I scoffed at the Beretta 92 for yrs. My father just passed and I inherited a few guns and the Beretta 92 was one of them. I've been running it as of late. Smooth as silk
I qualed on the Beretta in the USAF first in 1989. Bought a 92FS in 1991 and still own it. It's built like a tank (and weighs almost as much), but is really a joy to shoot. The 92 series are fantastic pistols - so much so that I recently added a 92FS compact to my collection.
I recently purchased a 92FS compact (non-railed version) made in Italy. It's every bit as good as my original full size 92FS. I've seen that some of the railed compact versions have a plastic guide rod and trigger. I assume they're US made. The Italian versions still use steel for both.
Matthew B I find that the current guns are as good as ever and maybe better in terms of locking block design (yes, I have one built in 1990 as well). You have some plastic parts now but they're easy to swap out if you don't like them. In the last decade, Glock, Sig, and others have taken a dive in quality. Beretta is the only one (short of custom type guns like Wilson) besides maybe HK that has maintained they're quality in my experience.
In The CA ARNG we didn't get the M9 till the 90's. We always had the ARMY's left overs. Not any more thank God but we still had the M3 grease gun and the 1911 pistol in inventory for our tank crews in the early 2000's but finally got the M4's around 2003. I love the M9/92FS. Carried one in the Sheriff's Department and in the CA ARNG. Good vid. Thanks.
Great video and review!! I bought the 92fs Inox as well as the 92a1 together. My first reaction after shooting them was the same as yours! Brilliant PERFECTION by the world's oldest firearms manufacturer. Immediately the Beretta 92 became and still is by far my favorite fire arm. I also have a Sig Sauer p2022 357 sig which I love but the 92's....man...I could go on and on.
I did get a double feed with mine. I was not shooting it when it happened. I gave it a shot of CLP and it didn’t happen again. Love the finish. Very slick. The action is so smooth. Recoil is great. The trigger is very long and heavy. I’d probably carry it with one in the chamber safety off. Pushing the safety forward is weird for me. I can do the forward press check by pinching the sloping cut near the front of the slide no problem.
If you don't like the safety, take it off safe. Problem solved. I now have 4 92/M9s and love em all. They don't know how to malfunction. Well, there was that time I accidently loaded a round backwards in the mag. Silly me. Thanks for the vid.
I have 2 -- 92 fs Berettas. One is the "United We Stand" model made for 9-11 and proceeds donated to 9-11 victims. The other is the INOX version, a beautiful gun! I replaced the spring with the "D" version and dropped the double pull to about 8lbs and the single pull to about 4 lbs. Also you can just load a round and turn the safety off-- as the double action pull is still high enough to prevent accidental discharge. All in all a great firearm.
I love the bruniton finish. Its like a Teflon style of blueing. Looks quite good and is one of the more durable types of finishes out there. Wish the M9A4 was available in that finish. Also worth noting, you can pinch up front of the slide where it tapers and rack it that way if you want to, as well off of the rear sight one handed on a table or belt. I think the safety is good, especially if you are going to carry the gun appendix style and/or in a cheap generic holster that isn't specific to the gun. Its a reassuring layer of protection to the user. You can make it decock only with a G style parts kit, which is how I think it was originally intended to be made for them and the safety was a request by the U.S. Army and they just rolled with it mostly ever since. Some of the new models of 92 are type G from the factory.
I actually had a stove pipe within the first 20 rounds, & went "oh crap", but never repeated since. I always wanted one since the mid 80's, after bad luck with various name brands, I'm very satisfied. I'm not a striker fired fan, & prefer hammer fired pistols with as little plastic as possible, & insist on a double action first round for personal carry comfort...
My 92FS is abit large for me to carry daily. I don’t have large hands either. But my 92 fits my right hand perfectly. I don’t mind the safety-decocker, even though I tend to inadvertently engage the safety when racking the slide at times (something I need to keep training on that). I’ve since upgraded it with a fluted steel guide rod from Wilson Combat in place of the polymer one. Makes it feel more evenly weighted. I bought mine for $550 before tax several years ago . Mine is a police special; surplus from some local law enforcement entity. So far, it’s been very reliable. I don’t mind the heavy double action trigger pull. I’m left-handed but shoot right-handed. (Gotta love cross eye dominance!)
The difference between the 92F and the 92FS is a channel in the slide to prevent it from flying off when, say, you're a large organizational customer and you decide to start feeding it proof loads, and put 10k rounds through it. Also, if you don't like the safety on it, consider getting the G conversion - turns the decocker-safety to decocker only.
Im training with a new inox i purchased a few weeks ago. Upgraded the recoil rod to steel. Don’t know why they went with plastic for stock.. I know most buyers wouldn’t mind the extra 20$ to have that option as stock. But it is no doubt a fantastic machine.
Why plastic? Because the rod is not under any stress that requires metal. It is just a guide and it doesn't bend or stretch. They also use them in Fanboy favorite Glock.
Beretta 92FS owner since 1989 have never seen a stop pipe malfunction on a Beretta 92FS. Guess there would need to be an issue with the extractor for that to happened. The Beretta 92 FS was never designed for concealed carry, buy the compact. It's a full size duty that's had a lot of success over the years. With all these striker fired pistols with many options now a days. People have become spoiled, these didn't exists when I started collecting in 1983. What did I do? Learned to adapt.
Beretta's are my favorite sidearm BUT as a security policeman '74-'78, we only carried the S&W model 15 in .38 caliber. No 1911's in our inventory, at all.
i did a shoot and review as well and got the same accuaracy at 15 yards with lee cast 102gn bullets. they are very accurate for a production gun, i love mine and carry it as a duty weapon.
Glock is 25 oz. that 8 oz. difference makes a big difference when shooting. The 92 shoots with a much softer impulse, within+p 9mm the 17 can get a bit snappy, not so with the Beretta.
Donald Weber As super manly as you my be when you shoot premium HST +p through both guns accurate follow up shots are faster with the Beretta and there is less muzzle rise. When fractions of a second count this can be an issue.
You are obviously a right handed man (like myself) and also appear to be shorter in stature. No offense intended here. I’d like to point out that you did a good job of hitting your targets and that proves that the gun is truly accommodated people of all sizes without any necessary accomodation. As a 92FS owner I like to see good reviews because I know this gun is reliable and I’m reliable in being in control of it.
Hi, You said you have small hands, you feel comfortable to handle and shoot this gun. How small your hands are relatively? Do you feel okay to handle a Sig P226 ? Just curious. Very nice video, BTW. Thanks.
I bought a Beretta 92 I can’t hit a target at 20 yards with it paid $650 for mine brand new what’s going on with that gun seems like a shoot very low. I love the looks of the gun. I love the filthy gun, but I cannot shoot this gun. Very good at all. I’m not the best with pistol. I carried a Glock 21 for five years when I put the sights on something with that gun and pull the trigger. The bullet went where it was post to go. I’ll pay $650 for a Beretta 92. All is good for is to look at and turn it into a paperwhite. I want to get a hold of Beretta tomorrow and see what I can get done at the sights on this gun does not move and I cannot hear the broadside of a barn with it. I was going to use this gun for my primary carry gun, but I cannot do that because I cannot hit with it. It’s a shame I could take a $300 Taurus TX 22 and hit everything I’m shooting at take a $650 Beretta 92 can you hit a target size of a brick at 20 yards somethings wrong with that
Do you have the newer generation of 92fs? because ur gun sound a lot of metalic than mine..... mine has plastic trigger and it sounds like sheeeet, any idea?
It's common for the 92fs to have polymer parts including the trigger. You can order steel replacement parts from Beretta if you prefer it. www.berettausa.com/en-us/beretta-factory-92fs-steel-parts-trigger-safety-levers-recoil-rod-mag-rel-/e00706/
marryson123 the polymer parts depends on which 92fs you have (and year built). made in Italy or made in the usa, easy way to tell is the grip screws on the USA made model have a flat head screw and the Italian version has hex screws. Mine (usa made) has no polymer parts. Hope that points you in the right direction.
Nice video. Get a 92G, it's a decocker only, that's what I have. Also if you like it, get a Beretta PX4 Storm G model- no safety, decocker only. Yankee Marshall has some vids on making the trigger better. Get the "D" hammer spring. Trijicon recommends a MI company (30 minutes from my house)to drill out the front sight and place a tritium night sight. 8^) tooltechgunsight.com/product/beretta-9296-a1/
And better, you no longer need to look for a "G" model, as Beretta sells a kit to make all Beretta 92's a "G" model. I have an M9, 92G, 92FS, 92A3, and a 96A1, so just a few. The locking block design is one borrowed from the Walther P38, of German WWII heritage. :)
Wrong wrong model 10 .38 was used I was in the first unit in the military to receive not any other was 3906th SSS not many Air Force used the .45 the M9 we were the first of all the military to get these
I had just shot this specific model at the range earlier I love how accurate it is and how there is little to no muzzle flip when shooting it check out my video and subscribe please thank you
This guy is dangerous, he is going to hurt someone or himself as he kept waiving the pistol around and even swept himself numerous times in the video. Also, if you want night sights, talk to Gary at Amerigun in Michigan (talented gunsmith), Amerigun is on line. Gary did a great job machining/ dovetailing the front of the slide on my M9A1, installed Trijicon night sights front and rear.
I am reshuffling my home defense guns, and I am making my Beretta F/s as my primary weapon backed up with my S7W 686 + .Good presentation.
I've been carrying a Beretta 92 FS for 15 years as a Police Officer.
I have no complaints with the fit and finish of Beretta firearms.
I wonder why most agencies don't use them anymore. such a nice gun.... glocks are nice too but there's just something about the beretta that appeals so much to me.

The beretta 92 is an amazing gun. If I was limited to only one handgun, this would be it.
Same here....I have several of them.
1911 is better
Me too I still have my 1911 but after using it for a while I would trust my life on the beretta
I scoffed at the Beretta 92 for yrs. My father just passed and I inherited a few guns and the Beretta 92 was one of them. I've been running it as of late. Smooth as silk

Just about every police force and military around the world that I can think of is equipped with 92FS. Yes, it is the king of 9mm.

It's a gorgeous firearm. I wish I had the funds to get one.
Pawn Shop is the way to go, that’s how I found mine! It was in perfect condition and a great price!

X2. Just leave a round in the chamber, safety off. Had mine since '89, no regrets.

Always wanted one of these! Maybe soon.
I sometimes appendix carry a 92FS, but I do it with a trigger guard holster. Personally, I use the one from Incognito Concealment.
Best handgun for me , I trust it for home defense as much as my Mossberg M590A1

I was in Security Police 74-78 and besides the 16, gau and xm148, we carried the S&W model 15 .38 revolver. Good video btw.
.45 in the USAF in the 80s were for very special use such as bodyguard most were model 10 4 inch and snubnose for general and special situations
i did a shoot and review as well and got the same accuaracy at 15 yards with lee cast 102gn bullets. they are very accurate for a production gun, i love mine and carry it as a duty weapon.

I can see you really like this pistol......my son just got one called Inox.....dont know what that means ...looks like stainless to me
Yah, sounds like that's stainless. Great looking pistol.

Great video! I like your stuff!
Beretta 92fs the Ferrari of pistols...
Very informative video😊
You can get tritium sights as a factory option
Hi, You said you have small hands, you feel comfortable to handle and shoot this gun. How small your hands are relatively? Do you feel okay to handle a Sig P226 ? Just curious. Very nice video, BTW. Thanks.
They also sell in poly!
For about $50 you can get parts to make it a decocker only and solve your safety issue.
Brian Cox thanks for that, I plan on picking one up next week to add to my other 9mm’s. Where can I find that kit ?

Shit... that's some gun porn right there. Great video.
It is not "delayed"... the action is "short recoil".
always wanted one. never understood why police stopped using them. I like glock but beretta is still a cop gun to me.

I didn't have two to compare. It sounded like metal on metal to me.
