I found this 1998 model U.S. built 96 with straight dust cover at a local pawn shop & brought it home today. It's one of the early model .40 calibers manufactured before Beretta changed over to the slanted dust covers & is in nice condition. It has '01 Trijicon night sights that could use a good relamp, one 11 round LEO mag, & appears to have a low round count. The shop owner let me take it out behind the shop & try it out before I bought it, which was a deal maker.
I just held a Beretta 92 for the first time since '04. If fit me like a glove. I closed my eyes and snapped the pistol on target, then opened my eyes. The sights were perfectly aligned.

First gun I ever owned was the 96, in 1993. Mine is a centurion, bought new back then. I love it, and my recent acquisition of .40 reloading dies has rekindled my relationship with what I still think is one of the sexiest auto pistols ever made. Fine weapon, accurate and reliable.
Beautiful gun, but then it IS a Beretta, so I guess that's being redundant. I've got an INOX 96fs I bought new last year. It shoots as nice as my 92fs and really tames that .40 cal. Enjoy!
Just like the thread says, what is your ugly gun that you can't part with?
Mine is a 1950's Mossberg 146B, somewhere around 1954-1957 from what I can find, I paid $80 for it used, and it was missing the inlays in the stock, so I made some from plastic and plywood (still looks like crap), and...
Was out running some errands this morning and decided to drop in on my little pawn shop near the house. Found a Winchester Model 74 in 22 short. It is chambered for 22 short only, which I thought was unique and unaware the the short would be a Semi Automatic cartridge. It does have a unique bolt...
Thought I'd share some of my collection with the fine people here.
I bought this P89 at my LGS in pretty rough shape. They had a ton of them so I'm guessing they were police trade in's, but not really sure. None were in good condition and they were going unwanted. I'm a sucker for a project...
This was one of many that got away. I instantly regretted trading this. It went to my best friend. He takes very good care of his guns. I told him the only condition is that if he ever decides to sell it i get first pick.
