Beretta 92S 9mm police surplus. the Beretta shoots differently than any other handgun I've used. I wasn't expecting such a solid grouping for first time use. 12 yards. with some practice, I think I can get quite good with this one.

My first handgun was a 92fs.

Amazing gun in every way. But I could never shoot a decent grouping with it :(.

Fairly wide grips on them, takes a while to work with it. I dont have very big hands so I get it, especially follow up shots

It's my worst pistol grouping as well. I think it's the irons, not a huge fan of them. I shoot way better with my other pistols.

I’ve let other people use it and they can fire it accurately. So it’s not an issue with the gun.

I’m chalking it up to just not syncing well with it. Which is unfortunate, cause it’s otherwise a great firearm.

92's are a great platform.

If those are one inch squares a 6x6 grouping isn't horrible, but there's definitely room for improvement. Fundamentals like grip, stance, eye line and focus point. Also finding point of impact when aiming.

The group is scattered so its hard to pin point where to advise.

Greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get better.

Well made guns worth the money, decent aftermarket support. Keep it up!

If counter strike taught me anything is that you have to dual wield them :)

Ever seen or shot a Z88?

Haven't had the pleasure. I bet it's great?

No idea! I just know it’s a copy of the 92f.

Hi, stupid American here. I thought semi-auto handguns were effectively banned in Canada? Is this something you can own on a regular PAL?

Some of us knew it was coming and panic bought until it was too late. I need an RPAL to keep them but I can never buy, sell or trade beyond what I have
