Finally, a Girsan review in english lol. Thanks for posting this and I look forward to an update a few thousand rounds from now. Your right on the lack of reviews on these. I managed to find one North American magazine review, a few threads on CGN and word of mouth from guys at the range with them. Overall everyone I've talked to really liked thiers. I'm hoping to pick up a full size model in the next few months.
I just picked up my Girsan Regard MC in FDE today, so far am loving it! Not fired it yet, but it feels great in the hand, and has probably the smoothest slide racking feel I have ever experienced, like on ball bearings! DA is, of course, a bit heavy, but glassy smooth to the break. I like your video review approach, just simple and down to earth, you got a "subscribed" from me!
i went to my local gun store this week and compared this side by side with a sig 226 and i preferred this way more. the trigger reset and slack was far superior to that of the sig
I just got an mc28, an M&P made by them basically, and I'm loving it for the price. 300 for a solid service pistol. Polymer frame, aluminum slide, striker fired with a glock like trigger.
Thank you for the review. Just a few additional comments for viewers. It's a clone of the FS92 because Girsan purchased the rights from Beretta as well as the dies and molds. I believe the mags are made by Beretta for Girsan without the Beretta name. And to the poster that mentioned the CZ 858, they are sold out because they are now prohibited by the RCMP..
You might not be able to get the CZ 858 (Dumb ass laws much) but you can still get the CSA VZ58, a little more costly, but otherwise pretty much the same rifle.
Great review. I have 2 of these, both full length, one is black as the one in the vid, and the other is the bright finish. Thousands of rounds of reloads have gone through these guns, with no trouble at all. To be honest, they have never been used with factory ammo. The mags are MEC GAR, which is an aftermarket mag manufacturer for the 92FS. So, actual Beretta mags do work. Girsans come with the finger grooves, and a full length metal guide rod. These would be custom options for a Beretta. If you're thinking about getting one, grab it now before the prices go up.
Just got mine last week! Traded in my Glock 17 4th gen for it...had to pay the tax thats it! Havnt fired it yet though! I have fired the Beretta multiple times and they feel the exact same in weight and feel! Wanted a Beretta but didnt want to pay the 940 bucks....Nice to have some weight...the Glock was too light...but it was nice and held its resale value great. Lets see it at the range eh!
you got your single and double action confused...i think...ill have to listen to it again. if you want to lighten the doubke action (long heavy) trigger, the order a "d" model beretta trugger spring and install it..easy to do with no gunsmithing experience required....or for even lighter, install a rear main spring from a 1911. i have and still use both of the simple mods in my various beretta 92/96 pistols
Rickervision Can you guys get 30 round AR15 magazines and use them in the Pump Action Rifles that use those magazines?? Looks like it would be a legal loop hole
Baretta vs Girsan they were tooled the I have the railed version. Smooth operation the by it being longer than the Glock 17 when shooting seems more powerful bang. The sight are nothing special double action is less trigger travel. Going to change asap
How can they legally copy Beretta and sell them cheaper in this country without violating copyright laws unless maybe they have some kind of feel with the Beretta company?
Lazy Kid LIKE TAURUS ... MADE WITH THE TOOLING AND MATERIAL SPECS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BRAZIL FACTORY WAS SOLD AND RENAMED TAURUS ... GIRSAN IS A LICENSED. COPY .. AND IS AT LEAST AS GOOD .. AND BETTER PRICE ... I USE MINE IN PLAC3 OF THE WEAR ON MY M9A3 FDE ..
Hey man, ordered this gun because of you.Sold out on Canada ammo but found it on wanstalls.com . Did you see the golden one? Ahaha it looks wicked ,but id never want to shoot it. Happy shooting, be safe!
I own that same Gun but myn is the Bright White version its the shinny one lol I have had myn for about a year and not one problem Flawless I love myn I clean her all the time I already have about 1,000 rounds threw her and no miss fires nothing and she is accurate to a T . youl love yours believe me .
and the handle is what bought me on this gun how it is shaped to my hands where the Beretta was just striate no groves for your fingers I love myn I even picked it over the beretta 92 and yes Girsan bought the Beretta line in Turkey and Beretta left all the Blue Prints and Machines behind .
I Am Turkish.I prefer Beretta Because Beretta Metal İs Better Than Girsan...Some Turkish Girsan Users Not Like Girsan...Girsan Website Wrote 30.000 Shot Of This Gun But Turkish Users Said 5.000-6.000 Shots Pistol Boom And Girsan Pistol İs Trash...
Canik S120 CZ 75B Clone And Almost Same Good.Canik TP9 Walther P99 Clone... Canik Good For Years But I Cannot Tell This Other Turkish Gun Factory... If You Havent Got Too Much Money You Should Buy Canik S 120 Or L 120(Ligth Version) Our Turkish Weapons Clone.We Havent Got Speical Design.I Prefer Orginal If I Got Enough Money... :) Our Many Gun Lovers Prefer Orginal Weapon Because Turkish Guns Being Good 5-6 Years... Our Government Has Supported The Arms Factory You Understand ? :)
dude! I am Turkish too..I bought a girsan 1911 before and immediately got rid of it right after i almost shot myself because of broken sear. I didnt know it was broken and all I had to do was to chamber a round ( with the index finger off the trigger of course). Next thing you know "BANG"..Dude that was f.king scary for it happened inside my home. When i called the gunsmith, he told me he repaired maybe 10 of these within past month and they all had the same problem. I should though, admit that these guns are cosmetically very nice and looks very authentic even though they are clones and i also think machining was pretty impressive..Turks need to use better material and make their parts available and interchangeable with the original brand firearms. Take care

you got your Double action and your single actionS confused with each other. good review on a good gun c;one
Thank you for the review. I have been considering getting one of these and I appreciate your feedback.
In the USA it's called the Girsan Regard and yes it's a great firearm!
I was wondering what the difference between my Regard MC and this was. And if you know is the Regard a closer replica of the f92 or the m9?
Nice concise review thanks very much. I'm in the buying mode now !!

has the extreme 9 been updated ?

I own a Stainless 92FS and want a black version. May look into one of these, maybe the M9 version with the rail.
The gun does not have a steel frame... The frame is aluminium with a anodised coating.
Thank you. Well done.
Just FYI, the frame is aluminum, not steel. Just like the Beretta.
What's the difference between the Girsan Regard MC and the Girsan Yavuz 16 Regard MC
How does the internals look. No tool marks remain like with Norinco?
The finish is perfect. No complaints about the build of the gun at all.
Awesome.
who is the US distributor for South Florida ?
biggest thing is the feel. it feels like the real one.
I haven't fired a real baretta e
Rickervision the girsan is identical.
It is a real one LICENCED barrel is hammer forged as is the slide is forged great quality
I have one of there on layaway at my local dealer. Comes with 2 mec-gar mags and I tested a m9 milsurp mag & it did fit. otd price was $405
Nice. you'll love it!
I have looked everywhere but don't know where to find this gun. any ideas?
Its more clean finish than the betetta and its cold-forged
Nice gun, you can always get a trigger job..
you got your single and double action confused...i think...ill have to listen to it again.
if you want to lighten the doubke action (long heavy) trigger, the order a "d" model beretta trugger spring and install it..easy to do with no gunsmithing experience required....or for even lighter, install a rear main spring from a 1911. i have and still use both of the simple mods in my various beretta 92/96 pistols
Hello, why does the magazine only hold ten? Can it not use full capacity magazines as well?
Shulk In Canada all handguns are limited to a 10 round capacity by law.
Rickervision Oh ok well that sucks luckily I live in Tennessee. Thanks for the response
Shulk Thanks for watching. Even worse than our handgun capacity is our rifles and shotguns. Only allowed 5 rounds in a semi-automatic centerfire
Rickervision Can you guys get 30 round AR15 magazines and use them in the Pump Action Rifles that use those magazines?? Looks like it would be a legal loop hole
there are some legal loopholes. go through my videos and look for the "PCV Beowolf .50" video. Loophole lets us make a 14 round magazine for AR15
If you're into the ak 47 type guns go for the Cz 858 rifle on Canada ammo sold out right now but you could probably get one in the near future
Is it compatible with Beretta 92 mags or will i have to hunt to find Girsans?
Haven't tried one. But I'd be amazed if baretta mags wouldn't work. It's the same gun.
I guess the fact that the magazines are made special in italy kind of answers it for me...
Yes they fit perfectly
Blamehoffman2501
Baretta vs Girsan they were tooled the I have the railed version. Smooth operation the by it being longer than the Glock 17 when shooting seems more powerful bang. The sight are nothing special double action is less trigger travel. Going to change asap
Is the frame steel or an alloy-aluminum ?
Aluminum
Check out the SAR B6P 9mm if your looking for a good quality Turkish pistol they are fantastic for around 300.00 polymer frame stainless slide
will do
How can they legally copy Beretta and sell them cheaper in this country without violating copyright laws unless maybe they have some kind of feel with the Beretta company?
Lazy Kid LIKE TAURUS ... MADE WITH THE TOOLING AND MATERIAL SPECS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BRAZIL FACTORY WAS SOLD AND RENAMED TAURUS ... GIRSAN IS A LICENSED. COPY .. AND IS AT LEAST AS GOOD .. AND BETTER PRICE ... I USE MINE IN PLAC3 OF THE WEAR ON MY M9A3 FDE ..
"Canada" subbed
Its not steel frame. Its aluminium.
Hey man, ordered this gun because of you.Sold out on Canada ammo but found it on wanstalls.com . Did you see the golden one? Ahaha it looks wicked ,but id never want to shoot it. Happy shooting, be safe!
I did see the gold one! It looks awesome, but it would probably have to be a safe queen. Personally I only buy guns I'm planning on shooting.
I own that same Gun but myn is the Bright White version its the shinny one lol I have had myn for about a year and not one problem Flawless I love myn I clean her all the time I already have about 1,000 rounds threw her and no miss fires nothing and she is accurate to a T . youl love yours believe me .
Found it, thumbed up xd
and the handle is what bought me on this gun how it is shaped to my hands where the Beretta was just striate no groves for your fingers I love myn I even picked it over the beretta 92 and yes Girsan bought the Beretta line in Turkey and Beretta left all the Blue Prints and Machines behind .
Girsan is using state of the art multi axis CNC machines at a high level iso ???
10 round magazin ?
+cedikatur In Canada, 10 rounds is the most we are allowed in any pistol magazine.
$499 for that pistol!?!? Move down here to the States cause I payed $325 for mine.
You don't seem to have a Canadian accent? Hey!
Girsan is great, but R. Kelly really pushed me toward Beretta.
You swapped Double action with Single action. The gun is in SA when hammer is cocked. Otherwise nice review
You're right, I never even noticed I got them backwards. Thanks for pointing that out. Lol
Bought one, trigger not to my liking though
16 and on the grip says 46
MY REGARD WAS PAID FOR AT 350 DOLLARS .... FDE. SEEN THEM AS CHEAP AS 325
Türkiye.
For the price...What the hell!
