Aftermarket support is dying, I couldn’t find the upgrades I wanted, lots of parts are sold out 😭
Few things going on:
Basically every gunmaker is prioritizing making full guns over making parts available, because the guns are selling (to distributors at least.)
The Italian factory only makes certain things in batches every couple of years from my experience.
Beretta Italy in particular probably prioritizes defense and police contracts over consumer sales.
The hayseeds at the Tennessee factory are still trying to figure QC out.
The Beretta 92 is stronger than it has ever been with how many different models and clones are out now, I’d say.
I love my Beretta 92s, my favorite handgun bar none.
It was the right choice to retire it from the military though. The locking block is a failure point that simply doesn’t exist in other guns, and a polymer framed gun is the right choice for the weight savings, as we continually load our troops down with more shit.
Is the P320 a good replacement? Ehhh…
