Beretta 92 Steel I

**OLIAR15** · 05-29-20, 08:24

I just bought this Beretta 92 steel I today, built 2010. Unlike most 92s, the safety is frame mounted and the frame is carbon steel rather than alloy, with a nickel alloy finish, so it’s a heavy gun.

So much so that the original owner, a lady, didn’t like the heft at all. The LGS bought it back from her, then put it on the rentals rotation for their range, where it had little success. I think most walk-ins who rent guns are youngsters who are more interested in modern plastic fantastic and rails.

Well her loss, my gain for a mere $ 1000 with case, lock and manual

And it’s a great shooter too, the first ten shots at 25 meters

It makes a great pair with the 92 combat

Put in the Xtreme S Trigger for the 93X Performance and call it good!

Nice!

I LOVE solid built guns

From my CZ, to my Barrett’s, to my

Scar17S

You just know they’re going to be around for the long haul

Very nice. The steels and combats don’t show up all that much

Nice find. This is a single action, correct? I lusted after one more than a decade ago.

Wow OP, can't say that I have ever seen that configuration on a Beretta. Very nice.

I've always wanted a Steel I or II. Came pretty close to pulling the trigger on one once, but it was just too spendy.

I own several Berettas and think that they're great looking guns, but it's beyond my understanding why Beretta sticks with that horrible slide mounted safety design. I think they'd sell a ton more if they'd just offer that frame mounted safety on an entry level pistol.
