I was fully ready to pay about $550 for an Italian made 92FS last winter, Gander Mt. had a choice between the one made in MD and the Gardone, Italy made model both about the same price. Last I checked only the US made one was still there. It was between the 92FS and a Glock 17, I went with the Glock 17 thinking it would be the more "utilitarian" choice and was glad I did, but now I still want a Beretta! If given a choice for a 9mm that will last forever, I will have to go with the Glock, although the cool factor of the 92F is so much higher. I don't know if older military issued M9's are available as "surplus" but I would like to get one. I am no huge fan of Taurus, but the older Taurus PT92's are pretty much clones of the old original straight Beretta 92's, with the newer PT92's being a variation of the 92F. Kind of a way to get a Beretta clone on the cheap, I have seen used Taurus 92's for $200. Resale for "Tauri" is nil and at least the Beretta will hold it's value, as in a Taurus loses 75% of it's resale after the first round is fired. I guess a local PD here in PA just dumped some 96D's, I have seen a few of them for about $400 or so, I almost bought one but the DA only "anti-lawsuit police anti-ND" action didn't appeal to me. Makes as much sense to me as a full size duty revolver with a bobbed hammer made into a DAO, which is no sense at all other than to idiot proof a revolver so a barely trained "non gun person" cop doesn't cock the hammer and shoot someone by accident.
