thats a fantastic deal for a 92FS, buy it.

the italian ones with the blued finish I like better, no mechanical differences, it will be a good shooter straight out of the box.

very good. Just know it is a big pistol and if you have small hands it will not fit well. I had one and got ride of it for that reason. Nice gun.

The gun is down in Kingsland, Georgia.I'm a truck driver and I go to Miami area every week,same run.I'll need to have the pistol sent to an FFL in Erie after I buy it. It looked like a good deal to me also.One thing I didn't like was the open barrel but from what the owner said they will not import the 92 model anymore.Is it true?

they are now made in Maryland, no need to import them.
they built a plant for US Mil production.

open bbl for reliability. The beretta 92/96 is based on the walther p38 design if I am not mistaken

Definitely get it for that price. Especially since it's made in Italy...I personally don't care (my 92FS INOX is made in the USA) but a lot of people will pay a premium for Italian made 92's. Good luck!
