Range Day with the new Beretta

Last thursday I picked up a new Beretta 92fs. Never had a chance to take it out over the weekend but I snuck away this afternoon for a couple hours.
I usually research things a bit more before I buy, but I think this one will turn out alright.
I put through about 200 rounds with no FTF's or FTE's, cycled flawless and smooth each and every time. The slide was not locking back on the first couple mags, so I striped it down gave it a bit more lube after two mags, but the tird still didn't lock back after the last round. I was stumped, until I realized my thumb was riding the release f:P:2: . I felt like an idiot, but adjusted my thumb and it worked flawless every time after.

I am far from a good pistol shooter, still have a lot to learn, so I was happy just to be on the paper even though I started at 15 yrds. After a few rounds it just felt better and better.

The target on the left was my first one at 15yrds the right was my secound.

Next I moved to the 25 yard. Definately need more practice in consistancy but once again, at least on the paper...lol

I gave it a rest between targets and switched to my .45. I usually shoot it ok, but man I was all over the place with it, was lucky to be hitting the back stop, lol. So I went back to the Beretta for another 100 rounds. The only problems are not enough ammo and I feel like I neglected my AR today(doesn't usually happen:) )!

Nice. Does it feel alot smoother after a few hundred rounds? Did the trigger lighten up at all?

I seemed quite smooth from the start, but that is compared to my XD9 lol. I didn't even try DA, but the trigger in SA I would say it was easy to get used to more so than lightening up. I think that was part of my issue with switching to the colt half way through, the trigger and the grip are way different.
 
Love my 92fs, have never felt like I needed to change anything with it.
I changed a few things; recoil spring rod with a metal one, extended mag release, grips, sights (with Novaks). I'm looking for inox skeletonized trigger, once I find one it will be complete :)
 
Thanks guys, I am happy so far. I like idea of a steel guide rod, not sure if it is necessary but prefer steel parts. I would have to try different grips to really know. The thing fits my mits so well as it is, it is a pleasure to shoot(especially for the price point). Can't wait to get out again!
 
Congrats! I just joined the Beretta family today.. purchased a 92A1. Hopefully have it by the weekend :)
Congrats, I hope you like yours as much as I do mine. As mentioned this was kind of a spur of the moment deal for me, I usually research things more before buying so wasn't sure what to expect. You have my curiosity raised though, I'm gonna have to ask google the difference between the 92fs and 92A1 now! Lol
 
92A1 has a rail, recoil buffer, (IIRC) removable front sight, rounded trigger guard, also take down lever pops back into place when you reinstall the slide.

Nicely done. I too joined the Beretta family last weekend. With the Easter break affecting shipping, my Storm won't be here until after this coming weekend. Love to share some target pics with you all.

Sometimes spur of the moment is a good thing! ;)

Al Flaherty's has both the 92FS and 92 A1 at the same price and also one of the cheapest prices out there...

Correct... and that is where I went. Great guys to deal with and lowest price I could find. :)
