BERETTA 92FS: A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP

About this video

Colion walks through his evolving perspective on the Beretta 92 FS 9mm pistol. He describes how his initial dislike of the gun’s aesthetics and ergonomics has shifted to respect, while highlighting what he sees as both strengths—comfortable grip, smooth trigger, quality construction—and significant weaknesses, particularly the safety design and difficulty power-stroking the slide. Colion frames the Beretta as a duty or military weapon rather than a concealed-carry option.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the Beretta 92 FS has grown on him aesthetically despite initially finding it unattractive and overly busy in design
• He explains that the gun’s ergonomics are comfortable in-hand but fail for shooters who prefer power-stroking the slide due to the upward safety lever and exposed barrel causing pinching
• Colion describes the double-action first trigger pull as exceptionally heavy and long, though he praises the smooth reset and single-action follow-up shots
• He characterizes the Beretta as a high-quality duty weapon suited for military use, not ideal for concealed carry due to its size
