Nice.

You're ate up with Berettas like I am with Glocks.

I keep wanting to get an M9, but my little cousin has one that I shoot a few times a year. Scratches the itch.

Well, I love the straight dust cover of the M9 - but the M9 doesn't have thats light rear indentation on the backstrap that the 92FS has. I have small hands. While most do not notice the difference - it does make a difference to me. That's why I haven't gotten a plain M9 yet.

Nice collection!
What's the difference between the m9a1 & the 92a1?

M9A1 has a built in front sight like a 92FS. In fact, the M9A1 HAS a 92FS slide on the M9A1. There is frame checkering, and a slight bevel to the magwell.

The 92A1 has a dovetailed front sight, captured guiderod, a recoil buffer, a slightly beefier slide and a curved trigger guard

Damn Shipwreck, you're going to cost me money, you know that?

I've been seriously considering a 92A1, since my chances of ever getting a reasonable deal on a 92G-SD are about slim to none.

Thanks for the info! I'd take a M9A1 lower with a 92A1 upper. :D

That won't work. The 90-Two and 92a1 have slightly different slide designs. The slides for them won't go on an older style frame. You CAN put a regular 92 slide on the new frames, however. But, then there will be a slight gap where you can see the recoil spring, as the frame dust covers are slightly different too.

Hell, I wish I had bought one of those years ago, too

Good luck finding one now.
