At the second store I visited, coincidentally, a man had been in that morning and had sold off a Beretta 92 Inox. I looked up the stamp on the right side of the frame, on the trigger guard, and the marking was "BB," which tells me it was manufactured in 1992 if my internet sources are correct. The gun's packaging and manuals also seem to confirm this date. The gun looks to be a total safe queen; I looked it over and took it apart twice and was unable to find anything more than slight at best handling marks. I estimate it to be at about 90-95% condition.
The store wants $450 for it, so I will probably be looking at about $475-500 for it out the door. I'm mostly interested in it because I love the look of the Inox pistols, but dislike the look of the new ones with the black trigger/safety, not to mention this one has the old steel trigger, safety, and guide rod. I'd mostly own this for collection and as a range gun that will be well taken care of. Before I decided to purchase it, though, I thought I might come by here and see if some of the more knowledgeable Beretta owners had any information to share or input?
Basically, is this a good deal to jump on?
