Beretta 92FS
One of the most recognizable pistols in the world, which served the U.S. military for decades. An open slide that almost never jams, a heavy aluminum frame that softens recoil, and an old-school hammer-fired action. An excellent pistol to shoot — and not a concealed-carry gun.

- The weight softens recoil — easy and accurate to shoot
- Reliability proven over long military service
What's less good

How to mount an optic on it
The Beretta 92FS has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
