Since there seems to be a lack of a Beretta picture thread I thought I would start one.
Post those SEXY pistols! Don't ask where mine is. I don't have one. |

Just got my first Beretta this past Tuesday. Did a 14hr, 660mi day to drive round-trip from DFW to San Antonio and back to trade a G19 for it. No A/C, no cruise control, no regrets. Only got to put 100rnds through it so far, but it's easily the smoothest shooting gun I've ever fired.
When I picked it up: How she sits now: I had the Wicked Grips ordered less than 2 hours after picking it up, while sitting in a cigar lounge waiting for rush hour traffic to go away. They really are wonderful, about the same thickness as stock, extremely well fitting both on the gun and in my hands. They're smooth, but not slick, and extremely comfortable without feeling like the gun will come out of your hands. Looking forward to getting more rounds downrange, and changing out/cleaning up the trigger pull a fair bit. Some more pictures here. |

All I am waiting on is my set of Lok grips and my KT Mech holster and my 92 Vertec will be complete. Lots of Wilson and Beretta shop upgrades are in this pistol. |

Let me see if I can grab some pictures...
The front site is still there, however there are two holes that have been milled through it and the new site has been pinned on top of it. I thought that was an interesting solution, edit survive thousands of rounds. The compensator is an alloy compensator, and all of the white metal you see is actually tungsten. This was done to add weight week to the pistol, And remove anything that was plastic. The fun part is that the barrel is not some crazy match barrel, however with the compensator big groups like a match barrel. This project was started by a friend of mine who is a gunsmith. He was looking for a way not to have to put a rail system in the slide. It dawned on him that if he could take the barrel and it's lock up , and change the dynamics... he might be able to get a decent match pistol out of it. The thing is unbelievably accurate. We also found he really didn't need match barrels. List of things that was done: - bushing area on the slide is now round; slide milled to a circular diameter from oval - front sight milled and pinned with custom front sight - all parts major parts replaced with tungsten parts (hammer cap, etc.) for added weight - compensator added - recoil spring lightened This is an IPSC style pistol, so speed was key, and it fires fast and accurately without issue. |

The M9A1 has been out of stock everywhere. This one was used but it looks new. Made in. 2012. I got a great deal on it. I am very happy.

I didn't even realize what I had gotten until the day after when I started looking into it and found out it was somewhat rare, especially in the two tone.
