The Beretta 92 FS semi-automatic pistol operates on a short recoil, delayed blowback system, leading to faster cycle times, exceptional accuracy, and greater reliability. The chrome-lined barrel provides extreme corrosion resistance, while the deeply-recessed combat muzzle crown protects the rifling. The open top slide virtually eliminates jamming and stove piping allows for one cartridge at a time. The rear sight is designed to provide a front projection so that in an emergency, the user may retract the slide single-handedly by pushing the rear sight against the edge of a table or door.

The Beretta exclusive Bruniton non-reflective black coating is a superior corrosion and wear-resistant finish. Its reversible magazine release is positioned next to the trigger guard for either right or left-handed shooters. The 92 FRS model features dovetail sights, an open slide design, an ambidextrous safety/decocker, a combat trigger guard, and has a Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail. This model has a Sniper Gray frame finish and a 10-round magazine capacity.
