Cougar, Mini-Cougar, 9000s, their carbine - For a fine shotgun maker, their aesthetic department concerning pistols could use an overhaul.... The Vertec is a nice handling gun, if a bit muzzle heavy. Certainly a huge improvement over the 92. Doesn’t hurt that they are a very ugly gun in company that has specialized in recent years to make ugly guns.

The feeling was that it did everything the Vertec could do, at a lighter weight and lower manufacturing cost. Keeping the Vertec in the line up would have been redundant, they thought. Of course, the Vertec was successful and the 90-Two has not been particularly popular. PAK — The 90-Two guns killed the Vertec.

I always felt they had the potential to be one of Berettas best pistols. What really killed the Vertecs? I always felt they had the potential to be one of Berettas best pistols.

My array of guns I train with: Glock 19 (primary training gun / carry gun / duty) SIG P220 (my gun for training DA/SA transitions) SP101 3" (Easier to train with than my 442) 1911 (unfortunately...) I'll work with DAO guns when they come around, but the methods I train for the DA/SA transition work well enough to adapt to the DA guns, and the training parallels revolver work in most cases. Glocks and M&Ps are easiest for me to train on and work with, but there is something amazing to me about that first DA shot when the technique arrives and the epiphany occurs.
