Small(er) Bretta

[bigzebra]

Greetings Beretta junkies! Let me start by saying my department issues us Beretta 92D’s, with Trijicon night sights, etc. They are very picky about what we can carry off-duty, and they do allow other models of 9mm Berettas.

The other day I was a Bass Pro shop just looking over the pistols, and low and behold, there was a miniature version of my gun! I’ve been looking at smaller guns because, frankly, my full-size 92D can’t be hidden really well. I’ve browsed Beretta’s website, and didn’t see this gun.

I’m curious if any of you know if this gun is still manufactured and if it is, know if it’s available in DAO? This would be really helpful, as the guy behind the counter at Bass Pro was not (I asked him if the night sights were included with the gun, and he replied that there were no night sights on it, as I was reading the Trijicon label :freak: ).

Thanks!

edit: I am also looking at the Sig 239, but I like the idea of having the consistent fetures of simmular weapons.

The Sig 239 with DAK trigger, is in fact DAO, but very smooth (feels like a nice S&W revolver trigger).

did it look like this one?
I got this Beretta 92G Compact L with trijicon sights from BPS a few weeks ago.

Yep, that's it! Is it new? and can they be modified to DAO?

Thanks!

P.S. How much was it?

This model has sadly been discontinued and it was really only marketed to LEO's thru LEO dealers.These are just over runs that were never shipped to dealers.The sights are marked 99 so they aren't really bright anymore but the good part is that the front sight has already been drilled so replacements are easier and maybe cheaper to get installed.
Yes it can be modified to a DAO by simply removing the sear pin,sear,sear spring.

There's a couple of compacts and a custom carry on Gunbroker.

Thought about a Cougar? Very similar controls and feel of the 92. I have both.
