Over the years, we have found that everyone shoots the Beretta 92 better than any other pistol.

The 92 is easy to shoot, its just a terrible defensive gun.

The reason it works so well is its a long baseline for the sights, and its heavy so the recoil is suppressed in comparison to a lighter, shorter barrel gun.

The reason its bad for combat/defense is its open slide and external hammer design is poor for a dirty environment and fouls easy with dirt, sand, mud, and the guns gets 'dry' in about 100 rounds, requiring lube or it will malfunction. By its design, its also prone to 'bite' skin, or pinch, when working the action quickly. A full slide avoids that.

But as a range gun for practice, its fine.

Plus for concealed carry it’s chunky and a boat anchor. Carried a 92 compact for a while, was always worried about “printing”.
