Beretta 92 FS Compact (and general Beretta love lately)

[Sigfan26]

I was going to start a new thread, but I ll try this first. I will be finishing my Beretta Vertec project that got lost in the great revolver buy up of 2015. I have a bunch of good stock Beretta magazines for my regular 92. With the Vertec With a 92 slide and bunches of Wilson junk I was wondering if anyone has used the magazines Wilson is selling. I was going to buy several, but wanted to make sure they were a good upgrade, or would I be better off with the actual Italian 15 rounders.

The 18 round Mec Gar mags are all I use in my EDC 92G and my BrigTac. I like them a lot more than the factory 15 rounders

Darryl, the last time I spoke with Ernest and Bill W, both preferred the MecGar AFC 18 round magazine for the Beretta 92. I think Wilson even sells them. I bought a bunch from GregCoteLLC.com.

The MecGar 18 round mags are the best thing out there for the 92. They're my prefered carry mag.

I've got my 92 ready for an EL class...

I just threw up in my mouth.

I like the Mec-Gar 18 round magazines as well. CDNN also has good prices on them (these are identical to the Mec-Gar magazines in every way except they lack the Mec-Gar roll mark). I'm not a fan of the Beretta OEM 17 round magazines, as I've cracked the floor plate on several, and you cannot order replacements from BUSA. I won't be buying any more. I'm curious to see if the 17 round PVD magazines for the M9A3 use a different baseplate, and if spares will be available for purchase.

Looking back on this thread, David B. said the following…

I like the slide and frame refinements of the 92A1. The only thing the frame lacks is a flared mag well. My choices in order of preference are:

92A1 - Most updated frame and slide design.
M9A1 - Older frame design, but has flared mag well and front and back-strap checkering.
92FS - No rail and integral front sight, but I'd still be happy with one. Lots of holster options.

A lot has changed at Beretta in the past couple of years since that was posted. Looking at the features on the 92A1, and its' relative uniqueness in the Beretta line-up, I'm wondering if it my find itself going the way of its' predecessor the 90-Two and go away? Are there any Beretta crystal ball readers that would care to speculate?

[JSGlock34]

I really don't see a place for the 92A1 in the Beretta lineup once the M9A3 is released.

MecGar 18's

Any thoughts on the 20 rounders? I was thinking two 18's for concealed carry with an IWB and single mag pouch, and three 20's for a range rig with an OWB holster and double mag pouch.

While I love my old W. German SIGs, I plan for this gun to be my DA/SA training gun.

Only have 2 of the 20 rounders, but I've never had an issue with them
