My first handgun was a Beretta 92fs. That was in 1992. I sold it a few years later to help finance my marriage. I miss it sometimes. I never had any friends that were in to guns, so I had to go it on my own. I guess my role model was mel gibson's charachter in " letal weapon", I thought that was pretty cool. Funny thing was , since I was pre-novice on everything handguns ( shottys were much more familiar), I was concerned about getting a 9mm because they were -really powerful-, yeah, I was a knob, I was considering a .380 just to go with something "less powerful".
Glad I went with the Beretta. I shot about 1700 rounds thru it and it never failed me once. It spoiled me. If I ever owned a gun that didn't give me the kind of reliability I expect, then it gets sold...........
