Gun Beretta Nano 9mm $384 shipped

Quote from splchevete : How much does a dealer usually charge to accept this gun and transfer this? I have guns now, but only bought when I walked in and picked it out.

My local FFL charges $20. He's a police officer that does it on the side at home. Some stores and pawn shops will do it, but are generally more expensive. Check out the FFL Dealer Locator on GunBroker.com if you need to find someone in your area (mine turned out to be in my neighborhood

thank you

Someone needs to stick a fork in this thread ... it's DEAD!

Any chance getting one with silencer?

=)

Quote from GTeye : This and the S&W Bodyguard .380 are fantastic CCW weapons , sub $400.

This is what I have, and love it. Got it for $250. I've toyed with the idea of getting the Nano as well, as I prefer the 9mm ammo since it's a bit cheaper.

i see alot of these gun threads on SD. i have a question why are these small handguns always so expensive in America, theyre like 400-600 bucks for a handgun not even a rifle which cost over 1000 bucks. this country is the worlds top producer and exporter of small arms so WHY are they so expensive???? this country has produced guns for over 200 years with many innovations, lower costs and larger output due to economies of scale, etc but why are they still expensive? a handgun should cost about $100 and a rifle should be $500, yet this isnt the case. handguns and rifles are CHEAPER in almost all other countries. so why the hell are they so expensive here? is there some federal goverment tax or tariff that keeps the guns prices ARTIFICALLY high?????? does the goverment prohibit mass production of these guns beyond a certain quota to keep supply LOW while demand is high in America????? anyone know? thanks

FFL fees vary from state to state, and often even between FFLs in the same state or town.

Some states have mandatory fees and taxes, others don't. Here in CA FFLs charge anywhere from $35 to $150 to process an handgun similar to this (as noted earlier this gun can't easily be purchased in CA, although if you really want it there are ways to legally get it - but it's not easy).

The ONLY way to find out what your FFL charge would be is to call around and ask.

I don't think this is manufactured in USA.

And yes, there are numerous tariffs and taxes on firearms.

Also, this gun probably costs more than $100 to manufacture. Glocks cost about $80, but their machining is a whole lot simpler than this, plus they have the economy of scale.

Not to mention that currently there's huge demand, many manufacturers are months behind delivery with backed up orders.

AFAIK, a great number of handguns are made outside of the US. Springfield has a contract for over 2 milion handguns with HS in Croatia, Glock is made in Austria, Beretta in Italy, etc. I dont actually know if there is one US made handgun that is top of the line at this point.

Prices have little to do with cost - the price is just what the seller has agreed to exchange said item for.

You can buy handguns for a couple hundred bucks, they just aren't the sexy brand names - maybe they are as good, maybe they aren't. You can also buy ugly rifles for a couple hundred bucks as well - again, not the sexy, uber tactical assault weapons, but they are available.

does this one jam like every other 9mm in the history of berreta? Not that women ever dig it out of their handbags in time to shoot.

Quote from m3nphls : do they ship to NY?

Yes ...to an FFL Dealer, it's below the "new" 7 round magazine limit

Transfer fee ranges from $25 to $35 in Upstate NY. Be sure to call the FFL to find out if he / she will accept the transfer.

Quote from theboot : I don't think this is manufactured in USA.

This is manufactured in Accokeek, Maryland along with the Neos and some Model 92's (at least on the pistol side of things).

I've had a Beretta (notice spelling) PX4 Storm Compact chambered in 9mm that has taken any round I could shove in her, and asked for more! I've blasted through close to 300 rounds without a cleaning ... and she still went BAM. No FTF's, FTE's, FTL's.
Because you may have experienced one firearm in your lifetime that didn't live up to your expectations, doesn't mean the whole company produces bad 9mm firearms. Pretty sure Beretta isn't the oldest manufacturer of firearms by putting out the trash every year.

Quote from sarge587 : Dude You just need to move out of that oppressive state

Thanks for your sympathy, it just ain't that easy.

I called my nearest FFL that was listed on there site, he was really nice and said it was 40$ total to transfer it, not to bad. thanks
