Beretta 92 Rail Adapters

[Dcowboyscr]

I have a classic no rail Beretta 92 made in 2021. Looking for light rail adapters. I can’t find the Surefire MR11 which is my first choice anywhere. Does anyone have experience with the TDI Arms rail adapter? Are there any other adapters I should be looking at? Thanks.

I have the EZ Rail that I sometime use on my Beretta 92d. It’s pretty good for what it is, the light sits a little lower than on a true railed Beretta however. I was able to get it to work in a Phlster Floodlight holster with a TRL light.

I tried a NC star adapter before that and it was a waste of money. It didn’t fit correctly and it was secure on the gun. The EZ adapter locks on and is very secure.

To be honest I would just keep an eye out for a used 92A1.

Defilade good to know about the EZ adapter. I was wondering how secure it was.

Once the EZ adapter is in place, it doesn’t move. It locks onto the takedown button and stays put.

There is this thing from Recover Tactical https://www.recovertactical.com/product/bc2-beretta-grip-rail-system-for-the-beretta-92-m9/

This will create holster issues I suppose.

Another big fan of the EZ Rail adaptor (formally known as TIC).

I have used several different adapters and this is by far my favorite. It is very secure and have never had any issues. It’s big advantage is that goes on and off quickly. I leave the light attached to the adapter, and then slide the adaptor on and off like you would the light.

While I have never had one break it does seem of lighter build than the surefire or some other rails so if your intent was a permanent mount to be carried in a holster daily and subject it to numerous draws, then I’d recommend the surefire. But if you are fine carrying it separately and then quickly slapping it on when needed (what I did when I was carrying an M9) or simply want to give the capability to mount a light to a nightstand or home defense gun, the EZ rail is the way to go.

The only BIG downside to the EZ Rail is that it is designed for use with a FLAT DUST COVER and as a result does not fit as well on slanted dust cover guns. You could use some bondo or similar and build up the rail to fit the slanted dust cover and that should provide a custom fit.

I have two of the TDI adapters. I was very impressed w/ the first one. Unfortunately the second one had a problem.

More unfortunately I sent this picture to them and...crickets. I am able to use it, and it is just for a light so if the aim is slightly off it's no big deal. If it were to mount a laser, I wouldn't want to rely on it.

I ordered from them a couple years ago for the same thing on my 226.

Do you find that the TDI adapter wears on the triggerguard or dustcover or are there pads like the Surefire MR11 to prevent scratching the frame?

Will either of the rail adapters mentioned work on a Centurion?

The EZ will work on a compact so pretty sure it will do the same on a Centurion.

I’ll post a photo when I find it.

I can't really say since they are on our two bedroom 92s which 99% of the time are in the lockbox under the bed. They clamp onto the trigger guard so I would assume they might mar it slightly. They also contact the sides of the dust cover. This is the fit on a slant dust cover. You can see it barely reaches the sides of the dust cover.

This is the fit on a straight dust cover.

The fit to the dust cover is a slip fit rather than jam tight fit so I think marring there would be minimal.

Thanks. I have a 92D Centurion with the straight dust cover. I'm hoping this would be a reasonable alternative for a house gat with a light. The other alternative is to buy a 92A1/M9A1 frame and build-a-gat.

What’s the price/availability of M9A1 frames?

I really think it will be perfect for your needs.

What’s the price/availability of M9A1 frames?

Pretty much the price and availability of M9A1 pistols which 2 years ago was pretty dismal - especially for poor stupid bastards like me who need a Kalifornia specific SKU on the box. Railed frames are pretty rare creatures on their own, but some people will buy M9A1 pistols for their frames and then mate them to different slides to build the pistol to meet their needs (Frankenguns or "Build-a-gat.")

Last I checked when I was looking for a 92D Centurion a 92X frame with all the important bits and a rail was going used for $425.

I think you’re correct.

I had looked into building a 92D Centurion off a parts kit and a 92X frame. I was looking at around $800-$900 by the time I collected all the parts. The factory built 92D Centurion I bought was $550-ish with the shipping and other fees.

I don’t feel a pressing need to run a WML on a carry gun. I’ve taken enough low/no light classes to feel confident in using a handheld. With that being said I do like the idea of having one on the go-to house gun for reasons.

Thanks for the picture. I think next time I order gun stuff I’ll add one of those mounts to the list.

As mentioned- the cool thing about the EZ Rail is that it goes on and off as easy as a light. I would carry my M9 in my tanker holster or M12 and the light attached to the rail in a pouch on my web gear. If I needed a light it was almost as quick to mount the light to the gun as it was just to grab a hand held.

That's pretty cool. It's a bit more work than I'm looking to put in but it is cool. :)
