I bought one of these for 299.99 @ CDNN and figured I'd give a little review.

The gun is a 100% parts compatible military grade copy of the Beretta 92 centurion. The only difference I can find is that the ATI version has a steel guide rod but other wise seems to be the same(minus the silly ATI markings everywhere).

So far I have found 100% reliability with about 3-400 of my reloaded ammo. I have switched out the hammer spring for a 16lb D spring to lighten the trigger a some and put some walnut beretta grips to dress it up a bit.


So far I am very happy with my purchase but I have to get used to shooting DA/SA(I wanted to shoot USPSA with it).


Here she is



Here's how it comes

I think the slides and barrels will not interchange with the Beretta, but everything else will.

Anyway, I have one too. Excellent gun. If it weren't for the ATI roll marks, you'd never know it's not the real thing.

I have confirmed with a friend that the slide and barrels do interchange with the Beretta 92 centurion.. I can say that the 92c does interchange but maybe you have the full size..:confused:

Nope, I have the 92C, was just going off what I've heard. Nice to know that the slides and barrels will exchange with a centurion.

Definitely the best NEW gun you can purchase for $300 out there. It's not even close.
 
Any higher round counts, 5,000+. Always wanted a 92FS but somehow wound up with 3 M&Ps at that particular crossroad. Looks like a winner.
 
Hello guys,

I have not posted much and am pretty new to this board. I have however, on a couple of different threads posted about the AT92 C.

I picked up mine from my ffl last Saturday. All I can say is WOW!! For all intents and purposes, this a a Beretta 92f Centurion. Notice that I say f and not fs. Parts seem to be completely interchangable to Beretta.

I know its not much, but I have run a couple of hundred rounds thru this gun w/o a single misfire or malfunction. 100 each of Privi and Mag-Tech. I even did something that I normally would not do. Based on articles that I had read, I took this pistol to the range and ran rounds thru it without first cleaning the gun. (I have since cleaned and oilded it) It ran like a champ, right out of the box.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents...
 
I liked the first one I bought so much I've bought two more. A lady I taught to shoot bought two. A friend bought two. The lady's brother bought one. Another lady I taught to shoot bought one.

The local gun store manager said the ATI 92C is his best seller.
They are going for $400 around here.

One problem. Of the two I'm shooting, on one the extractor pin started to work it's way out (up). Beretta stakes this pin in but ATI does not. Keep an eye in it.

While Beretta 92 magazines function fine in the ATI the slide will not lock open on a empty magazine much of the time.

The magazine holds 15. I also very happy with my C92. I was thinking of selling it because it was a "cheap" gun, where I got mine felt $369, but it shoots so well and accurately.
 
To Gyvel:

In answer to your question, as far as I can tell, no. This pistol appears to be an f model, not an fs. However, it seems that the U.S. military went thru thousands and thousands of NATO type "hot" rounds and had a few failures due to the metalurgy of the time.

I would suspect that most people would never experience any sort of failure. Keep in mind that this pistol is in use by the Turkish militery, the Syrian army, the Malaysian special forces and national police, among others.

I do not mean to sound as if I am pimping this pistol...but yet I am very impressed, especially for the price otd that I paid.
 
Realize that these are the last of the 92 clones by ATI. They lost the rights to import them. CDNN bought up the last of them, and that's why they've been selling them so often. They sold out of the fullsize ones a while back.

Not sure how that will effect warranty, should there be a problem (don't know if they will have any spare parts)

I'm glad you like the gun, though

Since I bought my first ATI C92 I have been paying attention to the Turkish guns. They make long guns also. Every one I've seen is very well made.

I heard that rumor. Where did you see it? If confirmed I may buy the last ATI C92 the local gun store has.

I read it a while back. Honestly, I am on so many forums, I cannot remember where I saw it. I think it has been discussed on the Beretta Forum.
 
Great deal. Thanks for posting. I'm going to try it. Ad says it was formerly $549.... Why the price drop.?

I'm glad your experiences with Turkish guns has been good. Mine were just the opposite: Two Turkish shotguns (Sarsilmaz) and a Regent R100 1911 that were total POS.

I suspect, like here, there are good brands and bad.

A friend bought a good looking Turkish pump shotgun that is labled "Winchester".
Very nicely made.
I'd buy one but I'm already too heavy with shotguns.

The LGS just got in a couple AR15 look alike 12 ga shotguns. He said they are Turkish.
They look impressive.


Earlier in the week I was shooting the ATI 92C. Yesterday a lady friend was shooting her 92C.
Good guns.:)

I've been expecting Beretta would spread some money around to the right politicians to get the ATI Beretta clone imports stopped.
If true, I will probably buy the last ATI 92C the gun store has.
 
Ati at92c

Took my son to the range today. Shot Glock 17, Tanfoglio Force Carry (.40), and AT92C.

Needless to say we had a blast (no pun intended). Guys, let me say, I am not that good of shot. My pistols shoot beter than I do.

The sweetist shooter? Rapid fire at about 30 feet, AT92C. 12 rounds of head shot, 2 Wide left by 3 inches and 5 inches, 1 wide right by about 4 inches. The rounds that hit in the head of the silhouette were very close to 5 inch grouping.

I don't know...You guys may shoot these groups all the time. With most guns I am not this good. For the money this is a fantastic (in my opinion) firearm.

I have a Sig 2340 arriving Wednesday. Could only hope that it shoots near as well.

Gunner
