Anyone played with the ATI Beretta 92 Clones?

[Robenstein]

I see a place has the American Tactical Imports Beretta 92 Centurion clones dirt cheap. Thinking about getting one for the girlfriend as she likes both my Beretta 92FS and my Taurus PT92AF. Anyone handled or better yet shot one of these ?

No link to the place selling em. They have em for 299 brand new though.

Here is the pistol I am talking about at Buds, but they are out of stock there

Why are you buying your girlfriend cheap stuff. Did you also get her a ring from a gumball machine?

Buy her a Beretta.

I personally wouldn't buy a gun from a company that had the word "tactical" in their name.

Well the place that makes these in Turkey have had Beretta licenses before. There is cheap and there is inexpensive my friend. For instance the Stoeger Cougar is the SAME gun, made on the SAME machinery as was the Beretta Cougar, but since they moved the production to Turkey to make room in Italy for the PX pistol line, it is half the price.

American Tactical Imports is just the importer, not the manufacturer.

Is there an Academy Sports around you? They have been selling Beretta 92L's for about a year.

Not inexpensive, though.

Nope...and its just a plinking only gun so Im not gonna spend a ton of dough on something that kills only paper. She has a shotty for defense at home.

I don't know anyone who has that gun but I've seen it in action on the range, shoots better than "just a plinking only gun". Looked like it shot as well as any Beretta/Taurus 92 that I've been around. I would say the gun is ok unless there's known quality control issues ?

I see those ATI clones in every CDNN catalog I get. For the little money they cost is VERY tempting. I miss my M9 I was issued a lot and this would bring back good memories.

 

[Robenstein]

Yeah its close to a 92FS/M9 but its more along the lines of a Centurion model they used to make.

Yesterday I fired 50 rounds through the 380 ACP version http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_859/products_id/411539849. The gun shot well, is accurate and fit & finish is nice. I would say these guns are well worth the money...but...I don't see any of these listed on the ATI website.

ATI stopped importing them it seems. Still lots of them in the pipeline though.
