    Congrats and welcome!

    Don't give out so much info. Just my .02.

    Maybe I'm just paranoid...

      he said he got a beretta and lives less than a mile from a landmark, big deal. Anyone who cares can find out exactly where you are this moment.

        Congrats OP.

        As far as ordering ammo via UPS, request signature required!

        I just had 1k rounds of 9mm from Freedom Munitions swiped from my porch last Friday...that or the delivery guy needed to get some training in. So frustrating.

        Anyway, request signature required, or send it to your place of work (if that's an option).

          Excellent choice. The Beretta m9/92fs is the best full sized all metal 9mm there is...and no imo needed here as it was proven in the military trials. Yeah the CZ-75b wasn't involved but there is a book somewhere that compares the Sig 226, Beretta 92fs and CZ-75b and the Beretta was the most reliable. From what I remember its because of the angle the Beretta feeds rounds into the feed ramp, and also the open slide design which aids in ejection. I have also owned the CZ and greatly prefer the 92fs.This will be my choice if and when I decide to get another 9mm.

            You can always request to pick it up at the local ups hub, which is a better option if you live in a sketchy neighborhood. My ups guy is good when it comes to delivering. However, I have had him deliver when someone was home and they left a notice for 2nd attempt. I just make a call to ups within 30 minutes and he always comes back yo deliver. This also happened last week with a signature required from PSA shipment I had coming. Plus, since I have a distributor send me large amounts of reloading components every week in 60+ lbs the ups guy knows me well now that he takes care of me and I always give him a monster or rockstar knowing how hard he has it delivering to me every week.

              No problem to get a 92A1 via SSE if you do it before year end. Here's mine
              Very nice! I think my next purchase is a G41 Gen4 SSE, then I need to find a shop that will DROS on the 29th and let me pick up on 1/8.

              Nice wood handle as well! Got to love the trident.

                  Good point, also Mot Mi had a good point about the hub pickup. I dont want to lose a few hundred bucks, not like its amazon and they just send out another case!

                    Congratulations. Nice choice. 92FS was my first pistol, too. If you haven't already done so, you might consider picking up some additional magazines.

                      That's what cell phones are for. I always (except this last time) take a picture with my cell phone of the gun I'm buying.

                      As for having ammo shipped to you; no problem. I do it all the time

                      Also, I am going to squeeze off a few with the stock grip, but I am planning to put on this baby:



                      Also, has anyone had a problem with ammo via UPS? These are tempting as well:


                      or



                      Also, for the tinkering factor looking at:


                      Because you know, why not?

                      Pics start on 11/9, and ill do step by step if I do the hammer mod.

                      Looking to go for this guy on 11/29, now that I know I only have 2 SSE slots left!

                      Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.
