new to me, Beretta 96A1, back from custom shop

Sweet. WAL has done a couple crowns and a fiber optic insert on a fixed front sight 92 slide for me. He does good work I’m sure you will be happy.

More pics and a range report please!

NICE!

.40 is an obsolete, useless, borderline dangerous caliber that anybody with a lick of sense has dumped.

So I’ll give you $70.00 for shipping and I will, ahem, dispose of that thing for you before you get yourself killed.

Very nice look looking Beretta ya got there. Crown is very nice. I very much like the “A1” 9x guns.

Enjoy it in good health.

Take Care, Shoot Safe,
Chris

Getting those 40’s out of circulation is an honorable goal, I’ll help out too, and will even have their barrels cut down also...

well, the gun shoots like a laser now, it was always accurate BUT, shot low and left. I like my guns to be what I call "eye socket accurate" at 7 rds. it is now, to WALS credit he had to fiddle with the FS/RS combo to get the POI/POA right. I like the 40 for its power thru barriers . In my line of work (retired LEO and now Constable) I can appreciate shooting thru car doors/glass if needed (hope not though).
no malfunctions of any type , but that is the norm with my Berettas , I also have a custom Glock 22 by that I carry as well.

thanks, shawn
