Beretta 92FS Nickel & Black Grips Reviews

It's heavy. Great platform for pushing rounds downrange. Nice trigger pull when in SA, DA is actually good for an air pistol (still not saying much). I consistently get nice patterns when using 7-10gr JSBs. So far it has loved everything I put through it.

The CO2 mechanism is horrible, I hate the umarex screw bottoms, you have to get it really tight and you can't get a good grip on the thing. I created a blister on my thumb the size of a dime trying to tighten it up and get it to seat. Maybe my unit needs some adjustment because the CP88 Competition that has the same model CO2 mechanism doesn't seem to have this problem when seating the cartridge.

It is expensive but the finish and materials are high quality. Chrono Numbers: JSB KO Slugs (13.43gr) 1st shot: 331 FPS (3.27Ft/lbs) avg: 277 FPS (3.27, 2.88, 2.51, 2.16, 2.03, 1.82, 1.59) one dup Crosman Premiere (7.4gr) (2nd mag on charge) 1st shot: 397 (2.59 ft/lbs) avg: 384 FPS (2.59, 2.52, 2.51, 2.41, 2.35, 2.32, 2.25) I was shooting these rounds at a rapid pace and not giving the charge much time to warm up between shots.

Build quality seems excellent. In hindsight, I wish I would have purchased the version with the wood grips. I thought any aftermarket Beretta 92FS grips would fit (they do not). The price and availability of air pistol ammo is a huge plus. Accuracy seems great to me, but this is my first air pistol.

The weight is significantly heavier than the military issue 92FS.

This is my first air pistol. This was my first time ordering from Pyramyd Air. Service and prices were excellent, and I received my order the very next day (however, I do live only 25 miles from their location). I highly recommend Pyramyd Air.

As I opened the box and removed the gun from the plastic bag I was very impressed. The weight of it said that this is a quality gun and after I immediately shot five mags through it I knew this was a great purchase. Accuracy was better than expected and co2 usage was better than most if my guns. I wish it came in a clear display case that could be put on the fireplace.

The only tiny little problem and its picky, is the release button on the grip. When pressed in hand it pops open the grip on the opposite side to access the co2, in other words against or into the hand so it requires an unusual grip to exchange co2. I told you it was picky but that is all I could find.

Buy extra rotary mags long before ordering so they arrive before the gun and load them, because you will want to shoot at your target right away and not put the gun down.

Nice looking gun, very accurate at long distances. CO2 last much longer than blow back guns. Makes a nice pop when it is shot.

The Trigger., The Trigger, The Trigger. The DA trigger pull is quite heavy between 10 and 11 pounds. Should be no more than 8. The mechanism that moves the rotary magazine is not smooth. I rate this gun as having a poor trigger. Add a white or orange dot to the front sight!!!! Easy to drop a magazine out onto the ground/floor. You need to train yourself on loading and unloading.

This gun is heavier than a Beretta 92FS. I own a 92FS and it weighs 39.5 ounces with the magazine loaded. This Umarex model weighs 45.7 ounces with magazine and CO2 cartridge. The Umarex M9A1 BB gun weighs 40 ounces. The weight of the BB gun is a better weight. You do not need the weight on a gun with no recoil. It is nearly as heavy as a Beretta 92x Performance. The gun is a bit sensitive to pellets. The Hobby RWS 7.0 gram pellets did not seat well and left a bit of overhangs causing issues with the rotary function and making the trigger horrible. Diablo Basic 7.0 grain worked fine. I believe better machined rotary magazine would make the trigger smoother. It probably would need to be more polished to reduce friction. Reduce the trigger weight to around 8# I almost sent it back over the trigger but the BB guns are not as accurate so I kept both. I will be working on this gun to try and make it smoother and I will add a dot to the front sight.

This air pistol came with a very nice finish and though the grips are black plastic, they are distinctive.

A better gripping surface at the muzzle end of the slide would facilitate opening the chamber.

I consider this a beautiful addition to my collectiono air pistols.

This pistol is great very acurate weight is solid heavier than my cp99 it is a lot of fun to shoot I have 16 mags so when I reload it takes a little bit but well worth it. P.A.is awesome to work with the reps. Are very helpful and knowledgeable. I ordered this pistol on Monday and got it on Friday can't beat that. Ed

Nada

It's solid smooth and fast.The weight and balance seem the same as the powder burner with a full mag. Co2 loading is the best system yet. The rotary magazines take a bit of practice to change quickly,but once I got the knack they are slick and Quick. Hits very hard at considerable range GOOD GUN !

3 Dot sights would be a cool improvement especially for moving targets.

I have been shooting open top colt pistols for decades, and decided to learn to shoot a modern double action auto. I'm getting real good real fast. this one is an excellent skill builder. The trigger pull seemed coarse right out of the box, but smoothed right out after about 300 rounds. Extra lubrication is essential (magazine advance & trigger group) I used pell oil, it made a real improvement. Always use short skirted pellets.Mine likes10.5 gr crosman piranha's and they are cheap !

this is a very awesome piece and I strongly recommend it. I love it. heavy, yes it is. powerful, yes it is. metal magazine easy to fill up and load it in. this thing takes out glass bottles at 20 feet without even aiming. this is the best of the best it's beautiful and could probably drop a wild boar

not much bad to say I wish it had a de-cock safety. now if you want to lower the hammer you are going to need to put on the safety and pull the trigger. or you can eject the mag and pull the trigger. the safety is not posi, which I prefer but I mean everything's tight and this is by far my favorite. I'll note that the safety is ambidextrous and pulls easy. the mag is so easy. this is just beyond any expectation

I've never owned a better air pistol. this is so much better than anything out there

Looks like the real thing. The trigger feels like the real thing in double-action mode. Good training device. More accurate than I expected. Fun to shoot. Hefty and solid. There's not much plastic on this gun.

Provide a fully-adjustable rear sight. Do a better job of lubricating the innards. Implement a better slide stop mechanism. It isn't that big a deal, but the front sight is slightly loose.

Initially, when loading a cylinder / magazine of pellets into the gun, failure to perfectly align the cylinder would cause inability or difficulty pulling the trigger. Turns out the manufacturer didn't do a good job of lubricating the internals, including the components responsible for indexing the cylinder. The problem went away when I properly lubricated the innards. Lubing and polishing really smoothed this gun out. It feels so much better now. (Medium difficulty. Lots of springs and small parts that can and will go flying. Lots of moving pieces.) Shoots high relative to point of aim. This gun doesn't exactly duplicate the function of a real 92FS. The biggest differences are: 1. The safety is not a decocker. 2. On the real gun, the first shot is double-action, and every subsequent shot is single-action. On this pellet gun, every shot is double-action unless you manually pull the hammer back for each shot.

I like this product because it has a very real feel to it. I think it's a good choice because it's relatively simple to have nothing toooooo complicated.

I would change the way the CO2 is loading system

Personally I don't like the CO2 loading system because when I got the gun, I loaded CO2 to shoot. I may have shot 40-50 shots then put the gun away for the next day and when I went to shoot I noticed the pellets weren't traveling as far. So I took out the CO2 and the little bit of gas that was left in the cartridge was released and then I pitched it. Then I tried to load in a new cartridge which didn't work well at all. After I finally got the cartdrige in (or so I thought) I pulled the trigger to see if the cartridge was loaded in to see if CO2 would shoot out of the gun. It did, so then I pull the trigger again and it makes a click noise as if there's no CO2 so I continue to push the trigger multiple times because of a CO2 discharge half the time and a click half the time when the trigger BREAKS. !!! I then sent it back to the company and they sent me a replacement within a 3 week time period.

All Metal good training gun

Price

Solid built. Like the look and accuracy

Nothing

Very good air pistol, no complaints!

Likes. . . .heft & weight, metal construction, feels & looks like the firearm it models, non leak co2 load system, very accurate and hard hitting (especially the first couple magazines), accurate thereafter with slightly less power. a good 8 magazines of decent power, changeable grips

Engineer to prevent rotary mag from flying out when opening slide lever. . . .everything else is on target.

The 92fs is easily in my top 3 pellet handguns in appearance all around performance and handling. Others are Walthers CP88 4" & 6" barrel, Research Desert Eagle. If you want the wood grip version, it is less expensive to buy already installed vs aftermarket.

I have had this gun for a few years now and am quite pleased with it. Never had any problems with it. Bought the exteme model as well. At one time there was a muzzle compenator available but it is no longer available. I wish they would bring it back. I have put the wooden grips on both. Crosman wadcutters work very well and there is no need to buy expensive pellets.

Would like to see a rear sight adjustable for elevation.

It is best not to let the slide fly forward and slam to the end when opening it as it will cause wear. Support it with your hand and let it open slowly.

very solid pistol,seems very well built,looks and feels like the real gun.shoots straight at 25 feet, I have not tried it at further distant,1 co2 will give you about 65-75 good shots

rear sight adjustment could use some improvement

I am impressed with this gun,i hope it holds up over time to justify the price.

This Beretta M 92FS CO2 pellet pistol is AWESOME! I love this gun. The all metal construction (except for grip covers), the look, the feel of it in my hand are fantastic. Everything works great. The accuracy is very good! Shooting single action at 2 inch shot spots from 15 feet away, out of 105 shots 99 shots were on target with groupings of 8 shots showing spreads of 3/4 inch up to 1 3/4 inches. The remaining 6 shots were fliers due to my hands shaking a little. This gun also has very good CO2 efficiency. With one Umarex Walther 12 g CO2 I got 144 shots, 136 with good power and a final 8 slightly weaker. Even though the double action trigger is longer with more resistance, this gun still shoots well in double action. Most of my double action shots were hitting in the center 2 inches of the target.

I would put white dots on the sights to improve sighting on dark targets. I would also like to have a blowback version of this gun that uses the same pellet magazine that is used in the Beretta PX4 Storm. Much as I like the high shot count with this 92FS, I would gladly give up some shots for the added realism of the blowback recoil.

All of my accuracy tests were performed freestanding at a distance of 15 feet to target in my basement shooting single action. I shot a variety of pellets 8 shots each to test accuracy and the capabilities of the gun and magazines with multiple types and brands of pellets. The pellets I used successfully were (wadcutters): Crosman Premier Super Match, RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle, RWS Meisterkugeln Pistol, JSB Match Diabolo Light Weight, H&N Match Pistol, and H&N Sport; (domed): Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum, RWS Superdome, H&N Field Target Trophy, and JSB Exact Diabolo; and (pointed): Crosman Premier Super Point, RWS Superpoint, and H&N Spitzkugel. All of these pellets fit well in the magazines, and none of them has fallen out of the magazine or caused any jams. Overall, this Beretta M 92FS is an excellent gun for target shooting and well worth the higher price.

I have been a firearms owner/collector for 50+ years and own a real Beretta 92 SS that I prefer over most handguns. This CO2 clone is the real deal. It is all metal, except for the grips, feels like a real 92, shoots very well, and is excellent for handgun technique's shooting practice. It shoots about 8 mags B4 I change CO2 carts an it still has good accuracy at 10 yards. Thats 64 shots. Magazine changing is sweet and easy.

Should have ordered the wood grips, a good savings over ordering them later.

This piece is just too much fun. However, Sights are a bit tough to use on black background targets, like Shoot-N-See. They are all black and hard to differentiate from the target area. I modified my front sight by using a jeweler's rat tail file (round), filed out a notch in the top of the sight and super glued a fiber optic cylindrical sight element from a Ruger 22cal competition pistol to the top of the gun's original sight. Now I have an illuminated (by natural light) front sight that contrasts nicely from the rear black notched sight and has made free hand shooting much more accurate. I just place the lime green bright dot on the bullseye, split it in half with the rear sight, and fill quarter sized circles with 8-16 shots.

I carry and fire a beretta regularly. I purchased this weapon so I could practice quick draw exerecises at my home. Out of the box it was a very nice looking weapon. It feels very solid and the finish looks nice. The weight and feel is very close to the real thing. I got mine in the nickle finish and it does not look or feel like a toy "bb gun" at all. The case it was shipped in is crappy, however since I wasn't expecting a case at all it's just fine. OK, to the points. 1. Looks and feel- Beautiful weapon I'm actually proud to show people. They are allways suprised it is just a pellet gun. Without a side by side comparison I would say it is identical to the real one. Just by the feel, I think it is a little bit "thicker", but very close. The weight is excelent. 2. Mechanical- Excellent fit and finish;. Slide mechanism for loading fresh clips moves smoothly and feels solid. Gas does not leek. Have left loaded for 2 weeks in my shop and when I returned it was like i just loaded it. 3. Accuracy - Stupid accurate for a gas pistol. I dont normally shoot like this however, I can easily hit the butt end of a beer can with a single arm from 50 ft. Very consistant. It has 0 kick which almost takes the fun out of it because anything within 100 ft is easy game. Recommend A/A domed pellets included in package deal. For a CO2 pistol it is very powerful and consistant. Easily punches thru can bottoms. A little pricey but I am very happy with quality and will keep for many years.

Will somebody please make a pistol with an identcal magazine load mechanism so people can practice mag change drills!!! Also, dont marr up the beautiful slide with your company logo or stupid safety warnings. We get it, not a toy dont shoot your buddy. OK!!!

I have heard it does not fit in a standard M-9 holster. Dont know, however I do have a SAFARILAND drop leg holster for a sig sauer fitted with a surefire that it fits in perfectly.

Beautiful pistol, accurate to ten meters. Use it to make soda cans dance around the yard and some ten meter target shooting. Good feel in the hand.

Weight seems to be a bit heavy. Price seems a bit high.

Buy extra magazines, I find that it will shoot eight magazines with good power and accuracy. The gun comes with two magazines

This is the real deal. You can not tell it from the kind the police or military carry. I really like the nickel finish. The gun has a lot of heft to it, more so than the Walther CP88. It is accurate and has lot of power. It's great value for the money.......you will not be disappointed with this gun.

Not a thing.

It costs me $20 when I go to the range to shoot a .22 a .38 and a 45 cal. With the costs of the ammo for the higher calibers, it makes this pellet pistol an absolute bargain and to me it's just as much fun to shoot.
