I bought it during the Father’s Day sale at PSA - $279.99 and just picked it up at my local FFL today. This gun is in amazing condition with perfect bluing and not a single scratch. Made in 1985, it was re-arsenaled in 2025 and processed through Switzerland for importation. It was an Italian Police trade-in, but based on it’s condition, I don’t think it was ever issued.

Good score OP!,
7.65 MM or 9 MM Corto?. I've always liked the looks of that series of Beretta pistols. Large by today's standards, but still a very dependable CCW defense handgun.

9mm Corto. 7.65 would have been cool too but I don't have any guns in that caliber and I didn't want to add a 23rd caliber to manage.

ETA: Palmetto State Armory has them on sale again today for $279.99!

@1iviper how do you like your compact? I bought a compact due to my hands being small. I like the way it feels but haven’t shot it yet.

i haven't shot mine yet either but the echelon's fit my hands well also and are good natural pointer's for me.  the full size is a great shooter so i don't expect the compact to be much different.  what's nice about the echelon is you can get a grip module that's a little thinner or thicker per your liking

in all honesty i bought that one more for the aimpoint coa

a few months back i picked up the full size echelon and a gen 6 glock 19.  whichever one i liked shooting better i was going to get the coa model , echelon compact coa or a gen 6 g17 coa.  i liked the echelon better so i picked up the compact with the coa

Just got done building this. I got the PSA Micro Dagger complete frame during the July 4th sale for $49. Then last week I won a complete G43 slide with matching barrel and full lower parts on GunBroker for $212. The Glock parts were listed as repair parts but appear new - there isn't even any wear on the top of the barrel where it rubs on the slide. Oh, and it has night sights. Not a bad deal, IMO. Just need some mags now.

Got this LCR .22 LR for edc at work.   20 rounds of Punch ammo on strips in that pouch and 8 rounds of Punch in the revolver.  Just turned 60, things are slowing down as you can tell by the cpap and the hearing aids and I liked the idea of a simple get off me gun.   It shoots great.  Expensive booger though.

Me?  Hmm.  Oh, has to be the LEO trade in M&P 1.0 .45 acp.  1.0 model.  Now has all 2.0 internals in the frame (except the slide stop), a 2.0 10 degree striker, a set of M&P suppressor sights, been milled for a dot optic, had a Tyrant CNC trigger installed, thumb safeties installed and my Silencer Co. threaded barrel is supposed to be delivered tomorrow.  Oh, slide refinished (melonite).  Looks like another range trip on Tuesday morning.  

Getting ready for those "silencer" days I hope will be coming over the next few months.

I, too, have shamed my house by gullibly purchasing a discounted SCT frame and plopping an AIM top end and Szechuan Death Dot on it.  Aside from spending an hour filing away the multiple hot spots on the frame, it has so far delivered a simulacrum of performance.

Let us know how it shoots. I assembled a G17 clone from a complete SCT frame and AIM complete top half, it was a jam O matic until I replaced everything except for the slide and frame with Glock OEM parts.

Despite its lowly heritage, it shoots pretty goddamn well.  No stoppages yet (150ish rnds so far) and surprisingly accurate.  Now that the dot is on it, I’ll take it out to 25 and see how it does.

Still.  It may be gay BUT it is a .327 which makes it at least a bit Butch and susceptible to "conversion therapy".

This was my haul today:

Six shot.

Of all my pistols the one I can shoot fastest with the most accuracy is a SCT frame with a $200 slide kit. I would never buy or recommend the kit since it’s likely an outlier that this thing is an absolute laser.

I really like the SCT G19 size frames. IMO the grip is perfect. It points right, has just enough rough texture that you can grip it.
