Description:
The Steel I was basically built by Beretta to push the limits of their ability by building the finest 9X Series Beretta pistol there is.  For many it’s thought of as the highest quality pistol Beretta ever built.  The fit, finish, and attention to detail are excellent and this gun is considered by some as the masterpiece of the 9X Series.  These pistols were produced and imported in 2004 and 2005 only, and even that was on a limited basis.  This firearm is new-in-the-box, unfired, manufactured in 2005 with date code "BZ" on the right side of the frame.  It comes with all original paperwork, manual, cleaning tools, Beretta lock and the original plastic case.  I do not have the original outer cardboard box.  Current pricing:  $2595 or best offer...

Specifications:
  • Ambidextrous Frame-mounted Safety: can be carried cocked-and-locked
  • Loaded Chamber Indicator
  • Frame and Slide: carbon steel with a mix of polished and matte nickel finish, slide is a heavy Brigadier-style slide with reinforced lock-up areas
  • Barrel: Polished nickel finish with chrome-plated bore and chamber
  • Vertec Grip Frame: thinner front-to-back with a straight back strap, front and back straps are fully serrated
  • Skeletonized Lightweight Hammer
  • 3-Dot Sights: Novak Rear Sight, front and rear sights are dovetailed into the slide
  • Trigger: SINGLE-ACTION-ONLY (Variant 1), adjustable for both pretravel and overtravel
  • Magazines: 2 Factory mags, 10-round capacity
The last photo is a shot of Beretta's basic description of this firearm pulled directly out of the Owner's Manual.  Don't let this one get away!  This is one of the rarest of the 9X Series and will surely appreciate over time (as it has already).

IMPORTANT!!!: I have listed the magazines as 10-round mags because Beretta's literature says thats what were shipped for the US market.  The mags show a window for 11 rounds but I don't have any 40 S&W ammo to test actual capacity.

Inquiries via email are the best way to get in touch with me as I work full-time during the day and don't have access to my phone during those hours.  This also allows me to address inquiries in the order that they are received in order to give priority to the earliest ones.  Shipping will be assessed based on actual shipping costs plus insurance.
