Thank you for the generous offer. Send me a PM and let me know when you're going to Bullet Hole. I literally live less than 5 minutes away from there.

Looks great fmtek. I want to put a d spring and the skeleton hammer on my 92A1 one of these days. Make sure you let us know how you like it when you get a chance to shoot it. If I stop by Luciano's I need to check them out if they still have them in stock. How does the size compare to your 92's? I love my 92A1 but I've always felt the grip was too big to be comfortable for me.

This. I know plenty of hunters who are all for their hunting rifles and shotguns but freak out over "high powered assault rifles." Their words not mine.

Fox News just reported the shooter had an "M4 type assault rifle and a 10mm Glock handgun." I'm assuming he meant a 9mm Glock but who knows could be 10mm too.

Looks like the shooter just had it out for the parents and the poor kids were targets of opportunity.

This the Beretta forum has some incredibly knowledgeable posters.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Beautiful Beretta fmtek! I heard rumors about the A1's coming out in compact but this is the first I've seen of them. I'd really like to try out the compact... send me a PM if you'd like to meet up at the Bullet Hole sometime, I'd be more than happy to let you try out my 92A1 as well.

Can you post a pic? I never knew the M9A1 was made in compact and/or inox.

Funny I actually was planning to go to Autozone on Saturday to pick up a long list of random things I need. I will instead be spending my money at NAPA, the guys in NAPA know more about cars anyway I don't mind driving one town over. Here is their contact page. https://www.autozone.com/autozone/contactus/customerService.jsp?landingPageCategory=inOurStores&title=customer+service

Also not mentioned the 92A1 has an "internal recoil buffer" that the M9A1 does not have. It's supposed to extend the life of the frame. It was designed for the 96A1 and the .40sw round it fires, but Beretta included it in the 92A1 as well. Most people on the Beretta forums don't believe the recoil buffer does any significant good on the 92A1 since the 9mm doesn't really have the recoil of the .40, but it's something to think about. See picture below... The other differences between the 92A1 and M9A1 that I'm sure of are... 92A1 has removable sights 92A1 has a rounded trigger guard, M9A1 is the tradition 92 style 92A1 has different backstrap checkering M9A1 comes with Beretta's sand resistant magazines (probably a moot point unless you're shooting in the desert) Both are great guns, good luck with your purchase.

If you go to either of the JR stores, they have a house blend cigar called the "real counterfeit Cuban" or something like that. Amazing smoke for the money IMO.

Hey Nino, any update on the range construction?

FYI Beretta is currently running a $50 rebate offer on the Px4 Storm until the end of the year. http://www.berettausa.com/2012rebate-pistols.aspx

Really? I went last week and bought an hour of range time. Exactly 60 minutes later they announced my time was up and even started tapping on the glass as I finished off the last mag that I had already loaded. I don't mind having to leave when my time is up but I think tapping on the glass literally 30 seconds after you announced my time was up was a bit much. When I walked outside I expect to see a line of people waiting and no one at all was waiting for a port.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that. Even if it's the case though I don't mind waiting. I couldn't decide whether I wanted a P226 or a P220.. the P227 seems to solve that issue by essentially blending both. Also, I wouldn't get it when it first came out anyway, I'd rather let them circulate for a while so the factory can correct any errors.

Wow. This may be my next handgun purchase.

Thanks. I am planning on checking this place out soon. I'll probably bring one of my own guns to shoot primarily but I did want to try out one of their rentals as well. I guess one box of highway robbery ammo won't hurt... that much. I understand everybody has to have a markup and pay their bills, but charging DOUBLE what their competitors charge for the same ammo is offensive.

Have the ammo prices improved at all? I see someone posted above they're asking $28 for a box of 9mm, is this accurate? I just got a box of 9mm from Dicks for like $12.

Once I held a 92FS and a 92A1 side by side. The 92A1 felt heavier towards the front of the gun, I suppose the added weight from the rail. Not sure what the stats are on paper but that's what it felt like to me.

Yes. Mine came with 15 round mags from the factory.

I clean after every range trip.
