Page 6 - Beretta 92A1 Full-Auto Reviews

Just received this a couple days ago. Took it out and was pleasantly surprised how well this pistol is made. The weight and materials are top notch. Every function works as advertised. I read some reviews about poor accuracy but the one I received is a tack driver right from the box. I shoot at 3 inch shoot n see targets at 20 ft and can put all 18 rds on it with a bunch in the bull. Not bad for a smooth bore pistol. I'm training my wife about gun safety and target shooting, this is a fantastic training aid as it functions just like the real thing, she'll be outshooting me in no time.If your a Berretta fan, get this one, you'll love it.The full auto is fun but not practical, buy lots of bb's and CO2, Your not going to want to put this thing down.

As other reviews have stated, the Mag is a real pain in the fingernail to load. A slightly larger button to compress the spring would do wonders, like on the Colt Commander Mags. The white dots on the sights could be a little bigger also, especially on the front blade. It's half the size of the rear dots.

As I,ve only had this a couple days, I will report on any problems i encounter but if first impressions mean anything, this pistol it a winner.THANKS UMAREX AND BERETTA

The overall look and feel of this gun is awesome. Real deal hogue grips fit with the tiniest mod to allow for the semi to full auto switch not getting them seems almost silly. The mod, shaving a 16th of an inch off a half in section of one side, allows for the use of rubber grips with finger grooves and ramps up the awesome factor by a power of ten easy.

Offer a nickel version.

I have three of these. On two the magazine stopped locking back after the last round within three months. The gun works perfectly but for that one flaw. I have vowed that my collection will always have two of these, one black and one I took the liberty of polishing silver.

I absolutely love the weight and feel of this gun. When ever I rack the slide it it has a nice loud hefty snap it it. The blowback gives the gun an extra kick when firing and adds to the realism of a real weapon. I really don't use the full auto all that often as I feel it's a waste of CO2 and ammo. And the fact you can empty your gun in about 2 seconds where relaod is a big pain in the butt. If you want to spend the cash required for extra mags then this clearly won't be an issue. But they're expensive.

The only issue I've had thus far is the with the magazine. The seal started leaking pretty quickly and had to be sent in for service. Good thing is Umarex didn't charge me for the new seal and all is well. One more thing which will most likely go unnoticed by most is the difficulty slapping in a mag with the slide in the firing position (closed). It seems this gun was made to have the mag slapped in with the slide back in the locked position. After the mag is slid in, the the slide is released to chamber a round.

Make sure your mag is secure before you start shooting. If it isn't it will slide out an onto the floor after your first shot possibly resulting in damage.

Just like the real thing so much fun I may buy a second one

Everything. Best replica airgun I've ever owned. Full-auto is just icing on the cake. Excellent machining, weight, feel. Operates identical to the real steel with drop out magazine, slide lock on last round, and double action. Only difference is the tiny select fire switch on the right side. If you only own one airgun, or are purchasing a gift and realism/finish/excitement are a factor- this is your gun. It's also a great gun to teach firearm safety because it operates and feel just like the real steel.

It'd be nice if they offered a few different finishes, just so I'd have an excuse to buy them all.

Get an extra mag. The mag loads from the bottom- you have to lock the magazine feeder spring (use the included hex wrench to push it down, or break your finger nails), and then bbs go in a little hole right above the feeder. Don't load from the top like I did at first- was very difficult.

Also, Umarex sells wooden grips for the 92F (they sell them here on Pyramyd). They will NOT fit this gun. which is too bad. It is such a good looking gun.

If I dug down deep to find something to like about this gun I would have to say the feel of the gun.

This gun is not only hard to load, it is impossible. The spring in the magazine will not lock in either the one that came with the gun but the one I bought separately.

Way to over priced for what you get. Would not recommend.

Firstly, I love the "wow" factor of this gun. It looks and feels every bit the Beretta it's designed after. The full metal frame, blowback, and full auto function serve to make this a great addition to any collection.

Maybe the only thing I would change is to give it rubberized grips instead of the hard plastic. The Sig Sauer 1911 did this and it's great.

The right lever of the safety is held in place by two tiny set screws. KEEP AN EYE ON THESE! I didn't and while shooting mine loosened allowing the right side of the safety to fly off, which, in turn, caused another part to fall out effectively disengaging the safety entirely! Unfortunately I didn't realize the second piece had fallen out prior to tightening the set screws and gorilla gluing them in place! OOPS. Aside from that one thing, I had no issues with the gun at all and used this incident as an excuse to purchase a brand new one ;)

Just about everything on this weapon is perfect. Weight, slide action, trigger pull, and reliability. Excellent training aid for people who are unfamiliar with autos. Just a really FUN gun.

Better information how to COMPLETELY break down the weapon for cleaning.

No

I enjoy the blow back feature and the realistic looks and feel. I like that the CO2 cartridge is part of the magazine.

I would make the CO2 piercing screw easier to thread back in. I would have the line of fire coincide with the line of sight so that the BBs hit on the target spot.

This gun is a replacement for the same model that had some problem with the slide. PA exchanged it with no problem. Both the original and the replacement shoot 4" too low and an inch to the right at 15' range. This is a huge disappointment and I wish I had not wasted my money. I would not recommend this gun to anyone. A gun that is not accurate is worthless except for a paperweight.

I love my 92A1 it is a lot of fun and made very well solid 10 1n my book

more bb capacity

Full Auto is a blast

Feels like a powder burner. Weight, size, metal frame etc

A way to get the bb to spiral better for more accuracy.

Possible offer option of rubber handles.

High powered, and true to the actual gun. Incredible replica

The barrel has a little bit of room to jiggle around making the accuracy not reliable. Not too hard to fix with some simple mods but still.

So it says 310FPS on the box. it says 330 FPS on this website. But I'm embedding these bb's into plywood at 15 feet, there's no way the the FPS is that low. Maybe I got lucky with the manufacturing of my gun but this thing packs a punch!!!

The Umarex Beretta M92A1 is a highly detailed pistol of the real Beretta M92A1. The trades are inaccurate but still look very nice on the gun. I also liked the fact that they reduced the size of the warnings on this gun. The hard blowback action of the gun is excellent, and the weight and balance of this gun is true to the real gun. A very nice feature is the full size clip that adds to the authenticity of the gun. It also field strips just like the real gun making it an overall excellent training weapon.

If I were building this gun I would have made the trades more accurate seeing as how they must have Beretta's authorization to put there trades on the gun in the first place. I would have also left the auto feature off of the gun. All it will do is wear the gun out faster and no real Beretta has this feature on it.

The shooting accuracy of this gun out of the box is horrible. It does have a wheel on the back of the barrel that can be turned that looks like a hop up wheel on an airsoft gun. It may improve the accuracy but is not mentioned in the instruction manual. So it is something I will have to experiment with. Also note that in order to turn this wheel you have to remove the barrel from the gun. The auto action is also fun to play with, but offers no real use for target shooting and burns a lot of BB's and CO2, and that's not to mention the wear factor. Also take note that the CO2 cartridge needs a bit more tightening than you would think. Listen for the hiss and tighten just enough to stop the hissing. Do not over tighten as it will ruin the seal and cause it to leak CO2. It is best done while holding the magazine in your hand and slowly tightening the screw in the bottom of the magazine. Also be careful not to cross thread the piercing screw. Start it by hand to prevent it from happening.

I like the pistol and it works like it should however the sights are way off. I can not zero in the elevation as it is four inches low at twenty feet. I called Pryamyd Air and talked to the service dept. The silly man said to file down the front sight. That is funny as you could not file off that much. He said they do not service the pistols there and that I could call Umarex. I did call Umarex and there is an adjustment under the barrel. I tried that and it got better by two inches (still low shot pattern). The nice man at Umarex said I could send it to them and they would look at it and also said they may or may not pay for shipping depending on the issue determined by them.

I will purchase directly from Umarex next time.

It is a fun Machine Pistol. Single shot accuracy is not there on the unit I got. Bummer!

I own a Beretta 92FS police special in 9mm. This air gun is an excellent clone, and a pleasure to shoot. It shoots about 4 mags to the CO2 cartridge, and is fairly accurate. The "full auto" function makes this the most fun to shoot of all my pistols.

The only trouble that I have found is that the "tab" on the bb loading tube is small and I have trouble operating it with my arthritis in my hands.

This gun is well worth the money, and is a great deal of fun to shoot. I recommend this for pleasure and as a teaching aid for beginners.

realistic look and feel semi auto fun to shoot full auto a blast to shoot very impressive when you flip the full auto switch purchased 3 two friends wanted 1 each will buy from Pyramydair again

maybe extra clips i wound like to see cheaper

you wont believe the fun you will have until you get one

A fun and realistic beretta, A friend said it looked and felt just like his real one...

Maybe not so much airgun designation writing/warning, I realize there are many laws for that, But that';s the only thing i don't likke, It's like the stupid stickers they have to put on motorcycles now, Ruining the appearance...

Watch putting a c02 cartridge in while the clip is in the gun i had it go off when i pierced the seal on the new c02

Replica is extremely close to the real Beretta 92 A1. In look, feel, weight and accuracy. The air pistol itself I give a 10 for quality workmanship and authenticity. The magazine is well constructed and I used Umerex 12g Co2 and it performed flawlessly with now gas leakage what so ever. The semi and full auto feature is quite realistic to the real deal with a strong kick. Racking the slide has a nice heavy feel to it and is not flimsy. Surprisingly I got roughly 4 full mags before needing to change Co2. I was alternating from semi / full each time. Great Product and well worth the cost.

After a few hundred rounds I see know wear or performance issues. Change nothing!

Comments were posted regarding accuracy issues and sight alignment. I am a mediocre shot and at 30' my groups were practically on top of each other.

Nice heavy realistic feel

Nothing much

It does have a long trigger pull, the magazine is slow to load. On mine I can't pull the BB pusher rod back all the way to lock position until I load it half way from the top first, oiled it but still a problem and a very small finger grip to pull it back. Sometimes the blow back will lock after only shooting three or more BB's, but re cock it and shoots fine.

Most realistic appearance, size, weight, field strip, excellent double / single action trigger, trigger pull, and nice Beretta feel. This make a great practice gun for the real thing! Ideal gun for less than 15 - 20 feet range since its low power.

The gun out of the box shoots low and to the right even at 20 feet. This is the least accurate bb gun I own but you can compensate knowing this fact. Adjustable sights would help along with an additional 100 fps to get that bb down range before it drops 4 to six inches at 30 feet. The paint is easy to scratch and can show wear after a few rounds or take downs. Extra mags are very expensive for what you get and are hard to load and get the locking screw started to hold the CO2.

Field striping the gun is a little tricky with the recoil spring and rod ready to fly off if you want to get to barrel to better turn the hop up wheel. I don't recommend kids attempt this unless they are very strong and coordinated. Also there is a sweat spot to lock it all back again. Watch some videos if you are not sure how to do this!

At 20 feet and by adjusting the hop up wheel on the barrel inside the slide, I have managed to reduce the drop to 2 inches. By compensating by aiming slightly above and to the left, I can hit dead on at 20 feet. Your hop up should not be all the way on or all the way off by the way. Both will give you shorter range and accuracy.

Buy an extra mag to let them warm back up.
