Still effective after all these years. Good choice for a duty weapon. Easier to shoot well than the Glock IF an officer takes the time to master it. Glad to see they incorporated the heavier slide in the brigadier model.The weapon is a bit more temperamental than the Glock though and the Glok is easier for the average non-gun savvy officer to master. This is a weapon for gun people, along with Sig and HK products. Great choice. Just keep her oiled in humid environments!

Great weapon. The Army gave me one for six years and then when I went into Civilian Law enforcement I got it again. Couldn't be happier. Put the CTC Lasergrips on it great!!

Never liked it..

This weapon is currently being used in the Air Force for the Security Forces. I am sure when the weapon is new that it is great. Problem with the military is they use the same equipment over and over and never replace parts until they break. Every Berretta I have shot has been clanky and loose. I am sure it’s because of worn parts and not enough routine maintenance. Haven’t shot a new one or a personal owned Berretta.

Always loved the beretta. Great quality excellent price!

Great weapon. The Air Force issued me one for 4 years and then when I went into Civilian Law enforcement I bought my own. Then I went back to a Fed job and was issued the 92D.

While not my first choice, or second for that matter...it's department issue so I'm forced to deal with it. It's reliable, easy to maintain, and I trust my life to it. Biggest complaint overall would have to be the weight though, and I would not recommend it for concealed carry off duty.

I was first exposed to the 92F in the Marine Corps in 1988-1993, as we transitioned from the 1911. After 8,000-10,000 rounds the slide would come off, usually backwards at the shooter. Nothing could ever make me want to own one or carry one again. I will stick with the Sig P226 in .40 SW. Hassle free, no safeties and it has a decocking lever.

I use Beretta 98fs (the same pistol using 9*21 IMI caliber) since 1993, and I never had any problem. Surely it's too havy and bulky, expecially carring it on civilian dressing, but it's a great compromise of security and tactical use. PX4 Storm (that's a kind of evolution using polymers) will be surely better for police use.

Owned one for a while, but just fit my hands right.

I have used this weapon my whole career including the Academy. I shoot expert every time and have NEVER had a misfire, stove pipe, ect... Easy to diassemble and clean. Never corrodes.

The 9mm Beretta is the standard sidearm for the majority of U.S. Army Personnel. In fact, I believe it to be the only authorized pistola to use in combat. That said, there is no comparison to any other sidearm issued by the Army than say the Colt 1911 which, in my opinion is a far superior weapon. The Beretta is a fairly reliable weapon with low recoil and good accuracy. In my time using it, I have had no jams or misfires and hit my target everytime. The only drawback I would say is the fairly weak stopping power this weapon has against someone with either a tolerance for bullets or someone wearing body armor. But overall it's a decent weapon.

Fairly accurate. Safety features designed to protect yourself and others...ect...

This model has broke in my hands on four seperate occasions. Locking lugs, trigger return spring, even the safety lever broke in half. It's theoretically a fantastic firearm, but I have serious doubts as to whether I can depend on two high-caps going through without a stoppage or other malfunction. Most of the time it's great, but as I mentioned, four times this model has malfunctioned to the point where I would not be able to fire it. Scares the crud out of me to carry it.

Easy to clean though...

Although lacking in bullet size and weight, this has been my weapon of choice for the past 10 years. I started with an S&W mod. 19 .357 mag., then an S&W Mod. 59 9mm, a Colt .45 Combat Commander, and finally the Beretta.

I find it well ballanced and comfortable in nthe hand, especially if you replace the factory grips with a wrap-around rubber grip.

In all the time i have had this firearm, I have never had a malfuction when using quality ammo. However, I was having a problem with practgice ammo (reloads). To correct this, I had our local gunsmith polish the feed ramp.

To the writer who said "I have two words...STOVE PIPE", I would point out that any semi-auto pistol will experience a stove pipe jam if it is fired with what we call a "limp wrist". Any auto must be held firmly and the wrist should be rigid enough not to permit excess muzzle rise after a round is fired. Otherwise, the rising receiver will catch up to the expended shell casing and, as the slide moves forward, will snag the casaing in the classic stove pipe.

My only complaint is that the trigger for the first double action round is somwhat "heavy" and has a tendency to throw off the first round. After that, the single action is crisp and clean.

I bought this right after 9/11 to have at home. Very reliable and fits perfectly in my hand.

Used this gun while working as a P.I. in Santa Ana...very comfortable gun - especially with a set of Pachmayr grips. Had the 14-shot clip and always kept one in the chamber. Great 9mm pistol.

In 15 years, has never jammed and NEVER let me down

Best buy for a 9mm. Back in my days as salesman for a gun store this was the number one 9mm I reccommended and my opinion sticks to this day. Durable, dependable and accurate are the hallmarks of the Beretta 92 pistol. I had my old man buy my first one when I was 15 and I still have it with zero malfunctions and no upgrades. It continues to perform like an out of the box model. I have 2 more since then and all 3 are over 20 years old with a 100 percent track record of reliability from reloads to +P+ ammo. Despite the bad press the Beretta M9's I used in the Corps including combat operations also proved reliable and accurate as well. If you want a 9mm for any purpose this is the weapon, the only downfall is you won't want to put it down, be prepared to buy 1000s of rounds.

This is a good shooting gun that is mostly dependable. The major downfall here is the weight. When I went to a Glock it was like taking a ton of bricks off my belt.

The very first pistol I fell in love with and still a sentimental favorite. The ballistic equivalent of eating Lay's potato chips, I don't wanna stop shooting it. They say it's not an ideal pistol for people with small hands, but mind you, when I first shot it, I was 14 y/o, 5'1", 100 lbs soaking wet, with a corresponding hand size, and yet I had no problem shooting it accurately and comfortably.

Furthermore, in spite of its bulk, I've carried it concealed with surprising ease and comfort.

Last but not least, in M9 moniker, got me my first-ever Pistol Expert rating (in the USAF), HOOAH!

Loved it in the Marine Corps and I still love it today. Even after having shot one so much it came apart in mid-shot I still swear by it and have a matching set today. It's the most accurate, well balanced pistol I have ever had and just a lot of fun to shoot.

This is my first owned firearm. I've fired "Glocks", "Sig-40", "S&W" and I found my grip to fit tighter improving my accuracy with the Beretta. The S&W 9mm kept jamming up on me during basic firearm training. I qualified with the Beretta during the 40 hr. with no problems.

I carried the Beretta PS 92FS on duty for several years. Found it to be very durable and reliable. My model required that the safety be released before firing. It is a bit "bulky" but otherwise a very good service weapon.

Carried this as a primary duty weapon for 15 years and has never had a problem with it.

I used to own one. I never had the first moments trouble with it. It is a very good weapon.

Have carried one for over 13 years. I love to hear people retell the myths of this firearm. I've put thousands of founds through mine, everything from military ball to +P+, not a problem one. I now have a department issued Sig and love it too, but have no lack of confidence when carrying my 92.

The only weapon I carried on duty for many years in the military.

this is a great sidearm! First became acquainted with it in the military. I have carried a GLOCK for years and still love the GLOCK, but the Beretta is the issued weapon at my current position with the state of Illinois. Good hunting!

I have large hands and had trouble finding a grip and pistol to fit my hands. This one fit it to a tee, when I was working. The weight was good, it is a very ambidextrous pistol. I am right handed, but this pistol made me feel very comfortable in either hand. I am from a small city and we were not lucky enough for K-9 unit, so we did our own building searches. I liked this pistol on long building searches, like schools. I could switch hands and be fine with it. My back up wweapon was the Ultra Star Beretta. This was compact and also a 40. Calibre
