are there any differences between the M9 and the 92, they look identical to me?

I was told it was just mag capacity.

The M9 has straight dustcover and a non-radiused backstrap, plus it doesn't have the warning label.

Depending on the year, the sights might be different too.

video explains the basic differences, and this link to the Beretta forum spells them out

basically on new 92FS's the dustcover is slanted, and has a warning on it, there is a radius cut into the back strap, and the sights are 3 dot.

I always tend to overlook that the sights are painted different. Mainly because it's such a small detail and nothing permanent like the other points. I don't even remember how mine came from factory anymore since I just paint all my sight with flourescent green paint anyways.

This covers it pretty well.

Just to throw a wrench in the works...

I have a 92FS with a straight dust cover and a radiused backstrap. Manufactured June of 1998.
