Beretta 92

I’ve got a buddy looking at a used Beretta 92 in 9mm. It’s a few years old. What’s a fair price?

What has it been used for and how many rounds (approx) have gone through it?

That I do not know.

I did find out that it is stainless steel.

I had one issued at the police dept. when I was there. It was an ok gun. Don’t have a price used for u though.

I believe they run around $700 new, so that’s somewhere to start.

The problem is that without knowing the history of the gun, I can’t really pinpoint what a good used price. They can go anywhere from $350 to $600+, but condition and use history drive everything. A good example with little use could be a deal even at $600. An ex-millitary/law enforcement training gun with tens of thousands of rounds run through it woudl be worth about half that. Everything depends.

Thanks, guys. The seller is his wife’s uncle, so I am hoping that he wouldn’t try to sell him a worn-out gun. I think he said he wanted $550 for it.

Is that the classic Beretta Mel Gibson had in that series?
Alwasy wanted one of those.

Well, he picked it up for $500. I’m excited to shoot it

‘zuki, this is the gun. Is that what you were thinking of? I’m too young for your Mel Gibson reference.

That’s it. Sweet. Let us know how it shoots. I have always wanted one of those.

ps-too young for Mel?! That’s disturbing. How about John Wayne?

I’m familiar with Mel, just not that movie.

Here you go, Suzuki! I was only 6 when Lethal Weapon came out; 8 when Lethal Weapon 2 came out.

You are missing some classics punk.

They do rerun movies you know guys. I love all the classics but was not born when they came out.
Lethal weapon needs to be seen. Especially now that you have that gun.

Ah…just giving you $hit. I have seen parts of LW, just neve sat and watched the whole thing.

Did you shoot it yet? Did you shoot it yet? Did you shoot it yet?

LOL! Nope. He’s getting it from his wife’s uncle. Said he’s picking it up at Christmas, so I won’t get to shoot if for a week or two.

We finally got to the range tonight. That 92FS is pretty sweet! I like it a lot

The guy next to us was shooting a Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag. My .357 GP100 was like a baby brother. Dang, that thing made a big BOOM!

I brought my Ruger .44 the other night to Bills. I think I unloaded it twice or maybe 3 times before I’d had enough of it. Thought I saw the exact gun (Beretta) in a guncase there? It was a stainless Beretta that looked exactly like your pic.

You’ve got to let me shoot that sometime. I have never shot a .44 mag.

What barrel is on your Redhawk, Suzuki?

I shot a stainless Redhawk .44 with a 10 inch barrel and I didn’t think the recoil was bad at all. With a scope it was a fairly hefty package, but I was expecting a lot more buck and bark than it actually had with factor ammo. I only shot 30 rounds, but it was a nice handgun. I’m sure as with most revolvers, barrel length makes a difference.

Or it might be down to frame of reference. I shoot a Thompson Contenter in 7-30 Waters for deer hunting. The 7-30 is a .30-30 Winchester case reformed and necked down to 7MM. Using hopped-up handloads recoil is significant as is muzzle blast and report. Granted, this is not a caliber one would use for casual plinking, but when doing load development work, I’m good for about 20 rounds and then I get the yips and have to quit.

Not sure of length. Half the prob with mine is I only have bought the high power loads. Also the grips on mine are not the greatest for shooting. I bought a set of beautiful wood grips for it because its normally a decoration on the wall. I just shoot it once in a while to make sure it works and that I am proficient at handling it.
