just paid for one in "very good condition" for 300, because i wanted to pair it with my m92fs, which is my favorite handgun i own, and probably my favorite firearm i own. I was really close to getting a girsan for a bit more, but i decided on the 84 because it was on sale for $100 off on psa.. i also really wanted an "antique" pistol. i hope it isnt in shit condition, lol but we'll see. if it is, ill try to replace as much as i can on it. a little wear and tear isnt any issue, but it seems to be hit or miss no matter what condition its advertised in.
I just bought one 3 weeks ago in “very good condition”. Mine was definitely in that condition. The finish is 90% i would say. A few nicks that were easily fixable. It was definitely shot less than 500 rounds easy judging by the internals and wear. I did need to be cleaned up though when I received it. So far, i have bought some spare springs and the OEM Beretta wood grips that make the gun look a 1000% better. Im actually going to shoot it Saturday. Overall an amazing deal at 299.
i just got one from PSA. Mine came in what I'd call "very good" condition. the slide, barrel, bore, guide rod & recoil spring all are in excellent shape. The lower frame & grip were in very good; some finish flaking on front & back of grips & the rear of the beavertail was worn bright & slightly roughed up. FIxed that with some Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black touch up pen. Do NOT use Birchwood Casey Super Black - it doesn't adhere to the aluminum frame lower. Will work on anything on the steel slide though if you needed touch up on that. I ordered more brand new Beretta 13 round mags. Shot it once; feeds Hornady American Gunner JHP and ball FMJ ammo fine but on multiple times the slide would lock back with still one round in the mag; looks like the mag spring isn't lifting the final round up fast enough. Trigger is better than my Beretta 92FS. Sights are hard to see but doable. I got a Azula leather OWB holster (LH) for it. I'm happy with what it is.
@@athappyhiker much appreciated on the tip about aluminum black. I actually have been considering touching up the finish both on this and a couple of other aluminum-framed guns.
@xm1774 the finish was almost perfect and the gun is gorgeous. It easily has the least wear of any of my surplus / police trade-in guns. I only saw the very slightest amount of wear on two edges of the gun. If you get the same quality as the one I got then it is unquestionably a good deal.
I ordered mine from psa for about 325 after shipping and tax. This will be my first beretta and I feel like I got a good deal. I've never heard anybody speak ill of beretta.
PSA has a sale right now. Ordered one in "Very Good Condition" for $300. (340 after taxes and shipping, and transfer will cost me another $35 so I'll be at 375 for this)
@@touofthehighplains this is true, I did take some measurements as a comparison. The Beretta is shorter in overall length and height, but wider in the grip and slide… Beretta is much lighter though. Thinking of ordering a pair of the slim grips, supposedly they make a world of difference.
@@XDMIIIIIIIIIthe only Beretta 92 I have for comparison at the moment is a 92S, but the width of the grip is nearly identical (with factory grip panels, but the Lok aftermarket grips are noticeably slimmer), the 92S grip is noticeably larger in height and in length front to back. So even with factory grips, the 84 is overall smaller in most dimensions.

Nice pick up. May have to add one of these to my collection.
@@Mr.9x19mm not a bad idea, they probably won’t be getting any cheaper in the long run.
PSA has them for sale for $299 today. With tax and shipping, my cost was $344.
Did see that. Hell of a deal!
How was finish and wear on the gun ?

@@xm1774I got two of ‘em….I’d say one was in VGC, the other was GC….I’m happy with both.
Just ordered one

Did you get the shipping warranty?
@neft5449 No. That's without it.

How did it come? Condition wise? I saw some photos in the reviews and I'm not yet convinced
Did you get the shipping protection?
35$? Oof should be 20$
Does anybody know a decent IWB holster for it?
Sargo has shoulder holster for 39 bucks..
@dougshelton69 I'll check. Thanks!
The grip just feels fat for being a 380. The cz82 grip is slimmer. The newer 80x is tiny in comparison.
