Handgun Roundup: the Full-Size Beretta 92s

If imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery, certain pistols have received high-praise indeed. The Colt 1911-style pistol, for instance,

remains wildly popular more than 100 years after its birth with more than 50 manufacturers producing hundreds of different 1911-style pistols. At least 11 manufacturers have produced CZ 75-style pistols in just the past five years or so.

Beretta’s 92-style pistol belongs to this club. In recent years, at least five manufacturers have produced 92-style pistols in roughly 33 different models ranging from Beretta-produced originals to outright clones to compacts to high-end, limited-edition collector guns. Other manufacturers have built 92-style pistols in the more distant past.

This article pulls together info on the 21 full-size 92-style pistols in production within the past five years or so. This list excludes any mid-size, compact and extended-length guns; generally speaking, that means only guns measuring approximately 8.25″-8.7″ long made it in.

Each pistol’s listing is an excerpt from its main info page, which contains a full description, specs, more photos, pricing info and sometimes links to external articles and reviews. To go to that page, click on the gun’s name or photo. To see all the 92-style pistols produced by one of the companies below, visit its category page on our site.

You should be able to purchase most of the below guns new or used in United States stores. The actual retail prices and price ranges listed below reflect prices for new guns seen recently in online gun stores. Those numbers certainly aren’t absolute—you might be able to find better (or worse) deals at other online or brick-and-mortar gun shops.

I’ve organized these pistols alphabetically by manufacturer. If I’ve failed to include a model, please let me know via the Contact Us form at this link, or via the Comment form at the bottom of this article.
