Any surplus Berreta 92S owners? Should I buy one??

[NordicSKS]

Im very interested in the cerakoted 92S for sale by Westernmetal. What are your experiences with them, I'm looking for a straight reliable shooter.


Thanks.

Don't own a 92S but have owned 92SB and FS. Other than the mag catch on the lower grip, it's a great reliable gun.

Cons would be like any other Beretta 92. Wider grips, fixed front sights, potentially heavy DA trigger and the Euro mag release.
I would recommend running the rails wet for a normal gun but with the Cerekote, it might be fine.

Yes get one you will enjoy it. The sights kinda suck and you get used to rhe heel release. I enjoy mine.

I also have a set of beautiful walnut geips for the 92s for sale if anyone is interested lol.

What Dirt said.

If the #### is wack, might want to look at a Girsan. Should be about the same price.

I bought both styles, albeit from a different retailer, when I saw how nice the first one turned out (Graphite Black). They look great, and seem to shoot fine. The sights are useless, but maybe it's just me. Harder to source mags if you want or need more than one.

Have had a Beretta 92 with heel mag release before & also a couple more modern ones with button release by trigger guard. While no longer enamored by any Beretta 92 the heel mag release was a pain. For that kinda money, I'd pass on it.

Yeah, as usual Dirt knows the score. For that price you'd likely find an F or FS on the EE. Mags should be easier to find mags for them.

Word to the street.

Save up a few more bills and pick up 92fs on EE
The heel release will be a hard resell if you don't like it and need to let it go

Beretta still puts the lower cut for S models on their magazines. Mec-Gar does not.

 

[Boomhauer440]

Get a brand new Girsan for $50-$100 less. The build quality is great, it won't have an unknown duty history, and they don't have the old fashioned heel mag release.

 

[IM_Lugger]

Go with FS version. Or as mentioned Girsan for less, which is a much better value then old surplus Beretta

 

[platnumbob]

I have never shot one but I can't imagine the mag release would be nearly as functional for fast changes. 92A1 is my vote, 92FS as a close second. Look for used on the EE.

too late y'all I threw down last sunday. just waiting for the transfer now. I will enjoy it. I get a lot of enjoyment from a surplus gun that has a story to tell. some will agree some will disagree, The heel release doesnt bother me. I fiddled with it in the store long enough to know, I learned to pistol shoot on a ruger Mk1 Which had a heel mag release. I really dont think this will be a problem
