The_Real_Hawkeye,
Fwiw, ALL of our crowd, who ordered one or more Model 92S Berettas, bought them from Classic Firearms & I've since found out that only 4 of 15 of our members paid the fee for "hand select". - Having seen almost all of the 92S pistols at a meal/meeting, I cannot truthfully tell you WHICH member DID or DID NOT pay the extra 20 bucks from the appearance of all of the handguns.
(With my luck, I'll probably get one that has LOTS of wear to the exterior finish, IF I do order one.)
ALL of the members are PLEASED with the handguns that they received, as they all are "near mint" on the inside. Even the one with the "tired looking" exterior & was painted semi-gloss black, seemed to have been carried a LOT but seldom fired..
yours, tex
Yeah, I suspect Italian police don't spend lots of time at the range.
PS One reviewer on YouTube said he paid the hand select price of $20.00 and got one that was worn looking, so who knows whether they actually hand select any of them, even if you pay.
