Beretta 92FS initial range report

[AndyLate]

My uncle used to let me shoot some of his 92s that happened to be marked M9. They certainly were accurate and I always managed to qualify expert with them, but the DA-SA transition was challenging.

I get the hankering for a Beretta every few years, but they are never high enough on the priority list.

1. Buy snap-caps.
2. Dry-fire.
3. Dry-fire.
4. Dry-fire.
5. Dry-fire.


Yes the LTT TJIAB helps, or an action tune from Wilson, or even a steel trigger and D spring from BUSA. My point is, there's a lot of good stuff that's available to upgrade one's 92, but honestly there's nothing like having reps on a 92 DA trigger to get you used to 92.

This is just my opinion and mine alone, but while I consider myself a true Beretta guy, I don't loose too much sleep whether the gun is an FS or G. I mean yes, upgrade it, but it's not the highest priority on my list. Carrying off safe and treating it like a G is just fine; you still have that long DA pull to protect you (and thumb on the hammer while reholstering).

And the time has never been better for Beretta AIWB holsters.

To me a G is absolutely essential. I had a standard FS for many years and about 1/3 of the time on a slide lock reload over the top of the slide I would engage the safety accidentally. Not good and not possible with a G mod.

This. I Had a compact 92 FS and the second time I found the safety out of the "fire" position while carrying it was time for it to go.

A few months later the Beretta conversion kit came out. (To make an FS a G style) Ah well. I didnt like it enough to get another.

I prefer the CZ 75 and Beretta 80-series to the 92 series.

The Beretta 92 is a classic. A few years ago, Oman selected it as their new service handgun. So there's still some mileage in the old girl.

Yea, I’m thinking the G conversion is going to happen on mine.

I think you would really like it. Even if yours did not come as a G model, you can buy the levers for 60 bucks and install them yourself. You really do want a buddy to help, though. A third hand on the install makes life a LOT easier.

I have G's installed on all my 92 series pistols. For me it's a must have. To easy to inadvertently put the safety on & not know it.

100% on the G, it's a game-changer for the pistol.
