It went to the range on a regular basis, accompanied me on hunting trips where it was subjected to all kinds of nasty environmental conditions, and I fed it my reloads on a regular basis. Over time, I became convinced that much of the problems associated with these Beretta pistols were due to abuse or lack of maintenance. I had also heard the stories about the shortcomings of these semi-automatic pistols. I got caught up in the whole action-movie genre like many other shooters. I purchased my first Beretta 92FS in the mid-1990s. It seemed like everyone wanted to get their hands on the gun that Keanu Reaves used so spectacularly in The Matrix. That made the Beretta easy to spot on the screen. Perhaps one thing that has made the Beretta 92FS such an iconic piece of design is the look of the gun.ĭuring the heyday of the action-adventure movies in which the Beretta 92fs figured so prominently, this Beretta pistol didn’t look like any other gun. Parts such as the recoil spring guide rod, magazine floor plates, magazine follower, and the magazine release button feature polymer or polymer-coated metal parts. The use of polymer also helped Beretta keep the cost of producing the 92fS under control. Some later variants of the Beretta 92FS used some polymer parts to reduce the overall weight of the pistol. This change satisfied the requirements of many European police forces, which were rapidly adopting the 92FS as their duty hand guns. One of the major additions was made in 1978 with the addition of an external safety and decocking lever mounted on the slide. The eventual result was the 92FS, including the 92FS Centurion, which featured a shorter barrel and slide. Over the years, Beretta evolved the 92 line of pistols as improvements and upgrades were made.
