Just to see how it would look....I swapped the slide from mine on a SAO and frame-safety converted "unicorn" lower (straight dust cover and upper grip relief which were transitional features in the late 90's):

Gorgeous, just drop dead sexy!
I’ve got several Berettas but only one 9mm Inox
If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse.
I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

Classic had four left for sale at $1349.00, I couldn't pass that up so now they have three left. Hurry while you can.

Please tell me they didn't engrave this on the left side "Fires without magazine":

I hate to say it, but it does. There is also some $h!t about reading the manual before use on the other side.
I call these "Ruger retard stamps". Back in the day, Ruger was the first company to stamp this stuff on their firearms. That's one of the reasons I never owned any of their weapons.
Now it seems like every new firearm has these type of warnings on them; however, I'm sure there are some hold outs that don't. I'm sure its from the corporate lawyers as the wording seems too be about the same between all the makers that are doing this now.

Rarely shoot it, but my 9mm Inox is a beauty.

I can confirm. Those fools indeed want you to read the manual before use. They should have left it plain on the frame!
I still really like it. Even with the idiot warnings.

warnings came on all guns after the S&W lawsuit. It's not like the Italians were like "good idea!" and slapped them on there.

Berettas are easily as addictive as Sig Sauer pistols.
I’ve bought three this year and am about to buy a 92 Centurion this week!

PTG,
I figured there was reason behind it to it, but did not know what brought this about. Thanks for the heads up about the S&W lawsuit.

My unfired 1999 92 Brigadier Inox has the "billboard" too. Believe all US manufacturers started it mid-1990's as an outflow of the S&W lawsuit.

It would appear that inox 92s without the idiot stamps are gaining a little collector value, perhaps.
Looks like two dudes were having a pissing contest over this one. Time will tell.

Yes, early 92 Inox guns were made in Italy, had all stainless controls, all stainless 15rd mags with white or black followers and if complete/mint with original case, sleeve, etc can go for a ton.
I've owned several and never paid close to that...I never keep them however as I prefer the later style with upper grip relief vs the M9 profile.
Interestingly, the fitted plastic case style on those early 92 Inox will rub the matte finish if not protected.

The form is sent to the ATF National Tracing Center and includes much of the info from the 4473 including the Model & Serial # data of the firearms in question. Some prefer to avoid such data collection by the ATF...Just sayin'
IMO, it is best to avoid anything on ATF radar including multiple sales, just space them out or use different FFL's.

Just be thankful that they haven't started stamping it in Spanish as well. But the way things are going...
