Item Description: Early 90's FIRST GENERATION BERETTA 92FS STAINLESS in Excellent condition

I stole this description from a listing on GBroker in which a seller actually complained about British sellers stealing his descriptions and using his words falsely to describe lesser “INOX” specimens. Since his listing gives good historical background on the evolution of the model, and since the serial number for his listing was only 7 newer than my own, I feel okay using his description.
I used to CC this gun back in 1996 but it was too big so I shelved it and started carrying a Cougar. I bought this used in 1995 for $750 plus tax ($1350 today, adjusting for inflation) and took it to the range twice. I haven’t fired it in over 20 years.

Will transfer in person to valid permit holders only.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Sorry if this ruffled any feathers. To clarify, this is my item. I've had it for 25+ years. In researching it to set a price (a year ago), I found an international listing (a year ago, on 10/7/2020) on a popular auction site (don't know if I can name names but it rhymes with "bun soaker" :becky:) where a seller was advertising a gun that was likely produced literally a few days mine was. He shared a lot of details about the changes made by generations of the model, nearly all of which I didn't know. I figured potential buyers may also be unaware of these differences across the gens so I copied those items here.
It's 100% my item but rather than just post his words as my own, I wanted to give credit to my source. Damned if you do, damned if you don't... :cool:

Hope this helps!
