The famous Beretta pistol is perhaps famous all over the world. The pistol received such popularity for having excellent characteristics of lethal and accurate shooting, including ease of wearing and use. The Beretta company produced and produces various models of pistols, but the most famous model was the Beretta 92. It turned out to be so practical that it was adopted by various branches of the military in numerous countries around the world.

Beretta is one of the most oldest companies in the world. It has been owned for about 500 years by the same family. The company was founded in 1526, when Bartolomeo Beretta, a gunsmith from Gardone Val Trompia, received 296 ducats for 185 barrels from the Venetian arsenal. The invoice for this transaction is still kept in the archives of the company.

The history of the appearance of the pistol

Prior to 1900, Beretta was specialized in the production of sporting and hunting rifles. But in 1915, when World War I broke out, Beretta released the first pistol. This model was far from ideal, because the gun was a wartime product. The company improved its models of pistols, and in 1918 the Beretta Model 1918 appeared, which became the second submachine gun in the Italian army.

Until 1943, Beretta produced rifles and pistols for the Italian army. However, until 1945 before the surrender of Germany, Beretta produced weapons under the control of Germany, which took over the company. The external processing of weapons at this time was worse than in the middle of the war or before it, however, the models showed excellent action. In 1938, Beretta entered the list of three Italian companies that supplied rifles to Japan until 1942.

Beretta after the Second World War began to repair American M1 rifles, which were supplied from the USA to Italy. Dismantling was carried out, and the device of the rifle was studied. The company subsequently modified the M1 into the Beretta BM-59. The layout of the rifle was similar to the M14, but experts say that the BM-59 fired more accurately. The company's designers developed about a dozen more models, until in 1976 Beretta released a number of 8X series pistols at once.

The 81 and 84 pistols came first, followed by the 82 and 85 models. All of these pistols had the same dimensions and design. They differed only in caliber. Models 81 and 82 were chambered in 7.65mm Browning, while Models 84 and 85 were chambered in 9x17mm Browning. Pistols 82 and 85 had a magazine capacity of 8 rounds and a single-row device, 81 and 84 - a double-row magazine device with 12 and 13 rounds, respectively.

In 1986, the Beretta model 86 pistol was created, which became a hybrid of the 85 pistol, as well as the earlier model 950. The M86 pistol had a modified bolt and frame design, and also had a fold-up barrel. Such a pistol scheme was convenient for those who had weak hands to pull the bolt (mostly women). It was also easier to disassemble and clean.

In 1972, under the leadership of Carlo Beretta, a family was created self-loading pistols Beretta 92. The Beretta 92F pistol, which has a caliber of 9 mm, in 1985, according to the results of the competition, replaced the Colt M1911 and became the standard pistol of the US Army with the designation M9. According to the contract, the M9 is produced both in the USA and in Italy. Until 1995, the United States purchased 1,020,257 M9 pistols for all branches of the military. Combat M9 could be equipped with a flame arrester and silencer. In 2015, the sale of the military version of the M9A3, a modified version of the M9, will begin. The combat M9A3 will be distinguished by greater reliability, convenience and improved technical characteristics. In total, a huge number of modifications of the Beretta 92 pistols were released.

The Beretta Mo.1915 pistol had the following specifications:

  • Type - automatic pistol, working on the return of the free shutter.
  • Caliber - 7.65 auto.
  • The total length is 149 mm.
  • Barrel length - 85 mm.

The performance characteristics of the Beretta 92

The Beretta 92 pistol had the following specifications:

  • Country: Italy.
  • Year: 1975.
  • Caliber - 9 mm.
  • The total length is 217 mm.
  • The barrel length is 125 mm.
  • Weight - 980 g.
  • Magazine capacity is 15 rounds.
  • The automatic mode of operation is provided by a short stroke of the barrel.
  • The effective range of the shot is 25 m.

Design features of the pistol Beretta 92

  1. The scheme of operation of the Beretta 92 automation is made due to the recoil of the short stroke of the barrel. A complete disassembly of the gun will include 65 parts. Under the barrel is a return spring. The locking of the barrel is carried out when it is longitudinally rolled back by coupling with the shutter by a special larva, swinging on an axis, it is placed between its tides from the bottom of the barrel.
  2. The combat firing scheme looks like this. When fired, the bolt with the barrel moves back a couple of millimeters. The longitudinal spring-loaded rod bumps into the frame in the rear tide of the trunk. The swinging larva ceases to interact with the protrusion of the frame; under the influence of the rod, it turns and lowers back. The barrel, after the interaction of the frame and the larva with the rod, disengages from the bolt, stopping by the frame. The shutter ejects the sleeve, continuing to move, compresses the return spring, cocking the hammer, and then compresses the mainspring. The shutter, under the pressure of a compressed return spring, moving forward, reloads the cartridge into the chamber, pushing the barrel. The spring-loaded rod returns back and releases the larva. The protrusion of the frame, as well as the end of the spring resting on it, the larva rises. Lateral protrusions of the larvae step into the vertical slots of the shutter. The larva is again linked to the shutter. The gun is ready for the next shot.
  3. The device of the trigger mechanism acquired a finished look only in the Beretta 92SB. USM had an open location of the trigger and was double action. The drummer is spring-loaded, held in position away from the primer, from the stroke of the trigger to the final phase of the movement of the trigger, it is closed by a jumper.

Pistol modifications

Over 150 produced based on the Beretta 92 various options, including informal ones. The weapon is produced in huge number modifications that differ in size, design of the fuse and trigger mechanism, including surface treatment, and various types of materials, with a silencer and the installation of various devices.

  • Beretta 92S - the first modification of the 92 model. A fuse appeared on the gate, which plays the role of a safe trigger release.
  • Beretta 92SB - a half-cock of the trigger and automatic blocking of the firing pin appeared.
  • Beretta 92SB-C is a compact version of the 92SB.
  • Beretta 92F - the development of the 92SB model, created as part of the American competition for the creation of the XM9.
  • Beretta 96 - modification of 92F for the American police market chambered for .40SW. Magazine capacity is 11 rounds. Widely used by the US Police, as well as the US Border Guard, has been successful in the civilian market.
  • Beretta 92 Vertec is a modification that is focused on the US police market.

In May 1915, Italy enters the First world war. In the first months, there is a need for reliable means of close combat - pistols. Gun Glisenti M 1910 similar to german parabellum this need was not met. Then Pietro Beretta enters the stage with its own view on the design of the pistol.

This is the look of the 9 mm caliber model M1915, which quickly replaced all analogues and won a place in the holster of the Italian army. The accuracy and reliability of the new weapon, which went down in history at the right time, ensured the future of Beretta pistols for a long time.

Thus began the history of the family of Italian self-loading pistols, which has been going on for more than a hundred years.

One hundred years of history

1915–1951

Model M1915 was chambered for 9x19 mm Glisenti. Two years later, a lighter M1917 appeared in a weaker caliber, chambered in 7.65x17 mm Browning.
In 1923, the 9x19mm Glisenti became the main cartridge. In the same year, Pietro Beretta releases a new prototype - Beretta M1923 for this cartridge.

This model was in service until 1935, and in secondary roles until 1945.

It was distinguished by low reliability and lower destructive power compared to pistols under 9x19 Parabellum. Production ceased in 1925.

The Beretta M1934 replaced its outdated predecessors in 1935. Produced under cartridges 9 mm (Corto) and 7.65 mm. The 7.65 model lasted in production from 1935 until 1991.

In fact, production ended in 1980, but in 91 a collection batch of these weapons was released. It entered service with the Third Reich under the name Pistole 671. It was used by officers from Romania and Finland during World War II.

1951–1980

The M1934/1935 is being replaced by the Beretta M1951 with the Parabellum 9 mm caliber, the development of which began in the 40s.


The need to standardize NATO weapons and the ability to use submachine gun cartridges led to the creation of the pistol. Production from 1953 to 1980.

Thanks to big mass(870 grams without a magazine) the weapon quickly returned to the aiming line after recoil. Convenient to use.

For the first time, the weapon shows Italian design, compared to the boring and unremarkable previous samples.

In the mid-70s, Italian craftsmen took all the best from the family of previous pistols and created a new weapon - the Beretta 92.

For the first time, the index 92 does not indicate the year of production: 92 is 9 mm, the 2nd model. Apparently, the first model was developed, which did not suit its creators.

Produced from the 75th to the 80th year. The modification came off the assembly line in the amount of 5 thousand pieces, used the same 9 mm parabellums.


In Brazil, a factory was built for the manufacture of this model, which was later sold to Taurus.

After that, the release of weapons began under the name PT 92. In turn, the Beretta 92 and PT 92 models had much in common externally, but were structurally different.

Taurus also released a wide range of PT pistols.

1980–today

In the late 70s, the Beretta 92S completely replaced the original 92nd version. This pistol lived up to the wishes of the Italian police for service equipment.

From 1978 to 1984, Pietro Beretta took part in an American tender for a company that would supply new pistols to the US Army.

In addition to the Italian manufacturer, Americans, Germans, Spaniards, Belgians and Swiss participated.

Pistols took the lead: Beretta 92F and Swiss Sig Sauer P226. Beretta won this competition, surpassing the competitor in the purchase price.

And according to an unofficial version, for political reasons between Italy and the United States, perhaps for granting the right to place bases and missile defense systems on their territory.

One way or another, the company received the first contract for 500,000 weapons under the M9 brand (Beretta 92F). The production of weapons began at its own branch in the United States, the state of Maryland.

From the 80s to this day, the manufacturer produces the widest range of pistols of the 92nd line.

TTX of the first and last modifications of the 92nd Beretta.

  • Empty weight 980 grams;
  • Overall length 217 mm, barrel 125 mm;
  • Caliber 9x19 mm Parabellum;
  • Shop for 15 rounds;
  • Empty weight 920 grams;
  • Overall length 216 mm, barrel 125 mm;
  • Caliber 9 mm Parabellum, .40 SW;
  • Shop for 10, 12, 15, 17 or 20 rounds;
  • The effective firing range is 25 meters.

Design features of the Beretta 92

The safety lever is double-sided, located on the shutter cover. Activate with your thumbs by turning the flag down.


The included fuse does not block the shutter, which allows you to safely reload the weapon. When the fuse is turned on, the trigger is disconnected from the trigger rod - that is, it becomes not cocked.

You can not cock the hammer before firing, but you need to apply more force on the trigger than when cocked. This is called self-plating.

Between the cartridge primer and the striker there is a jumper, which excludes a shot until the last phase of the trigger movement. Immediately before the shot, this jumper rises.

After the clip is used up, the shutter casing is retracted and fixed in this position. When equipped with a full magazine, the shutter automatically sends the cartridge into the chamber.

Modifications based on the Beretta 92



In addition to these samples, there is the Beretta 98 ​​line (7.65x21 mm Parabellum) and its variants chambered for 9x21 mm IMI. This line is for countries, mainly European, where military calibers for civilian use are prohibited.

pros cons

Advantages:

  • Large balanced weight from 870 to 950 grams (up to 1000) leads to a quick return to the line of sight;
  • The increased distance between the front sight and the sight makes it easier to aim;
  • The fuse box is located on both sides;
  • “Licked” structural elements do not cling when pulled out.

Flaws:

  • Immodest dimensions make it difficult to carry concealed;
  • Firing high power rounds reduces durability;
  • The voluminous handle is inconvenient for a person with a small palm and fingers.


Since the peculiarity of the pistol is an open bolt with a view of the barrel, the following disadvantages arise here:

  • The possibility of getting burned by a hot barrel;
  • Increased contamination of the internal parts of the gun.

Today, Pietro Beretta is called Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta Gardone and is not going to give way to the arms market, including pistols. Recently released extremely compact pistol For concealed carry BU-9 Nano.

The latest development that has already appeared on the market is the Beretta APX multi-caliber pistol. The history of Beretta will definitely not end there, let's wait and see.

The history of the Beretta pistol (Beretta)

The production of the original Beretta pistols is carried out by the Italian company of the same name.

Initially, the company was engaged in the manufacture of hunting and sporting rifles. However, after several decades, namely in 1915, it was decided to make the first firearm.

Beretta products are used not only by police and military, but also by civilians.

Recommendations for the use of air pistols Beretta (Beretta)

Using Beretta air pistols is no different from models from other brands. And just like other weapons, Beretta pistols require proper care.

The main attention is required by the gun barrel, which takes on the main load when making a shot. After that, particles from shells remain inside the barrel, which will soon negatively affect the accuracy of fire.

The procedure itself takes 10-15 minutes, but will keep the elements of the weapon intact for many years.

Shooting is carried out using the energy of CO2 gas and steel BB balls with a caliber of 4.5 millimeters. A special magazine is provided for loading them (the amount of ammunition depends on the model).

Beretta pistols are a legendary brand known throughout the world for their power and reliability. The brand was developed in Italy, and is famous for a couple of very famous models, such as the Beretta M 84 compact pistol and the Beretta 92, the world-famous high-capacity clip and automatic firing mode.

Beretta 92 is the base model.

Beretta 92SB-C is a compact model.

Beretta 92FS Brigadier - with a reinforced slide.

Beretta 92FS Elite - with a reinforced slide and a slightly shortened barrel.

Beretta 92FS-C is a compact model.

The Beretta 90two is a variant of the Beretta 92 pistol with redesigned slide contours and a modular grip pad.

Beretta M9A1 - a variant proposed for the US Army but rejected by it

Beretta M9A3 is another variant developed for the US Army, but also not yet successful.

Beretta 92FS - incomplete disassembly.

Characteristics

Caliber: 9x19mm (also .40SW in model 96 and 9x21mm in model 98)
USM: double acting
total length: 217 mm (197 mm for compact models)
barrel length: 125 mm (109 mm for compact models)
Weight: 950-1000 g empty (depending on model)
Magazine capacity: 15 rounds (models 92 and 98); 13 rounds (92 compact); 11 rounds (model 96 caliber.40); 8 rounds (92 compact type M)

The development of a new military pistol to replace the Beretta M951 was started at Beretta in 1970. The team of designers, led by Carlo Beretta (Carlo Beretta), and included Giuseppe Mazetti (Juzeppe Mazetti) and Vittorio Valle (Vittorio Valle) at the first stage developed two prototypes in parallel. Both pistols were supposed to have a self-cocking trigger and an aluminum alloy frame. The first prototype had a Browning High Power lock, the second a Walther P38. It was from these prototypes that the index "92" appeared in the designation serial pistols. It stood for "9mm pistol, 2nd model". Obviously, the "9mm pistol, 1st model" (with Browning locking) did not satisfy the designers, and they focused specifically on the "92" model.
The first prototypes of the pistol appeared in 1975, and in 1976 it began mass production. In the same year, a version of the Beretta 92S pistol appeared, which had a safety lever located on the bolt, which, when turned on, also performed a safe release of the trigger from the cocking. This model owes its appearance to the Italian police (Policia di Stato), who showed interest in the new pistol, but wished to have an option with a safe trigger mechanism (Beretta 92 pistols had a fuse on the frame that locked the bolt and whispered both when cocked and when the trigger was released ). Pistols Beretta 92S quite quickly forced the first model out of production, and were widely used by the Italian army, police, and were also exported. In the period from 1978 to 1984, Beretta took part in the American competition for the new 9mm XM9 army pistol. For this competition, several variants of the Beretta 92 pistol were consistently developed - Beretta 92S-1, Beretta 92SB, Beretta 92SB-F. It was the Beretta 92SB-F pistol, renamed the Beretta 92F in the series, that was declared the winner of the XM9 competition in 1985. Currently, Beretta produces a fairly wide range of models based on the Beretta 92F pistol, both at a factory in Italy and at a subsidiary in the United States.

All Beretta 92 series service pistols have an aluminum alloy frame and a steel slide. In 2004, for the civilian market (primarily for athletes), a variant of the Beretta 92 Steel was also released, which has an all-steel construction and a frame safety (similar to the first Beretta 92 pistols). Automation is built according to a scheme using recoil energy with a short stroke of the barrel and locking according to the Walter P38 type - a larva swinging in a vertical plane. The pistol bolt is open from above, which is why it has a significant width to create the necessary margin of safety. The ejector, openly fixed on the right side of the bolt, additionally serves as an indicator of the presence of a cartridge in the chamber. The fuse on pistols produced in 1975-76 was located on the left side of the frame, the magazine release button was located at the bottom of the handle, on the left cheek. On the left side of the frame is also the shutter release lever.
Overall, the Beretta 92 series pistols eventually earned a reputation for being fairly reliable, albeit somewhat unwieldy, weapons. Some criticism is caused by an excessively thick handle, convenient only for shooters with enough large palms, and the gun itself is quite large in size. It is interesting that in the period 1986 - 1989 in the US Armed Forces, cases of destruction of the shutter with a separation of its rear part, leading to injuries to the shooters, took place not only in the USA, but also in France (about 10 years later). After the introduction of the Beretta 92FS modification for the US military, the Beretta 92F series pistols were sold for a long time on the civilian and police market without modifications that prevented the bolt from being torn off in the event of its destruction. Despite this, the new reinforced bolt with a completely closed upper part, developed by Phrobis by order of the US Navy, did not go into mass production, and over time, the Beretta 92FS pistols completely replaced the previous model from production. During the military operations of the US Armed Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2002 - 2004, problems with the reliability of the M9 pistols (Beretta 92FS of the American release) also became more frequent, mainly due to the weakening of the magazine feed springs due to the long wearing of fully loaded magazines.

Below is a list of the main modifications of the Model 92 in the order of their appearance, as well as differences from the base model. Model year is given in parentheses.
Beretta 92S(1976) - The first modification of the base model 92. Instead of a fuse on the frame, a fuse appeared on the bolt, which also acts as a safe release lever (when the fuse is turned on, the drummer is blocked, the hammer is released from the cocking and the trigger is locked). In all other respects it does not differ from the base model. Currently no longer in production.
Beretta 92SB(1981) - development of the 92S, originally designated 92S-1. The fuse / lever for safe trigger release has become two-way, an automatic blocking of the drummer and a half-cock of the trigger have appeared. The magazine latch was moved to the base of the trigger guard. Release discontinued in 1991.
Beretta 92SB-C(1981) - A compact version of the Model 92SB, with a shorter barrel, bolt and grip. The overall length decreased to 197 mm, the barrel to 103 mm, the magazine capacity became 13 rounds, but the possibility of using standard magazines for 15 rounds remained.
Beretta 92SB-C type M(1983) - A variant of the Model 92SB-C, featuring a single-row 8-round magazine and, accordingly, a flatter grip and lighter weight. Release discontinued.
Beretta 92F(1984) - originally designated 92SB-F. Developed in the framework of the American XM9 competition as a further development of the 92SB model, it is distinguished by a slightly modified handle shape, plastic handle cheeks and coated metal parts. The bore and chamber are chrome-plated. Modern pistols this model does not differ externally from the 92FS model.
Beretta 92G(1987) - The "Gendarmerie" variant was commissioned and adopted by the Gendarmerie Nationale de France in 1989. Produced in France under license at GIAT Industries factories under the designation PA MAS G1. It differs from the 92FS model in that only the safety trigger function is left on the bolt lever, and the trigger is not blocked (the pistol is always ready to fire).
Beretta 92FS(1989) - a modification of the Beretta 92F pistol, which has an enlarged trigger axis head that prevents the rear of the bolt from being torn off the rails when it is destroyed. Created on the basis of the sad experience of the US military. In the US Armed Forces, it is in service under the M9 index; it differs from commercial pistols in marking and external decoration.
Beretta 92FS-C(1989) - A compact version of the Model 92FS, with a shortened barrel, bolt and grip. Magazine 13 rounds, dimensions as model 92SB-C.
Beretta 92FS-C type M(1989) - Version of the Model 92FS-C with a single-row magazine for 8 rounds.
Beretta 92DS(1990) - Model is similar to Model 92FS except that the trigger of this pistol is self-cocking only (Double Action Only). The fuse in the on state blocks the trigger and the firing pin.
Beretta 92D(1990) - Similar to the 92DS but without a fuse. The trigger does not have a spoke.
Beretta 96(1992) - modification of the 92F model chambered for .40SW for the American police market. Magazine capacity - 11 rounds. Modifications of the model 96 are similar to the corresponding modifications of the model 92 (D, Brigadier, Elite, etc.). Widely used by the US police, is in service with the US Border Guard (US Border Guard), is a success in the civilian market.
Beretta 92FS / 96 Brigadier(1996) - modification of the 92FS model with a reinforced and weighted shutter. It was originally implemented as a modification of the Model 96 (chambered for .40SW) by order of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), later transferred to the Model 92. Another difference is that the front sight is removable.
Beretta 92FS Centurion(1996) - Model 92FS with a shortened barrel and bolt with the same frame. Overall length 197 mm, barrel 103 mm, magazine 15 rounds.
Beretta 92 Vertec(2003) - A modification primarily aimed at the US police weapons market. The main difference of this modification is the modified shape of the handle with a straight back, which makes it more convenient to handle the weapon for shooters with medium and small hands. Another improvement is integral rails for attaching a laser pointer or flashlight to a frame under the barrel.
Beretta 90two(2006) - the most new version in the line of modifications 92 models. It differs primarily in the modified design of the handle with unitary modular overlays made of plastic and having a U-shaped profile when viewed from above (covering the handle from the sides and behind.
