About

Beretta 92FS Holsters One of the most recognizable pistols ever made, the Beretta 92FS is both an enduring classic in the firearms world as well as a robust and reliable duty handgun that has proven itself throughout its history. The 92FS is easily Beretta’s most successful pistol, having served as the sidearm for countless militaries and law enforcement units all over the world. Most notably, it served as the primary issue sidearm for the United States military from 1985 up until 2017, when it began to be replaced by the SIG Sauer M17/M18. In many ways, the Beretta 92FS is an iconic American firearm as well despite its Italian origins. It’s also one of the most customizable firearms on the planet, and there are a myriad of aftermarket parts and accessories for the weapon as well, including Beretta 92FS IWB holsters and Beretta 92FS OWB holsters . In this review, we’ll cover the evolution and history of the Beretta 92, and then we’ll discuss the features and specs of this pistol that make it a unique option on the market today. Evolution of the Beretta 92FS In many ways, the Beretta 92 represents an evolution of the Walther P38 pistol, which served as the standard issue sidearm for the German army from 1938 to 2004, and the earlier Beretta M1951. The 92 incorporates the locking block barrel design and alloy frame of the Walther P38 with the open slide design and general appearance of the M1951. The first variant of the 92-series was the Beretta 92, which was first released in 1976 and made until 1983. In 1978, the 92 was later developed into the 92S, which moved the frame-mounted safety to the slide and also added a decock function. The next variant was the 92SB, which moved the magazine release from the heel of the grip to the trigger guard like most American-pistols, and also added three-dot sights, a firing pin block, and ambidextrous safety/decock levers. This version was submitted for the United States Air Force trials, from which it emerged victorious. Beretta
