For that price, I'd consider it. Use the money saved over a NIB from PSA to replace all the springs and maybe the locking block. Factor in the 3rd mag and you're probably still ahead of the game, financially. I like mine. Really want a 92FS Brigadier Inox with a rail. Or a 92FS A1 Inox. Niether of which exists to my knowledge. Got to finger bang a Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier, and that was sweet, but $$$$. I still want a P226 and a CZ75, and I'll still continue to rely on my Glocks. |

If it's the fixed front sight then it's going to be hard to find a company to replace the tritium vial. Trijicon no longer services the 92 front sights. But, yes, they are fine pistols. Love all of mine. |

If you're a gun aficionado that likes guns that shoot freakishly accurate you should have one. The smooth as glass slide action is also very satisfying. I say it actually edges out the Sig P226 a little in accuracy based on my experience. It's a great range/fun gun so I wouldn't worry too much about the dim tritium. 
(I actually need to do this to my 96G Centurion  )

Trijicon will replace old sights with new. They will not install new sights on pistols that did not have the sights previously. This was as of last month anyway. I believe that these guys are the actual company that Trijicon themselves farm out the install work to, as well. 
http://tooltechgunsight.com/ ETA: Apparently the prices have gone up, and the new sights are taller than the old ones.  
ETAII: I bet Trijicon discontinued the proper height rear sight, so now they pin on a taller front to match the now taller rear which is for the M9A3.

Palmetto State Armory has the 92FS for $449 with free shipping right now. I'd buy new over a police trade in. I have a 92SF, I prefer my CZ-SP01 over it. The SP01 will run you about $140 more than the Beretta at PSA. I don't have a 75B, but a high polished stainless is on my short list. |

Neat to own one since, for better or worse, it has been the main sidearm of the US military for years now.
Sidetrack question- Has anyone see an M9-A1 "in the wild". I've seen plenty of issue M9's on MP's and other security, but never saw USMC that had an M9-A1. |

I put together a grab/go/bugout/etc bag. Been looking for a pistol to toss in it. A police trade in M92 would be a good choice. I wanted a handgun though that would be the best overall option in term of logistics in SHTF. I have it narrowed to a G19 or M92. Lots of surplus parts out there and plentiful magazines.
If I'm wondering around in SHTF, I doubt I'm finding VP9, P226, or CZ mags around... Have a G19, yeah I may find an old G17 mag or something...never know. |

The 92 FS is accurate, reliable, unergonomic, and overpriced. I like em, but there's better value for the money.
I also have tiny little hands, so I have trouble with them. |

I have an LAPD trade in 92FS. It's ugly, the bluing is worn off from being in a holster for years, but damn if it doesn't shoot great. And I threaded it and put a can on it. Shooting subs through it is damn fun.

Yes, one of the greatest handguns out there.
Incredibly reliable and accurate. The tilting locking block allows for a much faster shot to shot split. I used one in security forces in VA/DC then in the fleet. It took me 10 years to shoot one when I got out but as soon as I picked one up I regretted letting all that time go by. I picked up a cheap trade in for $350 and it's a bit worn so I replaced some springs and it's been tits. Now I carry a m9a1 compact and the FS has a surefire rail/light and is my bedside gun. D spring, g levers, extended mag release are a few worthwhile upgrades. Both the guns have g levers and the compact has Wilson thin g10 grips.

I hated the thick sausage grip of the original M9 style beretta. But recently I picked up a used 92FS Vertec from Scheels for less than $400. It is a far more comfortable pistol. Thinner with a better grip angle. I would recommend the vertec models over the standard.
