Happiness is a new gun 2

[dao]

Mine arrived at my LGS today. Got to fondle it a bit. Date code of CB (2021). Got the paperwork filled out. Now to wait.

Just got this today......

I've always had a special place for Berettas. But I just can't wrap my hand around them as much as I like. Do love my Cougar though, it's the only one I have left. That will probably leave me on my next boating trip though.

Nice pickup, beautiful gun!

Had Beretta 9's when I started at the PD, then went to 40's and finally Glock 45's. Now back to 9's but still Glocks.

I got along fine with the Beretta's, a little fat thru the grip for my taste and the lady officers found them kind of big but they did fine with them. I bought my 9 when they went to 40's, should have got a 40 since they were so cheap on the buy back but I didn't.

The Armorer class was 3 full days and pretty much needed all 3. Lot of pieces and a lot of springs in those things. Had to work on a fella's awhile back and found that I'd forgot most of what I learned. We got er put back together but took a little doin.

I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I still like them but they're just a bit big for my tastes. Even the compact. And they never did offer much in .40 which is my preferred caliber. Now they don't offer it at all. But they are great guns. Well most of them. The APX is as ugly as a mud fence imo.

Well this one was used and got it for decent price. It is about the same size as my Sig P226 and Sig P220. In the research I did, before getting it, it sounds like Wilson Combat gets it right with them.
I have always liked the looks of the Beretta.

If you got it for a decent price, it being a Wilson variant I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

The one Beretta grip I never tried and probably should have is the Vertec. They're now on all the 92X's but I haven't had one in hand yet. The also come with a wrap around grip for those who like the larger circumference.

I didn't note it was a Wilson. Has to be damn good. They do mighty nice stuff.

I'm pretty sure that the Wilsons and the Langdons are done in TN at the Beretta factory. There's been discussion about this because people have tried to get warranty work done by one or both and have been directed to contact Beretta instead. If memory serves it was a Langdon (LTT) 92 that was involved, but I do think they're both actually put together in Gallatin, albeit with Wilson or Langdon provided specialty parts. I could be wrong of course.

It sure is pretty no matter where it was put together.
