Yes! Ordered in first week of February (last fiscal year). Came Tuesday last week. I'm just glad they're here. Everyone seems to like the guns and the holster (Safariland 6360) combo thus far. We will see how good they shoot next week.
BTW: Ever wonder why LEO's that know wear their bullet proof vests to the range? LOL! I will be wearing mine.
ETA: S&W rep (Steve) is great to work with. Kept me up to date with what was going on...when he could find out something.

Here are a couple of oldies that were left to me by my Grandfather. I remember him showing these to me as a little boy and telling me that someday he would give them to me. He has been dead for 10 years and I had long forgot about them. Just recently an Aunt who I hadn't seen in years gave these to me, as she had been holding on to them. It was a nice surprise.
The first is a S&W Model One, Third Issue. It has a some rust and a broken hammer, but nice anyways.
The second is a Remington Elliott Ring Derringer in .22 short. This actually still works, with all the original parts.

I bought a Beretta 92FS because I am issued an M9, and wanted to spend more time training than the Army would allot during duty hours. I've found if you keep it lubed and change the recoil spring regularly, it is a very reliable pistol. If you don't do those things, BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN!!! I doubt it would pass a 2,000 round challenge with zero malfunctions without lubrication.
I bought a "G" slide (no safety, decocker only) because I didn't want to accidentally put the weapon back on safe if working a malfunction drill when carrying. I still put the original FS slide back on when training prior to a deployment.
The extended mag release helps when reloading while wearing combat gloves. During extended deployments I put one on my issue M9.
The skeleton hammer, along with the Inox barrel and trigger, are just for looks.
