Official Beretta 92A1/96A1 Review

The 90 Series has been our flagship pistol family for decades. The latest addition to the 90 Series family is the 92A1/96A1. A few key improvements have taken this old war horse to the next level. We've added an integral MIL-STD 1913 rail for the addition of lights, lasers, and other gear and gadgets. A dovetailed front sight now allows you to change out to night sights, fiber optic, or any other style that may fit your operational needs. The internal frame buffer offers a significant increase in service life, especially with the .40 caliber. The 9mm (92A1) model sports the same buffer. Every 92A1 and 96A1 ships with three (3) gloss coat magazines. The 9mm's are 17 rounds and the .40's hold 12. These WILL work in any 90 series pistol. 9mm's work in 92F, 92FS, M9, M9A1, 9mm 90-TWO, and Cx4's set up to take 92 magazines. The .40's will work in the 96, .40 cal 90-TWO, and CX4's set up to take 96 magazines. Add in a captive recoil spring and the quick lock, take down catch and the 92A1/96A1 is proven war machine, ready to rock.

@samfisherskiller Because the 96A1 is based on the M9A1 platform used by the USMC

[RottingLegion]

Is the frame on the 96a1 polymer or metal?

[BerettaCommunity]

@RottingLegion The frame of the 96A1 is in aluminum

[Damageinc2485]

Why did they get rid of the serrated front grip on the trigger guard?

[BerettaCommunity]

@Damageinc2485 The 96A1 was the result of redesign requests from the USMC

[BerettaCommunity]

The 92A1 and 96A1 are two different calibers: 9mm and 40SW

I love my Beretta M9A1 equipped with a surefire x400. i sleep with it next to my pillow. its my go to home defender and what I would use to clear my home if I need to. the accuracy of this pistol is amazing and has been 100 percent reliable so far. If I need a little extra firepower My Benelli m4 in proper military configuration and setup for 24 hour operation is right underneath my bed. My home and teenage woman are protected by Italian weapons and a part Italian sexy beast(myself).

[samfisherskiller]

Inox ?

[samfisherskiller]

Well fuck, is there gonna be a 40. Cal version of the m9 or am i stuck with this shitty 96A1 less aggressive style?

[Anarchy2010]

@Damageinc2485 Probably to discourage people from putting their finger up there. A proper grip would wrap the weak hand index finger under the trigger guard with the others. If they're redesigns requested by the military I would imagine they instill shooting fundamentals to a lot of new shooters and don't want to encourage deviation from the accepted form.

[samfisherskiller]

How is it a request by the military if the m9 is only in 9mm

[xlBlLlolClKlZlx]

Can you put a 90 two slide on the 92a1?

[samfisherskiller]

Im not a fan of the 96A1, its a vertec knock off. Any chance of redoing this model in inox and removing that 1/4 inch barrel sticking out?

[checchia]

The old 15 round mag will work on the 92a1?

[drewyoung471]
