Well, the few times I've shot a 92FS, I couldn't hit squat with it. I feel like I should work on that.

I got an air pistol which is an exact replica, in fact it weighs more than my real 92FS. I practiced for 15 mins a night in the basement, and in a few weeks I was way better with the real 92FS.

Well, I'm Navy Reserve and will be in the medical corps in a few years. Figure that the chance of getting shot at, even if deployed to the combat zone, is probably not much higher than getting shot at at home, but it's a semi-plausible excuse to buy another handgun as well.
Yes. For the 92 full size pistols, it's the grip, which is on the large side. The slim grip Beretta 92FS ("Vertec") fits many shooters' hands better, and that is the point of Beretta putting out the extra model. Their new 92 replacement, the "90-TWO" (isn't Beretta's marketing dept. amazing?) comes with a swappable grip body that, for under $15, lets you swap between the two in about a minute. I shoot either type of grip decently, but am much more consistent with the slimmer grip/Vertec models.Is the M9/Beretta 92FS one of those pistols that just doesn't work well for some people? I had never fired one until 2005 at Devens during an Army Commanders Challenge match, and I couldn't shoot that M9 well at all. It was bad enough that the first thing I did when I got home was run a box through my Sig just to prove to myself I wasn't a hazard to myself.

What is it that makes the M9/92FS, or any other pistol, a "works for some, not for others" shooter? Is there some relationship of grip size, trigger stroke and hand sizes that will not let some people shoot some pistols well?

I sold mine but I'll probably end up getting one again someday.... I kept all my 92FS preban hicaps I had accumulated.

********I can't hit the broad side of a barn with my Beretta either. I actually do better with my little NAA Guardian. Something about me and that gun just doesn't click. I hand the Beretta to my uncle, and he'll put them all dead center.
Have you seen the difference in prices?? HOLY MOLY!
I think that I paid just around 400 for mine a few years back. Now I'm seeing them all over the place for around 600...it's nuts.
I think I got my 92 at the time as a "tax free day" special for like $499
