Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the Beretta 92FS and the military M9?

According to Beretta's website, the civilian 92FS typically features a checkered grip and 3D white dot sights, while the military M9 has a straighter grip and may not have the white dot sights, though this can vary. The core operation and takedown are virtually identical.

How does the safety and decocker work on a Beretta 92FS/M9?

The safety lever on the Beretta 92FS/M9 doubles as a decocker. When engaged, it safely lowers the hammer. Crucially, it also covers the firing pin, preventing accidental discharge when the hammer is dropped.

What is the trigger type for the Beretta 92FS/M9?

The Beretta 92FS/M9 utilizes a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system. The first shot requires a long, heavy pull (double-action), while subsequent shots after the hammer has reset are short and light (single-action).

How do you field strip a Beretta 92FS/M9?

Field stripping is straightforward: ensure the pistol is unloaded, then push the spring-loaded button on the right side of the frame while swinging down the takedown lever on the left. This frees the slide for removal from the frame.
