The last two iterations of the Beretta 92 are the 90-TWO and the 92A1. Each of them has a recoil buffer which, I am told, will protect the gun from some degree of recoil induced stress.

At this point, each pistol has its devotees and detractors. Obviously, more practice and more comparison is required on my part - so I guess that just means I need to shoot more . . .
