I had a Beretta 92S in the early 80's. Dropped it while carrying it to the car. It was in a soft case and landed on its muzzle. It fired a round into the concrete. Fortunately the round embedded in the concrete. I contacted Beretta. They acknowledged the firing pin is not locked, rather is free floating.

Yep! The 92S are NOT drop safe and this is not the first story I heard of 92S misfiring after being dropped with a round in the chamber. This is why for the 92FS, Beretta added a firing pin block on top of the slide, the little metal block that rises when the trigger is pulled to solve this issue.

Excellent job, I actually worked with the Carabinieri,(Italian Military Police,) that carried these when Dessert Storm was going on. What a piece of history that I was a part of. 👍👍🇺🇸

Two years later, I just got one of these surplus pistols. I love it. My first Baretta, I was very happy to see this review.👍😎 Thanks Sootch

I bought one from Classic over a year ago, and I have been happy. No problems, and I got used to the different location of the mag release. The sights aren't great, but for the price, it's tough to beat.

Picked up mine from SoG a year ago. Fantastic shooter, ran everything from FMJ to hollow points, brass, steel and aluminum case, 115gr, 127 and 147. It does not care, stays right on target.

When Taurus bought the Beretta factory the Beretta had the slide mounted safety. And for the first PT-92s from Taurus had the slide mounted safety. Taurus actually moved the safety to the frame which most people (including myself) prefer

PT92 vs M9 Accuracy >> Which one?? Thank you

This gun has a special place in my heart. It was the first hand gun I bought when I turned 21 many many moons ago. Mine has walnut grips, and it was my carry gun.Thanks for the vid!

I've wanted one of these ever since I first saw Die Hard as a kid!

After putting about 750 rounds through my 92S, I can definitely say these are way worth the money. If you don't mind the sights or the different magazine release button, they're definitely worth the $300-ish dollar price tag. I replaced the springs in mine once I picked it up and haven't had a single issue from the pistol, it's extremely accurate, shoots smooth, and the single-action trigger is wonderful. I agree with Sootch that the price on these will likely rise over the next few years as supply runs dry, like with most surplus firearms, so if you want one, pick it up now!

7:50 Actually the firing pin block came with the 92SB, the model prior to the 92F. So the timeline goes like this: original 92 (released in 1975 or 76) --> 92S (1978 or 79, safety moved from frame to slide, gained decocker but lost the cocked and locked capability) --> 92SB (1981 for USAF trials. Added firing pin block, ambidextrous safety, 3-dot sights, mag release changed to 1911 style) --> 92F (1984, adopted as US Army's M9 in 1985. Originally called 92SB-F, changes include squared off trigger guard, recurved front strap which sootch00 mentioned at 4:09, chromed bore, and Bruniton finish instead of blueing for better corrosion resistance) --> 92FS (1989, after some slide fracture reports Beretta modified the design with an enlarged hammer pin head. This prevents the slide from flying backward into shooter's face in case of a breakage. It was also available in G model or decock only for the French Gendarmerie). 1992 came the 40SW version called Beretta 96. US Border Patrol asked Beretta to make them a reinforced version, this brought us the Brigadier slide with dove-tailed front sight, slanted dust cover, and the radiused backstrap (top portion of backstrap have a reduced cut out). The 2001 released 92 Elite IA and Vertec, both featured the straight backstrap with reduced girth, and integrated 1-slot picatinny rail for the first time (Elite IA also has Brigadier slide and is a G model). That grip is now known as the Vertec grip and featured on the M9A3. M9A1 was released in 2006 and adopted by USMC. It adds a single-slot rail, aggressive front and back checkering, and beveled mag well to the M9. M9A1 is supplied with physical vapor deposition (PVD) coated mags for sand resistance :)

It’s so cool that you can get these old surplus guns for just a few hundred bucks. Love it

I loved the Classic Firearms crate opening segment, that was really cool to see. I think that M9A3 is just phenomenal, it should have at least been considered IMO. Another excellent review brother, thanks for taking us along!

Grabbed one of these from them a few months ago and its awesome

I just bought a CZ-75 SP01 in FDE at Classicfirearms and they are excellent at customer service. I can't wait to shoot my new gun, but i don't have the money for one of those Beretta's now. I guess i have to wait next year. Long live the republic Sootch00

When I initially received mine, I had a lot of feeding issues even with FMJ from federal. I have THOROUGHLY cleaned the gun for it seemed like it probably sat for a long time dry, the gun now functions flawlessly.

I bought one from Classic about 6 months ago that is in about the same condition as yours. I painted the shiny, rubbed on, scratched grips with black truck bed liner paint and it is awesome! Can't go wrong with a Beretta.

Thank you for this review. It's one of the videos that helped me decide to purchase a 92s through CF. I should have it by this week. :)

Thanks Sootch! This channel and the Sensible Prepper Channel are by far my favorite channels on KZread. Keep up the great work.

Got this last year for $179 after watching this video and it's great. The gun obviously looks worn and scratched up, but the internals look fantastic. The guide rod spring may have to be replaced later down the line, but that's to be expected. I can easily get another 1000 rounds from it before having to do so. I just took it to the range today after not shooting it in a while (been using the IWI Jericho 941 my grandfather gave me) and it still performs great. While the mag release button, the round trigger guard, and the sights are different from the Beretta 92FS, you're getting great value on an excellent Beretta 92. Most Beretta 92s start around $600 and the used ones aren't that much cheaper. I had to come back here to thank you sootch00. Without this video, I would have never looked into getting this. Probably would have spent much more since I was saving up for the M9A3 after wanting a 92 for so long.

..always GREAT Reviews Sootch, Thanks!

Smoothest action made, like buttered glass when you rack it. The 92S has a nice feel to it with it's smooth front and back strap. I've got a half dozen newer Berettas with the Brunition and Inox finishes. The 92s has an old school gloss blue finish, it's a shame it's not offered any more...Beautiful.

The triggers on these are excellent with a really short reset like 1/16 inch. Mine came with a light hammer spring, maybe all are like that. A little orange paint on the front sight helps.

great review

I love my 92, I switched it to decocker only and the slide is smooth as butter.

I got one in near perfect condition but the mag was crap. Replaced it and now it runs flawless.

I had one of these about 10 years ago. I had a friend serving in Iraq and he brought it home as a war trophy. He had given it a tan paint job and newer grips. He gave it to me when he got back. After he passed away, I gave it to another friend. I wish I had kept it.

Hands down one of the best if not the best values on the used LEO handgun market. After buying one a couple years ago we picked up another along with one of the Beretta 85f's from Classic Firearms.

I just got mine ordered for fathers day :) hand select hopefully there is nice ones left . Happy fathers day to all you fathers out there thanks sootch.

I found these on sale at Classic. Paid $279 each for two. Got them a week later. Mine are in great shape and they shoot great. Out of the first 100 rounds I had one failure to eject. My groups at 12-15 yards are impressive. Feels great in my hand. I shoot this fine firearm with confidence !!

Bought one a month ago, my first handgun purchase. Beautiful blued finish with some minor holster wear, barrel has been replaced, and it came with a later model guide rod which was incorrect and made it very difficult to pivot the take down lever. After grinding the dimple on the end of the guide rod (to match what a 92s rod looks like) it’s been flawless. I’ve surprised myself at how accurately I can shoot it at 25 yds. I’ve put about 500 rds through it, it feeds anything from steel case junk to hornady CD+P. Sights aren’t huge but very usable as long as it’s not pitch black out there. Paid $329, found some NOS beretta mags at the hardware store for $40/ea, and a 20rd ProMag. All work well. Several friends have offered to buy it for more than I paid. Get one while you can

Purchased my Beretta 92S over 40 years ago, put Pachmayr grips on it and still like new

Bought mine in '82, $400. Came with walnut grips (still have them), put some Pachmyer "wrap arounds" on. Little bigger around the grip,but I've been shooting it for almost 40 years. I think I'm used to it. 😉

Yeah... gonna have to order one. Very slick variation of the 92. Thanks for the great video.

You are a man of your word reviewing this firearm,cool points!!!!!

I just bought a 92fs new 6 months ago. It came with mags that had the bottom mag release cuts, so they're still making new mags with the old school cuts.

I own one of these and I love mine. Never had any problems with it plus the pistol is very accurate.

You can get stainless 15 round mags from the Beretta web site that have both cuts. I run them in my 92s and 92fs, no issues. Its also easy add either of the cuts to your mags using a dremel and a file set. The heal catch doesn't need to be particularly precise in shape, but size.

I bought one of these last year for $289 with free shipping and it has been a excellent firearm. I do not mind the heel magazine release other than that this gun is every bit as good as any of the newer burritos costing two or three times as much. I also have a stainless Taurus pt92 which is every bit as good as the Beretta

My American-made 92FS is also a Police Special surplus. Got it for $550 with 3 15rd magazines many years ago. I since upgraded the polymer guide rod with a fluted steel one from Wilson Combat. Very reliable. I don't mind the heavy double action trigger (I'm a southpaw, but shoot right-handed [cross-eye dominant]).

Thanks Sootch! That one looks great! (as did many of them)

Great video as always. I bought 1 of these from Classic from the previous batch. Awesome weapon at a great price! Considering another, just because 😉

Someone must have used it as a hammer at one point too as there are half a dozen dents on the back of the magazine (mag condition was graded "very good to excellent").

Italy is simply the cultural superpower of the world. No other country can even get close to our dominance in the field (half of the artistic heritage of the world is in Italy). This in some way is reflected also in our weapons, I guess. Beretta 92 series is a work of art.

I kinda like that magazine release button on the bottom of the grip

Omg I love the 92S, I bought one from Buds Gun Shop in Sevierville, Tennessee.

Just some information on the mags, you can get Beretta manufactured 92 mags from BerettaUSA and they will have both the cutouts for the 92FS and the 92S pistols, the only ones that do not have the cutout for the 92S are the 17-round mags and any of the "M9" or "M9A1" mags, ProMag 15-round 92 mags will also have the cutout for the 92S. I've used both and the Beretta mags seem to work better, but once they're broken in the ProMags do fine as well, they can just be a little bit stiff at first and I've even had the ProMags cause my 92S' slide to lock back half-way through firing a loaded magazine!

Police and army in 2018 used Beretta 92 FS this is a model before (1980) the new gun Beretta 92 FS in USA Beretta M9

good shooting sootch00 very professional hope one day i have confidence like you

What a beautiful pistol. Very nice video.

Dear Mr. Sootch double ought, the Beretta 92s, and in reality, all Beretta pistols are very nice arms!! There are some very nice surplus S models out there!! And yours is no exception!! With the stainless guide rod, and it's fine finish, it's very beautiful!! Just one thing that I would like to point out. When field stripping/disassembly of your pistol, there is no need to pull the slide back, and lock it open!! Actually, it will put extra tension in the recoil spring, that is necessary to overcome, to rotate the disassembly latch! As the pistol is standing free, just simply depress the disassembly lock button, on the right side, and then rotate the latch on the left side, and the recoil spring will gently force the slide assembly forwards a bit, and it is ready to remove! If you point the muzzle up above a horizontal plane, the slide will not fall off. If you point the muzzle down below horizontal, there is a possibility that the slide will come off, and fall to the ground! If you just place your left hand on top of the slide, use your left middle finger to press the button on the right, while using your left thumb to rotate the disassembly latch, while using your left palm to control sudden movement, then just grip it, and slide it off!

Is the 92s compatible with other 92 holsters? As you mentioned it's an older model with the rounded trigger guard instead of a squared off trigger guard. Also Brownells has a adapter plate for a light rail on the Beretta 92 but it requires Drilling and is held together with screws. I'm also interested in knowing which parts are interchangeable between the 92s and the 92fs. Particularly the barrel and guide rod because Beretta sells threaded and non threaded barrels on their website but I'm not sure that they would fit the 92s. Just questions I haven't found answers to yet.

Great video. Just bought both one.

Just ordered mine , yes their still a few left Robertson trading post yep! Hurry I might buy another.

Beautiful pistol, Thanks for sharing 👊😎

I’ve had mine this exact model for many many many years now a pawn shop find for 175$ and no matter what my favorite pistol out of all of what I have and all else who shoots it hates it why because the sites in mine are pretty much non existent any more and it’s great

The 92S police trade in I bought a year or two ago didn't have that matte finish. It had a beautiful blued finish and frames anodizing was glossy. I hate I sold it. I wonder why the older released trade ins had that finish and the newer ones don't. I wonder if the newer imports are being refinished by Beretta before being released. As good as the finish seems I'd say they are as Beretta goes through them before they come stateside. I've also had a beautiful blued Beretta 92SB. I kept one of my Beretta's. It's my Beretta 92FS Police Special and I love it even though I'm not a fan of manual safeties on guns and especially when they are slide mounted. I shoot the Beretta 92FS and Sig P226 better than any other handguns I've ever owned.

Any of the 10 or 15 round 92fs mags available directly from Baretta have both notches for either mag release. Double check when buying, but most of them say "Fits: 92S - 92SB - 92F - 92FS - 92A1 - M9 - M9A1 - 90-Two - Billennium - Vertec - Brigadier - Centurion - Elite.". (Also, the Beretta website has great sales on mags every couple months) The 17 and 30 round mags do not. However, I have bought those and cut the notch out myself with a dremel and they work fine.

Sootch I love your channel and your vids but please make another video showing the difference between the 92s, 92f, 92fs, 92a1, m9 etc...

I heard (or read) that Beretta gives these surplus pistols new springs and a new metal guide rod... I got mine when these first came out, and they looked new. Probably the best surplus pistol deal I’ve ever had... Anyone know if the barrels between the model 92 are interchangeable? I’d like to get a new threaded barrel for mine...

Man I wanted all them guns in the crate that classic firearms had lol. It was like a kid in the candy store didn't know which one to choose

Omg. I have such a soft spot for the Beretta. It is up there with the 1911 in terms of reliability and beauty.

The largest ejection port on the business.

I just acquired a 92s but i don't like the sights. Can I buy a slide from a 92FS or M9A3 and put it on the 92s frame? Cheers, awesome video.

They have them here in az for 300.00 but I can't pull the trigger on getting one the mag release really kills it for me. What a shame. Very good video thanks.

Hey can you do a video about how some calibers aged well and some haven't? Dope video as always

awesome gun had the langdon kit down loaded as far as sights white out or bright paint also taurus 17 round mags will fit and work great second gun will have the barrel crowned to the slide

I thought Sootch was going to turn his hat sideways to go with that cocked-hand grip.
