Well, I took my Beretta 92 out today for a test run. WOW, this is so nice! I cant believe it took me 6 months to take it out. What a looser:tongue: :tongue: Anyway, it ran so good. I put 200rds through her with NO malfunctions of any kind. I fed her Wolf, American Eagle, and Federal Hydro-Shok. She liked them all:danceban: It was the only one of the day to function perfectly. I have new respect for Betetta now. Its just so easy to shoot good. :hand10: :hand10: I just thought you guys may want to know:smilez:
Yes, you are correct. I thought about that as I was typing. I was wondering if I was going to get hammered for posting it here in the 'Concealed Carry Guns' section. Sorry bout that guys. I do not carry my 92 on my person. It is my truck gun. Its comforting to know I have 16rds with me while away from the long-guns:wink: :wink:
Beretta's are great guns. They are the only autos I ever shot that would eat any kind of ammo and never jam. They are very well made. Congrats on the new gun.
Thanks alot fellas!! Its good to know there are some of you out there that like the 92. Yesterday I took a 'ribbing' from some guys that look down on the 9mm AND the Beretta. One talked about it not being accurate I found it ot be EXTREEMLY accurate at the 25 feet I was shooting. Anyway, let me ask you, how do you like the 18rd flush fit and the newer 20rd Mec-gar mags? I see maybe a set of Hogue wrap-around grips and a 20rd mag on my 92 as a VERY combat ready pistol!!! Thoughts??
Careful with the mags... the more rounds you stuff into a mag the less reliable you become.
Taken care of proper, the 92 is a great gun. It lost some respect from the military and that flowed into the civilian market. The fact of it is the militarys guns get beat to death.... the Beretta is not the most robust design.
I really like my standard 92, and love my Elite 92. They dont see any carry duty, but they do see a fair amount of range time.
Regarding the mags, that's not the case with these extra capacity mags which are made by Mec Gar. They are excellently designed and made. Grab some of those new Mec Gar mags....you'll end up loving them. I have some, but haven't used them yet. I do have a couple of Mec Gar's "old" design 20 round magazines and haven't had a problem with them after shooting several hundred rounds with them.
I've seen (as I'm sure you have) M92's in Iraq and other places with little traces of anodizing left and they worked fine according to the user. I understand that some military units received locking blocks that didn't deserve getting installed in cap guns let alone a firearm and they caused much grief. Some folks on the Beretta Forum have shot tens of thousands of rounds through their M92's and M96's.
Bah.......never had any problems with my M9 in the military and liked it so much, I bought one when I got out because they WERE so reliable and "robust". Easily one of the most solid pistols ever made and certainly holds a place next to other great pistols like HK, Sig and Glock.
