New Beretta 92A1

These guns have a set design it's like the 1911 the design will not change very much. All they have left is marketing to another nitch. Beretta has to make money and keep overhead low since they changed very little and raised the price once people start buying Beretta will make some good money on their original base design.

Beretta has been in the firearms business for 520 years and, unlike many, has learned to stick with what works--like Browning and High Standard did. The open slide is far less likely to jam (except for stove-piping, which is a shooter problem). The Model 92 design is a proven performer; I just wish it was made in .45ACP (don't like the Storm). I've owned a S&W 9mm and was glad to get rid of it; I understand that their current offerings are much better. And I have shot many others but the Beretta fits my hand and fit my need when I needed a reliable 9mm.

As a shooting hobbyist, I am not real interested in attaching a flashlight to a pistol, but if you are going to do that, it may as well be a 92F.

The rail craze seems like the proverbial answer to the non-existent question; a feature mainly useful as a sales aid to those marketing to law enforcement. JMHO
