Beretta 92A1...Easy Cheesy Take Apart

[curraheeguns]

I ordered in a Beretta 92A1 as my host gun for a new 9mm can I have coming in just because I have always wanted a Beretta 92 and I liked the fact that it was one adopted as the M9A1 by the USMC.

I was floored about how stinking easy it is to take down and put back together for cleaning. I also really like the new buffer on the frame.

I just wish it was made in the USA!

Nice! I love my 92

 

[VUPDblue]

Wait. What? You got an Italian 92 and you're complaining?

The 92A1 is a different beast. But Beretta does offer a 92FS Type M9A1, which is the commercial equivalent of the USMC gun:

Very nice weapon! Congrats

The 92 series are amazing pistols. Not only are they easy to take down for cleaning, but they are very accurate and as reliable as the sun coming up!

Now that you have the 92A1 made in Italy, you will need the 92FS Type M9A1 made in the USA.

By the way, even though they are for all purposes identical, many people prefer the Italian one just because Beretta is an Italian family owned manufacturer.

so sexy

These are beautiful guns...I used to have one of the 92's but sold it when my daughter was born. I can shoot it more accurately than my Glocks

Us dumb Marines need a gun that's easy to take down... Can you imagine a bunch of meatheads sitting around trying to take down something with more than 3 parts? Plus they never break. Never. That's a good thing when your pistol moonlights as a hammer!

I will post some pics of it after it is threaded with the can.

My favorite handgun is my Italian made 92FS. Smooth, accurate, reliable.

I've got a couple of the 92s including the Marine Corps engraved model with the red grips and presentation case. I've always loved the 92. They remind me of a Mack truck. Solid, well built and will probably outlast anything else. I looked at the 96 in .40 S&W, but ended up getting the PX4 Sub Compact in .40 S&W.

Now, I keep waiting for Beretta to come out with the .45ACP version of the 92. I'd buy 2-3 as soon as I could get them. I doubt if it will happen, but I still keep hoping.

I finally shot a 92FS while on my honeymoon ('08), the wife shot it as well. It shot well and felt good.

I hope the 92A1 will be my next handgun purchase (with any luck it will be quite soon).

Next steps, turn it into the Auto 9. I figure the rail would help with this.

 

[VUPDblue]

An auto would be fun but I'm afraid that is not a legal option.

 

[ThePhantom86]

Of course. It would be for looks only, not really full auto.

 

[curraheeguns]

Of course. It would be for looks only, not really full auto.

And of coarse after you pay the $200 NFA tax for a Form 1 to manufacture an AOW, right??

 

[VUPDblue]

You can't put a grip on the rail either...

Dang! Scooped by mere seconds!

Our shop contract machinest is going to try it. My brand new in the box 92A1 is the guinea pig. We have very detailed AAC drawings so it shouldn't be bad.

Did you expect any less on an NFA question!!!
