At any rate, this edition of pr0n here Where Sometimes Things Go Bang features a version of one of the most common semi-automatic handguns out there. This is the Beretta 92FS Inox:
Click to emiggonateSexy, eh? I lurves me some stainless steel. No finish required. It's like being naked:)
This is first firearm that The Wifey and I ever purchased. She used to work in the catering department at a local BBQ joint. One of the events she worked was a charity event for Texas A&M's alumni association that included four raffles. One of those raffles was for a stainless Ruger Mark VII chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum with a gorgeous green laminate stock (nicely complimented the stainless, I might add). Heck of a medium-to-large game hunting rifle. Too bad I'd never been hunting.
So a quick sell to a guy at work netted me enough cash to pick up this totally stainless Beretta brand new in 2001. Allegedly, Beretta decided to discontinue production on all stainless handguns around 2005 (ish?), and after that rumor the store shelves saw a new version of the 92FS Inox with black hardware including the safety/decocker lever, the mag release button, and the hammer (yuck!).
I'm glad we got this one when we did, and I'm also quite happy about the five factory magazines that just arrived last week. That resulted in this past Friday's range session, in which 150 rounds were stuffed 15-deep in each of the five new mags twice (that's gonna be on the test;). As you might expect, all five mags performed flawlessly.
Well, that's that until next time, which might come faster now that I've got more in the arsenal. The next installment may involve something pink...
