Beretta 92 FS Compact Inox Operating Instructions - Page 7

F. FUNCTIONAL AND MECHANICAL FEATURES: 1. Slide Catch: As the last round is fired, the recoil reciprocating slide is automatically locked open by the slide catch, clearly signaling the magazine is empty. For slide closing by right shooting hand, push the catch down by the thumb. When using left shooting hand push the catch down by the index finger. (Fig. 1-F1) 2. Ambidextrous Safety-Decocking: Allows for quick and easy right or left-handed operation. (Fig. 1-D1 and Fig. 5-12) 3. Special Sights: Both the fixed front and drift adjustable rear sights are designed for swift target acquisition. To aid sighting under low light conditions, the sights are equipped with white inlays. (Fig. 1-F3) 4. V-Grooved Frame Serration: The grip front and back straps are longitudinally serrated to secure a firm hold even with wet hands or under conditions of rapid, unaimed fire. (Fig. 1-F4 and Fig. 6-F4) 5. Reversible Magazine Release Button: The thumb release button is factory installed for right-handed operation, conveniently located behind the trigger guard strap for quick combat release. If shooting left-handed, the button can be reached and depressed with ease by the left-hand index or second finger. (Fig. 1-F5) A left-handed shooter may prefer the device installed with the button on the right for convenient operation. After removing both grip panels the device can simply be pushed out of its seat by applying finger pressure from the buttonless side for reverse installation. Armorer assistance recommended, 6. Checkered Grips: The high impact resistant plastic grips (walnut grips on request) have thumb release for ease of safety-decocking lever reach and full grasp area checkered to ensure better hold with a touch of elegance. (Fig. 1-F6) 7. Combat Trigger Guard: The trigger guard front strap is crosswise Vgroove serrated to insure firm rest of the index finger when shooting with two hand hold. (Fig. 1-F7) 6
