I recently purchased a new production 92D. It has a 92X frame but without the metal trigger and extended magazine release of the regular 92X.
I’ve put rounded back strap grips from a 92X on it because I don’t like the flat back strap of the Vertec. It has an Ameriglo front night sight and a Wilson rear sight. I’ve always been a fan of the D series. I’m wondering if this was a police contract over run? It is Tennessee marked so it probably isn’t a result of leftover parts. Anyone else seen these around or know additional details?  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I've seen those on Gunbroker for a little while. They seem to start low in the 300's and then almost always end up over 500. I've thought about them as the Beretta D trigger was one of the best DAO ones out there. No idea where they came from or how they came to be in the wild. Sorry I missed out on the Border Patrol 96D's when they were 200 each.

That would be perfect with no rail. Glad they are selling some d models

My understanding is that these guns were fully intentional on Beretta's part, due to apparently vocal demand for the D
 with the all the modern upgrades of the X.I've a Cent 92D, and I'm happy to see these guns on the market. A word to the wise, a D can be converted to SAO. |

If you want one, grab it now. These won't be regular production.

Lots of talk on some pistol-oriented forums about these, looks like some early ones may have had some canted front dovetails/sights...a bunch of people like DAO guns, especially ones with good triggers like the Beretta. Not my cup of tea but YMMV. A lot of the hardcore DAO guys who picked one of these up liked them enough to buy a second.
If you think you want one, pick it up now...lord only knows when they'll do another run (IF they do another run) |

I picked one up to do a frame safety conversion.

Well, that's interesting. It's good to see Beretta diversifying their lineup in the past couple years, after the same old stale M9A1s, 92A1s etc. I don't think we've had a factory DAO in a looooong time.

Allegheny Arms does a conversion, and why would you use Taurus components when you can use Beretta ones?

Did you check Midwest Gun Works, even Beretta's web store? They sell all that stuff.
