Got my first Beretta 92...

[Fa24wrx]

As a 1911/2011 enjoyer, I decided to get the SAO Beretta 92XI (9211) tactical with the suppressor sights and threaded barrel. It's a great shooter. Very accurate. Not AS soft shooting as my Tisas DS Duty 1911 but I think once I get used to the trigger and grip, I'll like it better than my Tisas, which I love.

I shot slightly left in some groups but that's me. Tight groups outside of my rapid shooting.

Put 100 rounds of target ammo and 50 rounds of Federal HST 124 +p (HST is what you see on paper).

I just got a handed down 92FS from my uncle a couple of months ago. I really like it.

Well I did anyway before that tragic boating accident.

I've never owned or shot a 92, but have always admired them. Very nice looking guns.

My Italian built 92FS with the Beretta wood grips. IMO as close to perfection as a mass produced pistol can be. I’ve never had one hiccup with this pistol. They’re also Beautiful!

A lot of old timers hated them and stuck to 1911A1s until the armories had to turn the last of the 1911s in. -- Real life reference.

My primary reason for buying the 92 was at the time, it was the primary carry pistol of the American armed forces. I won’t say that Bruce didn’t have some influence on my purchase….

I carried an M-9 for almost all of my 22 years of active duty. I naturally own two mil-spec M-9s now. They just keep going and going and going.

I didn't know a Chevy Beretta would shoot bullets?

That’s a neat two tone setup. Good luck with it!

Don't own a Beretta but I have two Taurus PT92s... one is the PT92C which Taurus stopped making decades ago.
Both have been flawless.

Fwiw.
After the CZ75 the 92F was my favourite semi-auto.

Thanks! It's been great so far. Seems well built and no weird manufacturing issues

My FIL has a Taurus PT92. Seems really nice.

They were made in the former Beretta factory in Brazil after Beretta left and sold the factory, machines, tooling, etc...to Taurus...as I understand it.
Safety/deococker on the Taurus is frame mounted vs slide mount on the Beretta.

That's what I'd read. That's awesome

How old?? My m9 felt like throwing a hotdog down a hallway in '11. They're too big for my hands though.

Well, they forced me change around 1984? Yeah, it was like going from something designed to fit my hands to holding the wrong end of a baseball bat. They just feel fat and unnatural to me.

After years of carrying and shooting an M9 on Active Duty, my wife chose a 92FS as her first gun. She shoots it very well.

I’ve always liked the ergonomics on the Beretta. I own several 1911s, and love them, but the Beretta is a good gun, reliable, accurate, ergonomic. If she can shoot it as well as I do, and she does, I reckon the 92 fits a wide variety of people.
