"....Any idea as to the approximate cost of the weapon?...."

If you mean my Baretta 92FS.....my wife and kids chipped in for my birthday and I bought the 92FS, made in Italy, in stainless steel. Cost was $699.

Being Italian by descent, I just wanted the Italian made gun. I have talked to a LOT of military and LEO folks who tell me there is no difference between the Italian and Baretta USA versions. The only reason Baretta set up shop in Maryland was to keep up with their contract with the US Military to supply the 92FS as the standard M9. Same gun.

You can get a non-stainless version for less than $500. Also check out the M9 commemorative version with special grips and markings for around $599 at Bud's Gun Shop.

Here's a real nice 15 round Italian made 92FS in blue steel:

Thank you for the great tips....and the pricing. (I’ve got to put a few more $$ away before I head for the store).
