Analysis

The Beretta 92SB represents a significant upgrade over the 92S, with the addition of a firing pin block, an ambidextrous safety/decocker, and a more accessible magazine release, making it safer, more versatile, and better suited for modern tactical use. These improvements addressed key operational and safety concerns, positioning the 92SB as a critical step in the evolution of the Beretta 92 series toward its widespread adoption in military and law enforcement contexts.
