mustang69 505 Posted November 9, 2018 I picked one up about 6 months ago from SouthernOhioGuns with a little help from my FFL. It's in nice shape and came with a second mag. Be aware the mag release is on the grip heel so not all later mags may fit. I shot it once at the range, it felt just like an old stock Beretta but with lousy sights. For the money it's a decent buy IMO. A bit of honest wear on the slide and frame but functions 100%. I grabbed it without really researching the model, with the intention of mounting a RDS on it with a dovetail mounting plate. Come to find out the early model have a different dovetail that won't work for what I wanted. For the money it's not worth selling but I probably won't shoot it either. I'd consider selling it but I'm in NH and it's probably not worth the shipping cost and transfer fee to get it to you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted November 10, 2018 I almost bought one myself (I still might, I have a second permit) but I wanted a different model. Factory Beretta OEM magazines are all cut for the bottom magazine release, so stick with them. They are shooters and there are tons of them out there. Buy one and be happy. @mustang69, pics! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myhatinthering 462 Posted November 21, 2018 we'll see, not sure how much nicer you can get when the descriptions says excellent to good. That pretty much is the 'wanted' spectrum no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myhatinthering 462 Posted December 22, 2018 ok so who has them and what was the condition? I'm picking mine up tomorrow or Monday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myhatinthering 462 Posted December 29, 2018 picked up my 92s and couldn't be happier. Stripped it and cleaned it and at first thought it might be pretty dirty but the barrel was clean, the rest of the handgun was clean. The only wear seems to be cosmetic from holster use but upon careful inspection, the pin, throat and barrel are outstanding. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myhatinthering 462 Posted December 29, 2018 Just now, Ray Ray said: Duracoat it in matte white. Win lol I'll get some more pics but to be honest, the condition was rated VG and I agree. Not bad at all but the mag release seems odd not being used to the bottom style. Other than the sights and mag release, color me real pleased. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beretta OEM magazines all have the heal release cut, so you are good to go on that front. As far as the sights, Ummmm, good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of taping around the sights and using some white paint/wax. sights are very small, very low 23 minutes ago, USRifle30Cal said: I don't mind lower grip or heel release .. maybe it is just me. I don't mind it either, takes getting used to for sure and not optimal but it's not the end of the world either. The no flared magwell is more of a pain to be honest. It's a tight fit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a tight fit Easy fix with a needle file - the 70S 9mm Kurz I have had the same issue - a little judicious work to flare the magwell just a tad and it is the difference between night and day - not markedly different that chamfering the cylinder on a revolver using speed loaders. Did this to both the 70S and a S&W 36 - amazing how the mags and rounds find their way home easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For being this old and surplus, it's in really good condition and the fit and apparent function is stellar. It's smoother than my new sig 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
