http://www.dpmsystems.com/en/products/ This is the company that doesnt use buffer pads but they incorporate 3 springs so its kind of similar to high performance racing shocks. here's a cross section view http://www.theshootersbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=167 video NU-e7KV5UIc&feature=related

Can anyone share their experiences using a recoil buffer?

Shane45, I bought the Beretta 92FS and it was manufactured in 1998. This baby was flawless. I shot about 300 rounds with 4 different brands of ammo, shoots accurate and not one jam at all. Your response takes some credit for buying it. Thanks!

camoman1945, Not sure anyone mentioned this, but I too am still deciding on a 9mm under $500 and found this website http://www.best9mm.com/ to help me decide and then try them out at the range. And of course the members here are huge plus for their feedbacks.

I'll be checking out a Beretta 92fs next Tuesday @ Brick Armory. Tony from TJ Sporting Arms is selling it and I've read good feedbacks about him. I bought a used S&W 6906 from Tony.. shortly after purchasing it, i had an extractor issue, called S&W, sent it in, all covered under warranty. I Let Tony know about the problem, just as an fyi, and he offered to pay any costs (shipping/repair) that I had incurred. I only had to pay shipping one way to S&W so i wasn't concerned about that. Tony didn't have to step up and offer to pay anything, but he did.. That goes a long way in my book. I've purchased 4 guns, and did one transfer thru him, never an issue and price was always fair.. good luck! So Tony's a keeper. Great! Well i'm glad things worked out really good with your S&W. I didn't think you'd get that fixed under warranty since you're not the original owner. Is it because of a possible life threatening issue or because that's their way to get a good rep?

Nice!

Well, I dont know how old the gun is and it's priced under $500. I assume brand new there over $670+? I wish they were like cars with Vin# and odometer to get a better idea what quality to expect and how many rounds been fired. Are they stamped when they were manufactured or anything other than the serial # that would tell me? I will be testing it at the range next week. If it doesnt look like it was properly maintained, then yeah i will definitely buy new. Thanks for the tips.

I received my permit and ready to purchase. Since I'm a newbie i dont mind starting off with a used gun. Once i have more knowledge and experience, I'll buy a new one. So I found a used Beretta 92fs for sale but I need some tips on what to lookout for and what questions to ask? Is there such a thing as a knock-off that has the Beretta logo? It's made in USA.

I want to thank all of you for your feedback and I find it very helpful. Next week I'm going to the range to see how the Beretta feels since i already fired the Glock. I most probably will buy both but undecided which to get first. :clap:

Please post your opinion to help me decide which gun to buy. Between the Beretta 92fs and Glock 17, which gun do you like better and why? much appreciated, fermbizz
