Some of my favorites...

Mine ain't as pretty:

Do you actually shoot those pretty ones?

 

[Arm]

Hundreds of rounds, upper one has a suppressor but, I seldom use it. I shoot it mostly naked. LOL

 

[Ameshawki]

Of all my 9mms (and I own most of them) I have more rounds through my 92 than any other.

I shoot it mostly naked. LOL

I have questions...

This is one I gave myself as a retirement trinket. I added a threaded barrel to accommodate a YHM Sidewinder.

No judgement here; however, do be careful with that hot brass flying about.

I carried 92/M9/96s at various times throughout my career. Beautiful and reliable but I always thought they were too big for the 9mm round and I disliked the tiny, integral front sight. I thought by adding a dovetailed front sight was a huge improvement. I currently only have one, a 92A1.

Totally unimpressed with the reliability and ergonomics of these bricks when I was in the service.

Now they’re gone to the Sig polymer 9mm. From what I’ve been told nobody misses the Berettas!

Your 92FS is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

Glenn, the M9 and 92FS were the perfect Service Sidearm, JMHO. You probably never listened to anybody who said positive comments about the Berettas. Sarge

I like the Beretta 92 series. I still have a department-issued 92F (that I paid for), a couple M9’s, a M9A1, a couple 92FS Commemoratives, a 92FS Type L Compact, and a couple 92FS Type M Compacts. I also have enough
spare mags. They’ll do the job...

My Made in Italy Beretta 92F. 1985 manufacture per AN date code on right trigger guard. Made in Italy ones have a two digit alpha code stamped on the trigger guard. Chrome lined barrel. The 92F was the model that passed US Military tests and was accepted as service pistol in 1985.Later the slide was modified to become 92FS. High capacity polymer frame pistols were not being made at that time. Superb fit and finish and action is as smooth as silk.Totally reliable.

Yes, the 92F remains an excellent pistol and takes no second place to newer guns. I bought one new in 1988 to use for cast bullet experimentation.

I lost interest in the 9mm cartridge a long time ago and seldom shoot my Beretta anymore, but these are fine guns that are well-built, accurate, reliable (will feed .38 Sp. cast SWCs without problem) and very safe.

The only drawback is, of course, their size.

Cool pistols…

Most folks seem to rave about them, but my father wasn't a fan either. He said he had issues with their reliability as well. EDIT: Those were with factory Beretta magazines as well.

Not really. Here are a few photos of a 92fs compared to other popular models of handguns.

There is a member here who tends to flip out every time I post the Beretta/S&W 65-3 picture. He has never said why, but it is obvious the guns are near enough in size.

Yes, really. Look at your photos. They're also heavy, but all pistols with large capacity loaded magazines are heavy.
