My good man, thank you. After spending hours upon hours looking for a 92FS shooting video that does not play trash music, shooting steel or playing with fake 3D bullets, thank you.
I don't know why so many gun channels put over-the-top music. If you wanted to listen to music I would go to a music channel. This is what gun channels should be. Not action or comdey movie wannabes.
My brother in Christ, God will bless you. May your pockets never run dry again 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤.
I am an armed security guard and i carry this as my duty gun. All of my co-workers carry glocks and i get a ton of shit from them for what i carry. I would say about 1 in 4 of them have had their glock jam up on them. If you buy the 92fs BRAND new, clean and lube it after shooting it, you will NEVER have a problem with it. Use Beretta brand magazines to be safe. I trust mine with my life. I have not had a single malfunction with mine, and have about 1500 rounds in it so far. Great firearm, one i will take with me to my deathbed. I want the INOX version.
Which type of fore sight of this pistol.?
Damn pussy Glocks, Beretta 92 is a man's pistol
Amen
Handles the Hornady critical defense ammo well.
I fell in love with the Beretta 92FS ever since I saw it in the movies Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. And later on when I saw it in the Resident Evil games it definitely made my love for this beautiful gun even stronger.
😎💪👍
Resident evil was when I fell in love with it
@@oldmanjenkins771 Same. Although I have a M9A1 which is just a 92fs with a light rail.
He has a Dunder Mifflin shirt on and Michael scott uses a berretta 92fs in Threat level midnight. Secret Easter egg or coincidence??
Indubitably
OreGear is the scranton strangler confirmed

I fell in love with it when i saw it on display way back 1986. I was 14. After 30+ yrs i got my italian m92f (2nd hand, made in '85, i was told). Still my edc/sidearm. Still reliable.
Same age as mine
92fs was my first pistol I bought when I turned 21. I love it. It’s a great shooter smooth. I carry a G26 and it’s a great pistol too but there’s no denying the 92 is way smoother to operate than the G26.
ha i just turned 21 and bought a 92fs 🤣
Love my 92A1. My first semi auto, reliable, easy to get full a purchase, shoots well, and iconic look. Added perk if you run out of ammo it's basically a chunk of steel in your hand.
I love my 92FS bought new in 2000. I own several 9mm firearms, and I agree with the comments made about newer guns having different upgrades standard, but I appreciate the absolute Rock solid dependability of the Beretta brand, and this particular model. Excellent informational review!
I've got one of the M9A3 that I'm playing with right now. Sweet pistols.
Just picked up a great used one today at our local gun show as my first firearm. I’ve just loved the Beretta 92 ever since I was a kid playing Resident Evil and seeing it in all other kinds of pop culture. Getting a gun and ammo has become kinda tough during these times, so I wasn’t sure what I was gonna be able to find, but my goodness, I’m so happy I was able to acquire one of my favorite guns ever. Great video. Great breakdown of everything about the gun. Much appreciated.
Gotta love those Italian models ❤️
Just bought a FS 92 Italian model. Love it. Still one of the best IMHO
A few US military service members on forums have confirmed more recent batches of M9s also have the same polymer/polymer-coated parts found on the commercial model. The fluted polymer guide rods actually help prevent the recoil spring from binding up when dirt/sand get jammed inside. Literally the only difference you'll see with the milspec models it the MPI proof marks.
. My wife broke her right hand yrs ago and has arthritis due to it. She prefers my 92fs over the glock 19 because, as she feels it, the beretta doesn’t hurt her hand as much as a glock. Not sure if you’ve traded it away yet (video is kinda old), but if you haven’t traded it, don’t. You’ll regret it and end up buying another anyway, lol. Keep up the good work!
Picked up a Beretta 92 because it was the handgun Snake used in the NES version of Metal Gear
Was a Marine from 1987-1994. Was initially issued a 1911. Swapped to Beretta. I could shoot the issued 92fs way better. My only gripe was the long trigger pull on first round. Other than that loved and still love that gun
It's the Lethal weapon gun AND the Die Hard gun! That's all I need to know. I'll take it!! The End.
And the handgun of STARS members in Resident evil.
@@harizotoh7 And Max Payne's gun (until he swaps it for the Taurus PT92, its Brazilian counterpart, in Max Payne 3). :)
I was Air Force EOD, we ran M9 and GAU/GUU-5
I honestly can’t say how I would stack it up performance wise against something like a Glock, but what I will say is that the Beretta “feels” way more like what a gun should feel like to me. It feels super good in the hand, it looks good, and it does what I need it to do. I even like the slightly harder kick. I’ve never used any of the models with poly parts, and I honestly don’t know that I’d want to. It’s just a really pleasing gun. I know all of that is subjective, that’s just how I feel.
It wouldn’t be the first gun I grab if someone broke into my house at night, granted, but it’s one I really like riding my hip.
That’s all fair enough
i have a older model 92fs , its a used police gun made in 1999, very minor holster wear. has the metal controls before beretta went to plastic. shoots great.
One of my, if not my favorite firearm of all time. Yes, T2, Die Hard and Resident Evil had something to do with it. I finally, finally got my own M9 a month ago and already put it through 640 rounds and one good cleaning!…Gave me a good “M9 slide pinch” too but I love shooting it. Such a fun smooth shooting gun!
One of the most reliable pistols ever manufactured, and very sexy at that. Especially if you upgrade the grips, get an INOX barrel, and get front slide serrations
Lethal weapon made me love this pistol.
Love my beretta 92 fs (Italian made) the 9mm is very cost effective for target practice and the pistol is very reliable and I have found a lot of surplus mags pretty cheap. And did I mention it's a classic.. die hard.. lethal weapon.. terminator 2.. and on and on.
Love the beretta 92fs. Got me one the moment I was able to.
I was just holding one in my FFL this morning and I was surprised how light it felt. It was lightly used, only $500, but all of my other guns are Sig Legions and 1911s so I found the lack of weight off putting. Then again, the Sig 226 legion next to it was $1266, so it’s a bargain in many respects. I have my eye on another TRP so I think I will wait. Great video, the first of yours I have seen, but I subscribed.
Just bought my 92fs just waiting for my bg check to clear, can't wait to get to the range with it. It's been a long time coming to have one. I know some glock guys frown upon it but it's just one sexy pistol .
You did alight, Thank you for making this video. I like my Beretta 92fs. And hopefully you will get many years of enjoyment/reliability from yours as well.
Im a lefty myself and the beretta 92FS/M9 is favorite handgun a bit more oldschool which is why i like it all i use for the slide release is my trigger finger
92's are just great shooters! The only real ding I can give them besides being a little "chunky" in the grip, is that as a left handed shooter my support hand thumb likes to rest on the trigger bar on the outside of the frame and sometimes I randomly add 4-7lbs to the trigger pull.
Need to keep a classic in the collection. Don’t get rid of it! Get your 92x or M9A3 but keep the OG!
I use to have a G17 shooting at 15 to 25 yard will shoot ok and to the left 4 year ego got my self a beretta 92FS oh my God at 25 yard you can hit what you see right on target with this pistol I love it and sold my g17 for the beretta
My first 92 probably about 1980 had mag release at bottom of grip the others were like this one and a couple of stainless. Never shot the m9 before. My son started shooting one when he was 8 he is 35 now and is more into ar and ak rifles and pistols. They still remind me of Diehard .
Funny you said Diehard soon as i sent that. Yippee
The "heel" release models are the 92S. They take special mags or you can just get a cut out on the regular mag for the release. You can usually find trade in models for a couple hundred less than a surplus M9.
An excellent review. Very thorough. Thanks.
I can't wait to buy one. I love these things.
I have to say, that the accessory rail might be more practical, but it takes away from the aesthetics of the gun. There are very few guns as sexy as a rail-less Beretta 92, in my opinion.
Baretta 92FS served US military for twenty years before they switch to the different brand. The Baretta is heavier than the Glock but the recoil is less because of the mass.
10 yrs in military and I LOVE the M9 (92FS) I do carry a Springfield defender (XD) these days !!!
Nice review. Really enjoy my 92FS - very accurate shooter.
Going to gift my dad this gun for Father’s Day. It’s his dream gun!
I love mine 92Fs very accurate Weapon 👍
Just got one an hour ago can’t wait to try it out
The Beretta is a beautiful hand gun. Wish I could shoot one in my life.
love the sound quality in your vids! love the shooting footage from the side. and nice shooting!
I have a M9A1 that I winter carry. Love it. I believe the M9a1 has a beefier squared trigger guard also as compared to the FS.
I had to have a 229 Legion, and a M9A3... I still like the M9A1 better, but I put VZ “thin” grips and it feels better with the grips over the slant of the vertec frame (to me). I did replace with a g model decocker, extended mag release, and d-spring.
Other than being stuck with the front sights, this is a great weapon. I like the Legion, yes, ( and the A3 is cool) - but the M9A1 with the thin grips is awesome.
I carry a 92A1 (Italian made with the accessory rail). It's had some upgrades. I got Beretta's drop in G conversion to make it decocker only. I also put in a lighter hammer spring which makes the double action trigger pull much easier. I also put in a heavier recoil spring to help reduce wear and it probably reduces recoil as well. I also got a fiber optic front sight put on it.
I have some wooden grips that are just for show. They have my favorite band's logo engraved on them and were even autographed by the front man. The wood isn't textured though so it's too smooth for carry.
The 92A1 is my edc. My setup is very similar to yours. I guess I watched lethal weapon too many times and finally decided to get one. I wanted a rail and removable sights. ( I still have the factory ones on mine) when I found out about the 92A1 I got it. I’ve had mine for about two years no malfunctions whatsoever after 2000 rounds. It’s a great handgun.
@@unclegene5372 Hell yeah Lethal Weapon! Everyone always talks about Die Hard but I loved Lethal Weapon far more. I just kinda lucked out when I got my A1. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I got it. I just wanted a full sized 9 for carry and my gunsmith just happened to have an A1 in the display case. It was a match made in heaven.
I have a 92 fs and I'd like to install a fiber optic front site. Did they dovetail the frame, or did they drill the existing site and install the optic.
Bought a Beretta M9 on 6 6 2022 that would be my 5th Beretta.
I love my berreta 92fs brigadier.
Difference?
Snag an LTT with the trigger job from Langdon...I was a total naysayer and hated the M9. The LTT will change your mind. So much that all my polymer guns now sit in the safe.
We had an LTT in our store for a while and I played with it a lot. It felt really really good
The Replacement Killers, Berettas all over the place.
Other than 'the cool factor' I never really saw the big deal in Beretta 92's but I bought the M9A1 and I absolutely love it and that's after having a Glock 17 for years and also having a Glock 19. After shooting polymer framed pistols for a long time I found the recoil on the Beretta to be almost nothing so I don't know how you experience more recoil with the 92. The thing with the M9A1 stock is the trigger is stiff as hell but with that, there really isn't a need (in my view) to ever carry it with the safety engaged as there is no way with proper draw technique that you're gonna inadvertently fire off a round until you're ready. I have to say that if you've never had the experience, definitely get yourself a Beretta PX4 Storm because you won't be sorry. I got the PX4 and it's just about my favorite pistol now. I converted it to a G model with a Beretta kit and it's pretty damn awesome.
1) M9A1 does not have dovetailed front sight. beretta has dovetailed front sight on the following slides: vertec, brigadier, 92A1, M9A3
2) price difference between glock and a 92 variant is negligible
3) for defensive purposes, TDA offers major advantages over cocked-and-locked carry
4) newer 92 variants have a light rail (92A1, M9A3, 92x)
5) the 92 will run mec gar 18 rd mags with 100% reliability; that is 3 rounds more than a flush G19. it's not a comparison
Excellent review, the Beretta 92FS is on my short list of firearms to own soon.😁
They’re great pistols!
Rick Nethery's Firearm Channel I own one since 18 as my second pistol, only got it because of the look but still prefer to shoot a Glock 😀
@@2A5X4A Both are good, but Beretta 92FS does look awesome.
OreGear I live in CA so I am only allowed to have a 10 clip. How can a 15 or 18 clip fit in this gun? Are the clips the same size regardless of the number of bullets that can fit in it?
@@slade1446 The magazines "clips" are the same physical size, however the international capacity is limited by a mechanical block of some sort engineered into the reduced capacity magazine.
Good gun my e.d.c. Got used to.the weight and size now fully confident in carrying daily.
thedude69692009 I tried to carry it but I’m too skinny for it so I went with a Glock 19
@@2A5X4A i got fat so no more worries there
thedude69692009 best looking pistol imo, kinda wish I bought one with rail
@@2A5X4A mee too i bought the recover tactical bc-2 grip rail system for my beretta i realty like it check it out not very expensive either
Great review. Because you go into detail and you sound like an easygoing down to earth guy. Unfortunately I live in the uk and firearms are illegal. Probably my favourite movies that spark my interest in the subject, John Wick and the like.
Come to live in Texas. You won’t be disappointed. We love our Guns here
Just bought this today as my first pistol learning as much as I can about this bad girl
Uncle Ruckus gotcha👍
Me too
One of my favorite guns. Nice and effective. Definitely not the best, but it could get the job done.
In case you need those extra rounds for the final head shot.
I know the hinderance about the safety that many speak of being on the slide but as its pointed towards you or shown in movies that way it gives the gun a totally sexy look, glad I bought one in 1991 acck md picked up all round mags from Beretta site and still think its a keeper that I can't part with no matter what. Being 453 brand new at that time 92fs compared to many 3000 ones, mine only has 500 rds shot through and looks brand new like the day purchased I just love the thing. Probably going to purchase a newer Beretta, just love the shape of all of them etc. I like Wilson Combat EDC X9 type guns too but theres something about the Beretta that makes me drool. It's the perfect tv movie gun that none other could convince me they are using firearms that can incapacitate someone. To me it's a worth every penny and then some type of a weapon. I'd buy the same if recently released.
I saw one in a pawn shop and tested the trigger. The D/A pull was smoother than most pistols trigger in general.
If someone is shooting at me, I will be moving for cover. Once I have cover, I have a chance to cock the pistol. If the shooting begins at point blank range, as often deadly force encounters do, a double action trigger pull doesn't mean anything as for a disadvantage. The hype about DA/SA pistols being a disadvantage in a fire fight is bullshit. I will make sure I have it chambered with the safety off, or better yet, have a G model. As far as the recoil; I know that my personally owned Beretta 92 FS has less recoil than my Glock 17. Maybe your Glock is well broke in, yet, your Beretta has only cosmetic wear. I'm civilian army security, with almost 18 years of service with the Beretta M9. I never respected it highly until recently, ironically. The M9 got a bad reputation in the military mainly because of poor maintained/serviced weapons, that were ignored, and/or were supplied with parts from vendors that weren't factory spec.. I'm not a Beretta fanboy, but recently, I have grown to appreciate it more for what the Beretta M9 series pistol is; a great firearm. Thank you for your unbiased review.
Perfect Review!!
Beautifull gun. The DA makes it safe to carry with the safety off...besides a 1911 berettas are my favorite
the a1 and a3 come with 17 round mags
lol "or if you have to take over Nakatomi plaza"
I've never actually heard anyone say that a 92 has more recoil than a G19. I've always heard the Beretta 92 has the softest recoil impulse of any 9mm handgun. I guess I'll just have to fire them both for myself to feel what its really like. I could maybe believe the Glock is easier to control the muzzle rise, because of having a slightly lower bore axis. But in terms of recoil, I find it very hard to believe the Glock has overall less, due to the significant weight difference, as well as the Beretta having a locking-block non tilting barrel and the Glock having a Browning style tilting barrel.
The Beretta 92, only thing it needs that doesn't come in the box is ammo.
Because of lethal weapon I got a beretta.
That's the only reason you need!
I bought one because of Carlitos Way subway scene
For me it was resident evil, a biggie smalls song where he says “beretta putting all the holes in your sweater, the money getter”, and of course lethal weapon lol 😂
@@Ocelopilli hahaha yes I remember that song.
@@RabbiTosmiser oh that's right, it's a beretta in that scene. Nice I had to go back and look at it.
Great review! Very thorough.
Solid content
Beautiful pistol. Some draw backs: it’s very big for a 9mm. It’s pretty involved to detail strip the slide for thorough periodic cleaning. There’s some tiny pins to remove and a few very small spring in there, but I found a substantial amount of gunk in there and mine is gently used. And I personally don’t like two different trigger pull feels.
I love my Italian 92SB. 15,000 rounds and still ticking. New springs at 10,000. It’s good enough for Mack Bolan, good enough for me.
Boondock Saints is my reason for getting 1
Switching to the D-Model Hammer Spring (which can be had on Brownells for about $3.50) will improve the trigger pull quite a bit, and it's still a Beretta factory part.
92fs is the pistol that got me into 9mm,thank God i didnt go glock
8:00 a way to help with the hard d.a trigger pull is to install a d.spring / 16# hammer spring.
The recoil has more to do with bore axis. The lighter the gun, the more perceived recoil. But due to the higher bore axis, the Glocks recoil is delivered straight back vs. up. That’s what you’re noticing. Can’t really fight inertia. It isn’t less recoil. That’s not possible. It is better recoil.
One nice thing about a hammer gun. Limp wristing won’t produce misdeeds or Dre’s. That’s what the 92 will have over the Glock.
I’m in the market for one. Undecided on the model.
When I was in Security Police, we carried the S&W model 15's in .38😁
The only thing a light on your gun in home defense will do is let the criminal know where you are. I own a 92fs and you are right it does have more of a kick back than a Glock. Also it weights alot more.
Just ordered one
..if looks alone could kill..this is the one
Just picked up an M9 I’m loving it, it just looks so good!
I've been looking all over for an M9. Where did you locate one? Thanks.
Jon Boz saw they were on sale on budsgunshop Just she it shipped to my local guns store
@@nelsondimas8157 Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
the read the warning label and read manual before use stamp is a crime. I don't care if it says made in Italy, that warning stamp alone is enough for me to buy an M9 over this haha
My beretta 92fs is the inox version, its date code is 1995. All the part on mine are metal, decocker, mag release, gudie rod all metal.. no polymer i can find anywhere..
The Matrix Gun
You must practice that first shot in double action, once you master this the following shots are very accurate,it is an awsome home defense handgun, top reliability and you can expect 50yds combat accuracy😊😊😊❤❤❤
Used one FS when rookie in military and didn't felt any recoil impulse: thought it would muzzle rise and kick as in movies but not at all.
my favorite pistol
good review, I always liked beretta, its a nice gun. I don't know why they always reference the movie Die Hard all the time when its been used in other great movies like Lethal Weapon, Leon The Professional, Carlitos Way, or Terminator 2 Judgement Day, The Matrix and so many other movies. but all in all its a great reliable gun
Good stuff bro as always
My all time favorite. Still prefer this to any gun. Any
I honestly don't understand the issue with the long trigger pull on the first round. This is a very safe weapon to carry decocked and ready to go and the pull in no different than a good sized revolver.
Unfortunately i live in cali i only get 10 round mags
Hopefully not for much longer
@@OreGear hopefully i can go into reno nevada and get standard mags just sucks having to drive a few hours out of state
Nice review!! I am “fresh” owner of Walther PDP, FS 4,5” and I am thinking about change that polymer gun with this Beretta. Would it be a good choice? 👀😁
I would say the Walther is a more practical gun
If a deeper dive is desired. Check out folks like Ernest Langdon, Bill Wilson, Ayoob, etc. They use it real world and competitively.
I'm rather shocked to hear the opinion that the Beretta 92 has more recoil than a glock 19. If you google "lowest recoil 9mm semi-automatic" you'll see many people on various forums claim that title belongs to the Beretta 92/M9 (along with the PX Storm, steel frame CZs, and 9mm 1911s ).
There are people in forums who will tell you that Taurus makes good guns too. Doesn’t make it true. I can only speak from personal experience.
@@OreGear I'm not talking about some random yokel, I'm talking about what appears to more or less be a consensus of (seemingly) experienced, knowledgable people across several popular forums and over the past couple of decades.
Anyway, I had no intention of disparaging your opinion. Just surprised, that's all.
I guess it goes to show how subjective recoil can be.
The A1 and A3 models actually come from the factory with 17rd mags. You can always order them through Beretta but they are a little pricey compared to the 15s. The 18rd MecGar mags feed ball ammo just fine but if you were going to use them with carry I would definitely test them with your ammo. I carry Critical Duty and it did NOT want to feed.
They're always going on sale. I got all the ones for my M9A3 at around half off.
My M9A1 came with the factory PVD coated 15 rounders but I've since upgraded to the Mec-Gar 18 rounders (Mec-Gar makes Berettas OEM mags)
Firstly the 92 series is a fantastically capable and serviceable handgun in all its da/sa glory I find it to be more accurate than myself and recoil is no issue, thing that irks me personally to really get a high grip at least for me the under trigger guard area and beaver tail are points of physical contention as they tend to rub badly (LTT I hear remedies that ) but overall not a major issue
moot points: 1) "it broke in the military trials" it was an ammo issue, that is ammo made out of spec broke the slide. Unlike civilians militaries use the exact same recipe of ammo everytime all the time so their gun really only need to work well with exactly that ammo. 2) "I hate the slide mounted safety" don't be a baby so what if you gotta reach a little more if you are decocking it should only be because you are currently safely able to do so and if this is the tool you have develop accordingly and become proficient in its operation. Or get a new gun lol.
The 92 is definitely far more accurate than I am. I took a friend to an indoor range once and we shot my 92. Our targets were 8X10 at 20ft. I was getting a 6" group and about a quarter of his shots were off the paper. He was complaining because "the sights are off". I knew the range safety officer was a competition shooter so I called him over and asked him to put a 5 round group on a fresh target. He got a 2" group.
Would love a Wilson combat m92 there just amazing
The Langdon Tactical 92s are excellent as well.
@@OreGear did not know they did custom 92 very cool
I actually think they feel better than the Wilsons
@@OreGear does Mazamas get them in ever??
Berretta la migliore i assoluto, molto precisa gran bella arma
Just saw one in the pawnshop it was four something I like them every since playing Max Payne on ps2 he had two of em 😊
gotta 92fs from 1992....it will still fuck you up!!!!!
