Hi everyone I am looking for a little advice on a purchase. I want to get a Beretta M9. I see a used one on Gunbroker for a very good price but the firearm does not come with a magazine. Should this raise a red flag?

 

I see mags for this are readily available and not very expensive.

 

It is being sold as is and the seller states it has not been test fired. Any advice would be appreciated.

Great choice. I have a 92FS and love it. Not sure what price you found but here is a BNIB M9 with 2 15rd. mags for $564.77. Not sure what shipping is.

could be that the mag that came with the gun was over the allowable mag size in whatever state it was in.. or that the mag was removed before the original purchaser received the gun (some places pull over the limit mags before they ship to restricted states) and the guy got rid of it since it didnt have any mags...

 

just threories of course.. you could contact the seller and ask why it has no mags

They state in the listing that is how they received it. It's from a shop in CT so it could be a limit issue.

Thanks for the tip but with transfer fees and shipping it would be pretty close to what my local dealer sells it for and in that case I would purchase it there.

$575 + $20 shipping. I bought a PX4 Storm from Tanners. They are great. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

I think I found the one you were looking at. Good price but I have a feeling with a week to go it will get up over $550 + the $30 shipping. This thread makes me want to get some permits and pick up an INOX.

Paul at Arms n Ammo has one with 2 15 round mags

A forum member has one listed under the WTS forum.

Buy it from arms N ammo, great guy take the drive or drop a deposit on line.

I know Rick at OMG Customs has one for sale. Check his vendor forum. He's a great guy and very reasonable.

I saw that one listed on Gunbroker but did not win the bid. I spoke to Rick on the phone prior to bidding and you are correct he's a real nice guy.

+1 for buying from Paul.

 

I ordered a Remington 1911 R1 for a SONG on GunBroker (Paul didn't have his in stock at the time - no one did) and by the time I add price + shipping + transfer fee, it's way more than it would just buying from a LGS. Long story short, the gun has been sitting at my FFL for over a month while I waited for my severely backlogged P2P and then NICS. So much time and hassle; could have just waited for Paul to get his anyways (hindsight is 20/20)

 

I recommend just buying local unless it's some specialty item that no one carries. My $0.02 .
