1988 Beretta Model 92F

[1srelluc]

I picked up a Italian made Beretta 92F today, the date code puts it as being made in 1988......Hard to believe it's 38 years old.

It came with a US M12 holster and GI mag pouch/extra PB made mag.

It's very lightly used. Not bad at $350.00 for a Italian made example though I might replace the grips as they show some wear.

That's a great gun. You will love it. I really like the safety design.

I had the 92S stainless model with integrated laser sight and 15 round magazine.

check the frame around the firing pin/bolt area to make sure there are no cracks. A D spring will reduce the trigger to 8lb/4lb.
Before the Daughter appropriated it for her personal use, mine had adjustable target sights, lightened trigger and Hogue grips. That thing was accurate.

I've had various 92-series pistols in the past but I wanted a Italian made one.

This one is just like the rest....Super smooth.

Are there any differences?

Not really but they tend to bring more than US made examples of the same type.

I've had both the Italian Pietro Berettas and the American ones. Both are great.

Here was my Italian one. It was a .45ca.

Fit and finish of the Italian made pistols is higher. Those made for the European market are higher still.
