S. Navy purchases 92 series pistols for SEAL Team 6. Beretta enters the JSSAP program with the Model 92S-1, a new version modified to meet the tender's specifications (ambidextrous safety lever, reversible magazine button, checkered grips, etc.). In all tests, the 92S outperforms and wins against all competitors. 1978 The American (Joint Services Small Arms Program) JSSAP program begins. It is managed by the USAF and is tasked to select the new Armed Forces handgun. 1977 The 92 becomes the Model 92S thanks to technical improvements (like the decocking lever safety) made to military specifications.The 92S is first largely adopted by the Italian State Police, and is later sold on the U. S. commercial market. Beretta U. S. A. Corp. is founded, manufacturing in Accokeek, Maryland. 1975 The pistol is officially presented as the Model 92.The first military adoption is made by the Italian CONSUBIN (the Italian Navy "SEAL" teams) and from the Brazilian Army (1975/76).
