On that note, Beretta is finally selling factory threaded barrels too, so no more using aftermarket barrels with meh accuracy in order to use a suppressor. 
Good to know though! |

You mentioned the CZ75. . . Having shot both, I would take the CZ all day every day over the 92. But ultimately its just a preference issue since they are both proven platforms.

I had a 92fs for a few years then sold it on here. It just never did anything for me. Still have several new mags sitting in the safe.
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a beater M9 just because, but I know it will just sit in the safe. |

I had one for a little while, and sold it to fund my KAC NT-4 silencer last year.
I hardly ever shoot 9mm anyway. |

Love it or hate it, it's been the standard issue pistol of the US Army for the last 32 years. For $349 and 3 mags, I'd probably buy a legit Beretta M9 if it wasn't worn to shit. |

Local store has police trade ins with night sights and three 15 round magazines for $349. Seems like a good deal. (At least I hope they still have them, their add came out last week.) I've never owned one, and if I ever shot one it was a Taurus copy back in the 80s so I don't remember it. Should everyone have one in their collection. I have no other 9mm handguns. Absolutely fucking not. Buy up all the Italian shitware you like. The M9 and XD can go eat glue in the corner together. |

I bought one and received it last week the barrel is crooked to the right rubbing the slide. Probably factory seconds  Quote HistoryQuoted:

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. The real problem was how well it shot and how well I shot it. I really liked it a lot. Nonetheless the barrel marks pissed me off, I searched all the 92 forums and no answers. I got an email from Beretta with a $129 special for a new barrel with the up-dated locking block. Problem solved, no more rub marks, no more accurate, but one hell of a nice pistol nonetheless. But it is pretty damned accurate as it was, a fine shooting handgun and the slide/frame is like to sheets of glass with a few drops of oil between them. Very very nice and smooth. A great handgun.

By that reasoning, I'm covered because I've got a 1911, which was standard issue when I was a squid, and for ~60 or 70 years before that. Just like you have to have a 20" AR15 and a carbine also. It's just settled science, like global warming and the chupacabra. |

As stated before elsewhere on this site. I’ve got a love hate relationship with the gun. I’ve had a 92FS since 2001, I wanted to be able to practice with something close to my issue weapon. That gun is an amazing weapon. The issue M9s I’ve had have all been worn until junk. My wife purchased an M9 a few years ago because she wanted her own. Same thing. She can shoot hers really well even for a woman with small hands. I’m debating on sending mine to Wilson for some upgrades.

We always have this conversation at work. Everyone hates them because the ones we are issued are old, beat and tired. I see why people hate them. They have grown to become one of my favorite pistols though. I was telling my GF how I need a new "dress" pistol. Something nice and classy I can wear to formal events and such. I think a "blinged" out Beretta is what I might go with. You know, something a cartel boss would have. Something over the top.

Absolutely. It's one of the most successful and adopted designs of the last century and still in almost universal circulation world wide- from South African Vectors to Egyptian Helwans, Brazillian Taurus copies, to American M9's or French G models.

My other consideration is a CZ-75. How would those compare. I've been shooting 1911s a lot. I can't stand the trigger on my Glocks anymore. I did get my quarterly bonus today. If I don't get one of those, PSA is going to be getting some of it. True statement even if you're used to shooting highpoints really. |

Got 2 92f's in case I'm ever in a Hong Kong action movie, not bad guns but not top of my list for must haves, also have a Helwan which is copy of older beretta 51 or 52 I think it is. G19, BHP, and CZ75 rank higher on must have 9mm IMO.

Damn good pistol, best action design of the past forty years. It's big when you don't have a light on it, but compared to guns with lights, it's about equal. POA/POI is retarded european crap, but it works. Accuracy and reliability are out-fucking-standing when the weapon is properly maintained. With Mec-Gar 18/20 round mags, its capacity is equal or greater than other full-size options. Decent trigger, SA is great.
It was fucked up by the Army, who insisted on a safety/decocker instead of a thumb safety and separate decocker. Not to mention their typical FUBAR maintenance. Bartocci goes into detail on how the Army can manage to fuck up a wet dream. It's a good gun. And for $400, it's a steal. |

I really don't like them. A Sig 226 and a CZ 75 are both far superior weapons. I prefer my Elite 229R and my CZ 75 TS orange My father was issued a Beretta Brigadier (INS was transitioning over from revolvers) around 1996, that thing was the biggest piece of shit (My HK VP70 actually works) I've ever handled. Had to be repaired several times over a two year period. On one of the occasions, I was shooting it and the fucking extractor flew off the damn thing, turning it into a single shot pistol. |

An early model Beretta 92 was my first pistol. Sweet shooter, but not reliable, and really heavy. I sold it, and don't miss it.

Well I went ahead and bought one. Paid a little more for one that looked a little better $379.
Ordered some mags from Midway. (If you still want some they're just about gone) Mec-gars are on sale as well. Time to go shoot it. If I'm motivated I'll post pics later. It looks like any other decade old handgun with holster wear though. I'm sure the better deal would be to buy new from PSA but I'm impatient. |

If it ain't broke, don't fix it type of thinking, it's a 1970s design after all. A proper 92 historian could set us straight, but I believe they first appeared on the 90Two, as did the 'buffer' and rail. 90Two was not successful, and it's 'advanced' features were quickly adopted by the M9A1 (perhaps A3) guns, so there was little incentive to continue promoting it. My .40 Cal 90two is below. Trivia, both 9mm or .40 cals are known as 90Two's, the 96 terminology is not in play. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/3561/93150.JPG |

Big Fan of the M-9.
It is a service pistol sized gun (not a pocket pistol by any stretch, but it is my most accurate pistol over Glocks, S&W and even HK. They catch a lot of hate from the 'plastic gun - striker fired' fan boys for being a "Traditional" pistol similar to 1911... |
