The Beretta 92 (also Beretta 96 and Beretta 98) is a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured by Beretta of Italy. The model 92 was designed in 1972 and production of many variants in different calibers continues today. The United States armed forces replaced the Model 1911A1 .45 ACP pistol in 1985 with the military spec Beretta 92F, the M9.

The Beretta 92 was designed for sports and law enforcement use and, due to its reliability, was accepted by military users in South America.

A large contract for the Beretta 92 was with the Brazilian army, for which Beretta set up a factory in Brazil. This factory was later sold to the Brazilian gunmaker Taurus. Taurus makes these pistols (called the PT92) without the need for a license from Beretta since their design is based on the original Beretta 92, whose patents have since expired. The PT92 can be distinguished from its modern Beretta counterpart primarily by having the safety mounted on the frame as opposed to on the slide like the Beretta. Though mechanically similar to the original, the PT92s differ from the early 92s by having a trigger guard similar to the modern 92s (the originals were rounded) and a magazine release in the same place as the modern 92s.

France has made licensed copies of Beretta 92FS as the PAMAS G1 and the French-M92s is now in use in the Armies and Polices.

Design of all the parts to make them 100% interchangeable to simplify maintenance for large government organizations. Modified the front of the trigger guard so that one could use finger support for easier aiming. Recurved the forward base of the grip to aid aiming. Hard chromed the barrel bore to protect it from corrosion and to reduce wear. New surface coating on the slide called Bruniton, which allegedly provides better corrosion resistance than the previous plain blued finish.
