Yea, there was originally a contest to pick the finalists for a name. Those are the finalists now.
Not really too big of a fan of any of them.

Me either really, I voted for Saber though... The other ones were really bad I thought. I mean... "Evo" looks and sounds to much like... "Devo" :-DOriginally Posted by Shipwreck
And isn't "Onza" a Mexican coin...?
Here's the full list of possible names...
Onza
Forza
Panther
Evo
Panthera
Saber
Well, the contest is over, but they still haven't announced the winner yet....
I submitted EVO and a friend submitted PANTHER
I understand that "Panther" is copywritten to another firearm company, so "Panther" is probably not gonna make it.
I have recieved a few emails telling me I am a finalist............
the waiting game sucks. I think they are gonna wait until American production can handle the new model since all the 90two's now are imports from Italy until they give the winners a gun. I know a few people have submitted EVO.
Gary
I kinda gave up on hearing the results
Man, still notta peep on this, as far as I know...

I wonder if they will ever make an Inox version of that thing...
Looks like it is the:
Beretta "We Screwed U Guys On The Contest" Ninety Two![]()
![]()
Yep, its the official "no winner" contest
Some guys on the Beretta forum claim their entry was among the finalist choices or something - If I knew a lawyer, I think I'd file suit - they have never honored their contest.... No name picked - and no winner for the person who turned in the finalist names...

Well, if I was in the top 5 - I think I'd start complaining....
not that big an issue
I hate to wait, bought a 90-two anyways
I work for bean counters and they suck, the bean counters at BUSA are like all I have seen before. I got a 15% coupon redeemable in april....big deal.
I love the product, not so much the people behind the company.
Remember BUSA, without us, you would be nothing.....(rant off)
Well, in advertising a contest, and then never picking a winner - that is fraud...
