Your Questions Answered
Is the Beretta 92FS a good choice for a first handgun?
Yes, with consideration. Its size and weight help manage recoil, making it easy to shoot accurately. The manual safety provides an added layer for new shooters. However, its full-size frame may be less ideal for concealed carry compared to compact models.
What is the difference between the 92FS and the M9?
The primary differences are cosmetic. The M9 has a straight dust cover, different grip checkering, and no radiused backstrap. The 92FS has a radiused backstrap and a slanted dust cover. Functionally, they are identical in operation, reliability, and parts compatibility.
Are there common upgrades for this model?
Many users opt for a D-spring to lighten the double-action pull. Our staff also notes that the 92FS pairs well with the extended slide release for faster reloads. Grips, sights, and guide rods are also popular upgrade paths.
