    Post Beretta pics

    The thread about Beretta's new APX pistol got me thinking about my Beretta 92FS and I seem to recall one of our members is a pretty dedicated and knowledgeable Beretta collector. Don't remember who it was but was hoping he and anyone else that has some pics could post them? TIA

    Was and is me. Got hooked when I bought my first 92FS Inox (Italian for stainless) about 15 years ago. Decided I wanted the Bruniton (black) version also. Then I lucked into a Brigadier Inox before I found out how desirable the early ones were.

    My Franken 92 built from parts collected over the 15 years, used by my Air Force doctor/fighter pilot/almost son-in-law for practice to qualify for AFSOC who was amaze how accurate it was/is.


    Neos pistol and Carbine, convertible with papers from ATF on how to convert back and forth between pistol and carbine without getting a knock on the door.





    Above picture, Brigadier in Inox, Standard 92FS Bruniton
    Elite, Standard 92FS Inox.

    And my current tied for favorite .223/5.56 the ARX-100



    Also have the original Series 92 Stepside, an original 92 verified by Beretta as one of their first demos that they were surprised to find got into the hands of a private citizen, and one Italian export original 92.

    Also have a couple of M9 which are basically a 92FS (some were 92F) with military markings.

    Originally I wanted to collect 92 variations until I found out Beretta was a few steps ahead of me, as they specialize in special editions. There are over 120 versions of the 92 series not counting Italian versus USA, USA Maryland versus USA Tennessee, and slanted versus strait dust cover versions of the same. There are probably 200 versions of the 92 in circulation!!!

    I only have one, a Beretta 85 Cheetah in .380. It functions and looks like a scaled down 92.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Nut is the house Beretta guy. HI Powers were a thing for a guy that went as GP35fn or some such.

    One of my favorites is the 92D Centurion. I need to find another one since I sold it some years ago.

    It's pretty nerdy but I'd like a Samurai Edge clone from Resident Evil.

    Can't argue that the rifle looks funny, but not only is it a great shooter, with a push of a button and flip of a lever it goes from right hand to left hand use. Switching ejection from right to left only takes a second, one button push.

    I've got a few ...


    Top center Model 70, 32acp that my dad introduced me to shooting with

    Left, 950 Minx in 22 short - right Model 71 22LR(factory threaded barrel)

    Center - 92 INOX

    Bottom left, 21 in 22LR - right Model 70 22LR

    Edit - I've got a 6" stainless NEOS, but I haven't made up my mind if it's a "keeper" or not

    Nice family kimberkid!!! The value of that Italian 92 Inox with all stainless controls has been going up like crazy. The older frame (straight dust guard, non-radius backstrap) is highly prized.
