Cool to see these back in stock!
I hope these are pretty! I would have done a $20 hand pick option, but that wasn't an option on these. Didn't need another pistol, but AIM Surplus and Beretta both have a habit of sucking me back in! |

Yep, would have done the hand pick option as well. The 85 is rounding out all the 81s and 84s from AIM a year or two ago. Now if I could just get a threaded barrel for any of them… that would be a great thing for AIM to crank out a run of.

I grabbed one as well, I missed out on the other Berettas. Where can we get more mags ?
— ETA mags can be found on eBay and RTG Parts under Beretta 85 |

Picked mine up yesterday, cleaned it up and ready to shoot now. Here are a few photos. Sharp edges have loss of bluing but that’s to be expected. There was some loss of bluing inside and on the frame rail I assume from slide friction.
I had a couple photos of the slide but those were too large to include. Nothing too surprising with them. No rust, no big scratches, no dents, worth $400 to me.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

 Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileLooks good. Very pleased! Grime in slide grooves is not rust... I need to wipe that better. Grip screws may be the worst of it, but not too bad. (any leads on replacement sources? Edit - never mind, many source incl. MidwayUSA)) Anyone know how to estimate date of manufacture? (just curious) Interesting that the importer of the surplus pistols appears (engraved post-manufacture in right side of slide) to be Beretta USA. Maybe someone traded up to new Berettas directly with the US Distributor. Ordered a couple spare mags: https://www.classicfirearms.com/beretta-jm85f-85-85f-85fs-86-380/ Out of Stock now |

Picked mine up Friday afternoon. I have to say, I am very pleased with this pistol. Very minimal cleaning needed. Subtle and tasteful import marking courtesy of Beretta. An absolute winner in my opinion. Thank you Aim Surplus.

It looks like the X-Grades just listed recently. Ordered one of these too. My previous one will be a safe queen.

Off topic but I just bought a police trade in Sig P320 from AimSurplus this weekend, it shipped Monday and I have it in my hand as of this morning. Great company, fast shipping, pistol is just as described with serial number matching OEM hard case.
I highly recommend Aim Surplus. **Edit** It was at my FFL yesterday but I was busy all day. |
