Its a 92G with what looks like very low miles on it. It has some road rash mainly on the starboard plastic, but nothing a grip panel can't fix. The tritium seems to have some life left, which surprised me. I looked all day until I got home and saw nothing, but once it was darker than my cupped hands, it glows. Two mags and some silly bike lock or something in a nice plane brown box, all for $389 +7% IN sales tax. This is my first Beretta, and within the first box of Federal 124gr, I decided I love them!

You did really good. I personally think the G variant is the best 92, and can't figure out why Beretta did not offer more of them. I would replace the recoil spring ASAP, and it wouldn't hurt to add a "D" spring. Well, I guess I did just get a new Midway catalog.... Thanks, I'll look in to that. The locking block looks new, as most of the internals do, any trick to making them last a freakishly long time. Is there a recoil buffer or something I should pickup too. (me = total platform newb) I had to google the G model before he had a minute to open the case for me. If I had realized they made one in this configuration, I would have been seeking it out. Lucky! |

Nah
The best things you can do to keep a 92 running is to change the recoil spring every 3K-5K rounds, and keep it lubed. I just err on the side of caution, and always add a new recoil spring to a used gun. Also, be sure to read this page for the potential problems that can occur when you don't do regular maintenance. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=15&t=101362 |

(me = total platform newb) I have thousands of rds thru my USPSA 92FS w/o any mechanical issues. I believe in changing the recoil spring much, much sooner than many people do. I normally change mine in the 3K-4K range. Cheap insurance for $10~, IMO. I also bump it up 2-3lbs over OEM rating as I know I won't be shooting light target loads. Keeps battering to a minimum if not eliminating it altogether. I have rubber grip panels on my older 92 & I have these on my Inox model for those hot, humid southern summers.
