Our Assessment: This Beretta Model 92 is a single and double-action semi-automatic pistol chambered for 9mm Luger rounds. The pistol is an icon today, a later variant was selected as the standard issue firearm for the U.S. military 1985. This is a very early production Model 92 from 1977, made only a few months after production began. Early features of the pistol include a frame-mounted thumb safety and a magazine release at the bottom-rear of the frame on the left. Despite the modifications made to the model 92 resulting in the US military issued M9, this handgun is still a solid workhorse with a sleek finish that remains mechanically sound. Beretta is currently the oldest manufacturer of firearm components in the world, the company manufactured arquebus barrels which were supplied to the Venetian fleet that defeated the Ottomans during the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The company remains one of the most prestigious firearms manufacturers in the world, and this pistol is an example of the quality firearms the company is renowned for. This is one Beretta you do not want to miss out on!
