The Beretta 92 series of semiautomatic pistols operates on a short recoil, delayed blowback system, which yields; faster cycle times, exceptional accuracy and greater reliability. Double/Single action provides a very safe and timeproven design. High-capacity steel magazines are durable and drop-free when the magazine button is depressed, even when empty. Chrome-lined barrels provide extreme corrosion resistance, as well as ease of cleaning. Barrels also feature a deeply recessed combat muzzle crown to protect the rifling.
The Beretta 92FS, designated M9 by the U.S. Military, not only meets or exceeds all U.S. Military testing guidelines, it totally rewrites them. One of the most tested and trusted personal defense weapons in history.
I picked up the M9 22LR, with two squeezes I was sold on the 92FS. Found the best deal here, shipped quickly. First time at the range was no a disappointment, just like the 22LR within the first two squeezes it was a smile inducing happy time. The weight of the frame is just enough to help manage recoil without giving you a shoulder arm amd wrist work out. The manual safety is smooth and easy to operate. The mags, are snug and so far 0 issues feeding. The sights are easy to see. Shooting Winchester White Box at 25ft held really good groups. May update after testing a few other types of ammo.
I do love my 92fs. The fit and finish are superb. The steel frame just denotes quality. I gave it 4 stars for performance because it does malfunction at times when it’s the slightest bit dirty, as pointed out by another reviewer. And don’t worry about the one star review. I see that reviewer is from Chicago where they hate firearms so that person most likely doesn’t have much knowledge about weapons. Anyway, the 92fs is a great, solid weapon.
High Quality pistol. Fires and cycles so smoothly. This has become one of my favorite pistols....
This gun is what a handgun should be. It is solid. It is built tough. Yes, it is heavy. But the action is perfect and the recoil minimal. And, it is dead on accurate. The double / single action has a real unique feel that you can only appreciate when you fire the gun. If SHTF, this gun and a Ruger AR 556 FI will grab.
The trigger is not durable and after around 500 shots in past 18 months, it is not functioning now.
