New from Beretta: 92FS with Built-in Lasermax Laser

1. Nice troll bait, RF! 🙂 Actually, lasers are a great accessory for a working pistol. I prefer a red dot sight as a general tool, because you can’t lose the dot as easily into the background upon drawing, but lasers provide a way to bring the gun to bear from odd positions – like taking cover under a car – while minimizing your exposure from behind cover or concealment. My pocket pistol has a Crimson Trace, and at least in practice, it definitely speeds target acquisition and time to first shot.

2. Wish I could get a green guide rod laser for my Springfield 1911 EMP. Anyone know if one is available? Laser grips are OK, but the guide rod laser would be better in my opinion, if they turn off and on easily.

3. Meh.

   Any word on M9A3 release?

4. How does it turn on?

   • The LaserMax guiderod models all turn on via a takedown-lever located switch.

5. Great looking pistol.

6. Lasers are excellent for firearms training and . . . that’s it.

   Well, they’re also effective at flashblinding airplane pilots and . . . that’s it. Oh, and how could I forget about looking tacticool?

7. I only have one issue with lasers. there are a lot of people who think that since they have a laser they can forgo a lot of the fundamentals of marksmanship. I’ve met several people that think their LCP is an Fing deathray now that it has a laser.

8. Lasers go in a straight line – bullets do not.

   • The same can be said of ANY optical aiming device: red-dots, lasers, scopes, even iron sights. They are all straight-line aiming devices that are only truly accurate at one specific range. Are you saying that you do not use iron sights on your pistols, because they rely on light which only travels in straight lines, and as such are only accurate at one range? For pistols, the short ranges of typical engagements allow more than sufficient accuracy with a single elevation setting on the aiming device, whether it be a red-dot, iron sights, or yes, a laser

9. Any word on how much? Also, any chance of us lowly peasants getting the M9A3 (regardless if the military ever adopts it or not)?

10. I had a lasermax in my G23. The laser worked great!…for the first 200 rounds. Then it started dimming and getting brighter randomly. Then it would only go solid instead of flash. Cleaned and installed fresh batteries and the problems still existed. Go with something better with a laser, like a tlr.

11. I had a Beretta 96 centurion (every day carry) that I added the lasermax internal to and was totally pleased for years, until it broke in half while shooting. I contacted lasermax and sent it to them, it couldn’t be repaired or replaced since it was no longer in production. Kind of pissed me off with the amount of money I spent on it but what was worse is it left me with a non-functioning weapon. Luckily I was target practicing and not defending myself. The bottom line, I’ll never own another one.

12. I’m actually appalled that the engineering community never took this fantastic idea & made it even better. You mean to tell me that something that sits that close to the center of the bore & is activated by the already existing takedown lever , couldn’t be re-engeneered , or refined into the most perfect laser in history ?!?! I’ve had a Beretta 92FS since 92 , when I turned 21 !!!! The oldest gun manufacturer on the planet , since the 1500’s !! I’m pretty partial to the brand , now that they’ve developed the PX4 Storm .45 & I’ve replaced my 92FS With it as my primary side arm. Anybody that has shot a handgun , in the history of handguns would be more than happy to get one that was almost dead nuts accurate at 20-25 ft. Now imagine if Beretta, or every gun manufacturer had taken interest into this design & refined it to the toughest , most accurate & reliable guide rod ever produced ………….. the trips to the range , or out back , as I’m lucky enough to refer to it as , would be more for the joy of shooting, than the need for practice. Lasermax themselves should be ashamed that they never engineered a more accurate & reliable component than the two Beretta models , a few Taurus models & the ridiculous amount of Glunk models they offered. Beretta the manufacturer should’ve expanded and refined the design & rendered external lasers obsolete themselves !! Imagine being the only gunmaker that could boast that kind of accuracy & ease of operation ?!?! Where’s the sense of innovation & drive to perfection that this country used to stand on ?!?!?! Oh yeah …… we’ve all been separated into our much smaller & easier to manage groups of what we like & don’t like , instead of what works best & what doesn’t. I’d prefer to have a revised , refined & ultimately improved version of this product in every handgun I own !!!!! Then It would be much easier to just decide which light I wanted:)!!

    P.S I should’ve used a better word to describe LaserMax being ashamed , than I did. For some unknown reason this idea was not being expanded on & given the fact that you can purchase a new Beretta 92 w/ this product from the factory, tells me that there’s money being left on the table & if it were my product, I’d be capitalizing on it to this day !!
