Instructions to Disassemble a Beretta Pistol
Beretta is one of the foremost weapons manufacturers in the world and its handguns are used by military and police agencies around the globe. Beretta's most recognizable model, the 92FS, is also the official sidearm of the U.S. military. All Beretta pistols are built on the same basic frame, making the field-strip process the same for each weapon. As with all firearms, it is important that you know how to disassemble your Beretta pistol in order to perform routine maintenance and repairs as needed.
