Model 92FS
The Beretta 92 was the third of three models introduced in 1976, and it evolved through several variants to become the most popular. The 92 is a double-action weapon firing the popular 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Although it looks similar, if larger, than the 81 and 84 models, it’s actually somewhat different in design, featuring a short recoil action rather than simple blowback. In the United States, 92-series pistols are used by more law enforcement agencies than any other autoloader. Two early versions, the Model 92 and 92S, were adopted by the Italian and other militaries, but have since been discontinued. In 1980, Beretta submitted the 92SB to the U.S. army, which was looking for a service pistol to replace the aging M1911A1. Beretta beat out several competitors and won the contract, but some further modifications were required, resulting in the 92F. The first variant, the 92S, differed from the original in the placement and design of the safety. The 92SB was the next evolution, incorporating an ambidextrous safety and moving the magazine release to a more ergonomic position. The 92F version, accepted by the army, changed the shape of the grip and trigger-guard to more easily accommodate two-handed firing. An even later version, the 92FS, added a slide over-travel stop. Several other variants have been developed, with minor mechanical differences. All (except a stainless steel version of the 92F) are coated with “Bruniton,” a Teflon-based protective coating, and all except the 92 and 92S are in production. The 92-series pistols have done very well in commercial sales, in addition to heavy military and police orders. They are frequently seen in movies and TV shows, as well.
