Great gun, Arrived fast as always with Buds. I have wanted this pistol for a while and i took it right outside to shoot. Very accurate and smooth running. Very pleased with this pistol and will be buying more from Buds.. I purchased this gun on the layaway plan that Buds had to offer, Ill tell you that this plan is awesome and never spoke with anyone during the three months it was on layaway. Had no worries about the transaction. So happy doing business with them. Thanks Buds!!!!

The bretta96 is a really nice pistol. Haven't had time to shoot it yet. Looks like it is a well built gun.

As usual Buds is spot on with fast shipping, great communication, and offering a great product at a great price. Beretta 96A1….if you know Beretta you know you are getting a quality firearm. Fit and finish perfect as usual.

I am happy with my .40cal, it is an accurate shooting weapon, it is a large semi-auto so not ideal for conceal carry, but for home defense it is an excellent choice. I configured mine w/ "G" de-cocking kit from Buds Gun Shop and added tritium night sites.

This gun has been amazing for years. Never, and I mean never jammed. Take down and cleaning are fantastic. Capacity hits just the right sweet spot. It is a classic.

Powerful piece of work. However, I didn't keep it long. Sold it to a friend that just had to have a Beretta. I preferred my Glock 22.

The 96a1 arrived and range tested it 2 days later. Fired 150 rounds through it. Wish it would have been made with factory standard with fiber optic front and rear adjustable sites. Will be getting a Vortex Venom on soon. The function of the pistol was perfect in every way. Nothing better than a full size framed handgun that's steel and aluminum giving better recoil control right from the start. Rapid follow-up shots are very controllable and on target. Would buy another Beretta for sure. Waiting for the import of the new 92x Performance 9mm.

Very happy with quality of this firearm and the service from Buds. This 40 is machined well no slide slop and trigger is good, will get better with more use. Beretta has made quality firearms for a long time.

First off, I've been a Bud's Guns customer for quite sometime now. Always very pleased with their business! This Beretta 96A1 made me fall in love with Beretta! This firearm performs magnificently out of the box! This gun is my new favorite pistol! I will have this gun for many years to come!

Bought this gun to send to Wilson Combat for full customizing. Nice gun to start with. Now it is a "WOW!" gun.

Exactly what I thought it would be. Will make an excellent Home defense weapon.

Hands down, the best semi-auto handgun I have ever owned. In the early 1980's, I really wanted a Beretta 92FS 9mm pistol but, since the military had just started using them, prices were out of my reach. 35 years later, the look, feel and accuracy of the 96A1 is equal to or better than the gun I could never own! Although a bit heavy (it is all metal), I have not found another handgun with better balance, more controlled recoil and better accuracy out of the box than this one. Easy to clean, not one jam or misfire in about 1000 rounds, I now have to compete with my teen daughter who can't wait to inherit this gun. Aside from a few revolvers, I cannot think of a gun that has stood the test of time like the Beretta 92/96 series. If you don't own one, your collection is not complete!

Buds was great, only took a few days for me to get this pistol to my ffl dealer. I've waited several months to do this review. Because I wanted to test this firearm and put different ammo into. The only changes I made was I took out the plastic guide rod and put in a stainless steel rod in. So after the hundreds upon hundreds of rounds I place through this warhorse. It has NEVER FAILED me once, not to feed or eject. This really is an amazing firearm. I like the reliability so much I don't mind the weight, and it's now my carry gun. Hope this review helps.

This was my first purchase from Buds. Had a very positive experience. I have now had the Beretta since February, 2013. It has been 100 percent reliable with all types of ammo. Not quite as refined as my HK USP .40, but it is still a great handgun. I have wanted a Beretta since I fired a model 92 when I was 13 back in 1986. I was just waiting for the .40 version to be beefed up a little and the 96A1 definitely delivers! Now if Beretta would release a .40 version of the Nano!

In love with my gun. this is my project gun so needless to say the weapon hasn't been fired yet but as soon as I have finished it I will take it to the range and post an update. I absolutely love buds! best prices, best service, best everything!!! you just can't go wrong when you choose buds. even with the transfer fee my purchases end up being better than if I bought them local! the only reason I have bought some of my guns from other places and not from buds was because those particular weapons weren't in stock at buds. But every chance I get I go buds. super fast and super reliable. anytime anyone asks where to go I tell em budsgunshop.com. Anywho, also purchased a beretta 92fs compact inox on here so I'll be posting a review for that one shortly. but simply knowing they're berettas and I got them through buds, I know I got nothing to worry about. keep up the amazing work guys.

Picked up my Beretta 96A1 at my FFL today, immediatly placed a satinless steel guide rod in it, and passed almost 100 rounds through the gun. All I know to say is...EXCELLENT gun... Bud's reallly delivered on this one, will use Bud's again...

What's not to like? The Beretta 96 is beautifully architected and is fun to shoot. I bought it from Bud's and, as usual, my experience was flawless. The pistol is one of my favorite guns to shoot. Has a nice design and fits great in my hand. It is incredibly accurate and comes nicely back to target and point of aim after each shot, and after the hefty recoil of the .40 round is fired. Nothing but good to say about this one. To be honest, this is more fun to shoot than my XD 3.5 inch conceal carry .40.
