Normally $499, on sale at Sportsman's Outdoors Superstore for $379, and after Beretta’s $100 rebate, this pistol came in at $279 with tax. That’s what you’d expect to pay for a Taurus, not a Beretta. I switched from 9mm to .40 and .45 about 20 years ago, and this was my first time going back to a 9mm. Straight out of the box, it was dead-on accurate. The grip and feel are amazing; I swapped out for the larger backstrap as the medium was a bit too small for my hands. The red-optic front sight was extremely easy to pick up, and the ability to keep the barrel on target round after round was Glock-worthy.
The only dings I have are that the springs are really tight in the slide and magazines. The slide is actually difficult to lock back at times, and I got three feed jams over the course of about 200 rounds. I attribute that to the newness, and hopefully, it should loosen up over time. If it does, I will be happy to change my rating from a 4 to a 5.
Feels great in my hands and fits perfectly. This was a really good price, especially on sale, but unfortunately, the slide release gets stuck so often and so badly that it takes some force to get it unstuck.
