Congrats on the 'Ghost'. My 92FS Inox is my best shooter. The longer you have it the more you will probably like it. You may want to consider putting in a D or Wolff 16# hammer spring - dramatically improved my accuracy.
 
Can you explain how a hammer spring improves accuracy for those of us who are ignorant of that? Is it just a faster lock time?
 
Lighter hammer spring = lighter trigger pull. Lighter trigger pull = easier to shoot and more accuracy

Thanks, maybe I will - though it certainly is accurate now - but can't get TOO accurate now can it..

What's a "D" spring, another Wolf?
 
The D spring comes from Beretta; the 16# from Wolff is supposed to be the equivalent. I have the Wolff in mine. Pretty easy to change out unless you have the Italian version (which I do) with the roll pin. Pain to get out. Replaced that with the Beretta USA version pin and is now much easier when I want to replace the spring.

yeah. that was a fun thanksgiving weekend.

I did the "D" spring, skeletonized hammer and INS trigger return string in addition to polishing a few parts of the trigger mechanism.
 
All steel Berettas do exist, but they are damn rare. I had an acquaintance who showed me one. It was heavy, and you could see a small bits of rust trying to start on the dust cover. It was made in Italy, but I don't know when.
 
Using a magnet you will be able to tell what parts are aluminum alloy and what are stainless steel.

You sure...? Most of the stainless steel I work with isn't magnetic... however there are some out there.

gvf, just my input, but with the aluminum frame you need to be careful what holsters you use. I used a CQC Serpa drop-leg and a hip paddle while I was deployed (depending on where I was) and moving the pistol back and forth, the lock on the serpa wore out the trigger guard (it was shaving it away). Even though it may be anodized, the aluminum may tend to show holster burn more quickly than the slide.
 
I use a leather Alessi OWB. Hope that'll be OK.

Anyone have a problem with leather and their Inox?

Congrats on a nice find. I found a nice 92fs in INOX form a while ago as well. A beautiful gun, one of the softest shooting, extended range time friendly guns I've ever used. I'd like to try those Hogue grips, I imagine they make the gun that much more user friendly.

Like shooting a .22. Very reliable also: average reliability at Beretta USA 17,500 rounds with no stoppages. The army conducted a test of Beretta 92Sf: 10 shooters: 168,000 rounds with no stoppages (test ended at that)
 
Beretta 92's are fine machines. A bit heavy and large for a 9mm that size, but it's pretty accurate and reliable. Good find.
