High Quality Beretta 92 Clone Girsan Regard 9mm 19 round capacity
Ron at 641-373-3731
If you don't know yet, Turkish gun companies are and have been producing extremely high-quality firearms at incredible prices. I have a semi auto 12 gauge and a pump 20 gauge besides this Girsan 9mm, all made in Turkey. They are all of exceptional quality and operate flawlessly. I have always liked the looks of the Beretta 92 and that is the only reason I purchased this one. I did not want to pay the Beretta price. I prefer 40 caliber and have many pistols in that caliber. I am going to purchase the Beretta 22 Long rifle in this same model, this week, so I am selling this one in order to consolidate calibers since this is the only 9mm I own. It is practically new with exactly 30 rounds through it. It includes one 18 round magazine, cleaning brush, lock and case. 19 rounds is a lot of bullets for a 9mm pistol. It has three dot sights and the rear sight is drift adjustable. The safety is also a de-cocker. It is very simple to take down. Several reviews online report that the finish is much more durable than the Beretta and that the quality is higher. My price is firm at $395. Thank you.
Info from the web...
Buying a high quality firearm requires alot of research, knowledge, and sometimes money. The first two, in my opinion, are definitely necessary in order to prevent making a regrettable purchase. The idea that more money equals more quality is starting to fade away, in my opinion. The Girsan Regard imported by Zenith Firearms is one such pistol that proves that you don’t need to spend alot of money to get a good product. The Girsan Regard is basically a clone of the legendary Beretta 92F design, but with a couple of obvious differences. This Regard that I am reviewing looks alot like the Beretta M9A1 if you were to look at the specific frame design where it thickens around the rail area. Girsan is an expert at reverse-engineering already good designs. The basic focus of Girsan, when it comes to the Beretta design, seems to be ergonomics and general controls. One of the things I most appreciate about Girsan and their work is the fact that they are always chasing military contracts, and therefore you are always getting a Mil-Spec product. Girsan is ISO 9001 certified and also holds certification in Industrial Quality Assurance, which means that their manufacturing has to conform to Turkish military quality standards at all times. Girsan also does some NATO-like tests to their pistols, which they use to establish standards for durability and performance.
The Girsan Regard shares alot of the best qualities that we have come to love in the Beretta design, except it is missing a few of the updates that improved the safety and reliability of the design like the oversized hammer pin. This tiny little upgrade helps keep the shooter safe if the slide should ever break and decide to go rearward into the shooters face.
Most of the internal components on the Regard are interchangeable with Beretta parts. The only difference is the barrel and locking block. The angled locking block on the Regard make it unique and prevents you from dropping in a Beretta barrel. The grip of the Regard is one of the biggest departures that were taken from the Beretta design. With the big smooth finger grooves and the vertical serrations on the rear of the grip, it gives the feeling that you are getting a better grip on the pistol. In reality, the grip is the same size as the Beretta grip with only a few changes like the amount of rear serrations. The controls on the Girsan Regard are a slight separation from the Beretta in that they seem to be slightly larger than the Beretta controls. This has allowed me to manipulate the important controls, like the frame mounted safety, with greater ease. The magazine release, however, is probably the only control that was not extended or changed much at all by Girsan. But, as with the Beretta design, it is reversible, which is convenient. I noticed that the safety lever on the left was slightly more extended and elongated, and the edges were not as dramatically rounded off compared to my Beretta 92FS. The safety lever seems to be nice and positive in it’s actuation, which is a definite plus. The right side safety lever does not seem to be extended by any means. In fact, the right side safety lever seems just a tad smaller than the one on the Beretta. The finish of the pistol seems to be a Nitride finish. It takes alot longer to wear the finish of this pistol.
A Refined Beretta 92 Clone Brought to You by EAA and the Craftsmen of Girsan.
When the US Military adopted the Beretta 92 and designated it as the M9 turning it into the primary side arm for the US Military, Girsan made some improvements on the design. In doing so the Girsan Regard has been the preferred side arm of Turkish Military and Law Enforcement officials for many years. The Regard is a NATO approved sidearm.
