The U.S. military's sidearm for thirty years.
The Beretta 92 FS is a piece of living history. In 1985, it replaced the legendary M1911 as the standard sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces under the designation M9 — serving for over three decades across every conflict from the Gulf War to Afghanistan.
Built by Beretta — the world's oldest active firearms manufacturer, founded in 1526 — it's the embodiment of Italian engineering: elegant, balanced, and built to last centuries.
The open-slide design virtually eliminates stovepipe jams, the 15-round magazine offers serious capacity, and the all-metal construction gives it a satisfying, controllable recoil impulse. There's a reason it served the world's most powerful military for thirty years.
In cinema and in service.
John McClane's pistol in the original Die Hard (1988) is a Beretta 92 FS — Bruce Willis's character even references it by name on screen, cementing its place in cinematic history.
Mel Gibson's Riggs carries one throughout the Lethal Weapon franchise. The FBI used it. The Italian Army uses it. The French GIGN used it. Few pistols have served in so many places, on both real battlefields and fictional ones.
