What are the key features of the Beretta 92FS?
The Beretta 92FS is a double/single-action, short recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol. The open-slide design ensures reliable feeding and ejection, which is a significant factor in its reputation for dependability. It features an ambidextrous safety/decocker lever mounted on the slide, allowing for safe carrying and immediate decocking of the hammer. The reversible magazine release makes it adaptable for both right and left-handed shooters. The visible loaded chamber indicator provides a quick visual check of the pistol’s status. These police trade-in models have seen service, so expect some cosmetic wear on the finish, but the internal mechanisms are typically well-maintained and fully functional. We inspect these firearms thoroughly before they leave our FFL.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Beretta 92FS Police Trade-In Pistol
What does “police trade-in” mean?
“Police trade-in” means these pistols were previously issued to law enforcement agencies and have been removed from service. They are typically well-maintained mechanically but will show cosmetic wear from holster use and handling. We inspect each firearm to ensure it is in good working order.
What condition can I expect the Beretta 92FS police trade-in to be in?
Expect good to very good mechanical condition. Functionally, these pistols are solid. Cosmetically, they will have holster wear, dings, and scratches on the finish consistent with their prior service life. We do not guarantee a specific cosmetic grade, but we ensure they are safe and functional.
Does the Beretta 92FS come with magazines?
Yes, each Beretta 92FS 9mm police trade-in pistol typically comes with one (1) standard capacity magazine. Due to varying state laws, we cannot guarantee specific magazine capacities or provide high-capacity magazines to restricted states. Buyers are responsible for knowing their local laws.
Is the Beretta 92FS suitable for concealed carry?
While it’s possible to conceal a full-size pistol, the Beretta 92FS is a relatively large and heavy pistol. Most individuals find it better suited for open carry, home defense, or range use. For more discreet carry options, consider our compact or sub-compact handguns.
What is the difference between the Beretta 92FS and other 92-series models?
The 92FS is the most common variant, featuring a slide-mounted safety/decocker and a frame-mounted magazine release. Other models like the 92G (decocker only), 92D (double action only), or M9 (military designation) have minor differences, but the 92FS is the civilian standard. These trade-ins are specifically the 92FS model.
