Which Beretta Model?
Which Beretta 92 model(s?) have the receiver mounted manual safety? Where it is not mounted on the slide.

If you want a Beretta go for it. It's certainly a classy gun.
If you just want a shooter don't forget the Taurus 92 and 99 (the 99 has adjustable sights). They both have the safety on the frame. They don't have the prestige of a Beretta but IMhO they shoot pretty good. |

I had a very early (1970s production, I think) 92 that was surplus from South Africa, IIRC.
It had a frame mounted safety and could be, if desired, carried cocked and locked. Never should have sold it.

Just a FYI, the Taurus PT-92 also has the frame mounted safety.

If you get a regular 92, Centurion or Compact, switch to a 15lb mainspring for easier DA pull.
And if you don't get a G model, add a G model decocker to the safety. This will simply make it a decocker, not a safety, and the lever will not stay down but spring back up each time it's used. Otherwise, don't disregard the 8000 models, either Beretta or Stoeger. Well worth a look. |
