Beretta 92FS Pistol, 9mm Luger, 4 7/8 Inch Barrel, 2 lbs.

Description:
The 92FS has an enlarged hammer pin that fits into a groove on the underside of the slide. The main purpose is to stop the slide from flying off the frame to the rear if it cracks, potentially injuring the user. The "S" in "92FS" signifies either "Scivolo" (meaning "slide") or "Sicurezza" (meaning "security" or "safety") in Italian, due to the design's improved and safer slide in case of a catastrophic failure. This was in response to allegations of defective slides during U.S. military testing. Beretta discovered in an investigation that the slides had passed high-pressure proof testing and magnetic particle inspection when they were made, and metallurgical analysis showed that they had indeed been made to the proper specification. In reality, the slides were separating due to improperly made ammunition, which was extremely overcharged over NATO specifications. The "out of spec" ammunition was also causing the frames of SIG Sauer P226 pistols to crack. However, even after investigations were made to absolve the 92F of any problems, Beretta still suffered a massive reputation pitfall, which led to a lawsuit by Beretta against the US government for defamation. 9mm Luger
