Beretta 96 Inox. I just put 100 rounds threw it today, and painted a nice group at 70 yards.

40S&W is a nice round for this pistol, the weight of it handles the snappy nature of this round very well. Now I can't wait to put an EFK dragon extended barrel on it for an eventual silencer, and some custom Sword Cutlass grips.

Nice!

I know what you mean by "snappy" - I've a Glock 22 in .40 S&W - takes some doing at times to get the beast to do your bidding.

How does it compare to a Glock in the same caliber - easier to control?

Very nice! Welcome to the Beretta family! I love my 92FS Inox, it fits my large hands perfectly, and is a pleasure to shoot.

Yeah its a lot easier to control.

.40S&W is a snappy round, the recoil is very different from even .45. Never cared for it much until now, but I have only shot light weight compact and sub compact polymer pistols chambered in it. Most of those are simply overpowered by it, and like you said you have to just hold on and kind of hope the rounds land about where you want.

The 9mm in the 92 is a very soft shooting pistol, having shot both I really like the 96. This design is not light so why not put the weight to good use? Its mass keeps the snap of the .40 well under control.

I was very pleasantly surprised today with the accuracy I was able to get out of it shooting very piss poor unevenly loaded Winchester white box ammo. With real ammo I think I can get the groups to tighten right up. I think with real ammo and probably that EFK barrel this pistol could easily engage targets at 100 yards, if not further.

I like your Beretta but I am especially fond of your marksmanship commitment, posers would not fathom shooting a pistol 70 yards. Keep up the good work.

So this is. 40 caliber and not 9mm?

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

Also whats going on with Winchester? I have shot literally tens of thousands of white box rounds in all calibers and I have always found it to be cheap, but pretty good ammo.

This box sucked, you could hear the different loading of the rounds when they went off. Also the accuracy was all over the place with some of them. I had fliers like you wouldn't beleive.

Its not the pistol, with some Hornady critical defense rounds it was like a laser gun, but those are $1 each...

Its just fun, most people think pistols are good for like 15 yards at most which with a full size is a joke.

70-100 yards is perfectly doable with any full size pistol shooting a full power round.


Its also a ton of fun.

92 = 9mm

96 = .40 cal

I would shoot Federals from Walmart over white box Winnies any day in either .40 or 9mm. My 92FS Centurion HATES white box ammo. Smokestack city. Welcome to the world of good looking peestolas. BTW, it's starting to look like an effing gun forum around here.

Might have to take a trip over to Gander Mountain tomorrow, just to check one out.

You've got my interest - mind me asking what's the going price for one?

Yep, but its the same frame and pistol. I had my friends 9mm slide on it the other day.

I'm going to put the proper barrel on it and cough up $130 for custom aluminum grips with the Sword Cutlass logo on them in silver.

AFAIK it will be the only real version of Revy's gun. Lots of airsoft, but so far no one has built the real deal.

You will be hooked, they are soooo nice!

I paid $640 cash, but my guy sells pretty cheap. Retail I think is a bit more.

That's about what I paid for my 92 - about 16 years ago...

Except for the 90-TWO, which is identical to the 92FS, but comes in .40. A good buy by the way, they're being discontinued I think. I got an email recently about them being marked down to 700 bucks on the Beretta website. Italian made too.
