The Beretta 92 pistol evolved from earlier Beretta designs. This semi-automatic pistol has taken features from different Beretta models. It is notable for the open slide design, the alloy frame and locking block.The Beretta 92 variants are some of the most widely used handguns on the planet and have been the battle proven choice of law enforcement and military units all over the world for decades! Ultra tough and always dependable, the Beretta 92 has also found a permanent home with legally armed civilians everywhere.
The 92G and 92D were among the more popular law enforcement variants. The French national police, or Gendarmerie, requested a version of the 92FS with no manual safety and Beretta offered the 92G For many years, the 92G was only available as a special order option for government contracts. The 92G developed into the 92D for law enforcement across the United States as they transitioned from revolvers to semi-automatic pistols.
The ancestry of this Italian company dates back to 1526. The Beretta family began in the firearms business as barrel makers. Soon after, they began manufacturing their own sporting shoulder arms. The first Beretta pistols were made in 1915, and by the end of the 20th century, Beretta had become one of the world's major premier handgun manufacturers.
In 1977 Beretta-USA was established, with a manufacturing facility located in Accokeek, Maryland. In 1985 the US armed forces adopted Beretta's Model 92 pistol as their standard sidearm.
