Beretta 92FS or 92A1 for IPSC

I'm using my Beretta M9 in production division IPSC at this very moment. No modification to it whatsoever and it's fine. I literally had zero stoppages with it since I got it.

The only thing I'm worried about is the plastic magazine baseplates. They developed cracks early on in my IPSC adventures but they've been holding on...

lots of non matching parts, did you do this yourself, or get it that way?
 
This is a US model that came with black controls. I replaced all of them except for safety, all of them are factory chromed except for the slide release.
 
90 series should be fine, older ones may break the trigger return spring at some point, the new ones have been upgraded and older ones will accept the upgraded spring. like with any firearm keep it clean and well lubed and you will be able to put thousands of rounds through it between rebuilds.

I've used my own 92fs for some IDPA practice nights and for one club monthly match.

The one thing that has caught me on a couple of occasions when I rack the slide after shooting dry and switching mags is that the decocker/safety is just way too easy to swing down to the "safe" position when gripping the slide by the rear area. I've ended up uselessly pulling the trigger with nothing happening then have to shift the lever back to "Fire" with the resulting lost time. And it is NOT a lever that falls readily to hand or thumb so it pretty much requires me to shift my left support hand grip to flick the lever up.

The gun is great, I really like it. But this safety location issue is a deal killer. It's just far too easy to flick the safety on when you don't want it.

I suspect that more than a few soldiers have found the same thing.
