    I'd wear the shit out of a $12k watch.
    I'd probably never handle that pistol without white gloves, much less fire it.

    In the grand scheme of factory new production "bon vivant" items, a $12k watch is still pretty low on the totem pole, whereas a $12k pistol is pretty high.

    It is pretty hard to take this gun seriously...basically a shiny M9 for $12k. I would personally go for a pre-86 Class III.....at the same time maybe you would feel different seeing it in person. Quoting from https://www.reddit.com/r/GunPorn/comments/2mm1pm/beretta_92_fusion_60_made_3_years_to_deliver/ :


    "A bit of both, walnut and carbon fiber grips, walnut inlays, steel construction (not alloy like the new ones), single action trigger, lower profile sights than the 92fs (and the front is removable, not that anyone's going to change it on this one), and the production run is between 60 and 90, I thought it was 60 total, but someone was saying it was 90, so today I'll try to get a photo of stamp.
    The thing feels like god is holding your hand."

    "Very very limited production, it took 3 years for the 2 we ordered to be delivered! Being a single action pistol made out of steel, probably? The joke around the store was it needed a good kydex holster and some Wolf reloads, and maybe a fiber optic sight and some rubber grips."

    "Someone made this weapon, because they loved it and made a vision their reality and ours. I respect that so much. The details show you how special this thing really is. What a beautiful pistol."
    I've seen $30,000 rifles/shotguns and noone flinched! I've even seen $300,000 shotguns. I was merely reflecting on and agreeing with vaqueros post that people are ridiculing this gun because it is a beretta.

    Having spent a fair amount of time in retail in a store with high dollar merchandise I can say that there is ALWAYS someone willing to spend the money on expensive stuff!

    I think it's based in a very shallow perspective of certain business dealings.

    A $12,000 Panerai or Breitling is going to play multiduty on my wrist, quietly aiding visually and placing me on the same level as guys two or three times my age with 10x the success without me having to open my mouth. That way when I do speak, I dont have to preface it with my resume and my breath isn't wasted on deaf ears, thus contributing to the deal I want to get done or the job I'm hoping to get coming to fruition.

    A $12,000 pistol, from a business perspective, is going to require a much more intimate setting to talk about it, and an even more open environment to show off. Even then, whether someone understands the value or not, is entirely based upon their knowledge of firearms.

    I would t know a $12,000 watch from a $120 watch. Or the $120 watch from a Walmart watch.

    Beretta is one of the most reputable high end brands out there, albeit for their shotguns. If anyone is in the Dallas-Fort area, check out the Beretta Gallery. You'll walk out feeling you're in need of an African Safari trip. I'm sure the pistol is beautiful, but I could never shoot it... Ever. And if someone attempted to steal your watch, you couldn't use it to defend it.

    Don't bother. Savage has an opinion of everything. Especially when he's jealous.

    Jealous? Lol no. Beretta elite shotguns are $4,000 and they have fake wood grain. Completely overpriced.

    I love my 1600 dollar Beretta shotgun, sure is smooth. Got to admit this elite ones look real nice. But this 92 doesn't even have custom engraving. Beretta could have set the price at 2000, manufactured 500 and made allot more money. Still don't get it.

    To me...a shotgun is a shotgun is a shotgun is a shotgun. They kick like mules and accept chokes. That's all they need to do.

    How is a Beretta really worth a thousand more than a Yildiz? Or a Remington? Or a Mossberg?

    I see you're function over form. I am, too for most things (more and move at I get older). I can tell you the Kick Off system alone is worth it. Kicks about as much as a strong fart. I've shot just under 500 rounds in a day, couldn't feel it the next day. My arm was more tired from holding the gun that long more than shoulder sore.

    And Beretta Elites aren't even CLOSE to top end for Beretta. First time I ever held "wealth and power" in my life was a Beretta shotgun, valued at just under $70,000. It sure was pretty, but more than I'd ever be willing to spend (even if I had that kinda loot). I couldn't own a gun I wouldn't be willing to take to the range and shoot. They had some 6 figure ones, too, but they were hands off.

    Much like the beautiful 92FS in this thread. Pretty, but way outside my willingness of budget.
