That are maybe a little dated now.
My first intro to the M9/92FS was around 1988 when my Ranger Bn swapped out our M16A1s and 1911A1s for them and M16A2s. Our CAR-15 swap for A2 versions would come later. We also started getting green tip then, which made accuracy with the old twist rate CAR-15s.
Anyways, movies like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard coincided with this time period.
I bought a 92 a few years later.
I bought a 9x21 with compensator barrel and ammo for some matches in the early 90s so I could shoot “Major.” Meets of a dozen guys in a rural area then were not really where you would find a chronograph. In retrospect, I have found that my 9x21 ammo was more on par with 9mm NATO PF and not anywhere near major.
The later laser technologies lights had a switch extension that was stiff and held itself to the grip, similar to the models after They became Surefire. The first were a standard old school wired pressure switch that had to be attached to the grip. They typically became frayed. At some point most would end up without the wire and operated by the mount slide switch by the offhand thumb. Batteries then were a special connected one. They would with two 123s though.
Factory Beretta 20 round magazines used to be much longer than same capacity magazines now.
Anyways, in the mid 90s this was cutting edge.
