Just bought a Beretta 92fs

[DeadWhiteGoose]

Just bought my first Semi-Automatic handgun. Been a revolver guy for awhile but figured having a nice 9mm around wouldn't hurt. I know the Glock is a reliable platform but the Beretta 92fs fit so well in my hand. The Beretta is also the first handgun I ever fired. I'm 6'3 230lbs so I like a full size gun. The size and weight of the Beretta just seems like a good fit. Just though I'd share, see if there are any fans out there. I'm sure I'll still like my .357 better...

I have a friend who has a Beretta 96 and he loves it. Too big for my small hands, but mr giant hands says it fits him perfect.

Physique-wise I'm the opposite of you, at 5'4 175# but I love the 92FS for it's feel, handling, looks and especially those white dot sigts. I'm thinking I should've picked up the M9-A1 but I can live without the rail. I will say that it fits in my hands perfectly-I don't see this is a big gun at all, but then again this is my first handgun, lol. Just picked up a 1911 also, and I'm hoping that I'll get used to shooting this thing as well. I think I'd like to try a revolver someday...

Nice gun! I've always liked the way it sits in my hand.

School me on the Beretta 92 Series.

I put this little bit of information together, hopefully there is some useful sutff in there as well.

Had a 92 back in the early 80's. Shot 300's with it as well as my p220 and venerable s&w model 19 4".

Love my 92fs with walnut grips. It feels like a proper handgun and not some SA composite toy.

I just picked up my 92FS yesterday from my FFL.
Now to find some ammo at a reasonable price. It seems to have disappeared.
It really does fit well. Looking forward to shooting it this Saturday.

I love my 92FS! Have had it for several years and have about 1,500 rounds through it. Prior to its purchase, I shot USP, Glock, Springfield, CZ, and even a Hi-Power. The 92FS just felt the best. And I'm not a giant either - 6', 200lbs.
The only other pistol I've shot that felt as good was a Sig226. Need to get one of those because I really liked it.

Pistols are like shoes though. What fits perfect for one person could be terrible for another. The 92 is a big semi and I do know a number of people who just don't like its feel. For me, it's great.

That's a beauty. I've been wanting to get some wood grips for mine but never have. Very nice looking pistol.

Thank you the grips came from bolsa gunsmithing in OC.

I have used a Springfield 40, SW 40, Beretta PX4 9mm, Sig....

After renting, or using a friends, I always went back to the 92fs. Like a poster above said its like a shoe. This shoe fits me and feels so comfortable.


Word of advise: get a good holster so the snap doesn't eat into the grip. And shoot A LOT of rounds in the first year. I had mine on safe and racked it, somehow I broke a tiny little tab under the slide. Beretta took it in and fixed it for free with an upgrade then resighted it.

I've put 6-7000 rounds since the repair without one issue. Usually 1k or so between cleaning without one FTF or squib load. I put anything in it. Steel case, reloads, cheap factory, JHP, Hornady...it eats it up.

Thanks for all the tips guys I appreciate the info. I'm just glad there was one at a reasonable price to buy. Every LGS is empty right now

I hated the M9 while I was in the Navy, but in a fit of nostalgia I bought a 92FS from a calgunner a couple years back and I could be happier with it. It's truly a wonderful piece of engineering, and it feels right in my hands.

Lol, you're not the only person in the service who's said the exact same thing. As for 9mm 'ammo, I do hope to find some soon, as I certainly miss shooting the Beretta...
