Absolutely beautiful pictures of some very attractive guns. As my user names suggests, I'm a fan of Italian art. Which the 92's are, to me.

My 92FS has over 34,000 through it. It still shoots like it was new out of the box.

In the process of installing thin Vertec grips on mine (not as easy as it sounds). My hands are average and the factory grips are too much wide, like gripping the fat end of a baseball bat. The 92 is a sexy bitch and worth the effort ... plus, a long - term fan of Beretta!!!

Love my Beretta 92F. It was given to me as a Christmas present in the mid 1980s. I carried it as an Armed Security Officer before I became a Dept. of the Army Civilian Police Officer. There we were first issued S&W 64s then switched to the Beretta. I was sent to the Beretta factory for an Armorers course and was able to make a few changes to my personal Beretta. Now retired from federal service I am back in private security and will be qualifying with my old Beretta in a couple of weeks. I have 100% faith in the Beretta. So much so I teamed it up with a CX4 Storm carbine as a home defense duo.

I don't dislike the 92, and I shoot it very well, but IMHO it's just too darn big and bulky for a 9mm.

I very much enjoy shooting my 92A1. I spent years being a SIG fanboy and thinking the Beretta was subpar with little hands on experience. I actually prefer the Beretta now. I’ve added some LTT parts and some Beretta parts as well and it’s probably my favorite 9mm to shoot. My only regret is I didn’t tape the slide when I did a sight install and the pusher marred up the slide failed easily. If someone has a recommendation for a refinish I’m all ears.

Bought my first 92FS and four mags from a guy named Lewiston on this forum. Great guy to work with and the pistol is absolutely fantastic. I love shooting it and it's my daily carry.
A few days after I picked it up from the FFL, someone else on this forum sold me nine mags for it and they've been fine as well. A few years ago, I finally bought a 96A1 and it's a pretty zippy gun, also very nice. I'd collect them all if I had the $$ to buy that much firepower! --Wag--

Beauties. I am currently on the hunt for an M9A3 and was hoping prices would have come down by now, but of course circumstances are not favorable at the moment. It really is the ultimate evolution of the 92 concept to date, although not as beautiful as the classics
And again, when I finally get my A3, it will be made in Italia.

I have more than a few 9mm auto pistols but one of my favorites is my Beretta 92 FS. The only beef I have with it is the permanently affixed front sight. I wish it at least was mounted in a dovetail, like some variants of the 92 are.
In terms of the pistol being "...too darn big and bulky for a 9mm"; I agree with bac1023, "...it's a full size gun, nothing more."

I have no doubt the A3 pricing would have come down by now if we were living in normal times, although of course we are not. Especially for ammo and certain tactical (and tacticool) firearms which have become both very rare and expensive...

1992 Beretta 92 FS was the first centerfire auto loader I ever bought. Shot lots of M9s during my Navy days.
Good pistols. |

All of this… pure filth. I am not the worlds biggest Beretta fanboy, but they make some nice firearms. I wouldn’t personally own a 92…. Maybe a 96, but those still look freakin sweet!!

I recently picked up my first Beretta 92: a 92G-SD. I've thrown a Langdon Tactical Trigger job in a bag into it, and like the feel.
I haven't had a chance to shoot it much yet, but it feels suprisingly good. That said, I think I still like the feel of my Taurus PT99AF a bit more, due to the frame safety only. BTW [Jetinteriorguy and Hawg], the PT99AF made before 1991 [or 1990?] is frame safety only. After 1991, the design changed to decocker on all of the Taurus PTseries. The difference in PT92 vs PT99 is not decocker, but adjustable sights on the PT99. Taller front sight and adjustable rear. PT92 is more like the Beretta front sight that is part of the slide. |
