Frame Design and Ease of Takedown

Trigger, and Accuracy

I bought the model 92 fs vertec about 3 years ago. I am a big fan of the frame/grip style and dimensions that are very 1911 feeling. I also give A+ to the Stainless finish. It has handled some pretty rough use with no signs of a problem. The aluminm lower and stainless upper works very well with both weight and wear characteristics. Cleaning is a breaze as takedown is as simple as can be (unlike my 1911). The sights are large white dots and are easy for my old eyes to use. For my purposes, an upgrade is not necessary. This is not my home defense/night time use weapon.
On the negative side, the gun holds far fewer rounds (12) than should be for a larger gun. It should easily hold 15-17 rounds. When new, I found the trigger to be mushy and creepy, breaking differently on every pull of the trigger, even after 500 rounds were fired. The gun was thoroughly cleaned after 50, 100, and 200 rounds, and an upscale penetrating lubricant used after each cleaning.
I sent the gun out to my gunsmith for an action/trigger job after 500 rounds. I should have done it sooner!! It now fires cleanly and crisply at the same point of pull, and much lighter. I also put a pachmeyer rubber finger grooved grip on it and love the feel. All in all, this is a fine weapon for any use.

I have to say my 92f is up there in my favorites. It works perfectly and the grip natural in my hands. The trigger is not what I would say great but its easy to overcome.

I purchased my 92FS new in 1999. Ii has never had a malfunction in the 10 years that i have owned it. I literally have shot evey type of ammo through it and would highly recommend the pistol to any one...
I know that there has been much written about the 9mm vs 40 ect and i do not intend to debate that issue here. However, I would have no fear going into harms way with my 92 FS,( only if i could not get a hold of the carbine or shotgun)
I do have the trijicon night sights and would also say that this is a added plus. No not for shooting in pitch dark, but at dawn and dusk or very low light conditions, they really excell.

A natural pointing pistol, similiar to a revolver in some respects.

I bought the 92 FS new in 1999 ( it came with the Tirjicon sights.) In the 10 years that I have owned the pistol, it has never had a malfunction.. The pistol is a natural pointer because the bore is closer to the hand and index finger than other pistols of the same size.
I would have no fear of going into harms way with the Beretta. I don't say that lightly. However, much shooting with the handgun has given me a sense of confidence and trust in the firearm.
I would highly recommend the firearm and do spend the few extra dollars to get the Trijicon night sights. I t really does make a difference even in bright light situations.

Pros:

If a pistol were a Swiss watch....
|
|
Cons:
|
Big & heavy for a 9mm
|
|
I have the Inox (stainless) version of the 92FS. I call it my glamour gun. It's too big for a 9mm (although a .40 version is available), can't really be considered a carry gun, and has a DA/SA trigger (not the greatest for defense for most people). It's been produced by the boatload, so it's not collectible for its rarity. It doesn't have the devoted following that the 1911 does.
So why do I keep this gun? Simple....it's beautiful! I love how Beretta applied their Italian design aesthetics to this pistol, especially in stainless. That and the gun's action feels like melted butter. This is the firearms equivalent of a Swiss watch. I've been known to sit and cycle the slide a few times just to feel it work. Sweeeeet!
Oh yeah, and it shoots real good, too!

Excellent quality, very accurate, reliable
|
|
Cons:
|
Thick grip
|
|
Excellent service size autopistol that is uncommonly accurate and robust. It has reliability and durability for the harshest envirenments. I used the M9 in the middle east on two deployments with no complaints. My 92 is essentially the same gun.
