Chills1994 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yup, I heard it the other day at the gun store. But hearing stuff at the gun store is like hearing gossip anywhere else. A grain of salt. Anybody out there hear anything else along those lines? Chills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I heard today that Beretta is stopping stainless 92F's. They couldn't stop making 92F / M9!!!! They are coming out with a version called the Ninety Two (Not..92). But no details yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 IF they stopped, what is the military going to do. But then again, they probably have so many, it might not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If American Handgunner is to be believed, the M9 is to be replaced with a .45 ACP "commercially available" handgun. The notice didn't clarify what configuration or action type. The bid is for "up to 645,000" units on what is being called the "Joint Combat Pistol System". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Pretty cool... Which 45's are DA? 3.4.1. Action: The JCP shall function in double action/single action (DA/SA) or double-action only (DAO) including Striker-Fired Action (SFA) (T). The JCP should have a modular action mechanism that allows reconfiguration at the unit level without modification to the weapon’s major assemblies (O). http://www.fbodaily.com/archive/2005/09-Se...BO-00886351.htm Other: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys.../ground/jcp.htm Edited November 30, 2005 by BerKim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Sounds like they are headed to the gun that Gaston Glock builds. At over 600K units he can mark them up $50 over his cost and still rake in a pile of dough...and be way under the competition. If I recall correctly Beretta was compelled to build a plant in the US to produce the M9 when they got the contract (or as part of the bid process...I forget which). Given the change in the way things are done now I wonder if that rule is even still in effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Stoeger Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Chills, I think this is just some gun store BS. Edited November 30, 2005 by Ben Stoeger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) No rumor, much truth... All .40 caliber model 96's are discontinued All Vertec models discontinued All Elite models discontinued All combination Vertec/Elite models discontinued Regular blue 92's will contiune in the line. I'm not at the office and I don't recall about stainless guns, I will have to update this post later. New model 90-Two (yes, spelled out) is on for 2006 as are a few other 92ish models. Beretta has also discontiuned all 8000 series guns last year and the 9000 series appears to have been canned for the fourth or fifth and final time. New PX4 pistols appear to be the next generation from Beretta. Edited November 30, 2005 by Middle Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tewlman Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i believe that HK and Sig are also in the running for the new contract not sure who else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Wow, almost sounds like Beretta is either revamping their ENTIRE line of handguns or cutting back their business a lot. Hope this is not a financial decision. I'll have to look into the PX4, I havent heard anything about it. I hadnt heard anything about the military going to Glocks though, where'd that come from. Not that I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a Beretta shooter & do not own one. However, those models seemed to be targeted towards our sports: USPSA & IDPA so I think it is a loss that they are being canned. If I were to buy a Beretta, it would be the Elite II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 To follow up my last post (now that I'm in the office) All 92/96 series in stainless are discontinued New 92/96 series models are -M9A1 blue suggested retail of $850 -90-Two Type F 9mm blue suggested retail of $798 -90-Two Type F 40 S&W blue suggested retail of $798 As stated regular 92FS blue continues...
