Couple Beretta 92fs Inox questions....?

Question

I have a couple questions about the 92fs Inox....

1: What speed loader to you recommend? i've seen a lot that i'm interested in, but have no experience using them. Whats your succcess?

2: Is it against the law to carry a concealed weapon in Indiana? I don't own a gun, so don't worry - i'm not a gun owner who doesn't know the law. lol

3: Whats your success using +P ammo?

Answer 1

I agree with most of the answers and usually agree with JD on most of his knowledge and answers, BUT, Beretta itself will tell you NOT to use +P+ ammo in ANY of their pistols. This may harken back to the disaster of the original Beretta 92 F as given to the military. The navy seal teams wanted a pistol that could use the same ammo as their MP5. However, the ammo they were using for the MP5's was hotter than standard 9mm ammo. After many rounds thru the pistols, they experienced catastrophic failure with the slide coming off the frame and striking them in the face with horrible and deadly results. Granted this was with a lot of over pressure rounds thru the pistols. Beretta then developed the 92FS pistol, which had the addition of a new slide block to prevent it happening again, but Beretta gave strict orders not to use the hotter ammo in the pistol. Since then, being a little ( pardon the pun) gun shy, Beretta has stated that you should not use +P+ ammo in any of their pistols. Alloy isn't as strong as steel. I'd even go so far as to say don't use +P ammo very often. Besides, with the new family of 9mm ammo available, like TAP etc, this is excellent performing stuff without needing the +P or +P+ pressures. I have been required to carry 9mm on duty with some departments, and although I am an advocate of, and carry to this day, a pistol chambered in .45 acp for personal defense, I would not hesitate to carry the 9mm with the new ammo. I can also tell you from first hand knowledge, that if you shoot someone in self defense, you're gonna be sued. If you shoot them with +P or +P+ ammo, your gonna lose in court. Some hot shot lawyer is gonna tell a jury made up of the most liberal anti gunners he can sneak thru, that you weren't satisfied with shooting his client with a normal bullet that might have "just wounded him" oh no, you had to use a special "mankiller" bullet designed to kill with every shot. Or something to that effect. Trust me, I've seen it. It's easier and a much better idea to find out what cartridge your local law enforcement is using, and use that cartridge. Any good defense attorney will tell you that it is much more defensible in a courtroom if you show that you wanted to use the safest and most humane ammo, and so you use the same stuff as the local cops.

Answer 2

Beretta Magazine Speed Loader

Answer 3

I can only answer #2. Indiana has a very liberal concealed weapons permit system. Any cirizen with a couple of classes and a clear record can get a permit. Stop in at any gun store and they can set a person up with all the paperwork. Indiana's CCW permit is good in most states that have ccw. Check concealedcarry.com

I have fired Beretta 92's I just do not know about inox and I have never used a speed loader, I have an iron thumb.

No problems with +p. Most +p I've seen are hollow points, fine for self defense but awful for offense, they don't go through glass well

Answer 4

#1 The Beretta 92 INOX is a semi-automatic 9mm Pistol that doesn't require Speed Loaders, unless you shoot in timed competitions or matches. You just carry extra loaded magazines, that are loaded by hand.. (Beretta only made a limited run of 92INOX in 2002 only.)

#2 Has already been correctly answered

#3 ANY Beretta 9mm is completely capable of handling the pressures of +P or +P+ 9mm Factory Ammunition. It functions flawlessly. Excellent for personal protection, and offers the best performance and man stopping power......

Answer 6

With +P Ammo I feel like the gun kicks more and that it is hard on my gun. Which is a Glock and therefore bullet proof. So even though I know my gun can take it, I'd rather age it less quickly by using simple old 9mm 147 grain hollow points.

Answer 7

1. HKS magazine loader. I never go to the range without one. link 1

2. Read a summary of Indiana law yourself. link 2

3. Biggest bang and most power in 9mm.....if you need to use your pistol to protect your life, you want it loaded with +P. Not always great for targets.

Answer 8

I never was in that situation ... i never found the girl that i care for now ... but i'd say that if they started to see the girls personality(s) then they more then likely would have felt bad ... but if they had no intrest in the first place except sex ... then i'd say that their hormones was in total control.
