ive owned both and neither are accurate shooting pistols,,,youll shoot 2-3 shots good,then one off the paper!!,,,its not the shooter either,its the gun,,,i know professionals that will tell you the same damn thing!!..i dont know why it is,thats just how they shoot,,i think its the long trigger pull myself,a lot to go wrong in that distance,,,i can shoot circles around my berettas with a glock or 1911,,,and for me again,its all in the trigger
You forgot to mention that the grip covers are fixed in place with slot-drive screws on the 92FS and with some kind of rivets with circular heads(?) on the M9.
possibly a dumb question but i was given a BlackHawk Tactical SERPA Holster from a marine mp. will the holster only fit the m9 or the m9 and 92. thanks
My understanding is also that one version has a steel guide rod and one has a polymer guide rod. That could be wrong and maybe was already discussed in the comments. Can you verify this?
the only thing in the video you forgot to say is the m9 has a 15 round magazine.the 92fs has a 10 round mag.well actually its not always.the first models of the m92f was just a beretta 92 pistol with a 15 round magazine.now it usually has a 10 round mag.unless you buy your own 15 round mag
@5DayExpress That's an ignorant statement. Saying a 92FS is better than an M9 is purely opinion. I have an M9 and I like it better than the 92FS because my hands fit the grip better than on the 92FS. I wouldn't say the M9 is better, but I would say it's better for ME.
This is by far, my favorite handgun in the world. I always wanted a custom made beretta with custom slide,frame,grip,hammer. And most of all, jet black. with a silver chamber.
Been in the market for a 92 style pistol. Very informative. Personally, I don't know why there is any difference between the two. Civilians will feel like they are buying a lesser, inferior product when gun manufacturers do things like this. I will probably be buyiung the M9 from what I've seen. Thanks.
In order for the USA to make this pistol in the USA and have the contract to its design we had to call it the "M9". Beretta is Italian, and is physically no different compared to the M9 internally other than some outer features, as described in video. Great video.
the only differences are the slide and frame markings, ...the different dust cover and gripform are not related to the military or civilian model but only to the production year of the 92FS.
Cause I heard that the glock is being made in America now and to have all of the cops using it shouldn't it be American
If you know of cops switching to another pistol please list it and tell me what departure cuz I might be a policemen and I wanna know what I will carry
@xlxgambitxsx No, there are American AND Italian 92FS's. The American ones say BERETTA U.S.A. CORP. ACKK. MD-MADE IN U.S.A. on the left side of the slide and the Italian ones say PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T.-MADE IN ITALY.
@xlxgambitxsx Well, actually M9 is not the real (original) name of this pistol. It is just a name given by US Army for specification purpose. Original names of these two guns are Beretta 92F and Beretta 92FS. Both are of Italian origin. At first "american" M9 was 92F, but now they switched to 92FS. So, new M9's are supposed to be just 92FS's. Of course, this gun is manufactured in US (besides Italy) now.
@RaidingWindmills so whats the real purpose of having 2 different models for military or civilians? i mean there isn't much difference (according to the video) other than its design and the sights.
@broodm I have no idea. Probably to satisfy the people out there in power positions who don't know any better. Just like they did with the 9 mm Luger in Italy where there is some dumb law that civilians can't have guns chambered in the same specification as military weapons. So they made the 9X21 mm round to make everyone happy. Very dumb things lawmakers do. If you ever press them on why, they won't be able to give you a good answer, just lots of bullshit.
@RaidingWindmills I think LA County Sheriffs Dept still use the Beretta 92 as well. Under Chief Bratton, LAPD started issuing the Glock 22 to new recruits at the academy a few years back, but there are still many veteran officers that covet their old Berettas. Great vid, thanks for sharing!
@MaxParker22 Whaaaaaat????? a cop that gives his gun to his 10 y.o. son? you,know, if a cop does that in italy he ends up in jail and immediatly loses his parental rights! when a kid blows up his or someone else's brains it is not an accident, it's manslaughter and the guilty is the one who gave the gun to the kid!
no one should ever handle a weapon unless he is adult and properly trained to use it.
@GetitUnderCool You are pretty fucking dumb dude, You dont have to be an adult to have a gun, and you can also be trained with guns as a kid. Dumbass. You ever hear of hunting?
@MaxParker22 and other european and non-european countries, you HAVE to be an adult, and letting
a child handling a gun is a crime, just like letting a kid drive a car! personally i'm not particularly interested in hunting, i would choice clay shoting instead, but maybe it's only because the only hunters that i know are
rich, obnoxious, old guys who have to prove to their friends and to themselves that they have never lost their virility (which , in most case, they never had), and they
@RaidingWindmills When I was part of the South Korean Security Battalion (Those guys who guard the blue buildings in the JSA) we were all issued a 92fs. Now the pistols are changed to a Korean Daewoo k5, but I also didn't really get the difference between the US Solder's side arms, the M9
@broodm At first the military M9 and the civilian 92FS were identical except for markings. Since then the 92FS has evolved slightly, while the M9 remained the same to conform to the original military contract requirements. The 92FS has a slanted dust cover because the .40 caliber version uses the same frame. The dished backstrap helps trigger reach, and the 3-dot sights are more popular with civilians. The civilian-legal M9 is the same as the military one except for serial number sequence.
@Volkovic7013 all branches of the US military use the M9, the 92FS is the civilian version, but is sometimes used by special forces such as the police and swat
I have shot the M9 for the Navy many times. I could swear they have the 3 dot sights. Also I know for sure the spring guide in the M9 is metal. I have seen online, not in person of plastic spring guides in some civilian Beretta's
Don't know if you would know at all, but why would Beretta make such subtle differences and then market them as different weapons when they are pretty much the same?
Here is the right answer. The M9 is the millitary name given to the 92 series. You are just comparing 2 92's right there. Most likely different years or ones an 92f or 92fs. the M9 is just a Millitary version 92. hence M (Military) 9(92fs)
I think the only minor thing not covered here are the grip screws. IIRC the M9 uses flat head screws to allow the grips to be removed with any improvised tool (screw driver, coin etc) , where as the 92FS uses hex screws
Could you or someone else Elaborate or Explain about the 2 dot - 3 dot aiming system??? Im a rookie and have no idea about all this, but im extremely interested, Im going to the shooting range for the first time next Wednesday :D
Also, all in all what gun would you qualify as the better of the 2?
@Luishazong Actually, the Beretta M9 and 92FS are the same gun, with minor safety feature changes. The M9 is the military model marking, where the 92FS is the civilian variant. Both weapons are in the 9mm caliber, and both use the same clips. A two dot sight means that there are no markings on the rear sight, a three dot sight has dots on both sides of the rear sight. As the reviewer mentions, the two dot system is easier to use in combat or high stress situations.
The 92FS is a better choice, being that the FS designations means "Fixed slide"... There is a safety pin that keeps the slide from flying off the gun and striking the shooter in the face if your receiver lugs break due to stress. In conclusion, all military issued M9 pistols are identical to the 92FS, while older models that haven't been decommissioned yet are the older model.
whats the purpose of the dust cover? I'm very interested in guns and am relatively new to to it, so does anyone know a good sight, for beginners to learn more details about firearms.
@ArbyK They should. They have almost the exact same shape and locking points. Dont quote me tho haha but I am planning on getting a serpa when I buy my 92
M9 is basically a Military edition of the Beretta 92FS thats why you see alot of USA on them and they have a few minor tweaks to the slide. I believe the newer M9's also have an accessory rail on them too. Pretty much a bunch of hardcore military dudes all shot the 92fs and were given the right to change whatever they wanted to make it the perfect US military sidearm.
I have a m9 and I love it !!!!!!!!! i m with it every place i go and vice versa. I use the winchester pdx1 i think its called in the 124 +p round is that a good round for my m9 also I still have the plastic in my m9 should i get the metal for mine or will it be ok thanks...rhino
EXCELLENT review! Do they both have the plastic parts, or just the M9? I heard they put a plastic part or two in the M9 due to sand issues in Iraq...???
@kh2hbTV They both came with polymer guide rod, polymer coated trigger, and etc. But, I replaced all that with factory metal parts. Thanks for watching!
@RaidingWindmills how do you get the metal parts for these i have a 92f and want to replace my plastec parts and think bin wanting more pistol. so know i'm planing on getting a m9 and a 84f thanks man.
the M9 is a designation given by the military for a firearm that has passed military testing and with minor changes if any, go into military production. think about all the other M's in the military weapon cache. M4, M16, M203, M21, M14, M1 etc etc...
btw, the differences in the sights are just painted differently. the rear sight has 3 recesses. in the FS, the two side recesses are painted. in the M9, the center recess is painted. one can change the sight system back and forth from 2 to 3 dot
The M9's subtle differences are exactly what the looked like on a 92F I once owned years ago. It was a sub-compact 92F I bought from a former co-worker that he bought new in 1987. It was Italian made 13rd mag and 4" barrel 9mm. Straight frame, same sights, everything. I wonder why Beretta would change the model # if they kept the same characteristics?
@TheReturningShadow The 92FS differs from the 92F in that the 92FS has an enlarged hammer pin and a groove for it cut out in the slide. This helps retain the rear of the slide and keeps it from hitting the shooter's face if the side were to rupture/separate in half (usually where the locking lugs are).
@RaidingWindmills Ok. Good to know. I appreciate you give us some knowledge. However, I was referring to the similarity of the M9 to my old 92F. If they kept most or all of the characteristics of the old 92F, then why give it an M9 model number? Obviously the 92FS has different characteristics than the old 92F, so naturally the new model number. But M9? Does that have something to do directly with the military and there modeling system?
@TheReturningShadow M9 is the military designation, nothing more. Beretta has since marketed an M9, which is basically a 92FS in the same form as the one that was adopted in the '80s, while the base 92FS model has been evolving. Whatever pistol won the XM9 trials in the 80s would have been designated M9, whether it would have been the Sig P226 the Colt Double Eagle or the Ruger P95. The military ordered the M9 that won the trials in the '80s, so that's what Beretta has to deliver them (cont)
@PaleHorseWC2 thanks. you just confirmed my thought that "M9" was simply a military designation. I did notice the similarities the A1 and the 92. Including the light rail. thanks again.
@TheReturningShadow which is why the design of both the military M9 and the civilian purchasable M9 remains unchanged. When the Corps wanted improvements, they asked for them and subsequently got a new pistol, the M9A1, which I am willing to bet if you looked carefully at them, would have all the same features as a present-day 92 model, in addition to the light rail.
I recently picked up an American Tactical Imports C92. I picked it up at a gunshow. It's made in Turkey and is a copy of the M9. Total cost out the door with bacground check was only $351. I have used the M9 and also the Taurus version, I could only compare side by side to the 92FS and all parts interchanged with one another. I ended up buying it and I have to admit, it shoots very well. If there were no markings you couldn't tell that it's not an M9. Google it.
ive owned both and neither are accurate shooting pistols,,,youll shoot 2-3 shots good,then one off the paper!!,,,its not the shooter either,its the gun,,,i know professionals that will tell you the same damn thing!!..i dont know why it is,thats just how they shoot,,i think its the long trigger pull myself,a lot to go wrong in that distance,,,i can shoot circles around my berettas with a glock or 1911,,,and for me again,its all in the trigger

I have shot the M9 for the Navy many times. I could swear they have the 3 dot sights. Also I know for sure the spring guide in the M9 is metal. I have seen online, not in person of plastic spring guides in some civilian Beretta's

@bkpcom Beretta had a few issues with the slide breaking and actually coming off from the rear of the gun on the 92F. The 92FS is the fixed version
tdorman89 11 months ago
Don't know if you would know at all, but why would Beretta make such subtle differences and then market them as different weapons when they are pretty much the same?

Okay, then what is a 92F as opposed to the 92FS?

Okay, then what is a 92F?
bkpcom 11 months ago
Here is the right answer. The M9 is the millitary name given to the 92 series. You are just comparing 2 92's right there. Most likely different years or ones an 92f or 92fs. the M9 is just a Millitary version 92. hence M (Military) 9(92fs)

I think the only minor thing not covered here are the grip screws. IIRC the M9 uses flat head screws to allow the grips to be removed with any improvised tool (screw driver, coin etc) , where as the 92FS uses hex screws

Could you or someone else Elaborate or Explain about the 2 dot - 3 dot aiming system??? Im a rookie and have no idea about all this, but im extremely interested, Im going to the shooting range for the first time next Wednesday :D
Also, all in all what gun would you qualify as the better of the 2?
Luishazong 11 months ago
@Luishazong Actually, the Beretta M9 and 92FS are the same gun, with minor safety feature changes. The M9 is the military model marking, where the 92FS is the civilian variant. Both weapons are in the 9mm caliber, and both use the same clips. A two dot sight means that there are no markings on the rear sight, a three dot sight has dots on both sides of the rear sight. As the reviewer mentions, the two dot system is easier to use in combat or high stress situations.
vulcangriffon 11 months ago
The 92FS is a better choice, being that the FS designations means "Fixed slide"... There is a safety pin that keeps the slide from flying off the gun and striking the shooter in the face if your receiver lugs break due to stress. In conclusion, all military issued M9 pistols are identical to the 92FS, while older models that haven't been decommissioned yet are the older model.

bigdollars99 1 year ago
M9 is basically a Military edition of the Beretta 92FS thats why you see alot of USA on them and they have a few minor tweaks to the slide. I believe the newer M9's also have an accessory rail on them too. Pretty much a bunch of hardcore military dudes all shot the 92fs and were given the right to change whatever they wanted to make it the perfect US military sidearm.

the M9 is a designation given by the military for a firearm that has passed military testing and with minor changes if any, go into military production. think about all the other M's in the military weapon cache. M4, M16, M203, M21, M14, M1 etc etc...
btw, the differences in the sights are just painted differently. the rear sight has 3 recesses. in the FS, the two side recesses are painted. in the M9, the center recess is painted. one can change the sight system back and forth from 2 to 3 dot

The M9's subtle differences are exactly what the looked like on a 92F I once owned years ago. It was a sub-compact 92F I bought from a former co-worker that he bought new in 1987. It was Italian made 13rd mag and 4" barrel 9mm. Straight frame, same sights, everything. I wonder why Beretta would change the model # if they kept the same characteristics?
TheReturningShadow 1 year ago
@TheReturningShadow The 92FS differs from the 92F in that the 92FS has an enlarged hammer pin and a groove for it cut out in the slide. This helps retain the rear of the slide and keeps it from hitting the shooter's face if the side were to rupture/separate in half (usually where the locking lugs are).
RaidingWindmills 1 year ago
@RaidingWindmills Ok. Good to know. I appreciate you give us some knowledge. However, I was referring to the similarity of the M9 to my old 92F. If they kept most or all of the characteristics of the old 92F, then why give it an M9 model number? Obviously the 92FS has different characteristics than the old 92F, so naturally the new model number. But M9? Does that have something to do directly with the military and there modeling system?
TheReturningShadow 1 year ago
@TheReturningShadow M9 is the military designation, nothing more. Beretta has since marketed an M9, which is basically a 92FS in the same form as the one that was adopted in the '80s, while the base 92FS model has been evolving. Whatever pistol won the XM9 trials in the 80s would have been designated M9, whether it would have been the Sig P226 the Colt Double Eagle or the Ruger P95. The military ordered the M9 that won the trials in the '80s, so that's what Beretta has to deliver them (cont)
PaleHorseWC2 1 year ago
@PaleHorseWC2 thanks. you just confirmed my thought that "M9" was simply a military designation. I did notice the similarities the A1 and the 92. Including the light rail. thanks again.
TheReturningShadow 1 year ago
@TheReturningShadow which is why the design of both the military M9 and the civilian purchasable M9 remains unchanged. When the Corps wanted improvements, they asked for them and subsequently got a new pistol, the M9A1, which I am willing to bet if you looked carefully at them, would have all the same features as a present-day 92 model, in addition to the light rail.

Does the M9 have a polymer spring guide or metal? I plan on upgrading mine to a metal one.

I recently picked up an American Tactical Imports C92. I picked it up at a gunshow. It's made in Turkey and is a copy of the M9. Total cost out the door with bacground check was only $351. I have used the M9 and also the Taurus version, I could only compare side by side to the 92FS and all parts interchanged with one another. I ended up buying it and I have to admit, it shoots very well. If there were no markings you couldn't tell that it's not an M9. Google it.
