Beretta M9a1 eye candy - new purchase

[alec.mc 180]

No real point to the thread other than some eye candy.

 

Beretta m9a1, this is my first firearm, i've spent some time at my desk getting familar with the weapon, reading the manual, practice feild strip.

 

Have yet to fire it, just came in last night. -- The range in old bridge interests me alot since they are open 24/7 ( I work midnights and sleep all day long, so this sounds perfect for me, and only about 25 minutes from my house ) BUT, they only take membership applications on the 2nd sunday of the month ) Maybe i'll make my way down to the bullet hole this weekend.

 

Thanks!

big fan!

Great gun, that's one of the guns I was considering. Get us a range report when you can.

Congrats on your first purchase. Now the addiction has a hold on you, your screwed.

Excellent gun, great choice! Not a fan of the rail but that's just me. Good luck with her!

This is exactly the next gun I want to purchase. I was looking at the same model at Cabelas today.

 

My town is fast processing permits, but the trick is finding a time when there is anyone there to take the paperwork since they went to the county dispatch.

Very nice, looking forward to a range report too

Congrats! She's a beauty! Looks just like the 92A1 that I'm getting (and should have it sometime next week). Only major difference between yours and mine is the trigger guard and the mags.

 

Oh, and don't listen to anyone criticizing the rail... I think the rail looks great! That's the reason why I bought the 92A1 over the 92FS.

Thanks, I heavily considered the 92a1 , but i just could not get over the rounded trigger gaurd, it just didnt look right to me.

I understand... it's totally a personal preference thing. The main driver for me to get the 92A1 over the M9A1 was that the front sights are dovetailed and removeable on the 92A1. If it wasn't for that, I would have gone with the M9A1 to have the beveled mag well. I am neutral on teh rounded trigger guard, so it didn't bother me... in the end it was the ability to change out both front and rear sights, that won me over. Besides the items I mentioned above, the two handguns are identical.

I think that either the 92A1, or the M9A1 are both great looking pistols. The trigger guards aren't terribly different, and I could easily live with either one.

 

I also think the rail looks good.....just make sure you use it!!!

wow, did not notice the rail until it was pointed out. Great looking gun... but 92FS.... classic lines.

Yeh,

 

The M9a1 also comes sans " READ OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE FIRING " printed all over the gun.

I have a 92fs. If I could do it over I would get one with a rail and with a removable front site. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

Yeah, that is the only thing I am not crazy about with the 92A1... Beretta has got to stop doing that... it takes away from the beauty of the gun.

nice looking pistol... as far as the rail goes, it takes a little getting used to. But now you can attach a pistol bayonet on a Beretta M9

Nice piece, gotta love those 92 platform Berettas. Here is some more eye candy. A 92FS and A 96FS Inox.

D, I love those grips! And the stainless Beretta's are beautiful.
