Difference between 92F and 96D?
- Thread starter DOCSpanky
- Start date
92 = 9mm
96 = .40
FS (or F) = DA/SA with a safety that also decocks the gun when engaged
D = DAO
G = DA/SA with just a decocker that springs back into "Fire" after you decock the gun.
so you are probably looking for the 96 (they aren't normally called the 96FS, just the 96) that is unless you want the DAO model 96D.
Full-cap mags for the 96 are only 11 rounds so IMHO it's not worth spending the extra money. they are out there but much harder to find than 92FS 15rd full-cap mags.

some aftermarket mags held more than 10 rds for the Beretta 96.
Ramlines held 13 rds. I ran across some Pachmayrs that held 11 rds, and I have heard of some Mec-Gars holding 12 rds.
That's not a large increase in capacity, so it may not be worth the effort to search for those hicaps.

i've got 96 because i like the ability to put it "on safe"...bty it has the easiest slide-mounted safety, to push off, i've ever used.
don't bother with looking for 11-rounders...awhile back. i bought a buncha used factory mags, np3 coated for LE agency for $12 each...and they each only hold 10-rounds. when i bought the gun, used from a friend, one mag held 11 the other only held 10.
i carry my 96 on duty with four extra mags for a total load of 51 rounds. that should be enough

The only 96 standard cap mags I've ever seen have been for sale with the Centurion 96D pistols turned in my some police departments.
If you want a .40, Beretta and MecGar 10 rounders are available and you're only giving up one round; absolutely not worth the expense of finding an original 11 rounder.
Even 92 standard cap mags are still selling for a reasonable price.
