I own several beretta firearms and i love shooting everyone of them. I dont own a 92 but i do own a 96 brigadier. shoots like a dream and packs a little more punch than the 9mm.
I can hit shotgun shells at 15 yds with my Beretta FS 9mm. Unbelievable accurracy.I had my wife with me and shot 3 shotgun shells with 3 shots from my Beretta. This gun is super accurate....and reliable. Never a jam or stovepipe..ever. I am a good shot....but could not do this with my S&W 45 M&P (which I still like...just not as accurate), a Ruger P345, or a Springfield XD 40. I've shot Glocks as well...just as .reliable but not as accurate.
I made the mistake of buying reloaded ammo. And several of the cases had cracks in them after being shot. It scared me, and that is the last time I will ever buy reloaded. Factory ammo from now on.
This just shows the value of a metal framed gun. A polymer gun would have cracked and his hand could have been seriously hurt. This is a testament to the 92FS for the fact the his gun didn't kaboom.
This gun didn't blow up. Despite all of the disparagement the Beretta is a quality piece. Shooting "NATO" rounds could break any gun (you're better off with commercial "SAAMI" made-in-America ammunition). Of course as you were shooting reloads you assume the risk.
Why don't you just buy an autopistol in .22 long rifle if you're gonna shoot a lot. The ammo will be 10 times cheaper in the long run than your 9mm, .40, and .45 ammo.
Wow, me and my friend JUST left the shooting range a few hours ago. And I bought a hundred rounds of 9mm reloaded ammo at a gun show. And they were shooting so inconsistent. Sometimes it would shoot soft, and another time it would shoot hard. I was afraid I was going to get a KB! Thats the last reloaded ammo I will ever try. Factory ammo from now on.
yes i heard about the problems the us army had with the m9 (beretta 92 variant) 20 years ago. it should be resolved by now. the pistol is reliable. if u use the recommended ammo u wont have problems.
Try having a Glock blow up, 45 cal it made my hands sore for a week and was lucky I didn't lose my fingers. The gun was in pieces we could not even find them all. That was vid was nothing.
I have been using my own handloads for years. I never go over published max loads and my ammo works great. The problem is when hand loaders try to push the limits and risk damage to other peoples guns... It just isn't worth the extra feet per second to risk doing damage to a gun.
I assume there was no injury, right? Things like that happen and that's why you always wear eye protection when you shoot cheap ammo. I always get the cheapest crap, since this gun will shoot them all, and just clean it after every use. Of course when not at the range I keep it loaded with some nice premium bear claw ammo. Cause you don't want this to happen to you when someone is gunning for you.
nothing wrong with reloaded ammo, as long as you are the one loading it and you have read atleast 1 reloading manual. I wouldnt ever suggest buying reloaded ammo, even if it were your buddys lol.
I've seen cracked slides and lowers, but not often. It's just a matter of time until a part cracks. extra power ammunition will speed up the process. The Beretta 92 has proven to be a good gun, but it has also proven to have many design flaws. As for +P+ it existed if it doesn't still exist in a retail box labeled +P+ I've only seen it in Black Talon and that stuff was law enforcement only anyway. If you load your own it can have as pluses as you want, it's your product.
I am tired of retards knocking the beretta 92. Yes slides did crack on a few due to "low metal toughness." This happened 20 years ago with foreign made steel. The beretta is the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth. As for the guy in the vid stick with Federal and Winchester!
@E7TE yeah people make WAY to big a deal about a few pistols cracking during early tests. Thats why they are tested people, to work out the bugs. My 92fs has functioned flawlessly for years and with every kind of ammo. Great gun in my opinion
@E7TE The cracked slides were not due to weak metal. They originally happened to Navy SEALs who were mixing their pistol ammo with submachinegun ammo rated at extremely high pressures. Higher than most +p+ rated rounds. They then only failed after several thousand rounds had been put through the pistols.
Berettas are terrible. They are way to bulky and heavy; especially for the 9mm cartridge. As far as it being the most proven semi-auto in the world; you are wrong.
Glock will always be superior to the Beretta. I just think the Beretta's are too damm big. The only reason the military adopted the Beretta 9mm, was so they could hold more ammo in the pistols vs. the previous sidearm, the 1911 auto.
If they wanted to go with a 9mm gun, the military should of adopted the Glocks.
no gun is the most proven gun on the world dumbass... it's just your a little man thinking he has the biggest gun, don't forget the lowest bid got the contract.. ha ha, moron.
@E7TE Beretta's are crap. Even the military says they only have a service life of 20,000-30,000 rounds. Glocks are just getting warmed up at 100,000 rounds.
@E7TE It is not the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth. The most prooven is the 1911. About to be 100 years old, fought in 4 bloody wars, and its still chosen by the majority of competition shooters and holds more than its fair share in the civilian market.
@E7TE oh... i was unaware the 92 had been in service for 74 years... like another more proven and in pretty much every way superior firearm that was only replaced because berretta was the lowest bidder.
@preluderacer88 Easy there. There were politics involved the adoption of the Beretta, and it went wrong at first. It's been something like 30-ish years since the US started with it, and it's come a long way. I'll still take other pistols first, but there's no need to hate.
...I prefer the 1911, personally, which is why I own one instead of a 92 (though I intend to get one someday). But can we all agree that, for the private citizen, the 92 is better than no gun at all?
@preluderacer88 the US military only replaced the m1911 to conform to NATO regulations for standardized ammunition i.e. the mp5 and m9 are chambered for the 9x19mm parabellum whereas the m1911 was the only gun in the US arsenal though it was still in use for special forces personnel.
Actually the 92 design is a continuation of the 1934, which as the name implies was produced since 1934. but really the army wanted 9mm, for a 9 the beretta is a great.
@fnfal308Rhino Are you in the military? You most likely have a 92FS if you aren't. My father has a 92FS and its a nice shooting gun, I just prefer my XD40 over it.
@E7TE the slide failures had nothing to do with the actual slide itself. It was fine. The failures were the result of the ammunition being supplied by the U.S. Army during testing exceeding the recommended pressures specified by NATO. Even with the overpressured ammo the slides only failed on pistols which had very high round counts.
@E7TE "the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth"? I'm assuming you've forgotten about the Colt 1911 which is still in service, and has helped win numerous medals of honor, and has seen every American theater and battle since its creation. The Beretta 92 is more dependable than most give it credit for, but remains a pretty average pistol as far as effectiveness and reliability.
@E7TE Actually Id say the glock is the most proven handgun.Ive seen reliability tests of the 92 and the glock,the glock pretty much ALWAYS shoots no matter what,but I have seen the 92 jam much more than the glock has.
@E7TE It is far from the most proven,. but it is proven none the less. the 1911 is the most proven. its the longest lasting design for any firearm. The 1911 has been around for 100 years, and companies are still using its design.and the m9 was made 30 years ago. but it is proven, im not knocking on it. just correcting that little statement is all. not trying to troll or anything.
@E7TE There are much more proven pistols than the beretta m9 or 92. The triggers suck and they can jam when exposed to mud. Also, the locking block went out on my service pistol twice. However, they are good with a suppressor due to the barrel not being a browning derived tilt design. Not a big real, but you don't need an lcd to run a can one one. Excellent craftsmanship though, almost a work of art. Also had a trigger reset spring break on one of mine, I had to manually reset after each shot
@E7TE I don't know if I'd call it the "most proven" on earth, but I probably just do the math differently. I'll agree that the 92 is targeted with a lot of trash talk, but I find that just about every maligned, unloved gun out there is about ten million times better than most people think. Same goes for manufacturers.
Seems to me it's usually a case of one bad apple making people abandon the whole tree...
@E7TE Same here! I'm also tired of all idiots picking on Beretta. Many people in the military says that it jams all the time, but that's not the Berettas fault. It's the magazines. U.S military uses checkmate mags instead of Beretta original or Mec-Gar factorymagazines. Checkmate mags can cause feeding problems and they are also sensitive to sad and dirt, while Beretta or Mec-Gar mags are very high quality magazines which functions under all conditions. Berettas and Glocks are two of the best.
@E7TE Buzz wrong... That would be the 1911... Want to talk reliability with the beretta? It is not the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth stop making broad sweeping comments. Glock's, and 1911's beat a beretta hands down any day.
@E7TE I dont like em because... A. its 9mm... Ive witnessed a buddy of mine shooting an insurgent 6 times with one and didnt put him down. and B. its a 9mm... etc... not a fan of 9mm, it is fun just to go out and plink but to put my life on it... well... its a tough decision. I prefere .40 S&W. My time with the Baretta was ok, I never needed to fall back on it, but the pistol worked just fine for me.
@E7TE the beretta 92 is good but its not the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth....................i think that goes to Glock and the 1911
@E7TE Not that the Beretta is a bad gun, buy if you call it the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth, you've obviously never heard of the 1911.
@E7TE I beg to differ. The slides cracked on 92's because of improper heat treating. And they still turn up from time to time. I currently have two on the bench that came in for repair, both have cracked slides and one with a crack in the frame. The Colt 1911 has been around longer and with far fewer problems.Beretta makes a good gun, but the 92 has had an inordinate number of problems. Use of a recoil buffer will help but it is not a cure if you get a bad one.
@carboss - most companies that reload target fodder will buy you a new gun. i know someone who blew up a brand new FN57 and they bought him a new gun. You are better off loading your own. that way you are sure the process was safe and every peice of brass and OAL is thoroughly inspected. you can hand load on a budget. look at the Lee Loader at cabellas or midway usa
@carboss man ive had that happen lots, its no big deal, its just old shitty brass, get some new brass and it will never happen, and if your using handloades for hunting or self defence i wouldnt use brass thats been fired more than 3 times.
@carboss My Father and I go shooting all the time and we are trying to figure out what machine for reloading we should get. You make the Dillon 550 sound pretty good. What was the price on it?
@SDR978 You've probably heard it a million times, but the single stage Lee press if all you need to get started. That, an RCBS Case Prep machine, and tumbler and you're golden.
makes me nervous. ive never shot reloads and my indoor portion of my range only allows lead ammo. My local gun shop only had reloaded lead rounds. hope this doesnt happen to me!
My sr9c blew up on me 4 days ago. Was loading 4.8 grains of powder with 124 grain 9m bullets. Turns out max load for that is 4.4. I think even though I was aiming for 4.8 grains the 1 that blew was over. Lesson learned. Be far more careful. I feel lucky to not haven been seriously hurt. My gun is in pieces being sent back to ruger. My hands still hurt. It felt like an awful electrric shock. Hope its not a total loss and that ruger cuts me a break on repair. Not expecting it though.
Looked to me like a squib. Looks like the first round did not have enough powder charge to leave the barrel and then he fired the next round causing the pressure that blew it up. I have been wrong before. Though I have seen a guy blow up a S&W revolver with a bad reload that caused a squib and he tried to fire another round and blew the barrel off of the forcing cone.
92FS are garbage, poor design and only got the US contract through bribery. US Military requires slide change at 1500rds, frame change at 3500 rds, whereas the 1911's have tens of thousands of rounds through them with no issues.
Glock, Hk, Ruger, Browning High Powers are all vastly superior guns, which is why all of the special forces are using them. Take a look at what all the SF operators are using and you won't find a single M-9. They are universally hated by everyone.
The M9/M9-A1 series frames are built to last 35,000 rounds and this is with hot NATO 124gr ball ammo. M9/M9-A1 are also chromed for double-life expectancy of the rifling. I own a Colt 1911-A1 by the way but you are an idiot.
@Spacestuff4me ...the U.S. Army conducted durability testing of M9 pistols... These tests revealed an average life of the M9 frame at around 35,000 rounds, of the M9 locking block at around 22,000 rounds, and of the M9 slide at around 75,000 rounds, well in excess of the contractually-required service life of 5,000 rounds for the pistol. Government-witnessed tests of the M9 pistol at the Beretta U.S.A. facility resulted in average reliability of the pistol at one malfunction every 17,500 rounds.
so can i infer from this video that i wont necessarily be a pussy if i never learn to reload my own ammo, just buy new factory rounds, and discard the spent casings however i please...?
Nothing wrong with reloaded ammo, provided the loader properly inspected the brass prior to reloading. In this case (back end of case coming off), it sounds like the brass was reused a few too many times. If you want to save coin using reloads, my advice is to get started on reloading yourself - it's pretty easy & fun as well. This way you know just how many times your brass has been used, etc. But, I would advise against buying "once fired" brass at a gun show, as you don't really know...
Ick. e.e At least it wasn't anything too critical like that one video of a PMC's AK blowing up on him; the bolt came off, and could have poked his eye out. D:
I bet the bullet explosion gummed up the Beretta in this vid, though. Got some cleaning to do now. ._.
I love these videos! That pistol did not "blow up" looked like faulty ammo caused a jam and I see no damage to the slide..I bet you cleared the malfuntion and kept on shooting right??
Some of the first M9 pistols supplied by Beretta to the U.S. military had the same problem. Get a 1911. Next time you might end up with a slide sticking out of your head.
Well, if memory serves me, the 92FS was designed to be able to tolerate higher charges.
The 92FS was made to replace the 92F, which did have problems with the slide breaking off the frame towards the shooter in the midst of the slide cycle when using overcharged ammo.
The SEALS were firing thousands of rounds in training, and what were microscopic cracks became spectacular failures -- some slides shot back into the shooter's faces!
Beretta made a change to the weapon, the US Army changed the propellant mix for the 9mm round causing the fuss (M882), and no more problems were reported. Also, the M9's final design was applied to the civilian market so as to boost production efficiency. Pretty much the same gun.
Do what it is manufactured for then no probs

What i like about the beretta:
1. 5 inch barrel. More velocity and longer sight radius. Very accurate
2. Steel frame, soft recoil, quite durable.
3. It looks great.
What i dislike about the beretta
1. Thick grip. Steel frame + thick grips makes it less comfortable.
2. LONG trigger pull of 1.32 inches. Harder to reach, Rapid fire requires more training.
3. VERY large for a 9mm. This gun is massive.
4. The safety is very obnoxious. It was not designed with stress in mind.

@preluderacer88 Easy there. There were politics involved the adoption of the Beretta, and it went wrong at first. It's been something like 30-ish years since the US started with it, and it's come a long way. I'll still take other pistols first, but there's no need to hate.
...I prefer the 1911, personally, which is why I own one instead of a 92 (though I intend to get one someday). But can we all agree that, for the private citizen, the 92 is better than no gun at all?

@preluderacer88 the US military only replaced the m1911 to conform to NATO regulations for standardized ammunition i.e. the mp5 and m9 are chambered for the 9x19mm parabellum whereas the m1911 was the only gun in the US arsenal though it was still in use for special forces personnel.

Actually the 92 design is a continuation of the 1934, which as the name implies was produced since 1934. but really the army wanted 9mm, for a 9 the beretta is a great.

@E7TE the slide failures had nothing to do with the actual slide itself. It was fine. The failures were the result of the ammunition being supplied by the U.S. Army during testing exceeding the recommended pressures specified by NATO. Even with the overpressured ammo the slides only failed on pistols which had very high round counts.

@E7TE "the most proven semi auto on the face of the earth"? I'm assuming you've forgotten about the Colt 1911 which is still in service, and has helped win numerous medals of honor, and has seen every American theater and battle since its creation. The Beretta 92 is more dependable than most give it credit for, but remains a pretty average pistol as far as effectiveness and reliability.

@E7TE Actually Id say the glock is the most proven handgun.Ive seen reliability tests of the 92 and the glock,the glock pretty much ALWAYS shoots no matter what,but I have seen the 92 jam much more than the glock has.

@E7TE It is far from the most proven,. but it is proven none the less. the 1911 is the most proven. its the longest lasting design for any firearm. The 1911 has been around for 100 years, and companies are still using its design.and the m9 was made 30 years ago. but it is proven, im not knocking on it. just correcting that little statement is all. not trying to troll or anything.

@E7TE There are much more proven pistols than the beretta m9 or 92. The triggers suck and they can jam when exposed to mud. Also, the locking block went out on my service pistol twice. However, they are good with a suppressor due to the barrel not being a browning derived tilt design. Not a big real, but you don't need an lcd to run a can one one. Excellent craftsmanship though, almost a work of art. Also had a trigger reset spring break on one of mine, I had to manually reset after each shot

@E7TE I don't know if I'd call it the "most proven" on earth, but I probably just do the math differently. I'll agree that the 92 is targeted with a lot of trash talk, but I find that just about every maligned, unloved gun out there is about ten million times better than most people think. Same goes for manufacturers.
Seems to me it's usually a case of one bad apple making people abandon the whole tree...
ThunderousWrath 7 months ago
@E7TE Same here! I'm also tired of all idiots picking on Beretta. Many people in the military says that it jams all the time, but that's not the Berettas fault. It's the magazines. U.S military uses checkmate mags instead of Beretta original or Mec-Gar factorymagazines. Checkmate mags can cause feeding problems and they are also sensitive to sad and dirt, while Beretta or Mec-Gar mags are very high quality magazines which functions under all conditions. Berettas and Glocks are two of the best.

@E7TE I beg to differ. The slides cracked on 92's because of improper heat treating. And they still turn up from time to time. I currently have two on the bench that came in for repair, both have cracked slides and one with a crack in the frame. The Colt 1911 has been around longer and with far fewer problems.Beretta makes a good gun, but the 92 has had an inordinate number of problems. Use of a recoil buffer will help but it is not a cure if you get a bad one.

@carboss - most companies that reload target fodder will buy you a new gun. i know someone who blew up a brand new FN57 and they bought him a new gun. You are better off loading your own. that way you are sure the process was safe and every peice of brass and OAL is thoroughly inspected. you can hand load on a budget. look at the Lee Loader at cabellas or midway usa

My sr9c blew up on me 4 days ago. Was loading 4.8 grains of powder with 124 grain 9m bullets. Turns out max load for that is 4.4. I think even though I was aiming for 4.8 grains the 1 that blew was over. Lesson learned. Be far more careful. I feel lucky to not haven been seriously hurt. My gun is in pieces being sent back to ruger. My hands still hurt. It felt like an awful electrric shock. Hope its not a total loss and that ruger cuts me a break on repair. Not expecting it though.

Looked to me like a squib. Looks like the first round did not have enough powder charge to leave the barrel and then he fired the next round causing the pressure that blew it up. I have been wrong before. Though I have seen a guy blow up a S&W revolver with a bad reload that caused a squib and he tried to fire another round and blew the barrel off of the forcing cone.

The annotation about "don't buy reloaded ammo" is incorrect. There's nothing wrong with properly reloaded ammunition.
I've reloaded tens of thousands of rounds without that ever happening.
Fabiocrow777 2 years ago
92FS are garbage, poor design and only got the US contract through bribery. US Military requires slide change at 1500rds, frame change at 3500 rds, whereas the 1911's have tens of thousands of rounds through them with no issues.
Glock, Hk, Ruger, Browning High Powers are all vastly superior guns, which is why all of the special forces are using them. Take a look at what all the SF operators are using and you won't find a single M-9. They are universally hated by everyone.

The M9/M9-A1 series frames are built to last 35,000 rounds and this is with hot NATO 124gr ball ammo. M9/M9-A1 are also chromed for double-life expectancy of the rifling. I own a Colt 1911-A1 by the way but you are an idiot.
TargetGuy2245 2 years ago
@Spacestuff4me ...the U.S. Army conducted durability testing of M9 pistols... These tests revealed an average life of the M9 frame at around 35,000 rounds, of the M9 locking block at around 22,000 rounds, and of the M9 slide at around 75,000 rounds, well in excess of the contractually-required service life of 5,000 rounds for the pistol. Government-witnessed tests of the M9 pistol at the Beretta U.S.A. facility resulted in average reliability of the pistol at one malfunction every 17,500 rounds.

De908 2 years ago
Nothing wrong with reloaded ammo, provided the loader properly inspected the brass prior to reloading. In this case (back end of case coming off), it sounds like the brass was reused a few too many times. If you want to save coin using reloads, my advice is to get started on reloading yourself - it's pretty easy & fun as well. This way you know just how many times your brass has been used, etc. But, I would advise against buying "once fired" brass at a gun show, as you don't really know...

sj507 2 years ago 5
Well, if memory serves me, the 92FS was designed to be able to tolerate higher charges.
The 92FS was made to replace the 92F, which did have problems with the slide breaking off the frame towards the shooter in the midst of the slide cycle when using overcharged ammo.
Watcher3223 2 years ago
"Not a SEAL, till you taste Italian steel."
The SEALS were firing thousands of rounds in training, and what were microscopic cracks became spectacular failures -- some slides shot back into the shooter's faces!
Beretta made a change to the weapon, the US Army changed the propellant mix for the 9mm round causing the fuss (M882), and no more problems were reported. Also, the M9's final design was applied to the civilian market so as to boost production efficiency. Pretty much the same gun.
