The FS has features designed into it to catch the slide in case you have one of those fabled "slide seperations" that happened a long time ago.
Just above the left side grip panel you'll see the part that now extends up into a recesss in the slide. Someone will come along with a far more technical description than Im offering. I sold my 92F and 92FS off a couple years ago. |

The Beretta model 92FS has a hammer pin with an over-sized head to fit into a groove machined in the slide. If the slide separated, it would not strike the user in the face. Also there is a difference with the locking block. The corners have been altered to prevent breakage, I think that I heard they were rounded but I am unsure on this one. Those are the only differences that I know of.

Good info, I wonder how many cases of "slide seperation" there have been, thats almost enough to make you flinch when shooting the thing.

AFAIK, the only seperations cases occured with the military, specifically the SEALS, who shot thousands of NATO +P rds thru them.
I always wondered if they ever changed their recoil springs? Anyway, enjoy your 92FS as they're damn good guns. |
