Optimizing the Beretta 92 for Self-Defense 

Optimizing the Beretta 92 for self-defense? Step 1. Load it. Done.

10,000 rounds without one malfunction. Not even one jamb, absolutely legendary in my opinion.

Beretta is an old design? So is the glock. Glock 17 is well over 30 years old and nobody complains about its design being "old".

You forgot Paul Harrell.

The 92 has earned its place among the best pistols ever made. It's a proven weapon. It's durable, reliable, and accurate. There's nothing outdated about it. It's a great shooter and a great shooter will always be a great shooter.

Law enforcement officer with the Los Angeles Police Department for 32 years and carried an Italian made 92fs for 28 years of before I retired. What a fine pistol. I loved it from the first time that I held it. Not a single malfuction during all those years of qualification and training days.

Safety is irrelevant on a 92 after all what about a Glock, I have used a 92F for 30+ Years and would not swap it to any other handgun - sure plenty more I have used and some may even be possibly better in certain ways but at the end of the day I will always reach for my Trusted Friend to the end, My 92F and I am sure ol Mel Gibson & Bruce Willis may of had some influence in the early years, but if its not broken why try to fix it, 92F & AK47 & I am Good 2 Go !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody ever talks about how an all-metal-frame pistol is better than a polymer-frame one at pistol whipping an assailant. You know, like in a self-defense type of situation....

Why does the Berreta get so much hate?Out of all the handguns I have shot in my life the Berreta was easily the most accurate pistol I’ve ever fired.

Been using this pistol for a serious self defense tool for YEARS. Didn't know it needed to be optimized.

Optimizing the Beretta 92:

All right!!! i"m a 60 yo noob!!!! just bought a 92fs to add to the collection. I feel young again

Novice shooter here. I love the Beretta 92FS. It's the most accurate for me so far, feels pleasant to shoot, and the double-action trigger appeals to me the way a revolver trigger does. At my current stage, that longer initial trigger-pull puts me more at ease with the gun.

I know this is an old video, however, I lover the fact that Beretta listened and we now have the 92X that has all the desirable features of the previous generations.

Ok enough pitting the 92 vs the 1911 . I love them both and I'm completely happy with mine . Happy shooting all !

Martin Riggs influenced my love of the Beretta 92

Just shot my first Beretta 92 this past weekend. I was quite surprised... very sweet shooter even in double action.

The beretta’s we used in basic training were beat to shit , and 95% functioned flawlessly

Love the 92fs. Love the look, feel and reliability. No complaints on how my avg sized hands hold and handle the firearm. You feel like your holding something of quality and substance. Safety is perfect because you’re not going to accidentally hit it. Same goes for that first double action trigger pull. Great gun.
