The Beretta 92 series is a line of semi-automatic pistols that has become one of the most recognizable and widely used handguns globally since its introduction in 1976. Initially designed to incorporate key features from earlier Beretta models, such as the M1923 and M1951, the 92 series quickly evolved into a platform renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and robust design. The pistols feature an open slide design that ensures smooth feeding and ejection, along with a hard-chromed barrel bore to protect against wear and corrosion. The use of a double-stacked magazine, first introduced on the Browning Hi-Power, allows for higher ammunition capacity without increasing the pistol's bulk. Over the years, the Beretta 92 has been offered in various calibers and configurations, most notably in 9mm and .40 S&W. The 92FS is maybe the most famous, adopted by the United States military as the M9 in 1985. The 92G variant is equipped with a decocker-only mechanism, designed for the French Gendarmerie, while the 92A1 and 96A1 models introduced enhanced features such as an accessory rail and improved magazine capacity. The 92X series, launched in 2019, modernized the platform with features like a 3-slot Picatinny rail, a universal slide, and the Xtreme-S trigger system. The 92XI, introduced in 2023, further innovates with a single-action-only design and frame-mounted safety, catering to users who prefer a 1911-style operation in a Beretta platform. The 92 GTS, the latest variant introduced in 2024, is an evolution of the 92XI series, featuring a new double-action/single-action mechanism. This update includes a newly designed "twin sear" system and a decocker-only configuration, which gives the GTS its name, standing for G-series, Twin Sear.
