Beretta Web - Model 92S: new Safety Lever position

It is well known that pistols have the following advantages o revolvers:
- higher lightness and shorter trigger pull
- higher precision
- higher muzzle velocity less maintenance needed
- higher rate of fire in rapid fire
- higher volume of fire.
The Beretta Pistol Model 92S has also the following characteristics:
DOUBLE ACTION: which offers the advantages of the revolver,
Furthermore, this system allows the possibility of a second quick
strike on the same ammunition in the rare instance of misfire which, in view of the high level of quality reached in ammunition today, can practically happen only because of the capsule. The repetition of percussion is sufficient to fire the round.
STAGGERED MAGAZINE: (holds 15 rounds). With the same length as a traditional magazine, it almost doubles the capacity of f ire.
CHAMBER LOADED INDICATOR: when there is a round in the
barrel the extractor protrudes laterally showing red. It is therefore possible to check visually (and, at night, to feel) whether there is a round in the barrel without having to retract the slide.
DISASSEMBLING DEVICE: extremely quick and simple. It is designed in such a way as to avoid casual or involuntary disassembly.
MANUAL SAFETY WITH HAMMER RELEASING DEVICE: it gives the advantage of enabling to release the hammer with the maximum safety when there is a round in the chamber.
BALLISTICS: although depending to a certain extent on the type and the quality of the ammunition and local atmospheric conditions, they are the optimum obtainable from a firearm of this size.
In normal conditions of use, the average velocity and corresponding kinetic energy of the ammunition fired from this firearm
are as follows: V 0.5 = 1280 f t/sec E 0.5 = 492 f t /lbs.
