]

I like 'em!

 

[ColbyBruce]

The only one I own right now, an Italian 92FS Inox...but Ihave owned many others.

92F, 84BB, 70 New Puma .32 a.c.p.

92FS.

Another .32 a.c.p.

Beretta Jaguar .22 L.R.

My late brother's Beretta 950 .25 a.c.p., holding onto this for my nephew.

Minx .22 Short I played with for a while.

My second 92FS.

Beretta 950BS .22 Short. This was filthy when I got it, and would go full auto on occasion.

Good guns

Carried one for several years - not necessarily my favorite, but they are reliable and I'm very comfortable carrying one nowadays if I want.

My meager bunch of Berettas is down in the safe, waiting for warmer weather. It consists of 1-92F, 2-92Gs, and 2-92SB compacts. The fun thing about the 92F are the goodies I've acquired to go with it - over the years, I've picked up a 98F slide and barrel in 9x21mm, and a 98F barrel and spring for 7.65x21mm, aka .30 Luger, Never meant to acquire all these goodies, but since they all can use the same magazines, it gives me options. (I can rationalize anything.........)

I'll try to get pics up tomorrow.

 

[mountaineer40]

I pick up my 92FS in two weeks or so. I'm really excited about getting this gun. It's going to be a good range gun. It's going to sit in the safe right beside my M&P 9. My first three handguns were Smith and Wesson and I'm starting to branch out into other manufacturers.

 

[sipowicz]

I like them but I really don't miss my 92f duty gun after trading it in for my M&P.

I did get to shoot the 70 last week at the range. An elderly gentleman was admiring my 19 and I let him shoot it. Then he gave me a little history behind his model 70 and let me try it. Nicest shooting 22 auto I've ever fired.

Had a few 92's in different configs, FS, Vertec, Inox, and several clones. Down to one Beretta these days, a 92A1. More dependable than a bad meal at McDonalds. Thinking another Inox may be in my future if the right one comes along for the right price. I simply have too many Beretta magazines for just one pistol.

 

[sipowicz]

Found this one in my safe....it was so small I forgot it was there....

 

[policerevolvercollector]

I'm enjoying that little 70 7.65 you hooked me up with, amigo.

You have excellent taste in cigars. I'll loan you a cutter. You don't have to use that knife. (Nice pistol,too.)
