Pete, the 96 generally sells for a good deal less than a comparable 92 on the used market.I'm in the market for a beretta 92 yet see a NIB 96 for a decent price. I want to talk myself out of it for a couple reasons although I enjoy the 40 round the same as 9mm.
Yep and I assure you at seven yards and in, you won’t remember recoil if God forbid you have to use it.You've just committed handgun heresy. Everyone know the 9mm is the cartridge Du Jour, or at least that's what all
The trade off is the .40 is not ammo dependent. Any round is a butt kicker. If you could only get FMJ, you still have a Delta Force proven caliber. Resale is not a factor for some of us.Pete, the 96 generally sells for a good deal less than a comparable 92 on the used market.

The 9mm had been the cartridge du centennial.You've just committed handgun heresy. Everyone know the 9mm is the cartridge Du Jour, or at least that's what all the cool kids saying...
Sure I would agree with that, but I just can’t imagine being in that situation. I wouldn’t use FMJ in any caliber.Agree with all but the 9mm fmj comment. I certainly want to avoid having to use FMJ as a self defense round if at all possible. That said, I’d feel much better with .45ACP or .40 if there were no other choice but FMJ.

This one is going for close to $400 unused. I only have $ for one purchase at the moment and wanted a 92 prior to buying anything exotic but I could see just grabbing the 96 if I talk myself into it. I was after a 92 inox yet this eludes me at this time. Also heard the 96 with straight dust cover is prone to cracking after a while.When
