The department’s current Beretta handguns are more than 10 years old, and becoming obsolete, making replacement parts nearly impossible to come by, she said.
I didn't know it was hard to find replacement parts for Beretta 92s

I guess when you're talking to "reporters," you can say anything at all about firearms and they will print it.Quote:
Reynolds said police firearms are in high demand because they usually are well-maintained and only fired during training exercises.
Definitely cool historic guns, but not many will be able to afford $22K+collector's markup.
I had a modern semi-auto Auto Ordinance Thompson back in the early '90s - drum and all.
Fun range toy, but heavy as hell and eats like a draft horse. Traded it for my first AR.
When I inherited mine from my grandfather and was going through the process of transferring it to my trust ATF told me that there are only about 700-800 tommy guns that are available to be legally transferred according to their guidelines. 22k might not be such a bad price....

Saw this article the other day. It would be really awesome to have one and would be something that goes up in value. I'd probably spend more than $22k on ammo to feed the thing.
So, what you're saying is.... that MP5 binary trigger is going to wait? :DQuote:
