The 92S configuration here reflects the early European pattern, featuring the heel-type magazine release and a rounded trigger guard. It also includes a lanyard loop located at the rear of the frame/tang behind the hammer. The pistol’s DA/SA system is paired with a slide-mounted safety/decocker and an external spurred hammer.
The slide uses Beretta’s signature open-top design with rear-only vertical serrations and a polished blue/black-oxide finish. Sights are fixed, with a front blade and rear notch, providing a durable and straightforward sighting setup.
The frame is aluminum alloy with a black hard-coat anodized finish, keeping weight down while maintaining durability. Smooth wood grip panels without checkering or medallions round out the period-correct look and feel.
Italian manufacture at Gardone V.T., Italian proof marks with the square date-code cartouche, and the BERBEN CORPORATION N.Y.–N.Y. import mark anchor the pistol’s provenance. The included factory box bears a label matching the pistol’s serial, and the PB-marked steel magazine is a factory Beretta component.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 4.9 inch barrel, this full-size 92 Series pistol has a 15+1 capacity. The bore condition is excellent with sharp rifling, aligning well with the overall very good condition noted.
