This EDC came to us listed as “NOT for EDC.” The owner doesn’t say whether he actually lives in California but he does say it isn’t for EDC “if you want to stay out of jail in California.” The gun is a Beretta 92FS, a DA/SA semi-auto chambered in 9mm. According to Beretta this model […]
This pocket dump includes a Beretta Cougar 8040, a gun more commonly known for being produced by Stoeger (remember, Stoeger is owned by Beretta). The gun is chambered in .40 S&W, DA/SA, and manufactured with ambidextrous de-cockers although some people do choose to modify it to a single control. It’s also known for its rotating-barrel […]
Tyler says this Beretta M9A3 is his daily carry. You don’t see a lot of M9A3s for EDC due in part to their size; this model is 8.7 inches long and 5 inches high. It also weighs 33 ounces empty meaning you’re looking at more than two pounds of loaded, holstered gun. Sidenote: is it […]
Last year TTAG editor Dan Zimmerman was able to spend some quality time with the Beretta APX. His review of the gun laid out the basics, including the modular serialized chassis system and the overall excellent ergonomics of the gun. TTAG’s been looking for a deeper dive into the performance of the platform ever since, […]
Craig in Pennsylvania carries an M9A3, the gun Beretta modernized for the Army’s Modular Handgun System contract competition. He says “I loved my MPA3 but the long threaded barrel made it a little bit less than comfortable. I was able to pick up another M9 barrel and have it cut and crowned to Elite II […]
I’m afraid we might be seeing the end of the Beretta ARX100. I hope I’m wrong, but its price has hit rock bottom, with sellers offering the rifle for as low as 50% off MSRP. But why? The ultra reliable ARX100 sports an impressive list of standard features. It has a folding and collapsible stock. […]
Press release from Wilson Combat [via ammoland.com]: The 92G Centurion Tactical merges our award-winning, high-performance Brigadier Tactical enhanced frame with a shorter, 4.25” Centurion slide to create the ideal everyday carry Beretta 9mm pistol. The 92G Centurion Tactical features all-steel Beretta and Wilson Combat custom parts. Some features of the limited-production 92G Centurion Tactical include […]
Mark calls this his Sunday walkabout carry. With a light, a bland and a very pocketable tilt-barrel Beretta, he should be able to walk about just about all day long. See his gear at Everyday Carry . . .
This year at SHOT Show we got a sneak peek at Beretta‘s new “Off Shot” hearing protection line. Included in the lineup is active electronic ear pro with bluetooth connectivity, ambient sound amplification, a 32 dB NRR, and impressive [rechargeable] battery life. Oh, and that’s all jammed into a lightweight, in-ear earbud design. It ain’t cheap, but […]
As I understand it, Tikka is the more affordable line from Finnish manufacturer SAKO (both ultimately owned by Beretta Holding S.p.A., along with a whole lot more), but is still definitely a precisely-manufactured, supremely accurate bolt gun. New for 2017 is Tikka’s T3x TAC A1, a chassis gun that appears to be geared very much towards […]
In a sea of plastic mouse guns, the decidedly old school Beretta Tomcat stands out with its Inox (aka “stainless steel” for those who don’t speak fluent Beretta) slide and forged aluminum frame. While this makes it thicker and heavier than a modern injection molded pocket pistol, it pays dividends elsewhere. In fact, the 3032 Tomcat […]
Despite rumors to the contrary, Beretta told me that the Army/DoD absolutely is reviewing Beretta’s ECP, or Engineering Change Proposal, for the M9 service pistol. The hope is that the M9A3 comes close enough to hitting the requirements proposed in the competition for a new MHS, or Modular Handgun System, that the Army and Air […]
