The series 92 Beretta pistols are semi-automatic firearms functioning on the short barrel recoil principle and using a falling block locking system. Upon firing, the pressure developped by combustion gas recoils the slide-barrel assembly. After a short run of slide-barrel assembly, the locking block falls and releases the slide letting it recoil while the barrel stops against frame. The slide, during its rearward movement, extracts and ejects the fired caratridge case, cocks the hammer and activates the recoil spring. Pushed by the recoil spring, the slide then moves forward feeding the next cartridge from the magazine into the chamber and causing barrel-slide locking.

The slide is designed to stay open after the last cartridge has been fired and ejected.

NOTE: Some models are equipped with hammer half-cock position. It is not recommended to carry the hammer half-cocked. This device is intended as an accidental discharge preventive hammer drop catch.

NOTE: Competition Conversion Kit models: specifications of converted pistol.
