I found this beretta 92d interesting.

It had been modified to da/sa as a standard 92; I find it interesting as it no longer has a decocker/safety. My question would be would any 92/92fs slide (assembly) drop on to a 92d frame?

Will work, then you could lower the hammer on a loaded pistol safely. The way it is now, its an ND waiting to happen.

Ill have to see if I get it, and try n scrounge a 92fs slide from a buddy. That is such a scary concept...I seriously hope someone would not try decocking a hammer on a loaded weapon such as this.

I have a hard time believing the GB seller's story. A deputy asking for a SA/DA pistol with no means of safely decocking it? What for? I can't imagine any department's policy allowing that... unless they didn't have one at all.

perfect gun for a desk pop.

Yes, a 92D slide will drop onto a 92FS frame. And/or the 92D frame can have 92FS parts added to it. IIRC, it is just a hammer and sear, maybe even just the hammer, don't remember for sure, but it is just a simple parts swap.
Not a very good idea though, as you have no safety, and no decocker.
There is one guy on the Beretta forum that has taken that concept and added in a Billie/SteelII type 1911 style safety, so it can be cocked and locked like a 1911, but that requires a frame modification, and the parts required, Billie/Steel type safety, aren't readily available.

That would be pretty cool. Similar to the taurus.

The plan would be to drop in a 92fs slide as they are plentiful.

I read the description again. It sounds like this was done per a deputy request. Then policy changed making it out of compliance.... (rightfully so as this thing would be awful for duty use in its current config)

You can get the same effect by dropping a D slide onto a FS/G frame. Definitely should work with a 92FS slide to return to saftey/decocker action.

Now my question is are there any mechanisms in the frame that are different. (does the D frame have all of the correct cuts and mechaisms to accomodate the safety?)

[BajaJames83]

So they basically made it a G without the decocker

Gotcha
