Beretta 92FS

[@ndomkhanya4294]

I was encouraged by this review to consider my 92fs as my both my edc and home defense , I really find it to be a very nice and reliable gun. Out of all that I have shot namely glock 19 , taurus g3 .I find the ego's to be more convenient for me which makes me to be a good shooter with my 92fs . BIG UP To PB

Hickok45....did you know that it's been almost 7 years, as of this coming January, since you uploaded this video? You have come a long way in production upgrades and in overall video quality. I'm sure John has had a major hand in this as well. Makes you really appreciate the latest video's you guys have been filming in the past 2 years. I've very much enjoyed them!!! Thank you as always!

I think this was the first Hickok45 video I ever saw. Very informative. I've watch so many of his since. He's the only reviewer I watch.

[@48thurkdisl98]

I don't get why hickock prefers Glocks. Most collectors are attracted to the artistry, and elegance of a particular firearm. Half plastic, half plain Jane matte finish, I just don't see how you can look at a glock and find it desirable. Berettas have so much more style.

hickok45 Hickok, it is a great gun. The only malfunction I had was when a round swelled and got stuck in the chamber. Therefore, before loading the magazine, I slide every round into the chamber to make sure it is sweet. Then I don't think I have to ever worry about a malfunction. A little practice HIckok, and I'm sure you will find the Beretta is a much better shooting iron than any Glock I held in my hand. Of course, I could be wrong...it's been a long time since I held any Glock. The only thing that worried me was...jesus that gun is heavy fully loaded...but that's my wimpy problem and not the gun.

[@rippingratfink]

hickok is a shooter first collector second with his reviews. that is why he is respected and sponsored. he has the respect and love for gun art as do most of us. But at the end of the day hickok tells us what will work when it matters. ps i am not a glock person.grip angle.

[@andrearamallo5586]

hickok45 I have a Beretta 92fs and a Glock 17. For carry gun no doubt Glock is much more comfortable and that makes it more effective gun for self-defense. Anyway, Beretta is a much better made gun. I think Beretta is made for War and combat in extreme situations.

[@tuck234]

Andrea Ramallo The Marines in MARSOC might disagree with that statement.

[@douglasfulmer5483]

[@tscooter22]

I have the Italian made Beretta 92FS in stainless and a Glock 17. hickok nailed my impression of the Beretta exactly. The beretta fits my hand like a glove, but I shoot my Glock a little bit better. If a friend were to ask me to show them my favorite gun, I'd probably pull out the Beretta. If a robber asked me to show him my favorite gun, he'd get to see the Glock. :-)

[@hickok45]

Well, the reason is that once I discovered how well the Compacts and Subcompacts shoot and feel, I sold off my big old Glock 17. I started out with the Glock 17, of course, since that was the ONLY Glock back in the '80s.

[@Ripskiis]

It should've stayed that way, Glock is an overpriced $200 gun. HiPoint nano 😆

[@saleemsuliman3062]

[@California6567]

I fired fifty rounds today through one of these, and it was a wonderful experience ! More of a kick than I expected though given the fact it's a 9mm and the fact it's big and heavy. First real handgun I have ever fired. I LOVE Beretta pistols.

[@hickok45]

You are exactly right. I want to like it, and I do, but there are enough negatives that it could never ever be a favorite shooter.

[@LarryRickenbacker]

10k+ failure free rounds through my 92fs. What's not to like about the ultra-reliable 92FS? Since today's 9mm+p ammo has improved since the late '80s, this is one fantastic pistol.

[@tessalyyvuo1667]

Still watching this ten years later. Hickok45 will always be my idol as far as it comes to firearms.

[@hickok45]

Back in the '80s, as I recall, the Taurus had a good reputation. I don't know if that has changed or not. I had good luck with my first Beretta, too. I don't recall any malfunctions; however, I just had it two or three years, and I wasn't carrying it in Iraq or anything. Just Tennessee!

[@jrfuentes2008]

I have been learning from John since I discovered his videos on YT. The best teacher I have found so far. Almost decided on a Glock 19, because of his advise. Keep it up, John!

[@hickok45]

The military designates it the "M9," I think. For commercial sales, it's the Model 92FS.

[@thebullmoose8316]

While the Glock is a Honda, the Beretta is a Ferrari.

[@NikkyElso]

Unlike the Ferrari though, the beretta is comparable in price. So it's more like a Fiat

[@gunnergrunt69]

Amen to that my brother. I own both a 92 and a Glock 17. The Beretta is for home defense and target shooting. The Glock is for propping doors open and holding down papers.

I've owned a beretta 92fs now for over 25 years. I have owned other semis but, I wouldn't trust my wifes life,( not worried about mine) with any other gun. I have not had one missfire or failure to feed out of my beretta. Of course I removed all of the polymer parts out of my recent one. Hard to believe that Italian made beretta puts plastic( before you say anything, I know its not really plastic) in this gun. If I want a polymer gun, I would buy a glock. As far as it being a big gun for a 9mm, less recoil.

[@scottdavis9302]

Stryker it is the best 9 mm made! The grip is fantastic, it is accurate, never malfunctions, great weight, it looks amazing, barrel length for velocity! Do I need to ramble on?

[@cmj20002]

I agree, they are great. I have a 92 copy in .40 S&W and it has been super reliable, accurate as well. They are a bit heavy, but well made. If I were to buy a 9mm again the 92fs would be my choice.

[@r8rcarlos580]

Stryker what polymer parts did you replace?

[@cougs92fs]

The 92fs is an amazing piece of firearm. I love it more than the Glock. It's the weight that feels great.

[@hickok45]

I like the feel of them. Had one back in about '88. Pretty heavy, as I recall for a 9mm, but I think there are probably more models and configurations nowadays.

[@davsny5]

Loved my 92FS, after a few years and about over 3,000 round only had two failure to feeds. One stove pipe and one hang up, both due to cheap ammo not the Beretta. Why did Martin Riggs and John McClane have them, because they are awesome.

[@ianfinrir8724]

It's also featured in the Resident Evil series as the Samurai Egde.

[@hickok45]

I agree; it would double as a great club!

[@NortheastSurvival911]

I have a gerson clone of what I believe is a Beretta 92x and I bought a Beretta 92fs today. There's a handful of firearms that I've wanted throughout my life. Beginning with the 1911. The m1 garand. A solid decent AR-15. Ended up with a Sig... A couple of very specific Mossberg 500 tactical 12 gauge shotguns.. a Barrett 50 with the 10 round detachable box magazine and a Beretta 92fs. I have all of them except the bear at 50. Yeah I don't really want to drop $15,000 on one gun. Anyway.. you can't go wrong with a beretta. And the 92fs truly is a classic it's been tried tested and proven to be incredibly accurate perhaps the most reliable all metal 9 mm pistol ever made.. damn nearly indestructible.. and fun to shoot. I didn't get out to shoot it today but tomorrow morning after coffee.. I'll be heading up into the woods. Here in central New Hampshire we don't really have indoor ranges. It's sand pits and Fields and certain areas out in the woods. All the mountains around here. I do look forward to shooting it though. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@hoodninja265]

other than the fact that I love my 92fs because I feel it's one of Italy's great contributions to this country, I, like you Sir Hickok, felt kind of "unpatriotic" not having one, (mainly because I was a soldier at one time) So I got one!

[@67elco]

I was amazed at how hard it was for me to hit targets even at relatively close range! I'm even more impressed with your videos now! A guy from the range showed me how to stand and it was a little uncomfortable but I'm planning on getting back soon.. Thanks again for the great videos.

I also own the 92FS and it is extremely reliable. I will likely keep it forever. It is heavy and not a practical concealed carry. It has lost it's "sexiness" since Martin Riggs duel wielded in Lethal Weapon back in the 80's, but if I'm ever fighting for my life I would be comforted with the Beretta 92FS in my hands.

[@riflemanm16a2]

I thought the trigger was really weird feeling at first, but, once you get used to it, it feels very smooth. The trigger face is a little bit wide and flat feeling on the other hand.

The weight helps with follow up shots and diminishes recoil, but what we see here is primarily hikock45's masterful handling of a gun.

[@panamabrad666]

I did the same thing.I had one with wood handles, i think a 92f in 1989 after i got out of the army .Ended up trading away.I was in panama when we changed from the 45 to the baretta 9mm. The 45's were so worn out they would rattle around alot.Anyway,i feel the same way it has alot of patriotic history and have considered getting one again. i believe if i see a good deal on one i will have to add to my collection in the future.great review as always.keep up the good work. Thanks

[@Luccimatic]

I've owned 2 cheapy 1911s, 3 smith wheel guns, a glock in .40, a kahr 9mm, and a Springfield xdm in .40... shot my friends m9 and honestly it feels better to me than all the rest. I have wide hands and long skinny fingers. But that short reset trigger that sits way back in the trigger guard feels just right to me. Makes for faster shooting. I picked it up, took aim and emptied the mag at the target as fast as I could shoot without the going too crazy. It felt so we'll balanced with the heavy handle, even as the mag ran empty. The light weight, open slide and short action with the 115 grain 9mms kept that recoil way down as compared to the 1911s and polymers I've fired before this. It kept a nice tight group. I want one now. I'd choose the 92 over the m9 as it has a more refined finish and feel to it. Just my analysis on it. Thanks for the great vids hickok!

[@maddogpicker]

Thanks Hickok45. I know how you love the glocks, and you're keeping an open mind. I too love the way the 92 feels and the single/double doesn't bother me.

Long time lover of your videos. I am in the military, and I am a huge fan of the M9. It is not the easiest firearm to use, but with practice it is a fantastic firearm. The trigger takes time to get use to, and the safety is an issue with some shooters. But, the grip and aiming of the firearm are fantastic. I feel confident in using the M9 in any situation. It is reliable, in real world situations, I wouldn't want much else.

I like the fact that the Beretta is a full sized pistol

[@hickok45]

@renjixsan , I don't time such things. The gun does not recoil that much; it's a 9mm and it's a heavy gun. If you've seen my Night Shoot video, you can see that I'm able to control the light and dark. It's the same with gravity; I control gravity when I shoot, so the thing will shoot quite a long distance before gravity affects the bullet. :-) I've not played with it at really long range, but it should be fine out to 100 - 150 yards. I'll try it at 230 yards at some point.

[@meandale]

I agree with hickok... we got those on base late 80's & I had the opportunity to be one of the first to get to qualify with it. I always enjoyed shooting the thing,,,, much more so than the dang .38's!!! It felt good in the hand & I always felt it was a good shooting weapon. I understand some of earlier models had problems but those were quickly worked out.
