If you haven't realized yet i'm really big on US military/LEO issued weapons.

 

That's cool, you'll find more information about AR's on this site than you can imagine. Good choice on the 9mm. I had 2 Beretta 92's, and they are well made, excellent handguns.

For what its worth I have an INOX 92fs and love it. (9mm). My one and ONLY gripe is the sights. The front site is machined into the slide. If you want any other type of sight your kinda screwed. There are ways around it of course but it isn't as easy as having someone just pop off the old and pop in something new. If you want night sights you actually gotta get em drilled. Tricons. I don't think you can even get the meprolights for it.

 

Other than that its smooth sailing. I only got it about a month ago, have shot approx 900 rounds thru it and not even one misfire of failure to feed or eject yet. Have used 3 different types of ammo and it has run fine with all of em.

Hooray for the 9!!

He will do the transfer for free and 20 for the NCIS check!

 

 

Its good to have friends

 

I have a 92fs and like it alot. I have heard (take that for whats it worth) that there were problems with the 96. The 96 is basically a 92 modified to except .40. The extra recoil was doing a job on the frames and slides.

 

Just my 2 cents but a .40 is not "snappier" than any other round. This is from my expirience firing from a Sig 229 and 226. Recoil is no different that the 92. When you move to a substantially lighter gun I could see how the recoil might be an issue but for a metal gun I don't see any problems.

Bad news.... Apparently no one can remove the mags from the gun.. I'm confused now.

 

I may get the M9A1.

Maybe it's late and I'm not thinking straight, but, what does that mean?

He's saying they can't sell the gun without mags.

That's silly. Guns are sent to NJ without mags all the time.

Beats me, i was profound to hear they didn't want 3 free mags.

Time to shop elsewhere then!

The thing is, the prices are good. I mean i could get the Inox for the same price i would find the 92A1 on other sites. Hmm... I may do that. M9a1 or Inox seems to be the options now.

 

And the guy sounded like it was the distributor that wouldn't allow them to remove the mags.

I think he's full of it. Talk to some of the other gun shops - especially some of the dealers on the boards here.

Maybe I'm wrong, and hopefully one of the local FFLs can chime in here, but I am under the impression that FFLs can receive guns that are non-compliant (i.e. a gun that comes with 17 round magazines). Then all the FFL has to do is remove the offending magazines and sell the gun to someone in NJ. And if it's a tech savy FFL they can turn around and sell those magazines on Gunbroker or something.

 

I guess it's a moot point. If they won't do it and you can't cancel the order and get your deposit back, then it is what it is.

Actually that's a great idea. I could give my friend the money to order the gun (FFL dealer), he can place the order, then "give" it to me with out mags, as far as doing the favor he can keep the mags and do what he wants with them, although i have a feeling he would just use them since he can.

 

Every one i talk to in state tells me they cant get it.

Have you tried asking Paul (PK90)? He'll block he mags for you if you buy through him.

Ordering the gun tomorrow, My FFL will remove the mags.

So you're going to have a gun with no mags? What mags are you going to use?

Not sure yet, probably blue steel 15rd mags. If i can find the PVD matte mags at a good price i may get those.

I read that the Berretta 96 was just an upgunned 92, and that it will wear out given the lack of effort in designing the gun around the .40SW...

 

Go for the 92... its shoots the round it was designed for.

The 92A1 9mm has been ordered! Chyea Baby! Thanks for the help guys. I'm surprised that all the shops i went to, not one suggested to get the gun with out mags. I got it shipped from Budsgunshop, for $636, if i had ordered it Saturday, it would have been $600 but what ya gonna do, i tried to call them to see if they would extended the discount(which was only for 1 day), but to no avail. Any way, cant wait! pics to come when she arrives and i'll have to come out to some ranges to meet some of you guys on here.

The new 96A1 has an internal recoil buffer, so it's probably now the best 96 you can buy, although i havnt herd any feedback on the pistol yet. Either way it's 9mm for me, i already bought the ammo so i wouldnt change my mind hahah.

Om its time to cry, haha, apparently they can't ship the gun to NJ NO MATTER WHAT! I swear its like :thsmiley_deadhorse:. I changed the order to the M9A1 15rd, no headache anymore i'm done trying to find loopholes in the system.

Did they give you a reason??

Call Alan Gura and sue NJ, they are completely stopping you from being able to purchase this gun with their cap limit. Or don't. Your call.

They said they can't ship Hi-cap magazines to NJ, even tho directly on there website it say's "New Jersey - No Hi-Cap Mags over 15rds without a FFL. " I asked if my FFL ordered it for me would they ship it, they said NO. I said it was ridiculous, FFL dealers can possess hi-cap mags, there is no reason they shoudn't be able to ship it to my FFL dealer. I give up really, i've been trying to get the gun since the beginning of august. I'll pick it up sometime down the road. I actually got a better deal with the M9A1, almost the same gun but with the pvd coated mags which are probably there most expensive, and the gun was 30 bucks cheaper, it doesnt have changeable sights, but it also doesnt have the new rounded trigger which i wasn't a fan of. So i'll think of it as a trade off, same gun with different options.

lol, I'm sure anyone would shed a tear over my misfortune.

Any way, didn't get the gun i wanted, but still got "a" gun i wanted. Any way the shipping waiting game starts

Just got back from my FFL Dealer!! M9A1 15rd mags :icon_e_biggrin:

 

 

 

Nice. have fun with it.

Now there's a gun that's actually big enough to hang something off the rails. I laugh when I see subcompact Glocks with them.

Enjoy!

Nice. Now time for some test firing!
