- I have a blue 92-AF and it is very accurate, the first time that I
- took it to the range, I shot the bullseye from about 15 yards on my 6
- shot. (giving that I had never shot a 9mm before)
- I bought mine new for $350. its a great gun. fits in my hand nicely
- and has a great feel to it. (it sounds like I am talking about my
- girlfriend's you know what!)
