How much is the Beretta 92D?
The Beretta 92D averages $639.76 new and $460.93–$520.33 used, with listings typically in the $500–$749 range. This discontinued double-action-only pistol lacks a manual safety and remains available through select retailers.
What are common Beretta 92 problems?
Reported issues include jamming, failure to eject, and double-feed malfunctions. Early military testing revealed frame cracks and slide breakages linked to overpressure ammunition rather than design flaws. Most reliability problems stem from ammunition quality or inadequate maintenance. Modern production 92FS pistols are generally considered dependable.
Is the Beretta 92 still a good gun?
Yes. The 92FS remains reliable, accurate, and well-made. It holds 15 rounds of 9mm and uses a proven double/single-action design. Its main trade-off is size and weight compared to compact pistols, but it remains a solid choice for home defense or range use.
