Buying My 1st Pistol GTFIH

[Inhumanity]

please dont buy an m9....

That's the military version of the 92FS. I wasn't planning on it.

No thanks Jeff. Chit looks like it came out of a gumball machine or Cracker Jack box.

It's a 9mm not a shotgun. I'll be fine.




Right?



Bros?


Can I double up on hearing protection? Plugs & muffs?

Cool thanks for sharing bro. Hopefully I'll be happy with it. What's the going rate for the 92FS? $500-$600? How much is box of ammo?

I believe I paid over $700 total but I live in California, where they have a ****load of fees and a high sales tax. On Beretta's site, their suggested retail is $675, so anything under that is a pretty good deal. A box of ammo if you buy it retail at the local store or Walmart will probably run you anywhere between thirty cents to fifty cents a round for plinking. If you want defense rounds, you'll probably get them for about a dollar a round. I suggest buying them in bulk at a place like ammoman.com for about thirty cents or less a round, depending on how clean you want your rounds to be (but then again, the 92FS doesn't seem to care what it eats according to most people, I've been babying mine though). The only negative part about a 9mm gun is that you're sort of on the border of making it worth your time to load your own ammo.

92FS has a really soft recoil, just barely above a 22 pistol in my opinion. A girl a hundred pounds smaller than me had no issue firing off rounds with it. And some people do double up on hearing protection, but I don't think the 92FS is that loud. But it also matters what the person next to you is shooting.

Good buy sir i salute you. But make sure you add a quality 1911 to that collection

[Shredededed]

stay safe op. Always remeber i love you (nohomo). RIP

Incorrect, still contains recoil. OP still gets hit, not strong enough to hold recoil. Broken nose for OP in the future by recoil
Not srs.

Alright, thanks. I don't need fancy 9mm ammo. I think a 50 round box should set me up. 15 rounds per clip at 3 clips that's 45 rounds. 5 left over. lol..I know I need more.

no uzi no care

Not worried about recoil but idk what to expect, lol. Yah I'll double up anyway to protect my hearing. Thanks.

My friend has one, nice gun.

stay safe op. Always remeber i love you (nohomo). RIP

I'll try my best bro.

Sheeeeet.

My needs:

9mm
12-17 rounds in magazine
Under $700 new
Just for plinking at gun range, home protection and when I'm in car protection.

Springfield XD9 5" Service Model
9mm
16 round double stack
$500
trigger safety, grip safety and firing pin block, and out-of-battery safety.

Most important safety is between your ears.

Never fired a gun before...lol.

Find a range near you that rents out guns. If they rent them, they'll probably have a 92fs, some Springfields and some Glocks available for you to try. See which feels right.

[Truthbombing]

poor decision and lol at because it has a safety

Yup. Carried one for around a year as a back up, thought it was too big/heavy, also wished it didn't have that safety. I didn't get to choose it.

A fifty round box? That'll last you about fifteen minutes, if that, at the range. Also, I believe the Beretta comes with two magazines (poverty ten rounders in California, stupid laws). If you plan on using it for defense, I suggest buying a box of defense rounds as well and keeping a magazine loaded with them near the gun. They are designed to stop people and practically never fail. Also, have you fired a gun before? If not, I highly suggest taking a lesson. They're usually offered at local ranges or gun shops, sometimes even for free (just the cost of ammo and maybe a rental firearm).

[ValinaBubbles]

OP.... I have bad news... The marine corps just scrapped this side arm because of jamming... Looks like you're going to get two safety's with it

[anonymous]

Also, this. If you're seriously considering carrying this around for defense, you should look into something else. It is very bulky compared to most pistols that people carry around.

Thanks. I think I might find a gun range and try some guns out first. But I really want the Beretta so I might just buy it anyway and bring it to gun range with 1,000 rounds..lulz.

Of course not. You're in the military. Uncle Sam chooses for you. But, I read about that and you can't compare a poorly maintained Beretta M9 to 92FS.

Defense rounds? No need. Just unload clip..

Lmao. K then. Hope I don't get jammed up and blow the pipe.

Also, this. If you're seriously considering carrying this around for defense, you should look into something else. It is very bulky compared to most pistols that people carry around.

Bulky? Good good. It's got the intimidation factor going for it. I'm not gonna CCW so it doesn't matter if its large for a 9.


Thanks for all the comments, any more tips or suggestions? Thanks brahs.

[LiveFitorDie]

thanks for the neg

Occuptation= Writer = Wants a gun that was in His OMG COOL MOVIES. lol ****ing dork.

[NotKourosh]

Be a man and get yourself a Desert eagle 50 cal )

[3lixer]

You should go with this. Master race full size 9mm.



Fits in your hand like it was made specifically for your hand only. Holding a Beretta 92 is like holding a brick. If you do go 92fs get the Inox. That thing is hngggg looking.

[LiveFitorDie]

oh and btw if your not CCW... your gun carry, needs to be unloaded and in your trunk.

U mad *******? Lmao.

Anyway, you did make a good point about spending a lot of money without having fired a gun. I looked some more and it turns out there's a range nearby that rents the Beretta 92FS...so maybe I'll do that first.

Maybe in ****gy time PA. But not in my state partner.

and what state would that be..

[Inhumanity]

I can read the statutes just fine.

[LiveFitorDie]

just be sure you're right.

[BigVic92]

Of course not. You're in the military. Uncle Sam chooses for you. But, I read about that and you can't compare a poorly maintained Beretta M9 to 92FS.

Yeah, because you know so much more about gun maintenance than the military, what with all your extensive knowledge of firearms.

[taddpole]

This is a troll thread.

[Inhumanity]

You can't be srs. I've been reading all I can about the 92FS *******. And yes, that's the main factor. The Beretta M9 and it's civilian counterpart are GOAT guns. But they still need to be maintained right.
