Beretta 9000S - still made?

[Jcordell]

As far as I can tell it is no longer in the Beretta catalog, but that really doesn't mean much. I can think of several S&W revolvers that were made on a limited basis for years - even decades - and were never listed in the company catalog.

An outstanding example would have to be the Model 48. I don't have my copy of the Standard Catalog of S&W by Nahas and Supica with me so I'm going off of memory regarding the numerical designation. Anyway it was a K frame 22 caliber revolver with fixed sights. Never cataloged and made for the U.S. Post Office and (I believe) the U.S. Coast Guard for training purposes since it was basically a Model 10 only in 22LR. Both organizations used the M&P/Model 10 back then.

Anyway anybody have any info about the 9000S. I never cared for it's ergonomics, but I would like to know if Beretta got rid of it or if they sold the design to another company like they did with the Cougar.
