Chief8one Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I bought one not too long ago and absolutely love the gun. To be specific it is the new 92a1 that comes with built in rail and 3, 17 round magazines. Granted, it is the first gun I've ever owned. I always wanted a 92 from growing up with the Die hard/Lethal weapon series as a kid. I was just wondering if anyone else likes/owns one? I see a lot of glock and sig sauer love, but never any berretta. I have no issues in being schooled in firearms. It seems that the Sig Sauers go for a serious premium, even used.. enlighten me? I'll throw a cell phone pic up in a bit. if someone does mind hosting that would be great. I'm computer retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 They are fine pistols. There is a good reason the US military has used them (as the M9) since the mid-80's. Great firearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 New Sigs aren't as good as old Sigs. Glocks are good enough but aren't the perfection they claim to be. There are lots of good guns out there, but no hands down best gun. Berettas probably get passed over because of price more than anything, and being a steel gun means they are heavier than most modern guns so they are less likely to be used as a defensive weapon.

Benner Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Dad has a Taurus Pt92 (same as the Beretta 92). Great Gun. We've both fired well over 1,000 rounds through it without a jam and only minor cleaning, and its still crazy accurate for a hand gun.

motozachl Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Excellent choice for a first firearm. I greatly prefer a heavier gun because honestly I'm never going to ccw anyways thus thee improved accuracy at a range puts a smile on my face. The cz75 is slgihtly better IMO but in the same ballpark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The Beretta 92/M9 is a good pistol. I've taught, shot and qualified with it several times, over many years. I get that there was a contract for thousands of them. I think for military service, it has served it's time well and it's time to retire. I do like the gun for what it is. But, we can streamline the functionality of employing a handgun by going to something hammerless. I'm not even biased toward any one make or model. The M2 is clunky and bulkier than what I would prefer to carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Buddy was an Army MP for 14 years (aploded in Iraq and medically discharged). She carries a Glock but loves her 92fs. I love them too. Would love to have on for a night stand gun. Great place to start. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I chose the CZ 75 over the Beretta. I think all Sigs come with SRT and night sights stock now which neither the CZ 75 or Beretta do. If they did come stock with those options/ features the price tags would be damn near the same.

jevans Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've owned several Beretta 92's. I've shot thousands of rounds through them and never had a jamb or misfire. As you start shooting it, I think you'll like it. They are a little heavier than other guns with lighter materials being used, but I don't think you'll have an issue with the weight. Good Luck with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I like them and want to have one someday. There are several other pistols I would rather own before, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have the Taurus PT-92. I love the gun. Shoots great, smooth light trigger, accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief8one Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It was a touch on the pricey side, but I have always wanted one. I'll admit that it was an impulse buy, but I couldn't be happier. I like the size the size and weight of it actually. I had never shot a pistol until I bought this guy and I was pretty damn accurate with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasser-Hanbali Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 my dad has had a 92FS since 1992 and has since handed it down to me. it was the handgun i learned to shoot with i still love it many thousands of rounds later still works like a champ. i have however found a new love in the walther PPQ and looking at picking one up, but i will always keep the 92 close by.
