Beretta 92 FS

92 FS

The Ultimate Handgun.
It’s not an official title, but it perfectly describes the Beretta 92FS hand gun.
Selected by a multi-national roster of defense and law enforcement organizations, each pistol must pass a battery of more then 3,000 quality control check and measure that includes complete interchangeability of parts before leaving the factory... and proven in the field in countless defensive confrontations, the 92FS is in all respects the “ultimate”.

High Definition Sights

92 FS Vertec

92FS. A legendary Firearm.
The most tested and trusted personal defense weapon in history.
The 92FS, designated M9 by the U.S. Military, not only meets or exceeds all U.S. Military testing guidelines, it totally rewrites them.


Chamber Loaded Indicator

Precise, Safe, Reliable.
92 Series handguns are semi-automatics and operate on the short recoil, delayed locking block system, which yields a faster cycle time and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability.
Each features a lightweight, forged frame made form aircraft-quality aluminum alloy.
All 92 series handguns feature unique safety refinements.
On FS models, the manual safety also functions as a decocking lever.
A firing pin block secures the firing pin.
The chamber loaded indicator is visible or can be felt by touch.

Three Operating Systems.
Beretta offers a choice of four operating systems, each with specific safety options:
FS - Double/single action, external ambidextrous manual safety, decocking lever, trigger bar disconnect, rotating firing pin striker, firing pin block device.
D - Double action only with no safety lever (“slick slide”), firing pin block device.
G - Double/single action, external ambidextrous decocking lever, rotating firing pin striker, trigger bar disconnect, firing pin block device.
All models feature a “chamber loaded” indicator.

1) Open Slide Design. Open top slide virtually eliminates jamming or stovepiping. Allows the user to load the chamber one cartridge at a time should the magazine be lost or damaged.
2) No Glare Finish. Beretta’s exclusive Bruniton non-reflective matte black finish is a superior corrosion resistant coating.
3) Automatic Firing Pin Block. The front part of the firing pin is blocked from any forward movement until the trigger is pulled completely back. Even if the pistols falls and strikes the ground, muzzle-down, the firing pin will not strike the primer.
Bereta 924) Ambidextrous Manual Safety. Easily accessible by the thumb of a right- or left-handed shooter, it is spring loaded so it’s either positively “on” or positively “off.” The safety lever on the slide also functions as the pistol’s decocking lever. When pushed down, the rear part of the firing pin (striker) is rotated out of alignment with the front part of the firing pin. (Does not apply to D or G Models).
5) Sure, Firm Grip. The front and back of the grip are grooved, and the grip frame is flared slightly at the base to enhance pointability and control.
6) Reversible Magazine Release Button. Positioned next to the trigger guard for either right- or left-handed shooters. Allows rapid reloading. Magazine drops clear when released.
7) Light Aluminum Frame with Combat-Style Trigger Guard. The trigger guard is squared off and grooved for a firm grip using one or two hands, even when wearing gloves.
8) Disassembly Latch. Conveniently located to simplify field stripping and maintenance, the latch makes the 92 FS one of the easiest guns to disassemble.
9) Unique Ultra-Safe Design. The safety levers on the slide also function as the pistol’s decocking levers. When pushed down, the rear part of the firing pin (striker) is rotated out of alignment with the front part of the firing pin.

 There is a wide array of 92 hand guns from which to select, each with unique features.

2011-11-02 Loved it when first issued it in 1988 (USAF SP LE). Never saw one jam, ever. Heard the b.s. but never saw it or spoke to anyone that had. Always felt more secure with more ammo on hand. Now years later, I have it in both blued and INOX. INOX needs gun grease, but flawless otherwise. 350 rds no probs. Blued, 450, no probs, ever. Fits me perfectly and I stuck a CTC laser grip on the baby. Extreme confidence. Shoots everything. I like Gold dots, and PDX1's. Don't believe the b.s. stories and get the high cap mags. Love them.

2011-01-25 Have shot approx 5,000 rds in 4 Beretta 92 models without a malfunction. I don't even worry about malfunctions anymore. Shoot 'em, inspect 'em, clean 'em, fix 'em if required. End of story.

2010-02-09 one of the best handguns iv ever had to use in combat 5 star rateing under pressure only had one locking block failure not bad many rounds fired before failure

2010-01-29 I own several Beretta's and one in particular I bought brand new in 1992 is an Italian model 92fs Inox, not one misfire of any kind and I still carry it to this day. It's been one of the best investments I've ever made. I've read several reviews and some complain about the grip being too big or talk about all this slide failure nonsense. The slide issues were fixed when the gun frame was redesigned in the late 80's. As far the grip being too big, they make all kinds of different guns for small people, if you're a carney midget, then this gun's not for you. As far as Glocks go, I've never fired one and never will, I've seen and heard about too many frame failures where people's hands were mangled to even consider test firing one. In the event of a "Kaboom" would you rather have a plastic case or an aircraft aluminum case to protect your hand? Nuff said.

2009-12-13 Good gun my favorite 9 mm. Shoots all my reloads hollow points ,flat points ,FMJ . Never had one jam accurate too. One thing I replaced was the plastic recoil spring guide rod to a stainless steel one .
by gunner
2009-10-27 Ive done some research and the whole reason they switched over to 9mm was because the Nato rounds vs the 45. cal or even 38.cal where and still are less expensive more accurate and more lethal and please correct me if I'm wrong and I'm also think of buying a a 92fs i heard the US Army just signed a new contract for the 92fs as well
by Brandon
2009-08-09 looks like an awsome weapon I hope to get one soon
by kevin
2009-08-07 to each his own, the 92fs fires 16 rounds in in a heartbeat,with extreme and easy auto dead on sight leveling ,it sports a 15 round clip + 1 in the chamber I would not want those hollow points blazing @ me.. also the 1911 was standard sidearm for marines before its ejection from service. I had one as well , after 10 feet you can watch the round dive for the deck. unreliable, gun ALWAYS jammed after a few meager clips, we all hated them, hump,, how strange its now replaced by the beretta 92fs,.. and I;am not sure but don;t most all police depts, use it as standard sidearms. Well go figure ...do the math crunch the numbers and you will find like all the rest, it is the ultimate side arm. .ask any marine, uh field marine, one in combat..Not Majors..
