I’m like 75% certain I’ve roasted the 92FS series at some point but I have absolutely no solid memory on it so fuck it why not punch it again.
The 92FS is the gun equivalent to “it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. It’s a gun that has been the same basic pattern for a quarter of a century and hasn’t changed like Josh Groban or that one lone 1990′s styled McDonald’s that every Rust Belt town still has for some godforsaken reason.
Now, you might wonder “why on earth is this still a thing?” as you see the piles of piles of standard striker fired double stack 9mm handguns that fill every gunshop from Bangor to Barstow. Well it’s because the 92FS is the kingpin of a certain demographic I call the “actual combat handguns with enough mass to be used as blunt weapons” where this sits with the P226, CZ-75 and the Hi-Power which just got bumped out of that because FN. Now, why are THESE still popular?
Well because of the following.
A: Reliable as all hell, will eat any type of ammo and if it can sustain a dumb POG forgetting to clean it for 20+ years, it will survive you. Don’t put faith in those surplus 92S’s though, those might not be as nuke proof.
B: They’re the middle line between the bearded wannabe operator with a Glock 19 with a Zev slide and the fudd with a Kimber 1911 in an Uncle Mike holster thus meaning you don’t have to argue either side and get to centrist your way out of dumb debates.
3: They’re relatively affordable for people who understand that a sidearm is a sidearm so there’s no point dropping thousands on a gun that’s going to spend 95% of its time in a holster and that remaining 5% is being spent cleaning it.
And the 92FS is good at all of the above. The sights are good enough, the accuracy is good to keep this as a solid plate dinger at long ranges with some practice, the parts are common as dirt so you can make it a suppressed warrior or a super tactical retard gun with a Wilson Combat gun if you’re the same person who takes the AlienWare approach to computers. Reliability is perfect because you have to specifically aim to jam one of these to make them jam. It’s a good sidearm for the man who wants a modern pistol but doesn’t like strikers but also doesn’t like safeties because the best safety on the 92 is the DA trigger pull.
