The 92SB was adopted by the Italian State Police, Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza. The 92SB was differentiated from the 92S-1 by an automatic firing pin block safety that was added, as well as enhanced grip texture. The 92S-1 was a 92S which was modified to meet the requirements of a US Navy contract. Introduced in 1980, the Beretta 92SB was the modified version of the 92S, with a changed magazine release and an ambidextrous and more ergonomic safety. Unlike its predecessor, the 92S is plentiful on the surplus market (due in large part to its long service life with Italian police) and prices are still quite low. In 1977, the US Navy also ordered a large number of the modified 92S-1 after it outperformed competing pistols. Unlike later variants, the 92S is easily identified by it only having the safety-decocker on the left side, the later Beretta 92SB would make the safety ambidextrous and would alter the design of the safety lever.ĭespite not seeing the level of success as later designs, the 92S was adopted by practically every Italian police agency and helped set the stage for later developments on Beretta pistols.

The 92S is far closer to modern Beretta pistols than its predecessor, as the 92S made major modifications that are still used today, such as adding an early slide-mounted combined safety and decocking lever, which replaced the 92's frame mounted manual thumb safety. Introduced in 1977, the Beretta 92S is distinctive as it is the first modification of the original Beretta 92. Unknown variant fitted with stepped slide and non standard grips
