In order to meet the requirements of some law enforcement agencies, Beretta modified the original Model 92 by adding a slide-mounted combined safety and decocking lever, replacing the frame-mounted thumb safety. This resulted in the 92S, which was adopted by several Italian law enforcement and military units. The magazine release button is at the bottom of the grip as is customary in Europe. This model was produced from 1978 to 1982. These pistols are used, Italian Police trade-ins, that are in excellent operational condition and Very Good to Good exterior cosmetic condition. The amount of wear on the pistols varies, but you can expect some holster wear on the slides, as well as finish wear on any hard edges (such as around the trigger guard or beaver tail). Chambered in 9mm (9x19), the full size and moderate weight of the pistols contribute to them being very pleasant to shoot, and they make fantastic carry or home defense handguns. These pistols have lightweight alloy frames and steel slides. Each pistol will come with one (1) 15rd magazine, has a slide-mounted combined safety/decocker lever, and fixed sights.
