That right there... would have been enough for me to just walk away and order what I wanted online. (JG sales has used Beretta 92fs and 92 compacts listed for sale) Even if I had to pay more due to transfer fees...Originally Posted by s0nspark
I hate talking to gun shop employees... Many I have met have irritated me at a level where I can barely keep my mouth shut.
I know what you mean ... normally I can overlook the posturing and ignorance in order to find out what I need to know by getting hands on with something. This time, though...
To his credit he was able to readily point out the differences with the Vertec but that didn't make up for the rest! Besides, their price on this well-used gun was $600 which seemed rather high to me.

Being I have been essentially living on Army bases the last couple of months, I can understand the service members dislike of the Beretta. Everyone I have seen has been in atrocious physical condition, and being they are carried in the field without magazines in very bad weather, I can only imagine what the insides look like. Personally, the military either needs to be serious about arming its soldiers like soldiers and they carry loaded pistols regularly as a personal protection weapon with modern hollow-point ammunition, or dump them all together. But what is going on right now is stupid.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

What's the 92FS Compact empty weight with magazine?
Beretta's web site shows 896g, if so that's stupidly heavy.
Anyone have a dope scale they can weigh one for me?

Nyeti, this is the new and enlightened military. Loaded weapons might offend the enemy, and dead combatants look bad on CNN. /sarcasm.

May God help them. At least in my area. I think there's more guns per square mile than people. On another note, I'm attending a local auction for a sporting goods store that went bankrupt. Many guns are being auctioned off, including several NIB 92FS's. I'd rather have a 92A1 but if I can score a 92FS dirt cheap I will.
1 lb 15.5 oz. M9A1 Compact
Given that the Compact is not reeeally a compact pistol, would I be better off sticking with a full size M9A1? Does the Compact offer or sacrifice anything non-obvious to a first-time Beretta owner?
I *might* carry this pistol AIWB at some point as an alternative to my CZ PCR but primarily this will be for HD or maybe bugout bag duty... Thoughts?

For primarily off-body use, I would choose a full-sized pistol.
