The 92S configuration combines a blued open-top slide with a black-anodized aluminum alloy frame, delivering the classic full-size Beretta profile with a 4.9 in steel barrel and a 15+1 double-column capacity. The external spur hammer and DA/SA trigger system pair with a slide-mounted safety/decocker for the model’s standard control layout.
Fixed sights include an integral front blade and a rear notch set in a drift-adjustable dovetail. The frame retains service-oriented details such as a lanyard loop at the heel and a rounded (non-hooked) trigger guard. Checkered black polymer grip panels with Beretta medallions provide a secure hold.
Origin and markings add context: this pistol was made in Italy in 1981, carries Italian proof and inspection marks, and bears the "BERBEN CORPORATION N.Y. – N.Y." import stamp. As a pre–Beretta U.S.A. import, it represents an early stateside example of the 92S.
Included are three 15-round steel magazines with mixed-origin stampings and the original Beretta factory instruction manual. Together with the pistol’s core 92S features, these items round out a straightforward, period-correct package.
