Beretta 92s surplus vs 92fs

[thebutcher]

Hey guys. Looking at a 92s for purchase. (I know, HURRY UP)

Can those who have one or both tell me the difference between the 92s and the FS model, other than age, magazines release location and the lower sight line?

Is the 92s basically the same model with a DA/sA trigger?
Is disassembly/assembly the same?

I’ve read that the 92s has a “straight slide”, what is that and how is that different from the FS version?

Same disassembly process. Different sights. Also fs has a pin that would prevent the slide from flying back if it were to break.

Maybe you meant straight dust cover not slide?

^^^Quite possibly, as I’m new to the handgun game.

The S model has a rounded (classy and aesthetically pleasing) trigger guard.

They make parts for the 92F
They won't be making them for a 92s
