Beretta....Now Cheap to Buy (Update) - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

**Ed Ely** · 12-07-2005, 05:24 PM

Today, at my local FFL dealer, I just happened
to be looking over his latest dealer catalog flyers.
I was floored when I saw the prices on the Beretta.

Those suckers, the 92s, are down around $300 and
that is in SS.

On the Beretta Forum last week, someone was talking
about the price of Berettas not holding up very well
over time. I just might have to buy a SS 92 from my
dealer. He does me 5% over his cost, for sure, as I
look at the invoices. Those are darn good prices.

Also of interest was the S&W model 637 for a few bucks
less than $300 and the model 638 at $313, both are snub
nosed wheel guns.

I'll sell you my CX4 storm for $550.

The sad thing is that I might actually have to do that if I don't find a job soon...

I tell ya what. If it comes to that you sell it to me FTF here in VA and when you're back on your feet I'll sell it right back to you same price.

Ed, you might've saved me a lot of money. Do you think that will carry over to the retail side soon?

I don't understand some of the negative opinions of the 92s. I've had mine for 15 yrs. I've never had a malfunction, ever. I've found no ammo that it doesn't shoot. The finish is excellent. And I can't tell you how rounds that I've put through that thing. Maybe I'm just lucky. But if that's the case, why didn't I win anything in the raffle (or lotto)

Hey Mav,
Just make sure he gets all of the extras like the top and bottom rails, sling, red dot sight, and bi-pod. That would make the deal set in stone for me. I love my storm, just need money for the bottom rail and forward pistol grip.

I always liked the Beretta and the only thing keeping me from one was the price. A Stainless 92 was about $700 new and blued was about $50 less at $650. $300 is awful tempting

Now if the H&Ks would drop in price I would be glad to add one into my collection for sure.

I have seen black Berettas at gun shows here in Texas for $499 a few months go. But yea, all the shops charge so much for them...

THere's a big difference between the SS Beretta you can buy now and the old ones. The new ones have a lot of plastic parts.
Here's my "old one". It's a great gun, eats everything and is quite accurate.
