I'm a Beretta fan, but don't care for the 92's backwards rotating slide mounted safety. Literally for decades people have wanted Beretta to offer an affordable 92 variant with a frame mounted safety. It's my opinion that by not providing this option, Beretta allowed CZ and others to eat into their market share. Now that Beretta is finally offering a more affordable 92 variant with a proper frame mounted safety, I decided that I had to get one. This particular version came with a single action only trigger. I prefer the same trigger pull from the first to the last shot, so I'm on board with this. Upon looking at the pistol, my first impression is that the fit and finish are excellent. I couldn't find anything to complain about. It was made in Tennessee. The fiber optic front sight is an upgrade over a plain white dot. The slide is machined to accept a red dot optic if that's your desire. The trigger reach is actually short compared to the other 92 variants that I own. I think it's a combination of the differently contoured grip and the single action trigger. I personally could do without the rail and front slide serrations because I don't use either and think that they take away from the appearance of the pistol. The height of the manual safeties does interfere with racking the slide a bit. It came with two 18rd magazines which were made by Mec-Gar in Italy. I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots.
