The_Real_Hawkeye,
NICE pistol & a GREAT GROUP, as well.
Fwiw, another of our members of "The EOF Group" (a retired US Army MSG) got his 92S from Classic Firearms/local FFL last Tuesday & his LOOKS unfired/unissued.
(I may order one of these yet.)
EVERY one of our crowd have gotten a NICE Beretta, though one member got one whose exterior LOOKED "tired" - He refinished his 92S with a can of semi-gloss black epoxy paint, that is made for refinishing kitchen appliances.
LOOKS FINE, too.
yours, tex
Yes, if you look at the various YouTube videos of them opening up new crates as they come in, it's amazing how many of them look new or nearly new. It seems to go mostly by which crate, as some crates have a high concentration of them that look like beaters, and are of the earlier versions (with the half checkered stocks only), with lots of finish worn off, and some crates seem to be filled mostly or entirely with the newer 92S with the full checkered stocks that mostly contain guns that look nice.
