Lets see your Beretta's!

This is a Browning BDA .380 built under licence by Beretta, It even says made by Beretta on the slide. I love this gun. Modern, double stack, and genuine Beretta 10 rd. mags. are like $20

I've had four or five 92 variants over the years but have always kept this one - a US made 92FS with the old style straight dust cover and wood grips which took me forever to find. Every couple months I decide I'm going to put it up on the EE but always chicken out at the last minute because it's so cool...

xldbldbl, Nice beretta's. Did you get your M9A3 from Al Flaherty's? As for target shooting, witch one is your favorite?

Thanks. They all have their spot, the elite 1a gets shot the most as it is my ipsc production gun and the 90-two is my back up and practice gun but probably gets shot the least and only due to it having a thicker grip even with the "thin grip" installed as compared to the other 3 all having the true vertec frame. The 96 get its fair share of use with both the factory 40 barrel and the 357 sig barrel but I have to be honest the 357 sig round itself can be a little b!tch to reload but once you get it perfected it is a pretty damm fun caliber to shoot especially with the ported barrel and red dot. BTW I forgot to mention that I replaced the hammer release lever with another that I had machined so that the safety can be engaged without decocking so it can be safely cocked and locked and shot as a single action.

The M9A3 did come from AL's and I just received it late last week and only got it to the range last night. The trigger is very smooth and crisp even compared to my elite 1a that has a 13lb hammer spring and several thousand trigger pulls under its belt. Sights were off a bit to the left and as per normal with me and Beretta's it shot a bit low but otherwise it grouped very well. A bit to early to tell yet but with some new springs installed and an adjustable rear / FO front sight set it may replace my elite 1A as my primary for IPSC.

Awesome! I had many different Beretta pistols in the last 10 years and because of my medium size hands the Vertec grip is the way to go if I wanna stay with that brand. So I kept my "Dash" with slim grip and my Stainless Vertec. The M9A3 will be my next purchase based on the Vertec grip and all the pros that we can read on the internet.

Thanks
