I was trying to see if a Beretta 92F slide I have would fit on my 92FS. It won't go, am I doing something wrong or is it different? Thanks Don

    The "S" stands for safety. The "F" slids were breaking and comming off the back and hurting people. It happened with the high round count military guns.
    Look at the big head pin on the frame of the "S" frame and the slot on the slide.

    If you look at the rear of a 92FS frame you will see a large round disc. This is a slide retention feature which will capture a broken slide in the event of a failure. The inside rail of a 92FS frame has a corresponding groove cut into it to allow it to ride over the disc while a 92F slide will not have that groove and as a result will not fit an FS frame.

    Isn't that where the saying "You're not a Navy Seal til you taste Italian steel" came from?

    The Berettas are made from aluminum, and the standard issue Navy Seal sidearm is the (German/Swiss design) SIG P226.

    But other than those two technicalities, it makes sense!
