Beretta 92FS-----Opinions?

[ProCharger]

On my 92 purchased several months back the trigger, left side safety, guide rod, and lanyard are all plastic.

on my 96 brigadier the lanyard and guide rod are plastic/polymer, but the trigger and the safety are both metal........not sure if thats just a feature on the brigadiers or if there are differences in the 92fs and the 92brigadier.....might wanna check on that if the thread starter is interested in purchasing a beretta still.

I've had one for almost 5 years.Didn't really shoot it much until
a year or so ago.
Things I don't like about it:
1.Lousy trigger.This can be fixed
2.Too many levers and gizmos.I keep hitting the slide release
lever with thumb,preventing the slide to lock open on last round.
Things I like about it:
1.100% reliable.Never had a problem with it.
2.Its large.I have big hands.
3.Its Tacticool looking.(This ones for you,Skunk )
I've thought about selling it and getting a Glock 17,
but I've learned my lesson about ever selling a gun.DON'T!!
I'll just save my pennies and buy one.

I don't find them that tactical looking...when I think of them, I think of how REAL operators use 1911s and Sigs and how I'm not tactical enough; I like them because of their curvy Italian styling with American influences.

Wait till I get the G-SD though. THAT is tactical looking but the triggerguard just looks....stupid.

I'm thinking of getting one myself. I've found an Elite, but it is $675 here in SoCal. Is that kind of high? Or I could get the Brig for about $575.00. Are these two models that much more top heavy than the 92fs? Thanks

They were good enough for Martin Riggs & John McClaine, so they are good enough for me!

My 92 has eaten the truncated cone that jammed my glocks. It's eaten every flavor of reload that I've thrown at it. It's never complained about eating from cheezy magazines. It's run dry. It's run over-lubed. It's run in the snow and rain.

In the sense that it meets the first requirement of a defensive arm - it works, all the time, every time - I have no problems with it.

Sure... it might be a little hard to hide IWB. Sure, it might be a large launcher for a small slug. However, it's been completely reliable. That counts for more than style points in my book.

Come to think of it, most Italian women are kinda fat.

I've got small hands, it doesn't stop me from owning the compact M, 92FS, or Brigadier. Mind over matter I say... It's quite a good gun but I'm not sure how much sense it makes to carry it in warmer months. Winter in New England, you could hide an Uzi. During the summer, I'd opt for my type M or a Glock 26/27.

As a home defense and range gun, I love it. I'm currently preparing to send mine off to www.langdontactical.com for work. This will be the gun I use on the job when the opportunity arises.

DSK -- those fat Italians must be the ones on the continent -- Sicilians don't eat that fat cheese diet -- nothing wrong with our waist line...
