New Beretta 92GTS Gun Review : The Gran Turismo

[@DARTHDANSAN]

Finally a gun that’s not a micro compact . It’s great to have so many CCW choices but nothing beats the shoot ability of combat pistol

[@keananruiters9373]

Nah I'm a full size pistol kinda guy, I can't stand compact or micro compact guns. I rotate my EDC between my Glock 17 Gen4 and my Beretta M9A3 G model.

@@ShaulDawg”The original Beretta Model 92 also featured a 1911-style frame-mounted safety catch, which was soon discarded for a P38-like slide-mounted decocker/safety lever.”

[@aerodicus]

“In 1974, a large contract for the Beretta 92 was issued by the Brazilian army, for which Beretta set up a factory in São Paulo, Brazil. This factory was later sold to the Brazilian gunmaker Taurus (Forjas Taurus S/A) in 1980, after the contract had expired. Shortly thereafter, Taurus closed down the factory and transferred the original Beretta machinery to its factory in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, using it to make its own pistol, which was a copy of the original Beretta 92 design, no longer being produced in Brazil. They did this without the need for a license and they also did not have to pay royalties, as the designs and patents had since expired.[1]”

[@gutblaster187]

You know it's quality. ALL of my 3 Beretta's....the 92FS, 92 Centurion, and my Vertec sound EXACTLY the same when you rack the slide. In my opinion, the Beretta 92's are in the top 5 handguns ever made.

[@christianorr1059]

My sentimental fave!

[@seanmcmanus9656]

I hate to admit it, and honestly it really doesn't mean much as it feels like beretta has tighter tolerances... but my girsan clone has a much much smoother slide, like 2011 air rack out of the box. All they changed are the locking lugs and block, and of course the slide cuts for them. m9a4 and original 92fs slides... well slide right onto the girsan frame contrary to pop belief, just swap barrel and lugs, not dangerous to shoot it that way, but the inverse is not possible I don't think. I personally prefer the Beretta for materialism, reliability, and the modern frames. mm. the squalo? goddamn it's sexy

[@cliffthompson4149]

I bought my very first handgun back in 1986 And it was a Beretta double action lonely. My dad was a cop, and he recommended that I get that for safety since I was a novice. Believe it or not it was one of my favorite guns.

[@carolannesparkman6938]

You know, several years ago, I watched your video on the 92s. I bought one for$275. In excellent condition! I liked it so much I bought 2 more for the same price! I’ve been waiting for a better one to come out that “I can’t live without”! I think this one just might be it! Thank sootch!!!❤️😊

Let us not forget about the MP5 as well. Both franchise movies (Lethal Weapon & Die Hard) were the catalyst to the rising popularity of the Beretta 92 and H&K MP5. I think Don Johnson also deserves some credit for pop culture's representation of the 1911. Especially during the _Nash Bridges_ era. Mr. Johnson also brought the 10mm to the masses with the Bren Ten back in the _Miami Vice_ days. Fast forward to today's arsenal of _The Expendables_ and *now* we are talking! Stay classy my friends.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Wish it had the barrel stick out because that's what made the 92 so iconic looking.

[@jodylivengood4061]

A lot of people don't like that. I have a M9A1 and bought a threaded barrel. Few years later I got my daughter a 92X. That one has the flush fit barrel. My daughter didn't want my spare longer barrel. Everyone that sees that 92X always points out that flush fit barrel as a big improvement. I'm with you though. I really like the protrusion and it looks good with the open slide. There is a movie called The Peacemaker. A guy presses that barrel tip into a hole of a bullet resistant windshield being degraded by AK fire and smokes a guy. I thought it was kind of cool to put it in a movie. Something different than that stupid take apart thing while still in the shooters hand. Personally I'd be glad they didn't just take it from me if they're that fast.

[@8RedBear5]

The first pistol my dad put in my hands to train was a used Taurus 92, so I've always had a fondness for the 92s be they Beretta or Taurus. I do think the Safety/Decocker on Taurus is better designed. Push up for a safe and push all the way down to decock the pistol. However, seeing more Beretta's come out with frame mounted controls and not having them stuck up on the slide is making me consider adding one to the collection.

Thank you sootch! Just picked one up from the place you mentioned. Came with a 20rd mag.

[@enricomandragona163]

I have an Old M-9 and a few other Beretta's which would make it confusing for me to get used to the frame safety. The new grip panels are like sandpaper.... first thing I would change is the grips. You didn't mention if the gun comes with the hump grips Sootch?

someone was not thinking at beretta if you want to spend for this 92 a smaller decock lever would have been more practical I own 2 92s and 2 96s I bought used and I own 2 PT92 the compactness of their levers is why the have a following but its what you like and prefer enjoy

Thay looks pretty badass. I have a m9a1 with the g conversion on it. I dont recommend the FS unless youre going to carry it on safe or its not going to be used for anything serious. I bet beretta sells bunch of these. Seems like the 92 everyone has been asking for. Unless you jist cant handle the open top slide there isnt any complaint beretta hasnt addressed lately. Thin grips,vertec cut, pic rail, and now frame levers. Im good with te original 92 types but id like to see more people enjoy the beretta 92 gun. For anyone wanting to suppress a 9mm pistol the beretta 92 is the way to go.

[@bobbressi5414]

I have owned several 92 variants. Recently I bought a 92 A4. It maintains the decocker on the slide but is is a G variant so it is decock only. I prefer the lever on the slide as it is not something I will inadvertantly swipe with my thumb. That is not a poblem I have had with many pistols but I tend to prefer systems I am used to. On the 92 what I am used to is a slide mounted lever.

[@makotoyuki2199]

My unpopular opinion on the 92 is that the old-style (M9A1 profile) frame had a better grip with it having its own grip profile and not replicating the 1911. I feel like the M9A1 profile fills my hand up a lot better, and it feels like an extension of my arm more so than anything else. Although, thankfully the Vertec frame guns come with a grip-insert module that brings it back to that M9A1 profile I love, so good on Beretta.

[@jodylivengood4061]

I also prefer the filled out grip. I got a M9A1 and that grip is big improvement over the original 92FS. I got thin G10 grips, Wilson short reach trigger. That radiused tang along with those two have made rhe guns lot more ahootable than my earlier 92"s. I dealt with it for years because I liked the 92 so much. But I got bitch hands with short fingers. That M9A1 Checkering is a lot nicer than the vertical grooving. Beretta has pretty much fixed every complaint people had of the design. So pretty much if you can't handle the open top slide would be the only reason to not get one.
