Bereta 92F

[ACE21]

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a Bereta made into an Open pistol for competition?

 

[Flexmoney]

Yes.

Please don't do so.

What gun games were you thinking of?

 

[ACE21]

I was just thinking how the pistol will do just to use for steel plates.

mine shoots flawlessly and is very accurate Ive had it over ten years and no ftf or any outher problems other than being big for a nine its a very dependable pistol have fun with it

For steel plates...you would be fine with a red dot on the Beretta.

If you hope to have a competitive Open gun, I seriously doubt the Beretta will do the trick. It's hard enough making the 92 into a serious Production pistol, which requires removable sights (most 92's have fixed sights) and the skill of a small handful of pistolsmiths. The horrendous first tigger pull weight can be overcome with a really good trigger job but I think your problem will be finding parts that Open guns use that can also fit on the Beretta. I'm sure it can be done, but I don't think you're going to find it easy to find a pistolsmith that has experience adapting a Beretta to take comps, a Dot sight, extended mag capacity, and all the other stuff that changes a 1911 into a true Open gun. Then there is the problem of making Major. This will be very difficult if not impossible in a Beretta 9mm. Of course, if you just want to use it on steel and not an IPSC match, that may not be a problem. Anyway, I would not try to make a Beretta into an Open gun unless I was the pistolsmith and was looking for a unique and difficult challange.
