Beretta 92FS Inox or 92SB?

The best ones were the ones that Beretta made back in the 1990s, which had a better (polished) finish and better build quality.

I don't think he said it was a newer model, it comes with the older style case. But that could just be the case itself. The The biggest thing I hate about newer 92's is the slanted dust cover. Ugly as shit. They put warnings all over the gun too, ruins them. That's why I bought a used '92 or '93 Italian INOX, my 92F is Italian also. I have seen some early USA made INOX's that had the straight dust cover, no warnings and silver controls.

The grip I can still reach the release, its just awkward feeling in hand. My hands arent small, I just like slim guns. The best feeling pistol I fired was a BAER TRS with slimgrips. I shoot with my thumbs off to the side and there is a bad pressure point on one of them. Im sure I could get used to it, but the gun doesn't feel natural, and theres more options for me.

92SB. Just would be a nice thing to own.
I like the look of the the grips too.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. And yes, it is ugly; totally ruins the shape of the weapon.

And I agree that 92Fs made in Italy are preferable to American-made guns. The American ones also have that indentation in the grips that I don't like (or at least, the ones made after a certain time period do).

I'd rather have American made over anything, with the exception of Belgian guns

The Italian ones are usually of better quality. Anyhow, I decided on the SB as they are rarer and the Inox wasn't configured how I wanted it. Here's a picture, I'll have some better ones tomorrow when I get some natural light in here.



Upon a second inspection I noticed a few more dings than I did before, but it's still in good condition considering it's age. All I need to do now is test fire it.......
