Description
The Beretta 92FS Police Special 10 Round is a full-size 9mm double/single-action pistol based on the legendary 92FS, packaged the way police departments have bought it for decades. This version uses 10-round magazines, which makes it a good fit for shooters in states with magazine capacity limits.
Beretta 92FS Police Special 10 Round Overview
The Beretta 92FS served as the standard U.S. military sidearm, the M9, for more than three decades and has been carried by police agencies around the world. The Police Special package is mechanically a 92FS: an aluminum alloy frame, a steel slide with the signature open-top design, and a matte black Bruniton finish, a Teflon-based coating that resists wear and corrosion. Beretta offers this package through its law enforcement program, but this model is available to civilian buyers through licensed dealers where state law allows.
Open-Slide Action
The 92FS uses an open-slide, short-recoil delayed locking-block system. The barrel stays in line as it unlocks instead of tilting, which many shooters credit for the pistol’s accuracy and smooth recoil impulse. The open-top slide ejects spent cases cleanly and makes it easy to clear malfunctions or load a single round by hand.
Trigger and Safety
The first shot is a longer double-action pull, followed by short single-action shots. The slide-mounted ambidextrous safety also acts as a decocker, safely lowering the hammer when engaged. Shooters coming from striker-fired guns should practice the double-action first shot and the transition to single action.
Sights and Ergonomics
Three-dot sights give a quick, familiar sight picture for daylight shooting. They are not illuminated, so many owners add tritium night sights for low light. The grip is large, which helps control recoil but gives smaller hands a long double-action reach. The magazine release can be reversed for left-handed shooters.
Magazines
This package includes 10-round magazines. Beretta 92 magazines are among the most widely available in the world, which makes spares easy and affordable to find. If you live in a state without capacity limits, 15-round and 18-round 92 magazines are also available.
Durability
The 92FS is known for running reliably through very high round counts. The aluminum frame keeps weight to about 33 ounces, but replace recoil springs on schedule to protect it over the long run. A tool-free takedown lever makes field stripping quick.
About the Police Special Name
The Police Special name refers to Beretta’s law enforcement package rather than a different pistol. The photos in the gallery show the standard Beretta 92FS, which shares this pistol’s design and finish.
State Laws
Handgun rosters and magazine capacity limits vary by state. Check your local regulations before ordering, and your receiving FFL dealer can help confirm this pistol is legal where you live.
