Where can I buy a Beretta M9 brand new?

Question

The Reason I want one is because I don't feel safe ..There's been a lot of violence going on around here. Can anyone tell me what I need to buy it? How much do you think they cost brand new?


Yes I know how to grip a Beretta ...


I dont want to kill anyone so if you think a Beretta is too dangerous do you know a better pistol to get?

Also What Calibers of pistol ammo can a 18 year old guy get

Answer 1

you cant buy one at 18! you have to be 21



But you could get a "hot" one of the streets but your not going to know what they used that gun for!



hand guns on the street usually go for about 200-500 dollars depending on what kind

Answer 2

Hey Yahoo answers people: When he asks about the gun being dangerous, my guess is he means "Is this a safe gun to own?"



There Beretta is a very safe design, but safety is more about the user. The best way to keep is safe is to not load a round into the firing chamber. The next best way is to load a round, then press the saftety lever down. This will dec0ck the hammer. After the hammer is down, you can leave the safety lever down or move it up. It is safer to leave it down, but you must remember to move it up before you try to shoot.



Brand new, probably $600 to $700. I've seen good used ones for $500 around here.



The age/ammo restrictions are not based on caliber, they are based on what gun the ammo is for. Rifle & shotgun ammo at 18, handgun ammo at 21. However, there are some rifles that shoot handgun ammo. Therefore, you cannot legally buy 9mm handgun ammo from a shop but you can buy 9mm rifle ammo from a shop.



As a note: if you're only concerned about home defense, look at shotguns. You can get a nice Mossberg 500 for under $400 brand new. A shotgun is much more powerful than a handgun and easier to shoot. The only disadvantage is the size. (It is a little hard to carry a shotgun in your pocket, glove compartment, etc.) Even so, most places restrict Concealed Carry permits to people over 21.

Answer 3

It sounds to me like you're looking for a cell phone and a stun gun.



One of the most basic rules to firearm safety is never allow the muzzle of the gun to cover something you don't want to destroy! If your life is being threatened you need to meet that threat with deadly force. This means using something like a firearm! If you're not looking to meet a threat with deadly force than stick to a stun gun and call the police.



Also keep in mind, pulling out a firearm just to show someone you have a gun hoping to scare them off is called banishing a firearm. This could put you behind bars and cause you to loose your Second Amendment Rights. You need to also check with your state and local laws. They may not allow concealed carry in your area. So you could be commenting multiple offenses.



This isn't a video game people.



Be safe.



PS, Don't quote me but the M9 is a Military issued firearm. So I'm not sure you can buy one brand new but could be wrong. If not, the Beretta 92FS is pretty much the same exact firearm. I own one my self and love it. I would come more suggesting a new person to firearms owning one instead of something like an XD or Glock. Now also, the Beretta has a wide grip. If you got small hands you may want to look into something else. I'm a huge fan of the 1911, they can get pricey but have a more narrow grip. Just something to think about.

Answer 4

at 18, you won't be able to buy any handgun from a FFL.



if you can find a private party with one, then you can buy it from them (try gun shows), though, provided you have all the necessary paperwork / licenses in order.



the M9 is the designation that the military gives the gun. the civilian version is the Beretta 92-FS.



there is no restriction as to what type of ammo you can buy, but the 92 is a 9mm pistol.

Answer 5

Are you really serious? You want a gun that only injures and doesn't kill? Kid, that's what guns are designed for, nothing else. They are supposed to kill people. You've been watching way too much TV.



With stupid questions like this you have no business owning a gun. First of all, you're too young, only 18. Second, you're woefully ignorant. Wait until you are 21 and then enroll in a shooting instruction class. After you've done that then MAYBE you might be ready to own a gun, but not until.

Answer 6

At 18, you can't get any pistol legally. You have to wait until you are 21. With statements like "I know how to grip a Beretta" and "I don't want to kill anyone" you have no business owning a gun until you do a LOT of reading and a LOT of thinking.



If you aren't willing to kill someone, don't buy a gun. ALL guns are deadly, so it's not like you can go out and buy a less dangerous one!

Answer 7

With a name like G.O.A.T (gangster or a thug) don't be surprised with the negative answers. This is the hunting section and we will not help a gangster find "9" to bust a cap in someone. I'm not saying your concern over personal safety is void or wrong. Just don't expect to much help. The other answers are correct. You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun by federal law. Being in California it might be even stricter.

Remember, self-defense is mostly about avoidance.

Answer 8

If you want cheap and new, you might want to look into a Taurus PT92 or PT99. If you insist on having a Beretta, buy it used. Go to a class 3 dealer if you want a suppressor and have them order one for you. See if they can thread the barrel on the gun as well.

Answer 9

So you want a gun for self defense, but you don't want to kill anyone? That makes no sense at all. You shoot to stop the threat, not to wound and not kill. If you are in fear for your life you shoot to stop the threat, whether the bad guy dies isn't anyones problem but the morgues.



Plus you can't buy a handgun at 18, you have to be 21.

Answer 10

Just to clarify, you don't have to be 21 to OWN a handgun under federal law, you just have to be 21 to buy from a licensed dealer. After that you have to deal with state laws which may be more restrictive.



That said, you don't sound like you're mature or knowledgeable enough to be trusted with firearms yet. Seek some local adult guidance.

Answer 11

Ah the 2d amendment; anyone can ...



Take an NRA course. Knowledge and competency are power. Gun controls being able to hit the target.
