67gtonut 847 Posted May 19, 2009 Just a quick question.... I just bought a Beretta 92FS a few weeks ago, doing a Face-to-Face transfer from a fellow NJ resident. I am having a little buyers remorse, and I am thinking of selling it.... Should I wait a certain amount of time to keep from throwing up any "red flags" to the state? Might put another 100 rounds thru it, just to make sure..... Thanks Troy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted May 19, 2009 I believe the law is no more than 5 private party sales in a year without a FFL. As long as you are selling it legally to another person with a pistol permit there is no problem. I would wait a few weeks unless you really need the cash. Remorse will dissapate.

If I decide to sell, I will PM ya 1st...... Thanks Troy It takes a while to get it on target.. no idea why but it does. I can shoot better with other guns that I try from other members straight out of the box, then I do my 92 at times.. Strange as hell!! Seems each hundred rounds I get better and better grouping, so hopefully soon things start to click. I just put hogue wrap around rubber grips on it, and it really feels secure in my hand now. Next range visit I will see if that helps any. What did make an improvement was changing out the main spring for the D model spring. The only thing left that I want to try is polishing the trigger to make it a little smoother. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67gtonut 847 Posted May 19, 2009 Not to butt in. But, what do you dislike about your 92FS? Not so much dislike........... but just a little buyers remorse. Will shoot it a little more this Sunday...... then make the decision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had buyers remorse before with my beretta 9000s I ended up keeping it. I'm not sure why, I just did. Good luck and keep us posted! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted May 19, 2009 Humn, I dont know if there is a limit to keep self off of the radar. But I loved my 92fs. Great firearm. I am sure you will be able to recoup what you put into it, esp if you purchased it second hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackfox 1 Posted May 19, 2009 I sold a few guns in Jersey, the buyer needs NJ firearms ID card and pistol purchase permit which you must fill and send the copies to the police Dept. that issue the permit, other to the State police, keep one copy and other for the buyer. For long guns, only fill the form that you get from any dealer and the NJFID. I own a Berreta 96 is OK, give it a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

67gtonut 847 Posted May 23, 2009 Just a quick question to those that have used Gunbroker.com Does it have to be a FFL to FFL transfer? or Do I just have to ship it to a FFL for the buyer to pick it up, for it to be legal..... Hard to find the answer on Gunbroker...... Thanks Troy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Monkey 51 Posted May 23, 2009 My understanding is FFL is only needed on the receiving side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted May 23, 2009 Check with one of our FFL sponsors. I believe you can ship it to a FFL as long as they take guns from non FFL's. Some require FFL to FFL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some require FFL to FFL From what I have read you are right, it's usually up to the individual FFL if they accept from individuals or another FFL Only.

What did make an improvement was changing out the main spring for the D model spring. The only thing left that I want to try is polishing the trigger to make it a little smoother. Ok, I was EXACTLY where you are. I have an XD9 and put 1000 rounds through that and that gun was accurate pretty much out of the gate. Now the 92 FS was another story. I bought it used for $350 with 3-mags...I was so excited as this is the gun I always wanted. Went to the range and put a few hundred rounds and even though I was "off my mark" my groups were not tight at all. Anyway, I thought I'd give it some time. Several hundred rounds later and I still was not happy. I actually got to the point where I thought the barrel or something was warped. So I dry fired the "heck" out of it and then dry fired my XD9 and noticed something VERY interesting....the sights! They are smaller than the XD9 and quite a bit farther apart....I really focused on the front sight with both eyes opened then closed one eye....wow! The front site was slightly left and low every time. I never noticed it until I compared it to my XD9's larger sights. Went to the range and my dad was like "wow, what the heck happened?" I was DEAD on accurate 90% or more. As I approached 100 rounds I started to get a little sloppy, but it was like night and day. Don't give up, it's a great gun but takes a bit more concentration and time to be accurate with it. I love the solid feel, ease to clean and now the accuracy. It took some time, but it's now the gun I always expected it to be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took some time, but it's now the gun I always expected it to be! FRUSTRATING is an understatement.. I shoot my 92 so/so. Sometimes ok, sometimes not so good. What makes me nuts is I can pick up (like I did tonight) someone else's pistol which I never shot (granted it was a 1911 which is an unfair comparison), put 5 rounds down range and get much more accurate groupings then I could with my 92. I have at least 400 rounds through mine and I can't seem to come up with a common reason why my groupings are either good or bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The single will almost always have a better break. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgz13 0 Posted May 27, 2009 If you sell a pistol does that mean you get to buy another pistol, or do you then have to apply for another permit? Does that make any sense? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted May 27, 2009 You need another permit. There is no trade off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikelets456 78 Posted May 27, 2009 You can't compare a sigle action to double action trigger. The single will almost always have a better break. I don't know about that, I shoot my Dad's 686 much better than my 92FS and XD9. However, there is definitely a difference in trigger pull. Also, I use the 92FS in SA mode and the trigger feel is almost identical to the XD9. The sights are a lot farther apart and smaller which makes it (in my findings) "trickier" to aim and be accurate.....those sites are very hard to line up.

tbtrout 141 Posted May 27, 2009 Ok, my 686 is tuned to a point where the single action is almost the same as my 1911, but a revolver trigger and an autoloader trigger are two completly different assemblies. Most modern DA/SA autoloader triggers have more take up than a SAO trigger. My Sig 220 in single is no where near my Kimber. I have shot many 92's and they all had a good deal of slop in them. The XD is a striker fired pistol that can be tuned into an excellent trigger, but as stock is sloppy as hell. But you notice I wrote will almost always be a better break. There are always exceptions.

tbtrout 141 Posted May 27, 2009 Other sites with free state members do not need Govt permisssion to buy a pistol. They buy and sell pistols the way we do rifles and shotguns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikelets456 78 Posted May 27, 2009 Other sites with free state members do not need Govt permisssion to buy a pistol. They buy and sell pistols the way we do rifles and shotguns. I often wondered and I think I know the answer to this, but maybe you can clarify two questions. 1) If I were to purchase a rifle/shotgun in NC (A lot cheaper), how do I work that with NJ If I PLAN to keep it in my house ONLY? 2) IF I go into PA and buy handgun ammo and bring back to NJ, is that ok? I heard only dealers/resellers can not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
