Beretta Steel I, has arrived :)

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 06:08 PM

I've been wanting one of these for awhile, managed to find one last year and finally have it.

Gorgeous! Rare and beautiful is a great combination. Enjoy the best of the 92 series.

I'm curious... what does that weigh?

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 06:59 PM

Thanks buddy

Weighs 1200grams I'm told, a little heavier than the standard model

meanmachine1961 · February 15, 2013, 07:37 PM

Absolutely beautiful!

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 07:38 PM

Thanks mate

Venom1956 · February 15, 2013, 07:43 PM

I'd own one. MUCH nicer then the standard.

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 07:45 PM

Definitely. I really like the finish of the Steel I. My Inox models are nice but the Steel I is atleast a step or two above

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 10:09 PM

A few extra pics

Very nice. I've never heard of one until now.
How rare are they?

Morgo, what is the other blued one? seems like similar controls and such can't make out the rear of the frame looks more like the standard profile? I like the comp also.

Is that a 10/22 its laying on?

Good taste sir!

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 10:15 PM

Marquezj16 - I don't think they are overly common, not sure how many were made though.

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 10:16 PM

Venom - Its the Beretta 92fs Combat

It's actually the Combat combo so I have the case with extra shorter barrel, to convert it to the Beretta 92fs Stock, plus additional sights etc

p.s good spot its a Ruger Charger Stock kit (i.e Nordic chassis, Magpul bits

)

LockedBreech · February 15, 2013, 10:27 PM

Gasp.

GASP.

Congratulations!

tahunua001 · February 15, 2013, 10:36 PM

interesting, when did beretta do away with the slide mounted safety? that is the only real gripe I have with the M9

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 10:46 PM

They haven't, all the standard models have the slide mounted safety.
Beretta just made a few variants that had a frame mounted safety.

TheNocturnus · February 15, 2013, 10:49 PM

Wow, that sure is purty. Is she a safe queen or a shooter?

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 10:50 PM

A light shooter I think

Venom1956 · February 15, 2013, 11:16 PM

I'm with tahunua001 can't stand em, I now want one with a frame safety... I knew they existed but I've never seen one I've really liked until now.

treg · February 15, 2013, 11:16 PM

Suuuweeeeeet. Love the non-dyslexic safety!

I bet it shoots like a dream too.

blackamos · February 15, 2013, 11:19 PM

I wish all Beretta's had that safety. Great looking pistol.

Morgo · February 15, 2013, 11:43 PM

Cheers guys

I'm big fan of the frame mounted safety as well after using the Combat

Whoa, you can own a pistol in Australia?
