Hey guys so there was a 4 page thread for these things but it was taken down by the original vender I assume because you can’t buy them anymore, but anyway I’d like to have a thread for owners so that people can talk about upgrade bits and parts, common issues and fixes, etc etc
Beretta 92s +Italian police surplus+owners and discussion
- Thread starter B-lake
- Start date
I’ve done a few things to mine, new hammer, hammer spring, upgraded trigger etc etc, I bought a new barrel but it turned out to be the wrong size barrel
Now I’m looking for maybe an original slide I can drill some holes for a red dot or maybe does anybody know of an upgraded slots that works?
This thread I hope will just be a buncha owners who’ve tried things and are knowledgeable on these particular berettas

LOL yes I guess I was. They were sitting at Elwood Epps for $550 and not selling for the longest time. I had already spent a tidy sum on hand guns and was a bit wallet weary but I thought as Oct 21 neared they may discount them for a day or 2 but alas they did not and I got preoccupied and forgot to order in time when the hammer finally fell.
If transfers ever open up again I will be looking for one.
I bought one of these 92s surplus pistols out of curiosity for the 92 as a platform in general. Mine has definitely been used, I detail stripped it and scrubbed it and oiled it but the bluing was fairly worn in places, the roll pins had been hammered out a few times, it had been dropped on its front sight before, definitely been used more than most I feel.
I slapped some new LOK grips on it and loaded it up with some 124gr ball and hit the range. I don't think I've had so much fun with a pistol before. It didn't miss a beat. It ate 250 rounds and felt great, like I had been firing it all day everyday. Just super familiar and intuitive. I think I put 2k through it that season in total before another strip, clean, oil regimen.
I was in such a rush towards the ban deadline that I wasn't able to pull together all the cash I needed to buy a 92a1 like I wanted. There were a few floating around but they were all higher-end models. I really loved the coyote Tan version that came in an ammo box. Still kicking myself for not breaking out the CC for one of those.
In the end I did end up getting a Girsan Regard in a very similar configuration. Frustratingly, it's everything I wanted it to be (and a far cry from the poorer QC on Turkish shotguns). Now I can only imagine how nice the real deal would have been.
Anyways, I'm still up a real Beretta and a solid-performing clone so I got that going for me. I think I want to slap some wood grips on the old girl and let her rage on some steel this spring.

I bought one of the surplus M51, and installed new grips. It is an excellent shooter.
The single stack mag makes the grips more comfy.
Wow, that is a beautiful pistol. Those grips really add to it. If they were selling them like that I would have jumped on it.
