What do you think of Berettas?
A friend has one he carries on duty (security guard) it's neat, shoots well, but is heavy after a couple hours on the belt
But really fun at the range
they're nice, but not manlet hand friendly.
the slide safety has caused a good share of NDs and school shootings

>tfw you have manlet hands
>>30197309
No.
>>30197243
I just don't like them.
Absolutely no justification for the disdain.
>>30197243
First handgun I ever bought once I turned 21. Got it because "Lethal Weapon" was one of the movies I watched on repeat throughout childhood.
Still have it and still love it. I don't carry it because it's big and heavy for what it is, but it's a great shooting pistol.
>>30197243
I like them. I have smaller hands, and the A1's grip works very well for me.
I don't really mind the slide safety, but then I don't expect that every gun have a 1911 or Glock manual of arms.
Had mine discharge into my mattress when I racked the slide
>>30197243
Decent guns. My 92FS cycles any ammo I have, even with a suppressor (my Glock hates steel cases with a can). Using quality mags helps.
Some have issues with the slide safety, but I don't.
I think you should check the archive since I'm pretty sure there are only ever 10 people in Beretta threads yet we have one every few days
>>30198238
Is that a Centurion?
>>30197309
summerfags get out reeee
needs more 10mm
A buddy of mine has recently started a meager collection of Beretta pistols. He has a few more older models, mostly various Cheetahs and other small models. He used to have a 96, but he didn't shoot worth a shit with it and sold it. His Target 87 in the pic is really fucking sweet.
>>30198814
>One of these things is not like the others
>>30197287
I'm turbo manlet and love my full size Berettas
people who can't properly hold one are underfed or commies or something
I have a 92fs and a Taurus pt99 and while the Beretta looks nicer, the Taurus is more reliable and I like shooting it a bit more.
>>30197243
shot one at fort benning a while ago
I liked it, but i could very much feel it operating
not sure if it was the one I rented being not well lubed (had a problem with this at various ranges) but I could feel it cycle every single time. And by this I mean, I felt it slide along and chamber the round, and it felt...slow...I'm really not sure how to describe it.
Still like it though. I've got a weakspot for hammer fired, and I love the decocker on it. Didn't get a chance to disassemble it though
>>30197243
I think you should Read The Manual Before Use
>>30197287
get the compact?
Big, heavy ass pistol just for >lolonly9mm, like the Sig P226 or a Glock 17
I'd rather have a big pistol in a big caliber, or a small pistol in 9mm
if this was a standard model I'd buy and carry the hell out of it.
as they are, I'm not a fan
>>30197243
Is it Groundhog Day or something?
>>30199439
That's just what we happened to bring out to the range that day... Had a Walther P1 (you can just see the trigger/ grip in that pic) and a Les Baer Custom Carry out there too
>>30198348
You should check out Allegheny Gun Works. Guy does fantastic work on Berettas. That one started life as a Centurion D. Usually starts out with a vanilla D or vertec D slide and goes from there. He can use the Beretta steel/combat safety levers, 92 levers, or the ones he makes in house single sided or ambi
>>30198777
There is but a single Brigadier in 10mm. Guy that built it said it would be easy for the factory to do but neither Beretta nor Taurus want to take him up on it.
Shame considering he has thousands of rounds of full power 10mm through it
I love mine, wish I was home from work to take some overdue pictures.
Worked at their Maryland factory for awhile,
Tolerances are loose, parts are graded as good enough, don't want to ever own one personally after that
I have a 92FS and a NEOS, both have been solid guns. The trigger return spring broke shortly after I got the 92 but it was a police trade in and it's a high mortality part so I wasn't surprised.
Can't decide if I like the 92 or my Jericho more.
>>30200913
i have a 92 sb, neo and jericho as well. i really like the jericho over the 92. but i guess im more of a cz75 style gun guy anyway
My favorite full sized 9mm. Really good reliable pistol. Although difficult to conceal carry I've seen it done.
Most milfags hate it because when they're issued one it's beat the fuck up and functions improperly.
large for a 9mm handgun but they shoot well
>>30200927
>Most milfags hate it because when they're issued one it's beat the fuck up and they function improperly
ftfy
20 years stronk on FBI issue 92FS and it's still kicking. Only one malfunction. Failure to lock back on empty while shooting Tula steel cased.
>>30200943
Thanks.
That's impressive life for a Beretta. Keep in mind a lot of people mistreat their weapons because "lol not mine."
>>30200970
I should clarify, this was an FBI gun that was released in the 90s and I bought it as a non-LEO for private use.
>>30197243
I think im getting a PX4 soon. Cant decide between that or a glock
>i may get the px4 first just to avoid only having a meme gun.
>>30200844
And you yourself said they we're in a transitional period
>>30201297
It's a fine gun, but if you want to conceal carry a G19 may be the better choice.
I like my full size PX4, though. Comfortable, reliable, and I can shoot the ass off a fly with it.
>>30200925
Different anon but I've had the opposite experience I love my 92 but I have never shot a 75 or clone that I liked, the main issues I had was a bad trigger on the 75 and the slide was hard to keep a grip on when loading it.
>>30197243
I got a M92SF just because of MGS2
gotta sneak that shit with muh tranq gun
I have an 84FS.
I like it.
>>30202408
Im not going for ccw im getting it for an armed security job
>>30197243
I own 2.
I like them both.
I want more.
>>30197287
Stop being a manlet, problem solved.
>>30197309
It literally doesn't happen like that.
It sometimes will go safe if you suck and don't train.
>>30197806
what made you like that and not im too black for this shit danny glovers model 19?
>>30199485
>I felt it slide along and chamber the round, and it felt...slow
Even well lubed it always feels like this except "smoother" if that one was under-lubed. I think it is a combination of the weight/low power round/low bore axis sort of cancels out the other movements that you get caught up on more in other guns and gives you space to notice the action. It is a good gun to hand to new shooters (for their first not .22 handgun) just because of this actually.
Shooting +p results in a similar sense of feeling all the action, just in fast motion.
>>30197287
Barely 5' girls can shoot the 92, git good.
>>30197243
Cheetah give you the best balance of size and capacity for a .380. When I carry mine I have 26 rounds of ammo in two mags and a frame mounted safety and SA trigger pull. the PX4 is too heavy wide and has too many protuberance for IWB. It is also 5 ounces heavier then Glock for the same capacity and most of them are manufactured with a slide mounted safety. Having said that the PX4 is a smooth firing reliable pistol. my personal experience with m9, model 92 has been poor.
>>30197243
most gun free zone signs use the 92 as the silhouette for there signs. Fortunately i usually carry a glock
>>30197243
Great 60s and 70s guns!!!
Then, in the 80s, Mr. Gaston had big surprise for the handgun world.

As for "newer things are always better", my rifle was designed in 1894 and it's still a great gun.

It's called the Centennial and still listed as a model on their site. Git gud fags.

what is wrong with you ?
>>30205092
with kosher bullets
>>30204866
Too bad they go for $3,000.
Do they make any other models with a frame mounted safety?
>>30205142
I ... I .... I don't have any Italian food for my 92SB... :(
>>30197243
I love mine. No regrets.
>>30205233
Poor 92 has no pasta.
>>30201449
this is true, but still
>>30197243
I am pretty happy with mine, they sure know how to make shotguns.
Idk about any pistols
>>30205353
And you are acting like your anecdotal evidence affects 1 Italian imported guns and 2 guns made after you left.
Also have you seen the condition of some cz75s every time they let the tooling go to shit.
>>30205233
i was going to take a pic of my 92sb with some fiocci or tul but apparently i shot all of it.
You ever completely dismantled one?
Why the FUCK do Italians like springs so much?
>>30204288
yes, 100% I agree with the new shooter part. It allows them to get a feel for how handguns operate and it happens slow enough for the brain to process it so you can understand whats going on instead of a bang, wrist pops up, everythings over.
Good gun in general, and I'd own one if they were cheaper
I have an Italian 92FS and love it.
"D" spring just came in the mail yesterday for it.
>>30205408
they just werk
>>30202408
So does the twisty-doo compared to the rocky-doo make any noticable difference between something like say, a Glock 17?
>>30205904
>In regards to recoil I mean
>>30205904
I think so. The barrel seems to have less tendency to flip.
>>30197309
kek. underrated post.
>>30197243
they aight
>>30205946
Cool.
I'm going to fingerfuck both of them tomorrow and see which one feels best.
Heard nothing but great things about both of them, but the PX4 may have me sold because I like me sum of dat DA/SA. I want to get Glock before Gasbston passes away and some shitfuck starts cutting costs and making them more expensive/stocks crash or some shit that usually happens with that.
>>30206009
Be sure to dryfire each. Glocks aren't famous for their triggers, but the mushy take up is easily my least favorite part of my PX4
>>30197243
Love them. I love 1911s more, but some day I will get a 92 as a pure range toy. I would probably carry one if I were a security guard or mafia hitman, but its just too bulky for me to ever cc.
I like mine
>>30204288
>>30205431
>TFW inadvertently bought great first handgun as my first handgun
>>30202408
I've occasionally "concealed" carried my full-size PX4 45 ACP. I'm thinking about picking up the compact or sub-compact to actually CC. I'm usually carrying the Beretta Pico 380 ACP. Something 9mm would be nice but I don't care for the Nano. The subcompact feels pretty decent though.
>>30204816
If a frame mounted safety is what you desire, the Taurus PT92 is not at all bad, get some MecGar 17rd mags and you've almost got Beretta tier quality.
>>30206057
What's it like working for the Army weapons contracting?
>>30197243
They make breddy gud mouseguns
Good enough for Jewish sky police
>>30197243
It puts all the holes in a sweater
It's a money getter
Mother fuckers don't have better.
When I was 21 and jn the Army, I heard all kinds of negative stuff about them. Gotndeployed, got issued one for guarding Afghans, loved it. Came home and bought one.
Ended up selling it years ago because of severe financial difficulties, but now that I've got money I've debated getting another one. We'll see.
