Very pretty. Do you give it regular workouts to keep it in such good shape?

I just got it today, from the guy who purchased it new, back in 1980. He had lot the box and the original grips a few years back, but the pistol has only been fired sparingly. I found a new set of the original grips online, and should have them later this week.

Real slick action. The slide feels like its on vaseline coated glass. The bluing is kinda washed out in my photo. It's a deep, dark, blue/black like the "old days".

Hell, yes, I'll shoot it! Even these oldies will probably never be that "collectable".

Its funny to read all the guys that claim the 92 is "too big" for them. Ha! Reminds me of the hooker in Full Metal Jacket..."Too beaucoup, too beaucoup !!! "........ :) But I guess guys with little girly hands might think its too big. :)

They fit most 1911 holsters, too.

I did not know that.

I have a 92FS, nothing collectible but a very nice pistol that I enjoy shooting. It's my second-most-used 9mm, next to my carry XD.

Fits in most leather. I've got an IWB and an OWB and it fits great.

And you must not have "girly hands" :)

It's hard to capture the bluing in a photo. It really does look nicer than this. But here it is with Beretta grip panels.

That looks much better with the Beretta grips, IMO. I don't know which ones feel better, though, which is obviously what really matters.

The Pachmayrs feel good, but they increase the circumference of the grip quite a bit. The Beretta panels don't add much in size, and they do look nice. I'll probably leave the Berettas on it. They complete the "classic" look of the pistol.
