There are plenty of people having success in USPSA and IDPA pistol competition with modified Beretta 92s and we are seeing more and more interest in target or custom 92s here in the USA. The Wilson Combat Beretta 92 seems pretty popular in it's niche and sells well.

I think what you have to remember is that this is a service pistol, like a Glock or CZ 75, so usually if you aim to use it in competition it will probably benefit from modifications. In any case myself shooting stock 92s, I think they are more accurate than a Glock.

The Beretta 92 FS runs about $600 US$. The $300 Berettas are surplus 30-40 year old 92S models from the police in Italy. They trade in their old Berettas to Beretta for new ones and get a trade in discount on the new ones. Beretta then flips the old ones to the USA for a profit. Most people don't realize that companies like Glock and Beretta don't really make much or any money on selling discounted new guns to law enforcement, they make the money on the trade ins. It's convenient for the law enforcement agency, they get a discount on the new guns and don't have to worry about selling the old ones.

Police and military have much different selection criteria that say you or i. Accuracy is secondary to durability, reliability and functionality.

GIve me a choice from CZ or Beretta for comp shooting i would take the cz...

If i had the cash i would buy a 92fs so lol



Yeah I agree CZ is great

As an owner of one of these fine pieces, I love it. Fired thousands of rounds through it and it comes back.for more.

What club you in? What comps do you intend to shoot? Do you reload? The Beretta may not be ideal depending on the answer about comps. If you happen to be in Sydney then I have a selection of Beretta's you're welcome to try, I've got an 87 Target, 92FS, M9A3, Wilson Combat and an APX. I don't mind Beretta's as a whole but I've no passion for them when there's so much better value for money. When the 92X is out in numbers then I might find passion :)

I own a 92fs and a Glock and I find the 92 has less recoil as it is a heavier unit than the Glock. With that I find the 92FS a better unit to shoot with but I do love my Glock too.
