Beretta 96 FS

[Sontag_Shooter]

This was my first handgun, she's thrown a lot of lead.
The Trijicons aren't very bright now, so she's a range gun only these days.

Looks great....Buy some new Trijicons ......

Very nice. I got one to carry in my cars. My Dad in his career as law enforcement said he'd seen a few 9mm glance off windshields and didn't penetrate car doors at times. He still carried a Browning High Power 9mm but it was mostly cause it held so many bullets. They didn't have the .40 calibers back in his day. He recommended something a little stouter for vehicle carry in case you got into it with someone in another vehicle.

How can anyone not love this pistol? Such a classic design.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

Uncle Georgre, my Beretta was originally a LEO model. I'm actually the 3rd owner; I bought it from my cousin, who purchased it as a police trade in.

....Buy some new Trijicons ......

It's funny you say that, Triger_1. I was thinking about doing that until my "gun money fund" was depleted last month from buying the Kimber.

framedcraig1, I agree. Beretta got it right with the 92/96. The simply go bang every time you pull the trigger 'till the mag is empty.

 

[TRIGGER_1]

I hope your gun money fund has recovered cause that 96FS sure deserves those Trijicons....

 

[bigdogdaddy]

Kinda hard to not recognize that Baretta design.

 

[TRIGGER_1]

Really good eye candy for me too.........

The bad news: I saved a few bucks, but I did not buy new Trijicons for my Beretta.

The good news: I picked up a Mossberg 500 Persuader instead.

I have always loved the Baretta 96 styling. Been on my short list for a long time, unfortunately my short list has become a 'long list!!! :-X
