I saw a used Beretta 9000 today at my local gun shop for around $250. It seems to be in very good condition, and at a good price. Does anyone here own one or can give me any information about one? Thanks
I have a Beretta 9000S and have had it for some time now. I bought it new and have one 12 round and two 10 round magazines and each one has the pinky finger rest. After some break-in time this pistol has never had a FTF/FTE problem. It is easy to shoot all types of 9MM, but use just the cheap FMJ stuff at range. When I conceal carry it is loaded with Federal 9MM +P+ 124gr. Hydra-Shok JHP. Also as with most Berettas it's easy to field strip and clean. Holsters may be hard to find but I use a Don Hume NO.53-145, this leather belt holster also fits some other pistols I carry. Some shooters find the grip a little too big and the safety/de-cocker a little stiff, but for me a very good match. Now seems to be the time to buy one since the price is right at most venders. Take a look at them on GunBroker.com Online Gun Auction and cdnnsports.com
also visit the beretta forum, but the proof for you will be to hold one and fire it, Good Luck...

I bought one used last night at my local gun store. They have a indoor range so I had a chance to shoot it before I brought it. I didn't have any problems with it at all. It fits in my hand great and I like the open top design like the Beretta 92 has.
I think the Beretta 9000 is a pretty accurate handgun (for its size) and pretty reliable. The only gripe that people have are how it feels in their hands. If you like how it feels, then I think it will serve you very well.
Thanks Moph, thts the lowest price I have ever seen for Beretta Mags.
Glad to be of some help, I also got three extra magazines for my S&W 3913 and it was as good a deal as the ones for the Beretta. By the way did you get the pinky extension for the magazines ?

It came with it, one 10 round mag that had the extension, and one 10 round mag that did not. All together I got the gun, the two mags, gun case, leather holster with all the paper work for just, $250.00. I have shot about 100 rounds so far and it shoots great.
