My father was having major surgery a couple of years ago. I ended up selling a Beretta 92 Compact M Type to raise enough money to get back home. At the time I thought I would buy another one when things improved financially for me. When I got a better job I trotted down to my local gun shop to replace my beloved M Type only to discover that it had been discontinued by Beretta.
I tried a couple of different guns as replacements but nothing else would do. I finally found a used M Type that I was able to work out a deal on and received it a couple of weeks ago. It isn’t in nearly as good a shape as the one I sold but I’m still thrilled to have one again. I’ll rehab it and cling to it for the rest of my born days.
