What do you think of the Bretta 9000 Series?
Gander is asking $349 for one new? Good deal?

I don't like them. The grip is super fat.

Also, even among super Beretta fans at the Beretta Forum - the gun gets mixed reviews. It works 100%. But, ya either hate it or love it - no middle ground, as others have stated...

The safety lever is stuff, and it is prone to breaking off of the slide. That is a common complaint.

I wouldn't get one if it were me.

But if it is comfortable to YOU and U don't plan to manipulate the safety, then why not.

I have one, a 9000s if I remember correctly. Yes, the handle is really fat compared to the rest of the gun. It has shot fine for me, however, I don't like it near as well as 92's or 96's.

On gun sites, they do not appear to be well liked.

What do you think of the Baby Eagle in the 9?

They are supposed to be good guns, but heavy.

CZs and CZ clones never did it for me - but others love them. So, that's about all I can say.

Have you checked out the Stoeger? It's a $700 Beretta 9mm for $350.

Yea, I like that one better too, but it is bigger.

If you're dead set on a beretta, try the PX4 that came out a little while ago. They've got a great grip, and they're supposed to be pretty decent pistols, not too pricey either. I almost bought one and I don't really like Beretta all that much.

The 9000 is junk as far as I have heard and actually my buddy on the force says they call them tomb stone guns ! He said this is because they have an issue with the retaining pin breaking after so many rounds? Then the slide flies down range and lands erect in the ground like a tomb stone marker. Nice right ? The baby eagle nine's are awesome and operate with flawless reliability. I own five of the baby eagle's, 2 9mm, 2 40 cal and one 45 cal. I have never had a problem with any of them. The only thing is they are heavy as they are a full metal gun, they do offer them in polymer now, but I looked at and held a couple of them and they just didn't feel right. If your going to spend $350 on a gun for the range, buy a Ruger P series, they function well and for $350 new they are a hell of a gun. I actually own about 15 Ruger P series, I use the different calibers in these pistols to practice at the range as not to wear out my glocks.
