Thats how I do it with my P94 as well. Leave the levers alone and keep the finger off the trigger until you want to hear a bang.

Nice, It kind of looks like the baby version of the M9. Am I right?
How do you like the open slide design? No jams or stoppages right?

Hmm, I may have to start a new "I want it" fund.

I have never had a jam with it. I want the 92FS Compact as well. I just can't find one locally and I hate ordering guns online.

The Beretta is a fine pistol from what I have heard and is reliable and a good shooter. Fine looking that is certain.

Go have some milk-toast and lie down.

Hoooo, I can't stop laughing after that one.

Have you seen the Turkish made knock offs? They machine them to be just like the Beretta's. The first time I saw one, I thought it was a Beretta.

Terry,
You might look at the Taurus clones. They have variations on the old type Beretta safeties. It is on the frame and acts like a 1911 safety, allowing cocked and locked carry or locking the hammer in the down position. It moves up for safe or down for fire like the 1911. If you push it past the off position, against a spring, it acts like a decocker, blocking the firing pin and dropping the hammer, then returning to off. You can then push it up to safe if you want to block things with the hammer down. It is ambidextrous. This is my PT 100 in .40 S&W. The quality may not be up to Beretta standards but mine has never failed from the first round, though it came new with a broken firing pin. They fixed it free and it has worked perfectly with ball, JHPs from 135 grain to 180 grain and reduced practice loads using 165 grain bullets. Might be worth looking at. They come in 9mm and .40 cal with fixed or adjustable rear sights. They use the same safety on the PT 908 which is a Sig clone. This has also been 100% reliable from the first round brand new.

I second machinist's suggestion. My wife has one of the Tauri and, if you like a 9 that big, it is a terrfic gun. Feeds and shoots well with whatever we feed it and I absolutely LOVE that safety. I wouldn't trade it for a Beretta for any reason. I am not a 92 fan any way but I actually like the Taurus.

I switch around. A G27, LCR.,S&W 442 or for serious business a G30.At night I usually carry the G27. It has NS and a Laser Max.
