I got my Beretta 92FS!

I was a Resident Evil dork in highschool. While reading one of the novel adaptations by SD Perry, the author would regularly name the guns, and the “Beretta” was one I kept in mind. When I got my first gun, I didn’t see any Berettas on display, so I got a Glock 34. Several years later, I’d sold the Glock for rent money, and I’d gone on that “adventure” that most older transwomen like myself go on.

Cut to last year, I’d been full time me for a decade and the political climate had been emboldening strangers in my direction. I went to my local gun shop and I found a Beretta 92FS with the S.T.A.R.S. emblem on the grip. I got a different gun because I was looking for an edc, but I’d found the Beretta! So this year I bought it for my birthday.

This is a base model 92FS. I’m excited to slowly upgrade parts on it, and blow 40,000+ rounds through this apparently super reliable full size duty pistol from the 90s!

The second photo is the one I found in the shop last year.
