All Beretta 92 Range Day

[mesinge2]

All shooting was done at 15 yards. The first ten mags are all Mec-Gar mags, the flush fitting 18 round AFC mags and the extended 20 round AFC mags (as you can see the extension on the 20 round mags is not that much for an extended mag).








First up is the new-to-me 92G centurion. As the locking block of a 92 is a wearable part and this is a twenty year old gun, I wanted to replace it before I dumped a huge amount of ammo down the tube. So, I reset the odometer to zero. I replaced all the springs, small pins, plunger pin, and locking block. 650 rounds without pause, including 50 of my chosen 9mm carry load, Hornady's 135 grain Critical Duty (not Defense).

I experienced no malfunctions at all. This Beretta 92 has the best trigger of all the ones I own (probably because it has been shot sooo many times) yet it displays the phenomenon of first round flyer that my other 92s don't. This is my new carry gun with an 18 round flush mag and one in the tube with two 20 round mags on my hip.


The 92G and targets:












I finally got to try the 92fs with the new Recover tactical grips and they are awesome and they hold zero with the laser perfectly.
I use this gun as my home defense handgun with a 20 round mag loaded to 20+1.





This target is using the sights:





And this one is just using the laser from the hip:










And finally my Beretta Inox which I plan to use in the production category of USPSA:

Proof again as too why the Beretta 92 series / M-9 is more than adequate for use by the U.S. military.

My active duty son loves to shoot my Beretta when he is home. He likes it because it is nicer than his issued one. He does leave lots of room on the target though. He likes to shoot small groups in the head of a target or center of the bullseye. Says he practicing on Bin Laden!

Thanks for the mention, would love to see that Inox in a ReCover BC2 grip as well ;-)

I just can't wait for your holster for the Beretta grip. When that comes out I'll carry that 92fs above.

I have a new Beretta M-9 and an older Browning Hi-Power. Both are great fun at the range. The Beretta will most likely never gain the status and reputation of the Browning, but both are excellent shooters, and in my opinion, are pretty much equal.

I find that the smartest people at the range are usually shooting Beretta 92's

An M9 has been on my list for a very long time.

Well gee wiz guy, you got so many Beretta's... Have you ever considered compensating one of them? I know a guy that makes really good SGS style comp that is original to the Beretta 92 series.

and here is a picture of my professional, it really works!

Nice shooting with all of your Beretta Model 92s! Occasionally I use to get a first round flyer like that with my SIG P226 and P228. Like the look, the utility, and the price of the ReCover BC2 Tactical Grip.

With the comp they send a extra long recoil rod that sticks out of the end of the gun. slide the comp on over that and screws on into the recoil rod. no need to thread a barrel and it really works.

here is a video i found showing how to put it on. mine as well mute it and skip to 1:50 into the video and just watch how he does it.
