I have to say up front that I’ve never been a fan of the Beretta 92/M9. This was a major reason for the high capacity 9 mm becoming so popular in law enforcement. The FS designation indicates an enlarged hammer pin that was the response to failures supposedly resulting from firing sub-machinegun rounds, more on this later.ĭue to the sheer numbers that the military was ordering and the fact that these new pistols were being manufactured in Accokeek, Maryland it was a foregone conclusion that this pistol would be adopted by police departments (especially in Maryland).
It is fed by a 15 round staggered detachable box magazine. The "F" and "FS" (for Federal) models have a safety lever that also functions as a de-cocking lever. The Beretta Model 92 is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol that has a double-action first trigger pull, followed by a single-action trigger pull for subsequent rounds. Let us just say that the 9mm Beretta won out over the Sig P226 due to cost issues and replaced the 1911 because civilians said it should.

That subject would be full of conjecture and, in some cases, anger. I will not delve into the politics of such a decision. On this day the United States Army adopted the Beretta 92F as their sidearm choice, designating it the M9.
January 14 th, 1985 is a noteworthy day for the United States military.
