I haven’t tried their smaller pistols, but I love my 92’s. I have an old school 92G Vertec, and 92X, and a 92 XI SAO. I also love my PX4 Storm…the lowest recoiling pistol I own.

Id find it hard to go wrong with a Beretta!

 

i too love the 92 bought mine back in 1982

 

I have one of the 82s in .32acp which came in about 7 years ago now. Beautiful pistol and I kinda wish I didn’t know about the latest 84s. .380 is a little spicier in a blowback but a lot more capable, especially with modern ammunition.

 

I’ve been looking at those 380 $299 berettas. I found a .32 version at $299 and grabbed that instead. Extremely nice shooter!! Sights dead on at 35 yards. Light recoil

I think there’s probably excessive amount of the current 380s that came in. Price is fine but most want a small pocket gun when they buy a 380. Not a mid size gun with the same capacity

I’m looking for an old tip up 380 beretta. But prices are too nutty imo

 

True, recreational shooting is a 9mm world these days. Most prefer .380 strictly for CCW, or they like the lower recoil (but want a modern locked breech design to maximize the recoil reduction.)

I know Beretta makes a .32 tipup, was not aware they did a .380. The tomcat .32 has a very checkered reputation. I love the looks and the idea but I don’t like a gun that cracks its slide with anemic .32acp loads.

 

Beretta 70S .380 ACP. It's basically a modernized M34/35 and remains single action. I got one around 1980 and very stupidly traded it for an Interarms Walther PPK/S (made in Alabama) and regretted that blunder for many years. But a couple years ago I found a minty used 70S at an attractive price and immediately grabbed it. The only thing I didn't like was the thumb rest left grip. This was added to meet import requirements, and made the grip uncomfortable and jammed my thumb up against the safety. (Note: some 70S models had the Beretta cross button safety, but mine has a traditional lever.) I found some nicely made walnut grips without the thumb rest and with it the pistol is now a favorite.

 

I have the same weakness. M9 in the Army, later the 92F as an issued LE sidearm. Since then, a personal M9 and 92FS, Inox, Vertec, Ninety-TWO, 92 Compact, Centurion, the 92X, and lately the WC and LTT. I never get tired of collecting and shooting these pistols. In capable hands they are as relevant now as they ever were.

 

Dupe

 

I also like Beretta, but only older ones:

They are two 1915/17, a 1922, a 1931, some 1934 and 1935, sme 635.
Only exception are a 951 and a 950 ad a postwar 418 that came in a bargain.

 

Pix of your BB?

I love the 80 series, B, BB. I have been looking at them.

I haz this 85 FS:

and 92 FS

 

I had an older tip up .32. Trigger was garbage. Sold it fast. The .32 mid size beretta is a dream to shoot
