Not too bad really. $500 used when they are running about what$600 or there abouts new?Originally Posted by JBecker 72
Speaking of price, any clue on the price of the 92G-SD? Also, just skimmed the thread, any clue if this going to be a limited run or a regular item for them now? I have been wanting another Beretta to take over general duty one belt and house gun and would like two so would be nice to know if I need to sell someone's kidney now or if I will have time to save up properly.

You know how many slides broke before the GAO/Beretta addressed the issue? Fourteen. Only three of those were in the field, the other 11 were in a lab where they fired pistols until the slide broke, specifically trying to induce the failure. The slide breaking thing is overstated.

I'll sell some 45 ammo and a Glock 19, throw in some cash and buy two of these. Just like I bought two of the 92Gs when they came out a couple of months ago.
I like this better than the frilly Wilson 92.

They "addressed" it by making sure the slide didn't strike you in the putz if/when it broke. They did not keep it from breaking in the first place however. I didn't read the entire report, but if you are stopping the count at 14, I promise there were additional slides that cracked after this report was published.

I think the point is that it's an extremely rare event that is pretty statistically insignificant.

Everything has a service life and everything breaks... I broke a Glock slide and then sheered the lug off of the bottom of a Glock barrel. I still have a bunch of Glocks. I have a Wilson Brigadier Tactical and its a beefy pistol. Can't imagine I'll be able to afford enough 9mm ammo to get that thing to break.

If a large number of people are willing to kill you for saying something, then it probably really needs to be said. .

Can't imagine you'll be able to afford enough 9mm ammo to get a standard 92 slide to break either.

I met with a Beretta rep today. It sounds like they are planning on bringing back the Elite, Brigadier, and obviously the SD.

Limited run. Quantity unknown.
