You also can't go wrong with anything that Langdon or Wilson Combat sells.

Wait...they made a 92 SAO? Well suck me sideways....I may have to track one of them down.Beretta 92XI SAO.

Ya, the 92x Performance, and most recently the 92xi & Performance Defensive.Wait...they made a 92 SAO? Well suck me sideways....I may have to track one of them down.
Now my brain hurts.The SAO is still DA/SA if you manually de-cock, and it has a frame mounted safety.
My 92x Performance is heavy, she shoots steel real good.
You have some good advice here already but I'll chime in because I went through exactly this same process not that long ago. I decided I wanted a 92 "because everyone should have one," and started educating myself. Having a few GI .45s, an M9 felt like the answer for the military connection, and also because it's the most iconic. I decided to get the cleanest used 92FS or M9 I could find at a good price, with no rush. I stashed in several surplus M9 mags in case (WA mag ban), even before I got the gun(s). My prior experience with the 92 was shooting a 92FS my dad had in the '90s, and his older Langdon-tuned 96G Brigadier Elite II he has now. Never bonded to either, but wanted to give it a go just because.Any specific models of 92 I should consider? There are quite a few to choose from...

Have you tried the smaller Vertec grip?Not a Beretta nerd but did own an old 92 years ago. The gun was extremely high quality, made in Brazil (I've been told this is now the Taurus factory???). It had the euro mag release at the bottom of the grip. It was a beautiful shooting gun, but not in my hands. I have normalish palm size and shorter fingers (my brother was the bass player and apparently received all the hand size). It was just too difficult for me to grip will, especially with the first DA pull. It went to someone who appreciated it.
My bride and son have a PX4 Storm compacts. Wife shoots it fine but favors Sigs, 1911s, and most of her other guns honestly. I think the feel on the full-sized 92 is better, partially due to the size and weight and this may be true on the larger PX4.
Enjoy your quest!
I have not. Though I think they are fine guns, I'm comfortably in another platform now. I will make note of this though, thanks!Have you tried the smaller Vertec grip?
You can make the Px4 safety a decocker only like the older Sigs.I won't own a gun with a Walther style safety, I hate them.
Another thing to note, is roughly c. 2005, Beretta changed the grip on the standard 92FS without making a big deal about it. This is the real point to consider in the "straight dust cover vs. angled" debate.I have not. Though I think they are fine guns, I'm comfortably in another platform now. I will make note of this though, thanks!
I had never heard of Triggerwork.net...I have owned a PX4 Storm for several years. Love the gun but just not a DA fan. Sent it off for work on the trigger. Cost me $85 + shipping. Langdon Tactical does great work but face it, they are expensive. I used Triggerwork.net. Bill has done some good work for me. I bought mine used for $350.
I own a 92X too and it may eventually get it done also.
You can always get the trigger job in a bag. It's supposed to get you like 80% of the way to their trigger job.I had never heard of Triggerwork.net...
I may have to send something to Bill and give him a try, his prices are certainly reasonable, especially with current inflation.
G modeYou can make the Px4 safety a decocker only like the older Sigs.
Warning —- double check with Bill about the pricing. I think some of them are out dated. Not by much but some.I had never heard of Triggerwork.net...
