I'm hankering for a new carry pistol, just wondering if those who carry a Beretta 92 compact are liking them? I have but not very often because I haven't found a holster I like for them yet. I did a review on mine a while back: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_15/149830_Beretta_92FS_Compact_INOX___Full_Review.html |

Quoted: I'm hankering for a new carry pistol, just wondering if those who carry a Beretta 92 compact are liking them? Size-wize, it's pretty much the same as my Glock 19. I ordered a Theis IWB holster, but never really took to it. I have a small, simple Kydex holster for my G19 that actually fits the 92c decently, so I carry it in that until I can find another, smaller dedicated holster. Love the gun though.  (It's also the only gun my wife wants to shoot now. Her EDC is a PX4sc 9mm.)  Link to the holster I bought: https://theisholsters.com/productDetails.php?pcID=1 ETA: I put a "D" spring in, a Wilson Combat Low-Profile Safety, and some WC VZ grips. It's slick.  |

Thanks for the responses. I'm a big Milt Sparks fan so I may just order up a Criterion for the 92FS and carry either in the same holster

I carry the 92a1. Compact would be better.

I have a 92 compact with a tlr1 mounted. Love the pistol and would edc but the custom holster I had made is pretty large with the light attached so it's more winter time owb carry under a coat. I want to pick up a Wilson combat leather holster soon to carry iwb without the light attached.
If you do get the compact just get the reduced power hammer spring too either the d spring or wolff 16lb, it makes the trigger in da lighter. |

I would love to get an Inox compact. BUT, I have seen several pictures of newer ones with the frames showing finish blemishes. I have a line on getting the Inox at a great price, actually about $60 cheaper than the Bruiton finished compact.
Anyone else noticing these blemishes? And what may be causing them? This would be my first Inox Beretta and I would love it to be a compact. But if I am going to have spots show up on the frame after a few months of carrying, what's the point? |

I fondled one last week at my LGS and I like it a lot. It's smaller than I thought it would be. Although I didn't have a fullsize sitting next to it to compare. It seems way smaller though. I could dig one of those.

I bought the hybrid holster that Beretta offers on their website.
I was pleasantly surprised. I have A Lot oh holsters, and this one holds its own in comfort. Can't comment yet on durability. |

A little afraid that might be the case. The leather is definitely thinner and more pliable that my MTAC's, Milt Sparks, Crossbreeds, etc. We'll see, I guess. Still a comfortable holster though, and not insanely priced, so if I get a year or two out of it, I guess I will be happy.

Any upshot to the Compact vs the Centurion? Plotting my next Beretta purchase prior to the APX coming out.

Haven't shot it yet!!
Soon, though. I have a D spring, steel trigger, skeletonized hammer, and Wilson Combat single-sided safety that I want to install, but not before shooting it in stock configuration. Will report back soon! |

I use to carry a PPK for the small size. Then went out and got the 92 compact and berretta holster. Other then a few times a carry my FNX the 92 is with me at all times. Hiding it is pretty easy even for a man that is 6 foot and only 125 pound soaking wet. In fact I love the compact so much I have three because they were hard to find around here. Then they came out with a rail and had to have that one too . The mag in the gun is a thirteen rounder but the spears are 17.

Are they making a "d" spring for the compact? I would've thought the hammer spring would be different from a full sized 92. |

The spring is the same, but the hammer spring cap is shorter on the Compact...allowing for the same spring! |

Aaah. I don't remember what that looks like. For some reason I replaced my hammer spring in my M9. I think I did it out of precaution at like 2500 rounds. But I guess that was probably overkill.
