She finally came in today. I also ordered a different grip so I will post that when it’s on….
Another newbie question, is it bad to get a feel for the pistol and run it through it’s paces (obviously not loaded) or is that bad for the mechanicals?
I would not dry fire it excessively. Believe it or not, you can break a firing pin on a 92 if you dry fire too much. I have seen HKs with broken firing pins from excessive dry firing.
48 oz. empty?
Sorry but that equals a couple of G19s in weight and cost.
Am I missing some qualities that make the Beretta two times better?
At three pounds the recoil cannot be too bad, but that can't be it.
It's pretty, but beauty is function done right IMHO.
Just messing with you.
Welcome to the forum!
Enjoy your new Beretta, I am envious.
Thanks for making my five inch Garrison stop asking if my DeSantis holster made it look fat! 😉😉😉😉

Well, be aware that this is not a normal 92FS. It is a steel framed version, not aluminum. And, it is more of a competition gun similar to a CZ Shadow.
I looked at these, the high end CZ Shadows, the steel framed Walthers... But with all the muscle issues in my neck and shoulders, I did not want a gun that heavy anymore.
That is why I went with the Combat Master. Much lighter. Otherwise, I would have 1 or 2 of those steel framed Berettas.
Hi Goldwing, love it…lol…I welcome all of it. I like your opinion, seeing as this is my first pistol..I’ll take your word for it…thank you, excited to be here…so I can learn…can you post a picture of your firearm?
Never owned many beretta pistols, think only one i have now is a neo's. but i'd own the OP's new one in a heartbeat. that is one nice looking handgun. I do have two Beretta rifles. an original BM-59 and a BM 59 golden state.
On my 938, in a tight holster, reholstering can sometimes slightly move the slide and cause the hammer to lock in a "half cock" position. This can also be done manually by the thumb without moving the slide. What is the purpose of this half cock and will the weapon fire if I then pull the...

And not completely relevant to your question, but an interesting read:
Half-cock notches are found on shotguns, rifles, revolvers and pistols from a variety of manufacturers. Are they a dependable safety, though, or something best avoided?
You will love it, yeah it’s heavy but it is the most accurate gun I have shot. Handle it, dry fire it and get used to the weight and balance…it will become your go to gun.
