Beretta 92 fs

[gate76]

Just picked up the beretta 92 fs made in Italy

Question

Thinking about a laser for it,
Just how accurate are lasers, for home protection and shooting at paper 10 to 25 yards

Thanks

You may want the railed version of it. Zero it in for the yardage.

But you should be proficient with iron sights at that distance. In a home invasion, you may not have time to use it.

About the same grouping as iron sights. lazers really show those with shaky hands how shaky they are. Does yours have a rail? I have a laser that attaches to the rail of any gun for purposes unknown. Get a gun mounted flash light for home defense.

I have a combo light/laser on several of my handguns. Great for a home defense gun. I see no downside. Excellent when it is too dark to see the sights for that "bump" in the night.

They are great.

I would just get a crimson trace laser grip for it.

The price it shows looks pretty spendy, I bet you can find it for much less

[Wordupmybrotha]

For a real situation, it'll come in handy, but at the range, I find it distracting and hard to practice my fundamentals.

My only experience is the Beretta 92 series and if you do your part the Beretta is really accurate out of the box. I suggest thinner grips, d spring and g type conversion over laser or laser grip.

Crimson Trace are worth the money. VERY accurate. Holds zero. They aren't a replacement for iron sights though. You should practice with both regularly.

I wouldn't waste your money on one. Spend the money on ammo and range. Handguns are up close fighting.

I have a Crimson Trace laser on my Beretta and it is a very effective accessory. Not sure I would use it for 25 yards, but it is terrific for 10 yards and thereabouts -- in other words, combat distance. You will want to practice with both iron sights and the laser, but the laser truly works well. I have the grip-mounted laser and it has held zero for years.

[sirvimmy]

I wouldn't bother. Within 10 yards you should have no issue hitting, If you practice.
A light would be more helpful. They have a rail grip module you could buy to add a rail to a 92fs. Or you could get a railed one.
Lights are really nice to have, but i wouldn't get that grip module. Just make that part of your next handgun requirement, and enjoy the 92fs for what it is. It's a great, fun, accurate handgun.

I have a few Beretta 92's. I have always loved shooting them and fell in love when I bought my first one-- a made in Italy one like your's.

They are very accurate w iron sites but I did add the Crimson Trace laser grips on one of mine.

It's really the only option since the Beretta 92 does not have a rail.

The CT laser grips work very well.

Cats and new shooters love lasers. I bought lasers for my first 2 handguns. Those lasers are gone and that was a long time ago.

They don't make you shoot faster or better. If you want to shoot faster or better take a 2 day pistol class.

Streamlight or Surefire laser/light combos will present height over bore issues and you'll spend a fair amount of time trying to keep them zeroed. The laser grips just aren't worth it and the laser is often blocked by your finger when it's in register.

Well that is a whole lot of opinion.

1. Lasers help immensely when proper posture is not happening or available, just as irons are not as fast as a rds, you nly have to put the dot on the targer, and not line up forward and rear sight to use your sight.

I have been issued arms with lasers quite a bit over the years and they have held zero just fine and they saw lots of pretty rough treatment.

I won’t argue that training isn’t paramount, but any adjuncts which positively affect an outcome are a good thing.

I don’t feel too much of an issue when carrying my 1911s as an edc, but certsinly my little j frame with the laser is helped by the laser.

PS, not a new shooter either. Been playing two way ranges a good bit since before there were lasers.

You know this is a discussion board where people share opinions right?

but, you express your opinion as fact, whereas I contend your opinion is not fact.



I will be faster than your laser with my irons. It's hilarious to hear people talk about "fast' when they don't even own a way to measure it (aka shot timer).

you think you are Doc Holliday I guess. You have zero idea of my background and training one way or the other

Let's be honest you weren't confirming zero.

Absolutely we set up ranges and set and confirm our firearms with great regularity as a matter of regular duties


What about things that negatively affect an outcome? What has happened since agencies have approved weapon mounted lights? Increased NDs. We're asking lowly trained individuals to do more stuff with their fingers while they're holding a gun.

The laser does not cause NDs. It has nothing to do with it. Lack of training and implicit knowledge of one’s manual of arms does that.




If you have laser grips on your 1911 then the laser is blocked if your finger is in proper register.

You obviously do not use crimson trace grips. You would have to have the fattest hands and most screwed up grip ever to block the laser.

I am not hooked on lasers and certainly am not a fan of lamps except as used judiciously.

Another Boomer talking about the good ol' days. Tactics and techniques have a shelf life.

As for boomer.

I may have worked in defense roles since ‘91, but still do and have seen the changes, and have so e 30 years of experience to back my opinion.
