It was a PT-92 variant. Had a frame mounted safety, up-safe/down-fire, much like a 1911 clone or a CZ.
Except...no decocker.
See, the standard PT-92s have up-safe/down-fire/far down-decock. This is bad. In the heat of things, you can draw, mash down the safety lever, decock the pistol, and it won't be able to fire if you're holding the lever down.
Is this a problem with HK USPs too?
The no-decock model aleviates this. If you want to carry double action simply lower the hammer manually, like the CZ-75.
Beretta should really make a model like this. Or, one with a separate, slide-mounted decocking lever.
Actually, they should make a model with that kind of safety and the dust cover grooved for mounting lights. It would click better with what American shooters are looking for these days and might get Beretta back in the game. I understand there sales have been taking a hit stateside...
EDIT: Remebered the whole "there their they're" thing. Geez, my year in the desert made me dumb...
