Beretta 92A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the Sig 320. I would not want to go at it with a weapon that somebody can reach right over with one hand and pull the slide right off?

Despite silly stunts training experts imagine to be possible- nobody in real life has had an opponent reach over and take the slide off their Beretta 92.

Silliness.

The Beretta model 92 in all it’s versions is extraordinarily reliable.

The only problem is it’s grip is too large for smaller hands.

You are absolutely correct in a close hand to hand scenario, provided someone is familiar with the 92A1, they could remove the slide as you described. A little difficult to do during a struggle however.

Counting on the opponents ignorance of the 92A1 and never ever ever allow them to close the distance between you and them.

“Beretta 92A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the Sig 320 “

Lets see how your statement works with other weapons. Times do change. Good weapons (or not) get switched out for other weapons by the US military.

Colt 1911A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the Beretta M9.

M-14? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the M-16.

M-1 Garand? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldn’t be getting rid of it for the M-14.
