So I hunted down myself one of those 18 round, DAO K frames. I’m happy with it thus far.

The trigger was pretty good with the D spring. It’s even more gooder with a Wolff 13# spring. I haven’t had the chance to run much ammo through it yet. 60 rounds of Blazer Aluminum case 115 ball and 5 rounds of Hydrashok 124. No failures so far. I hope that continues to be the case.

I was looking pretty hard at a new 92X frame with all the important parts that was for sale over on the Beretta forum and then buying one of the 92D Centurion parts kits for sale on EveryGunParts.com. Buying an original came out to be substantially cheaper as I was getting up into new M9A3 price ranges just to get all the parts together. Especially as the parts kits didn’t include locking blocks. It’s a bit of a bummer that I don’t have a rail but that’s never been a requirement for me for a defensive pistol.
Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the gun. I’ll probably spring for a Wilson rear sight eventually unless someone can suggest a better option to get a slightly wider notch than OEM.

Nothin' since September, so I will add a Vertec from days gone by.
Vertec 92fs.

Am I the only one who stumbled into owning a “Dash”?
90-Two… super low round count, minor scratches. It really shoots great, but suffered from the shittiest marketing and naming ever.
(Anyone got a spare plastic rail cover floating around? It’s the only thing I am missing from the box.)

Soooo, I don’t own these, but did assemble them.
My friend owned a local range, and that range was featured on several TV shows, like Dooms Day Preppers, The Little Couple, and a few others for TLC. At one point, he was asked if a show could film there that turned out to be “Norman Reedus: Ride Across America”. The plot was Norman Reedus from Walking Dead riding his motor cycle across the country, and each episode had a different guest and would include a different stop over and activity. Well, the planned episode would have Norman and his Boonbock Saints co star Sean Patrick Flanders go to the shooting range.
So my buddy bought these matching Berettas and had the custom paint job applied. And a few days before the episode was due to film, a rather large and famous school shooting occurred. And the producers and Norman decided an episode of shooting guns was all yucky…. So they canceled. Never mind Norman makes a living shooting people every week on The Walking Dead, and in other movies.
Anyway, the show was never filmed, my buddy sold off the pistols, and I never got my 5 min of fame on TV helping run the range for the show.
And that is the back story of how these two pistols got a paint job that I would never own…. But someone snatched up at a premium price.

Was going to do some 1:1 scale dry fire with my carry LTT, but the single digit temps along with the wind was a bit much so an impromptu photo shoot is what happened instead
