That's one of Phil Genovese's e-Bay auctions, where is he these days I wonder?
The ad's description says"Full Auto" but contradicts itself further into the description by quoting "Semi Auto"... I assume it is a Semi only?
Doc, would Marushin's 9mm Browning Hi Power and Walther PPK Side-Fire be suitable for this model?
BTW Francky's got one of these listed on his site at $198 too.
Curiosity got the better of me so a search found this...
Beretta1: M92 Series ◇History and Comments◇ After M92F became an official handgun of the U.S. Military Force in the early 1980s, its modelguns and airguns also got a big popularity in Japan. And the
Die Hard' movie series made the popularity bigger.
The first Beretta M92 modelgun was produced by Suzuki in the late 1980s. It was M92SB, a commercial model of M92. Then MGC and Marushin started making its military models. MGC modeled up M9(ABS, HW), M92F(HW, SRH, silver ABS), M92FS
Desert Storm Special Edition(HW), and M96FS(HW). Marushin had more variety such as M9(ABS, HW), M92SB(ABS, HW), M92F(ABS, HW), M92FS(ABS, HW), M92FS Super Chrome(ABS), M92FS Stainless Silver(ABS), known as "Inox", M92FS Brigadier(ABS, HW, silver ABS), M92FS CQB(HW, silver ABS), M92G(ABS), and Dolphin(ABS, HW, silver ABS).
MGC has sold only complete models while Marushin has been releasing kid models as well. They are all in good shape and work very well and precisely like a real gun, so they have become one of the most popular modelguns in the history.
| M92SB (Suzuki, ABS, PFC blowback, 600g) | Ｍ９２Ｆに改良される前の商用モデルであり、軍用モデルのようにトリガーガードが角張っていないのが特徴である。
本モデルは、Ｍ９２系のモデルガンとしては最初の物であった。しかも、オートマチック・ファイアリング・ピン・ロック・システム等の実銃にほぼ忠実なメカニズムを持っているとあって、発売された当時はセンセーションを巻き起こしたという。
現在は「スズキ」というメーカーはないが、同じ物が後にマルシン製品として発売され、ＨＷ版も発売された。
写真のモデルは木製グリップ付きの限定版である。スムーズな表面の黒いＡＢＳとは異なり、スライドとフレームにはヘア・ラインが入っている。
なお、刻印は以下のとおりである。
