Tell me about the Beretta 90 Two.

[Bluedragon]

Got the chance to handle one while I was down at the Indy 1500 last Friday. I will admit I didn't like it to much when I saw it online...but after playing with it, and getting a feel for it. I have to admit I liked it. I still prefer the "old school" Beretta 92FS, but I wouldn't mind picking one of these up sometime either. Plus I thought the rail cover that can be slid on and off was a nice touch.

But then again, I haven't ever fired or handled one. My experience is limited to the traditional Beretta 9's. So tell me what you think of yours and any input would be appreciated!

he 90-Two represents the continuing evolution of a legendary pistol. It introduces new improvements to form, fit and function, while maintaining the integrity and reputation of its predecessor, the world famous 92FS. Although the 90-Two offers more individualized performance, the operating controls are identical to those of the 92FS/M9/M9A1, making it completely familiar to those already trained in the use of the older pistols. Many of the internal components, as well as the magazines, are completely interchangeable with those of the previous generation 92 series. Here are the new features:



A. Slide Serrations: Increased surface area
for better grip during slide retraction.
B. Updated Styling: Beretta once again partnered with the world-famous Giugiaro Design industrial design firm to enhance the appeal and ergonomics of the 90-Two.
C. Weight Reduction: The skeletonized
frame of the 90-Two grip design has resulted
in a lighter pistol.
D. Removable Front Sight: Allows user to
replace existing sights with accessory sight
systems or replace damaged sight.
E. Internal Recoil Buffer: Increases service
life by reducing stress on the receiver created
by the more powerful .40 S&W ammunition.
F. Individual Size Grips: Single-piece, wraparound,
technopolymer grip is user replaceable
with an optional smaller grip. Allows
user to select most comfortable size, while
reducing the part count by thirteen.
G. Magazine Capacity: Increased to hold
up to 17 rounds in 9mm and 12 rounds in
.40 S&W. Magazines from standard 92 series
models are completely interchangeable with
those of the 90-Two
H. Caliber Availability: The 90-Two is available
in both the 9mm and the .40 S&W.
I. Accessory Rail: The frame of the 90-Two
has a Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail for rapid
attachment of tactical lights and laser aiming
devices. Includes removable rail cover.

While the 90 dash two is a really nice pistol, Beretta is trying to update something that is recognized as already a great design. From what I have heard, sales of the 90 dash two aren't the greatest, and knowing how Beretta likes to add models, and then cancel them, I wouldn't be surprised if this new pistol isn't around much longer mainly because the 92FS has such a big following, not because the 90 dash two has anything wrong with it.

As a Beretta 92 collector, the 90 dash two is on my list. If you like it, get it while it is still available.

I like the 90-two. I'd never seen it before right now, but I think it's cool looking

The 90 dash two is on my want list. Love the 92fs, but you can't have too many toys.

Had I known that, I'd have called you when we had those two used ones in at the shop a few weeks ago.

I've heard they're good pistols. Basically an upgraded 92FS. And owning a 92FS, I can agree with every one of those upgrades listed. One of these days I will probably get one.

Let's hope for late next month. I gave you this months firearm money when I saw you the other day!

Now that I am retired I am on a self imposed one firearm a month budget!
