Excellent video... thanks... A question about the magazine... with the groove to prevent the cartridge from contacting the mag wall, is the new mag thicker than the old one? Thanks Hi all! Here's my take on the pistol the Army passed on. Be sure to let me know what you think! Howard |

Great video Howard! Really want to see how it shoots for you.
It looks great, though they certainly come at a premium, and I get what you say about the plastic parts.
Looking forward to the final verdict.
Thanks for posting!

Looks line a keeper! I would be interested to see what you find with the sights/adjustment. I have very limited experience with the berettas, but two of the three had the rear sight off center to the left from the factory about the same amount. Almost as if intentionally not pressed quite all the way in.
Just centering the rear sight in the slide brought me on target, would be curious to see if it is the same for you.
Thanks for sharing!

Stay tuned! A follow-up video dealing with just that subject will be coming in the near future! Howard |

I had one the commercial Baretta Mod 92's many years the 1980's ago. I didn't like it. The grip was too big for my hands. It felt like I was holding on to a small tree. The CZ-75 and High Power fit my hands perfectly.

The CZ-75 and High Power fit my hands perfectly. If you happen across an M9A3, you might what to see how it feels with the smaller Vertec grip. I think you'll find it fits your hand much better.

Thanks Howard I don't have a M9A3. I was just reminiscing on the Baretta 92 I had many years ago. My wife would not be happy if I came home with an M9A3.

Hi Howard, I recently put together this Vertec with an LTT slide and trigger bar. The first couple range trips reminded me of your reviews and this thread. The grip was really awkward at first and I had the same shift in poi. I wound up seeing what I could do with grip and stance and wound up bringing it back on target. Overall, I’m real happy with the gun. I just gotta figure out if I want to continue to adjust my hold for this one or try out one of the grips with the wrap around back strap. The short trigger also needs to go. Anyway, thank you again for posting all these great videos! -Chris  |
