BERETTA - 92 Series Pistols

The most tested and trusted personal defense weapon in history. The 92FS, designated M9 by the U.S. Military, not only meets or exceeds all US Military testing guidelines, it totally revises them. Whit U.S. Government standards for pistol reliability set at 1,250 MRBF (Mean Rounds Between Operational Mission Failure), the Beretta M9 averages 30,000 rounds for reliability. Each pistol must pass a battery of over 3,000 quality control checks and measures that includes complete interchangeability of parts.

92 Series Pistols are semi-automatics and operate on the short recoil, delayed locking block system, which yields a faster cycle time. Each features a lightweight, forged frame made from aircraft-quality aluminum alloy. A combat trigger guard is standard. The slide and other steel components are coated with Bruniton, a Teflon based material that provides superior corrosion resistance and reduced friction between frame and slide. There is a wide array of 92 pistols from which to select, each with unique features.

High definition sights. Standard 3-dot sight system is designed for quick target acquisition. Notched rear sight is dovetailed to slide. Blade front sight is integrated with slide. Three-dot tritium night sight system also available.

92FS/96 Centurion Models are distinguished by reduced barrel and slide length, for a more compact design. Based on the same reliable frame as the 92FS/96 pistols, with identical firepower, safety and performance features. The Centurion is also available in D and G versions.

92 Compact L and Compact L Type M Models. The Compact features a 13-round high capacity, double stack magazine. The Type M carries a single stack 8-round magazine, which allows a slimmer, flatter profile for better concealment or for those with smaller hands. Compact models are also available in D versions.

92D/96D Models are double action only versions of the standard 92FS, with no external safety levers ("slick slide") and the hammer spur removed. Extended side serrations provide a sure grip for fast, easy racking of the slide. D models are as easy to operate as a revolver, with the exact same smooth trigger pull for each shot.

92/96G Models were developed specifically to meet the needs of the French Gendarmerie and other law enforcement agencies worldwide. The G models differ from 92Fs and 96 models in that the hammer drop lever does not function as a traditional safety. When the lever is released after having been activated to lower the hammer, it automatically returns to the ready-to-fire position.

92FS/98FS Inox Stainless Models are manufactured with stainless steel slide, barrel, and other key components and internal parts. The alloy frame is anodized to match the color and finish of the stainless slide and barrel. The special Golden Inox version has gold inlays on the highly polished frame and slide.

Proven performance matched by unequaled safety. All 92 Series pistols feature unique safety refinements. On FS models, the ambidextrous manual safety also functions as a decocking lever. A firing pin block secures the firing pin, preventing it from moving forward and accidentally discharging, even if the pistol falls and strikes the ground muzzle down. The chamber loaded indicator is an added safety feature. When a round is chambered, the extractor protrudes to show a red indicator. In the dark, the user can feel the slightly protruding indicator.
