I inherited one about a year ago. It desperately needed the reduced hammer spring and WC sights. I’ll also be giving it a G conversion and grips soon. It shoots very well, might be my favorite 9mm to shoot; least favorite to carry in any way. It does look the coolest out of my 4 9mm’s thanks to 80’s and 90’s action movies. And hands down my favorite to dry fire while watching TV on the couch. In fact, during the “inheritance” I got to choose between it and a HiPower and the 92FS won my selection based on appearance alone.
But I really don’t understand the hype or the following going on right now. Gotta just be a fad right? It’s mind boggling to see that Bud’s emailed out to buy used berettas...? Either way I don’t want to part with it because of sentimental value and like I said it is a fine gun. Just no real world niche. Not for me at least. Maybe a bed side piece?
I’d figure it to be a $600 dollar gun new in the before times and a $700 gun nowadays new.
Used? probably subtract a hundred from those prices.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
