I do, however, recommend that anyone who chooses to carry the Beretta 92 also purchase an inversion table to help the sore back after lugging it around all day.

Bought my 92 in ‘96, and it’s still the one pistol I have that I can shoot the straightest and fastest.

I bought my first model 92 in 1979. The action was the same as later models but some things were different.

I had purchased 500 rounds of 9mm surplus at a cheap price. My Nephew and I took a Browning and the Beretta out to shoot as much as we could without our thumbs becoming sore from refilling mags.

The Browning which otherwise has never failed, failed to ignite on nearly every shot. It was 100% on the second strike. The Beretta was 100%.

Double action on the Beretta was pretty stout probably due to that strong spring. It was fine in single action.

I am not criticizing the Browning as it has never had a bobble with other ammo. I suspect that surplus 9mm was sub machine gun fodder. Still I had to respect that Beretta.
