Beretta 92FS Handgun

The Beretta 92FS is one of the most iconic semi-automatic pistols in the world, renowned for its service as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States military for decades under the designation M9. Originally designed by Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazzetti, and Vittorio Valle, the 92FS model evolved from earlier Beretta designs to incorporate a double/single-action trigger and an open-slide design that helps prevent malfunctions.

Manufacturing of the Beretta 92 series is split primarily between the company's historic headquarters in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, and its state-of-the-art facility in Gallatin, Tennessee, USA (formerly located in Maryland). This dual-country production ensures high availability for both military contracts and the civilian self-defense market. Ownership of the brand remains within the Beretta family, making it one of the oldest active firearms manufacturers in the world.
