On the outside of the grip panels, it's 1.29". Here's a few pics comparing it to a Beretta Minx .22 and a Beretta PX4 mag. The frame on the 92 is thinner than the mag of the PX4. Prices vary, but these are in the $500-$700 range depending on condition, accessories and your desire for such a pistol. I paid $450 for this one and it was a STEAL!!!! Mags aren't cheap at about $35-$50ish and forget ever getting a set of factory grip panels for it. Most parts are interchangeable with the 92 series, so luckily, it's still possible to get parts if needed.

I'll see if I can get a pic up later. The single stack mag makes it much thinner than the full size. There are quite a few compacts in teh 92 series

92FS compact L (13 round double stack shorter mag)
92FS compact L Type M (8 round single stack mag)
92FS Centurion (shorter barrel/slide with standard frame)

They also came in D and G models and there was a Custom Carry before the CCII. The Border Marshall has a shorter barrel/slide but is a full size.

Finally brought my new CCW home!!

Well, my wife suprised me and told me she was buying my next CCW for me. I had put it on layaway to pick up after I got done traveling for work this month but she insisted I drive her to the gun shop and pick it up. She's one in millions!!!

I've been looking for this little gem for what seems like eternity. It's a Beretta 92FS Compact L Type M Custom Carry II. They're about impossible to find and this one was almost flawless. Appears to be unfired, but I think it has at least a mag through it. Came with two mags but I was able to pick up two new ones reasonable cheap (considering their rarity). This 9mm has a single stack, 8 shot magazine with finger rest baseplate. Other features include stainless barrel/slide, Novak sights, right side safety lever cap, slim grip, straight dust cover and short barrel/slide with flat main spring cap. Traditionally DA/SA with a safety decocker, it will give me a decent option for carrying and after putting it in the BladeTech IWB form HighVelocity tonight, it's about as comfy as my Kahr in a MS VMII. Slightly heavier with a little more width, but nothing a cover shirt couldn't fix. Without further delay, my wife's early Christmas present to me:
