I finally got a Beretta 92G!

I walked into my LGS to get a FNX-9 that I have been wanting and saw this just sitting there.

An older, all metal (no stupid plastic), Beretta 92G (decocker only, no safety), with AlumiGrips with Beretta logo, and its a Centurion with night sights!!

A 92G has been on the bucket list for a while.

Very nice.
I had the full size 92G in the mid 90's and foolishly traded it off.
Mine always shot well.

Enjoy!
 
The 'decocker only' feature takes care of the objection to a slide mounted safety so enjoy!

Good luck.

That objection is the reason I actively sought a 92G so much. I like everything about the 92 Series except the position of the safety. With this gun its a non issue. I am quite excited that I finally found one.

I'm not a Beretta 92 expert, but even on models equipped with a dual function decocker / safety, can't you just decock the weapon and push the saftey up into to off position and carry that way?

Just curious, thanks!

Very nice gun BTW. I've never been interested in the 92 platform until just recently. I feel a mild itch at the moment :p .

Yes, you can. I carry my 92fs models that way. But I prefer to just have the decocker and not have to worry about a safety at all. This way a thumb break rig will not accidentally turn my safety on for example.
 
All shooting was done at 15 yards. The first ten mags are all Mec-Gar mags, the flush fitting 18 round AFC mags and the extended 20 round AFC mags (as you can see the extension on the 20 round mags is not that much for an extended mag).

First up is the new-to-me 92G centurion. As the locking block of a 92 is a wearable part and this is a twenty year old gun, I wanted to replace it before I dumped a huge amount of ammo down the tube. So, I reset the odometer to zero. I replaced all the springs, small pins, plunger pin, and locking block. 650 rounds without pause, including 50 of my chosen 9mm carry load, Hornady's 135 grain Critical Duty (not Defense).

I experienced no malfunctions at all. This Beretta 92 has the best trigger of all the ones I own (probably because it has been shot sooo many times) yet it displays the phenomenon of first round flyer that my other 92s don't. This is my new carry gun with an 18 round flush mag and one in the tube with two 20 round mags on my hip.


The 92G and targets:

I finally got to try the 92fs with the new Recover tactical grips and they are awesome and they hold zero with the laser perfectly.
I use this gun as my home defense handgun with a 20 round mag loaded to 20+1.

Good shooting with some fine pistols. I have only one 92 - an Inox FS with Beretta's oval-checkered walnut grips - and it is a favorite, beautiful both aesthetically and functionally. Your new pickup leaves me a little jealous. Congrats.
