The '''Beretta 92''' (also '''Beretta 96''' and '''Beretta 98''') is a series of [[semi-automatic pistol]]s designed and manufactured by [[Beretta]] of Italy.

==History==
Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazzetti and Vittorio Valle, all experienced firearms designers, contributed to the final design in 1975.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.berettaweb.com/92%20Successo/Beretta%2092%20a%20global%20success%201a.htm |title=Model 92FS: 15 years of evolution and success |date=2009 |website=Beretta Web |access-date=25 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808040443/http://www.berettaweb.com/92%20Successo/Beretta%2092%20a%20global%20success%201a.htm |archive-date=8 August 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Beretta 92 was designed in 1975, and production began in 1976. Many variants in several calibers continue to be used to the present.

===Evolution===

====92====
Production began in May 1976, and ended in February 1983. Approximately 7,000 units were of the first "step slide" design and 45,000 were of the second "straight slide" type.<ref name="Wilson2000">{{cite book |last=Wilson |first=Robert Lawrence |title=The World of Beretta: An International Legend |year=2000 |location=New York |publisher=Random House |pages=207, 234 |isbn=978-0-375-50149-4}}</ref>

====92S====
In order to meet the requirements of some law enforcement agencies, Beretta modified the Beretta 92 by adding a slide-mounted combined safety and decocking lever, replacing the frame-mounted manual thumb safety.

This resulted in the '''92S''', which was adopted by several Italian law enforcement and military units. The magazine release button is at the bottom of the grip as is customary in Europe.

This model was produced from 1978 to 1982. The name "92S" means "Sicurezza", or "security" (as in "safety"), in Italian.

====92SB (92S-1)====
The '''92SB''', initially called '''92S-1''', was specifically designed for the [[United States Air Force|USAF]] trials. The 92SB model name was officially adopted after winning.

"92SB" means "Sicurezza Blocco", meaning "safety block" in Italian. This refers to both the slide-mounted safety and the internal [[firing pin block]].

Other improvements include ambidextrous safety levers, [[Iron sights#Contrast enhancements|3-dot sights]] and relocating the magazine release catch from the bottom of the grip to the lower bottom of the trigger guard.

The later relocation of the magazine release button means preceding models (92 & 92S) cannot necessarily use later magazines, unless they have notches in both areas.<ref name="Ayoob2011">{{cite book |last=Ayoob |first=Massad |author-link=Massad Ayoob |title=Gun Digest Book of Beretta Pistols: Function / Accuracy / Performance |year=2011 |location=Iola, Wisconsin |publisher=Gun Digest Books |pages=59–60 |isbn=978-1-4402-2424-9}}</ref>

===== 92SB Compact =====
A compact version with a shortened barrel and slide and 13-round magazine capacity known as the '''92SB Compact''' was manufactured from 1981 to 1991.<ref name="Ayoob2011" />

====92F (92SB-F)====
[[File:Beretta_92F_9MM_Parabellum_Pistol.jpg|thumb|A gold-plated, diamond-encrusted Beretta 92F 9mm Parabellum pistol with matching suppressor confiscated from a safehouse belonging to [[Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán]]"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://museum.dea.gov/museum-collection/collection-spotlight/artifact/beretta-92f-9mm-parabellum-pistol |title=Beretta 92F 9MM Parabellum Pistol |website=DEA Museum |access-date=2022-05-18}}</ref>]]
[[File:DCB-Shooting MAS G1S.jpg|thumb|French military PAMAS G1 version of the 92F with a decocking-only lever]]

In 1984 Beretta introduced a version of the model 92SB slightly modified to create the '''92SB-F''' (the "F" meaning "Federale", or "Federal" in Italian, added to denote entry of the model in U.S. Government federal testing) by making the following changes:
* Design of all the parts to make them 100% interchangeable to simplify maintenance for large government organizations.
* Squared off the front of the trigger guard. The squared-off trigger guard protects both the gun and the shooter during hand-to-hand combat.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UCQqQnxKsE |author=SmallArmsSolutions |title=Beretta 92A1 |website=YouTube |date=9 November 2018 |ref=at 2:35 |access-date=2021-04-08}}</ref> Some have suggested that the square guard enables the shooter to grip the front of the trigger guard with the supporting forefinger to enhance aiming; however, firearms trainer and Beretta collaborator Ernest Langdon says that using the forefinger to grip the front of the trigger guard is improper technique.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeSl_w-Wkmk |title=Proper Handgun Grip - Drills and Training |last1=Langdon |first1=Ernest |website=YouTube|date=4 December 2018 |ref=at 1:09 and 2:20 |access-date=2021-04-08}}</ref>{{Undue weight inline|date=November 2021}}
* Recurved the forward base of the grip to aid aiming.
* [[Hard chromed]] the bore to protect it from corrosion and to reduce wear.
* New surface coating on the slide called ''Bruniton'', which purportedly provides better corrosion resistance than the previous plain [[Bluing (steel)|blued]] finish.<ref name="Thompson2012"/>{{rp|16}}

[[File:Beretta 92FS left.jpg|thumb|A Beretta 92FS Inox stainless steel pistol]]

====92FS====
{{see also|Beretta M9}}

The '''92FS''' has an enlarged hammer pin that fits into a groove on the underside of the slide. The main purpose is to stop the slide from flying off the frame to the rear if it cracks, potentially injuring the user.

The "S" in "92FS" signifies either "Scivolo" (meaning "slide") or "Sicurezza" (meaning "security" or "safety") in Italian, due to the design's improved and safer slide in case of a catastrophic failure.

This was in response to reported defective slides during U.S. military testing.<ref name="LawrencePannone2015">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FcG7BgAAQBAJ&pg=PT10 |last1=Lawrence |first1=Erik |last2=Pannone |first2=Mike |title=Beretta 92FS/M9 Handbook |date=19 February 2015 |publisher=Erik Lawrence Publications |page=10 |isbn=978-1-941998-55-7}}</ref>

Beretta discovered in an investigation that the slides had passed high-pressure proof testing and magnetic particle inspection when they were made, and metallurgical analysis showed that they had indeed been made to the proper specification.

In reality, the guns were cracking and being blown apart due to improperly made ammunition, which was far more powerful than NATO specifications.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/last-line-of-defense-a-history-of-the-beretta-m9/ | title=Last Line of Defense: A History of the Beretta M9 - Marine Corps Association }}  {{irrelevant citation|date=December 2024|reason=Optional BRIEF explanation of the problem; if over 1 sentence, use talk page.}}</ref>

==== 92FS Centurion ====
The 92FS also came as a '''92FS Centurion model''' which featured the shorter barrel and slide of the 92 Compact on a full-size 92FS frame.

==Design==
{{See also|Beretta M1923|Beretta M1951|Beretta Cheetah}}
The Beretta 92 pistol evolved from earlier Beretta designs, most notably the [[Beretta M1923|M1923]] and [[Beretta M1951|M1951]].

From the M1923 comes the open [[Pistol slide|slide]] design, while the alloy [[Receiver (firearms)|frame]] and the [[Breechblock#In-line|hinged locking block]], originally from [[Walther P38]], were first used in the M1951.

The grip angle and the front sight integrated with the slide were also common to earlier Beretta pistols.

=== Operation ===
The Beretta 92's open slide design ensures smooth feeding and ejection of ammunition and allows easy clearing of obstructions.

The hard-chromed barrel bore reduces barrel wear and protects it from corrosion. The falling locking block design provides good accuracy and operability with suppressors due to the in-line travel of the barrel.

This is in contrast to the complex travel of [[John Browning|Browning]] designed barrels. The magazine release button is reversible with simple field tools. Reversing the magazine release makes left-handed operation much easier.

===Magazines===
What were perhaps the Model 92's two most important advanced design features had first appeared on its immediate predecessor, the 1974 .380 caliber [[Beretta Cheetah|Model 84]].

These improvements both involved the magazine, which featured direct feed; that is, there was no [[feed ramp]] between the magazine and the chamber (a Beretta innovation in pistols).

In addition, the magazine was a "double-stacked" design, a feature originally introduced in 1935 on the [[Browning Hi-Power]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Gangarosa |first=Gene Jr. |title=Modern Beretta Firearms |date=1994 |publisher=Stoeger Publishing |isbn=978-0-88317-174-5 |location=South Hackensack, NJ}}</ref>

To keep in line with the introduction of laws in some locations restricting magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, Beretta now manufactures magazines that hold fewer than the factory-standard 15 rounds.

These magazines have heavier crimping (deeper indentations in the side) to reduce the available space while still keeping the same external dimensions and ensuring that these magazines can be used on existing firearms.

Beretta also produces 15-round "Sand Resistant" magazines to resolve issues encountered with contractor-made magazines, and 17-round magazines included with the A1 models. Both magazines function in earlier 92 series and M9 model pistols.

Italian magazine manufacturer Mec-Gar now produces magazines in blue and nickel finishes with an 18-round capacity, which fit flush in the magazine well on the 92 series.

Mec-Gar also produces an extended 20-round blued magazine that protrudes below the frame by {{convert|3/4|in}}. These magazines provide users in unrestricted states with a larger capacity magazine.

=== Construction ===
Increasingly, it has become popular to reduce handgun weight and cost as well as increase corrosion resistance by using polymers. Starting around the year 2000, Beretta began replacing some parts with polymer and polymer coated metal.

Polymer parts include the recoil spring guide rod (which is now also fluted), magazine floor plate, magazine follower and the mainspring cap/lanyard loop. Polymer coated metal parts include the left side safety lever, trigger, and magazine release button.<ref name="Ayoob2007">{{cite book |last=Ayoob |first=Massad |title=The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery |date=28 September 2007 |publisher=Gun Digest Books |isbn=978-1-4402-1825-5 |location=Iola, Wisconsin |page=218}}</ref>

==Variants==

The Beretta 92 is available in many configurations and models:

===Original offerings===
[[File:Beretta 92 Compact L PDRM.jpg|thumb|right|Beretta 92 Compact L owned by the Royal Malaysia Police]]

==== 92D ====
The '''92D''' is a double action only variant of the 92FS with no safety/decocker lever. The "D" signifies the Italian word "Doppio", meaning "Double-action". The 92D was discontinued by 1998.
;92DS
The '''92DS''' (meaning "92D-Safety") is essentially a standard double-action/single-action Beretta 92FS with a safety/decock lever but the flat spurless hammer of the 92D.

{{anchor|92G}}
;92G
The '''92G''' is a redesigned version of the 92FS with the safety eliminated, making for a decocker-only slide.

The "G" signifies "[[National Gendarmerie|Gendarmerie National]]", the French national police force that the pistol was designed for.

While the standard 92G was discontinued in 2005, the 92G slide design is still being used on various Beretta designs, including the M9A4.

==== 92G-SD ====
{{Main|Beretta 92G-SD/96G-SD}}
[[File:Wilson beret.JPG|thumb|Beretta/Wilson 92G Brigadier Combat, a cooperative effort of Wilson Combat and Beretta. It features heavy Brigadier Slide, stainless match barrel, single function ambi-decock and a refined action.]]

==== Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier Tactical ====
The [[Wilson Combat]] 92G Brigadier Tactical has been produced since 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wilsoncombat.com/new/handgun-beretta-brigadier-tactical.asp#.VUccACw5Ds0 |title=Beretta/Wilson 92G Brigadier Tactical |website=Wilson Combat |access-date=2015-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518090908/http://wilsoncombat.com/new/handgun-beretta-brigadier-tactical.asp#.VUccACw5Ds0 |archive-date=2015-05-18 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier pistols differ from the standard Brigadier in that they have a military standard 1913 picatinny rail, all steel controls (as opposed to the polymer coated steel), decock only feature (G-model), 4.7" target crowned barrel, fluted steel guiderod, thin profile G-10 grips, rounded trigger guard, the lighter hammer spring used in the "D" model, Elite II hammer, and their own unique serial number with a "WC" prefix among other features.

==== Vertec ====
The Vertec is a variant of the 92-series with a re-contoured, straight backstrap, removable sights, 1-slot accessory rail, flared magwell, and 4.7 inch barrel.

Although the standard Vertec has been discontinued, the Vertec style backstrap design has been retained on newer, more advanced models such as the M9A3, M9A4 and 92X.

==== 90two ====
{{Main|Beretta 90two}}
The 90two is a 9mm/.40 variant of the 92-series with a redesigned, thicker slide and frame to accommodate an accessory rail, fully [[dovetail]]ed front sight and .40 S&W pressures.

Other features added include a captive recoil spring, internal recoil buffer, user changeable monogrips and 17-round magazines.<ref name="Cassell2014">{{cite book |last=Cassell |first=Jay |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EJPoBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT1228 |title=Shooter's Bible: The World's Bestselling Firearms Reference |date=7 October 2014 |publisher=Skyhorse Publishing Company, Inc. |isbn=978-1-63220-123-2 |page=1228}}</ref>

==== 92A1 ====
The 92A1 was introduced in 2010, based on elements from the 92FS and [[Beretta 90two|90two]].

It is somewhat of a civilian version of the M9A1, but it has the standard 92-series grip profile, two slots in the accessory rail and a round trigger guard.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.berettausa.com/products/model-92a1/default.aspx |title=92A1 |website=Beretta USA |access-date=2010-09-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100906064516/http://www.berettausa.com/products/model-92a1/default.aspx |archive-date=2010-09-06}}</ref>

==== 96A1 ====
The .40 S&W variant of the 92A1.

==== Centennial ====
The 92 FS Centennial limited edition (500 units) commemorates adoption by the Italian Military of Beretta's earliest semi-automatic pistol, the [[Beretta M1915|Model 1915]].

This Centennial 92 is notable for its frame-mounted manual safety and single-action-only mechanism. The Beretta medallion in each wood grip panel displays the anniversary dates in Roman numerals, which are also engraved on either side of the steel slide.

The pistol is packaged in a custom M2A1 ammunition can bearing the Centennial logo.<ref>{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=28 May 2015 |title=Beretta Announces Limited Edition 92 Centennial Pistol |url=http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/5/28/beretta-announces-limited-edition-92-centennial-pistol/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150831163254/http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/5/28/beretta-announces-limited-edition-92-centennial-pistol |archive-date=31 August 2015 |access-date=30 August 2015 |magazine=[[American Rifleman]] |publisher=National Rifle Association |quote=The original Beretta Model 1915 was adopted by the Italian forces one month after Italy entered World War I.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Shelton |first=Elwood |date=12 June 2015 |title=Beretta Celebrates Pistol Milestone with 92 Centennial |url=http://www.gundigest.com/gun-collecting-firearm-collecting/beretta-celebrates-pistol-milestone-92-centennial |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905152947/http://www.gundigest.com/gun-collecting-firearm-collecting/beretta-celebrates-pistol-milestone-92-centennial |archive-date=5 September 2015 |access-date=30 August 2015 |website=[[Gun Digest]] |publisher=[[F+W|F+W Media]]}}</ref>

==== M9A1 ====
The M9A1 was adopted by the [[United States Marine Corps|USMC]] in 2006. It adds a 1-slot [[Picatinny rail]], more aggressive front and backstrap checkering and a beveled magazine well for easier reloading of the weapon.

M9A1 pistols are sold with [[physical vapor deposition]] (PVD) coated magazines developed to better withstand the conditions in the sandy environments in [[Iraq War|Iraq]] and [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|Afghanistan]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Model M9A1 9mm |url=http://www.berettaweb.com/armi/M9A1/Beretta%20M9A1.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100312235112/http://www.berettaweb.com/armi/M9A1/Beretta%20M9A1.htm |archive-date=2010-03-12 |access-date=2010-03-06 |website=Beretta Web}}</ref>

==== M9A3 ====
The M9A3 (originally called the M9A2, but the name was changed because it was not adopted) was released in 2015 as a potential upgrade for the US military, in response to the [[XM17 Modular Handgun System competition|Modular Handgun System]] trials.

The main updates to the M9A3 were a 3-slot Picatinny rail, thinner vertical grip, removable wrap-around grips that can be swapped between Vertec-style and 'old' M9 style,<ref>{{cite web |last=Baker |first=Chris |date=January 20, 2015 |title=Beretta M9A3 – A First Look At The M9 Done Right |url=http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/beretta-m9a3-first-look/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150215030326/http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/beretta-m9a3-first-look/ |archive-date=2015-02-15 |access-date=2017-07-03 |website=Lucky Gunner}}</ref> fully removable tritium night sights and a universal slide, which makes the gun convertible from decocker-safety to decocker-only mode. The tip of the barrel is pre-threaded to facilitate addition of a suppressor.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mizokami |first1=Kyle |date=25 November 2018 |title=Meet the Gun the U.S. Army Said No To |url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/meet-gun-us-army-said-no-37097 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215223647/https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/meet-gun-us-army-said-no-37097 |archive-date=15 December 2018 |access-date=12 December 2018 |website=[[The National Interest]]}}</ref>

Additionally, the M9A3 comes with 17-round sand-resistant magazines in a beveled shape for easier reloading.

==== M9A4 ====
The M9A4 was released in 2021 as a direct upgrade for the M9A3.

The main updates to the M9A4 include red-dot optic compatible slide and dovetailed tritium night sights, enhanced short reset Xtreme Trigger System, 18-round sand-resistant magazines, and texturized Vertec-style thin grips.

==== Elite LTT - Langdon Tactical ====
The Elite LTT was introduced by Beretta in 2018, in conjunction with firearms trainer Ernest Langdon.

The LTT uses the Vertec slide with front cocking serrations on a modified M9A1 frame, and wears Langdon Tactical G10 grips.

The pistol comes equipped with G-Model decocker, dovetailed front sight, steel trigger and guide rod, improved springs, and a 4.7 inch stainless barrel with target crown, just to name a few of the more prominent features.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marshall |first=Tom |date=June 19, 2019 |title=Beretta 92FS: Breathing New Life Into an Aging Warhorse |url=https://www.recoilweb.com/two-weeks-to-retirement-beretta-92-pistol-142427.html |website=[[Recoil (magazine)|Recoil]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Featured Products |url=https://www.langdontactical.com/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821223309/https://www.langdontactical.com/ |archive-date=2018-08-21 |access-date=2018-08-21 |website=Langdon Tactical |language=en}}</ref>

==== 92X ====
The 92X was introduced in 2019 as an update to the 92-series and standardization of the Vertec platform.

Similar to the M9A3, it features a 3-slot Picatinny rail, thinner vertical grip, removable wrap-around grips that can be swapped between Vertec-style and 'old' M9 style, fully removable sights (High visibility orange dot) and a universal slide, which makes the gun convertible from decocker-safety to decocker-only mode. Unlike the M9A3, the barrel is not threaded.

The 92X series comes in compact, centurion, and full size variants.

The "X" signifies the "Xtreme-S" trigger system, which reduces trigger reset by 40%, and is adjustable for pre-travel (in single action only models), as well as overtravel.<ref>{{cite web |title=Xtreme-S |url=https://www.beretta.com/en/technology/products/xtreme-s}}</ref>

===== 92X Performance =====
The 92X Performance was introduced in 2019, alongside the 92X, as a competition pistol.

Similar to the 92X, it features a 3-slot Picatinny rail, thinner Vertec-style grip, removable wrap-around grips that can be swapped between Vertec-style and 'old' M9 style, dovetailed sights.

The 92X Performance however includes a red fiber optic front sight, adjustable rear sight, front and rear slide serrations, skeletonized hammer, competition hammer spring, steel spring recoil rod, extended beavertail, front and rear frame checkering, oversized magazine release, and match take down lever.

The Vertec frame is made of steel rather than alloy, increasing the weight to 48 ounces. The 92X Performance utilizes a frame mounted safety compared to the slide mounted safety of the standard 92X.

==== 92XI ====
The 92XI was introduced in 2023 as an update to the 92-series including a frame-mounted safety similar to the 1911 platform.

Unlike prior models, the 92XI is single-action only, with no double-action trigger pull in the Extreme-S flat-faced trigger. This hybridization is behind the XI moniker, as XI is eleven in Roman numerals, making the name ninety-two eleven.

Similar to the M9A3, it features a 3-slot Picatinny rail, the thinner vertec frame and fully removable sights (High visibility fiber optic front).  The 92XI comes in the base model as well as a Tactical model with a threaded barrel and DLC-coated trigger components, and a Squalo ("Shark") edition that brings a different color scheme and adds a Toni system magwell.

==== 92GTS ====
The 92GTS was introduced in 2024 as an update to the 92XI series, adding a double-action/single-action option to the platform through a newly designed "twin sear" and decocker-only configuration, hence the GTS name (G-series, Twin Sear).

The 92GTS has a standard model as well as a Launch Edition that comes in a two-tone finish with wood grips.

=== Full-automatic variants ===

==== 92SB ====
A small number of Beretta 92SB carbines were made for the [[Los Angeles Police Department]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/lot-475640.aspx | title=(N) VERY CLEVER FACTORY BERETTA 92SB SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHORT BARREL RIFLE. | publisher=Morphy Auction | accessdate=1 March 2025}}</ref>

They feature the same stock as the 93R machine-pistol variant, but are semi-automatic only.

The BATFE removed these [[Short-barreled rifle|short-barrel rifles]] from the purview of the [[National Firearms Act]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download | title=Curios or Relics List — January 1972 through April 2018 | publisher=BATFE | accessdate=1 March 2025}}</ref>

[[File:Beretta-M9A3-9mm.jpg|thumb|Beretta M9A3 (earth-tone finish)]]

==== 93R ====
{{main|Beretta 93R}}
The Beretta 93R is a significantly redesigned 92 to provide the option of firing in three-round bursts. It also has a longer ported barrel, heavier slide, fitting for a shoulder stock, a folding forward grip, and an extended magazine.

Unlike other Berettas in the 90 series it is single-action only, does not have a decocker, and very few are around today.<ref name="Thompson2012">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y8rHD-YYqEYC&pg=PA12 |last=Thompson |first=Leroy |author-link=Leroy Thompson |title=The Beretta M9 Pistol |year=2012 |publisher=Osprey Publishing |isbn=978-1-84908-837-4 }}{{Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>{{rp|12–13}}

The Beretta 92 was designed for sports and law enforcement use and, due to its reliability, was accepted by military users in countries all over the world.

==== PAMAS G1 ====
The French military adopted a modified version of the 92F with a decocking-only lever as the '''PAMAS G1'''.

These pistols have [[tellurium]] in the [[pistol slide|slide]], making the French made steel brittle, and as such only have a service life of approximately 6,000 rounds.

The French military fitted new Italian made steel slides to its PAMAS G1 pistols before they reached that round count.<ref>{{cite web |title=PAMAS G1 pistol |url=https://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/PAMAS_G1_pistol |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180209063000/https://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/PAMAS_G1_pistol |archive-date=2018-02-09 |access-date=2017-07-15 |website=ARRSEpedia}}</ref>

==== Yavuz 16 ====
Turkish companies [[MKEK]] and [[Girsan]] manufactured a copy of the Beretta 92F as the Yavuz 16 for the [[Turkish Armed Forces]] and [[General Directorate of Security (Turkey)|General Directorate of Security]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/tr/yavuz-16-e.html |title=Yavuz 16 |date=22 October 2010 |website=Modern Firearms |access-date=25 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222201116/http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/tr/yavuz-16-e.html |archive-date=22 December 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.girsan.com.tr/tr/regard-m-c/siyah |title=REGARD MC - Siyah |website=Girsan |language=tr |access-date=25 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150424062408/http://www.girsan.com.tr/tr/regard-m-c/siyah |archive-date=24 April 2015}}</ref> There has been speculation that these were being made under contract from Beretta.

Some of these pistols were imported into the United States by the company American Tactical Imports as the American Tactical 92 or AT-92.
