Old school, made in Italy. All silver controls, so this is an older one. Don't see these often, especially in like new shape for $450. On layaway at a local shop. He doesn't pay anything for guns coming in, and prices accordingly on his used gun prices.
Will pick it up next month. Gun budget is gone this mo. Unless I end up selling something in the meantime.
No box and a 10 round mag, but I have extra Beretta boxes and tons of mags .

nice! all silver Italians are worth $$$ these days. I scored one with two white follower stainless mags for $525 last year (they go for 2x that on Gunbroker).

I know the stainless controls were brittle so Beretta swapped to carbon steel controls but man! Those things are lookers.

Here's the one I got...ended up selling it to a buddy but with right of first refusal if he ever sold it.

I paid $650.00, less a few cents, NIB 7 years ago. Sounds like you got a great deal. They are fine pistols.

Called Beretta customer service. My new (to me) 92fs Italian made all silver inox was a ban state gun, came with 2 10 round mags originally, was made in 1991.
So the one mag it comes with may be original to the gun.
Now if the gun shop owner can just find the original box. He is looking to see if he has it.

The only redeeming quality is the metal bases on them. Collectors like the white followers for some reason but I immediately sold my mags (no original box or sleeve so collector status was already diminished)

Thanks for all of the photos. One thing I am noticing is that this 1991 serial number is LOW.
L035xxZ Four digit serial number.

Excellent price for the gun. My INOX has been a favorite, paid around $600 seven years ago for a NIB example.

Any cool points for an american all silver Inox?

Was that at KTP? Looked like a really nice Beretta at a very reasonable price. Funny, as they are hit or miss on used guns and prices. Congrats. After watching Ronin for the first time, I always wanted one (and a two tone P239).

No . Not ktp. They have had to cut what they pay due to gun market being down. they got stuck with a lot of used sigs that were worth less after sig lowered prices a year or two ago. They have not lowered prices that much, guess their volume is down.
