We are so back Beretta bros.

I just want a factory Beretta with all metal parts without the red lego lightsaber front sight, is that what this is supposed to be

nice

>>63953246
>I just want a factory Beretta with all metal parts
Not going to happen.
Basically every manufacturer is using MIM parts these days. Beretta, Glock, HK, SIG, Springfield, etc.
The only places still using all bar stock for parts are the semi and full custom 1911 shops.
Not really a big deal, either. MIM had a lot of flaws a decade ago and SIG got a lot of shit for it, but since then pretty much everyone has quietly switched over for production costs and simplicity as the quality improved.

>>63953006 (OP)
I just want a fucking Brigadier 92 with classic grip, front serrations, straight dust cover and stainless barrel for god sake.

Wake me up when Langdon has some on his site already kitted out

>>63953276
MIM parts are still metal. The 92 doesn’t have that much issue with MIM other than the slide stop which isn’t a critical part unlike other guns (it doesn’t hold the barrel in place like a lot of guns).

It appears to have a polymer guide rod but probably has a metal trigger

>>63953276
Sig still gets shit for MIM, and rightfully so.

>>63953300
Yeah no this coping about MIM is weird. MIM does not belong on a gun. At all. Ever.

Wasn't the 92X the one with frame mounted safety? The one EVERY beretta-tard said they wanted, but then never subsequently bought.

>>63953300
You can replace the guide rod for less than 20 bucks.

>>63953640
No that's the GTS. Iirc it just recently came out. I'll probably get one eventually

>>63953006 (OP)
>>63953012
Yaaas, kween slaaaay~

>>63953392
True, but SIG sucks for at least a dozen other reasons.
>>63953631
Get with the time, gramps. MIM has been standard on most every small parts production for the last decade or more.
You probably have multiple parts/guns that are MIM and don't even know it (extractors, trigger group parts, etc.)

>>63953392

>>63953757

My P226 40th has a metal trigger and guide rod why can't Beretta do it

>>63953283
you can still buy them stupid

>>63953640
92X Perfomance is the one and people hate it. No real Beretta fan asked for the frame safety, the slide safety is superior

>>63953006 (OP)
WHERE'S THE 96X?!!!

>>63953708
On sale for $660 at grabagun

I just want a plain Jane M9 with a steel frame, simple as.

>>63953006 (OP)
So they just copied what they learned from ltt? What am I looking at

>>63954315
Ok boomer.

>>63953961
Can you just put a .40 barrel into a 92 slide?

>>63954003
Sorry Beretta but I gotta save money for flight school! Maybe after!

>>63953006 (OP)
71x when?

>>63953006 (OP)
>Picatinny rail
Picatinny rails belong on rifles, not goddamn handguns! If Beretta makes a variant of this without those ugly cheese grater rails, I'd definitely buy it.

>>63954665
Where else am l supposed to put my light?

>>63954665
Like the m9a1?

>>63954713
hold it in your other hand like god intended

>>63954713
Use Glock rails instead. They look sleek and subtle, unlike slapping a damn Lepin brick onto the front of your handgun. Beretta's main selling point is the look of its handguns. If they can't get the looks down, there are plenty of other DA/SA handguns I can buy that fulfill the same roles cheaper or better.

>>63954722
Just searched it up. That is exactly how I'd want a Beretta to look.

>>63954723
Based.

>>63954723
That is gay and a pain in the ass when l shoot uspsa. Before you say it yes l do carry a handheld light in addition to the pistol light

>>63954730

>>63953006 (OP)
Why did they put the safety back on the slide? Are they schizophrenic?

>>63954753
They have two product lines for the 92 apparently.
>Just as good as a 2011, the Beretta 92-11!
And the
>Competition shooters aren't using the 92-11, go back to the last 92 upgrade before we went retarded.
I have Berettas with frame and slide mounted safeties or decockers

>>63953818
You can get the 92FS Bronze which is pure sexo.

Beretta should just make the semi auto 93R clone everyone has been asking them to do for decades now. Especially with the SBR tax dropping to 0 I think they'd sell quite a few.

>>63954359
nope

>>63953757
And in the last decade or more we've seen a sharp drop in quality and reliability of newly released firearms and the rise of the "good customer service" defence narrative on jewtube. That's not a coincidence. MIM is one of many cut corners.
I trust a weathered old relic to continue functioning more than I trust anything new to function at all.

Fucking WHY

fatty ham hands

>>63956120
They come with a wrap around grip so you can have the hump if you want. Its got the new texture which is quite nice

>>63955153
I remember reading that Beretta USA wanted to do that a few years back but Beretta Italy told them the tooling was long gone.

>>63957271
>the tooling
That makes no sense. You're either making this up or the idiot you believed who told you made it up.

There is no "tooling" to be lost. Tools get replaced every few weeks as they burn up with use, machines constantly need readjustment and new jigs to be built as they are swapped from job to job, cut to cut. Yeah they wear out, constantly, but replacing tools jigs and machines is a neverending part of production. That didn't disappear from Beretta. They still have the designs and TDP, they could make them if they wanted.

>In 2006, Firearms News Editor-in-Chief, Vincent L. DeNiro was the tactical product manager and pistol marketing manager for Beretta USA (before becoming founder and head of international sales for the US operation).
>In this year, he proposed semi-auto versions of the 93R; an AOW (any other weapon) which would incorporate the folding grip with no stock, a carbine version with 16-inch barrel, and a short-barreled rifle (SBR) which would basically be the 93R in semi-auto.
>For a few months into 2007, the concept was entertained by the US division as well as Beretta Italy. However, when the defense division of Beretta Italy could not locate the original tooling, the project was halted.

>>63957464
>Italians missing stuff

>>63957331
Definitely wrong.
A lot of factories have custom made tooling and parts. Yes, they get replaced as they wear/break, but once a product goes out of production the replacement tooling and parts dry up pretty quickly since those stop getting manufactured and replaced.
Flats for stamped parts like old SIG slides, HK's roller lock guns, and most AKs in general are a great example here.
American made AKs have been shitty for a long time primarily because it took so long to nig-rig the parts for stamping out the receivers. Same with PTR.

>>63953300
The polymer guide rod is self lubricating and an actual upgrade. It's to improve reliability in adverse, specifically, desert conditions. Swapping it out is a disadvantage. This was not done to save cost, but address an actual issue.

>>63957536
>polymer guide rod is self lubricating
Self lubricating you say?

>>63956120
i like the original, but this is the only way my baby hands can get around it sadly

>>63956120
Because it's better.

Are there?
>>63956120
For femboys, a rapidly growing demographic within the gun market

>>63954729
Are there better DA/SA handguns than Berettas?

>>63953006 (OP)
berettas are so ugly
the only good looking handguns are 1911s & HKs
