It hurts, physically, to pass up the SB Compacts and cheap Berettas in general, but I have literally 3 Berettas at various stages of layaway right now.
Please, other PF-ers, give 'em a home. If you don't have a 92, you want one.

My wallet is not ready for this but...oh sweet baby Jesus, three fiddy for a 92FS ... I have some questions: will the non-vertec grip be an issue for my small hands? From the top of my middle finger to the start of my wrist measures at around 6 inches, pretty much the same length as a Glock 19 slide. I know there is the short reach trigger and various aftermarket grips like Langdon's VZ grips and Hogue G10's but do these combined greatly mitigate any potential issues I may have with trigger reach? I can get good leverage on my E2 equipped P226 with a stock trigger but it leaves me with having to shift my grip in order to hit the mag release, if that gives any useful info.
And on the value side of the house, would it be logicial to spend $350 on a 92FS if I want
1. A fiber optic front drilled in from someone like Allegheny Gunworks
2. Both a short reach trigger along with some form of a reduced grip panel
3. Wilson Combat #12 mainspring
4. $55 Type G conversion kit from Beretta

It looks like the standard grips on the Compact Type M make the grip darn near as wide as a double stack with really thin grip panels, negating the theoretical advantage of the single stack. Am I correct in that?
In the purely hypothetical situation that someone had put up a lifetime supply of S&W 3953s, would there be any reason for him to pick up a 92 Compact Type M?
Are they actually replacing lamps again? Last time I looked into that, it appeared they were just doing some sort of clamp-on arrangement.
Whatever BS made that happen is on the list of things Trump needs to change, just sayin'.

Not another dime.
$350.00 for used 92.
$400 in Wilson Combat package goodies including refinish.
$750.00 for a gun that's 9/10s the capability of a Brigadier Tactical at 1/10th of the wait time and 40% greater holster compatibility is a 100% win.

Forum members considering the M type compact should investigate price & availability of magazines. I did a quick check on gunbroker and they command about $100 each for the few examples I could find. I don't know if this is typical at vendors like Numerich, et al, but would be enough of a concern to cause me to waive off.
