Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Beretta 96 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W, developed as the .40-caliber adaptation of Beretta’s proven 92-series at the height of the cartridge’s popularity among law enforcement in the 1990s. Designed to offer increased stopping power while retaining the balance and shootability of the 92 platform, the Model 96 quickly earned a reputation as a dependable sidearm. Built with an aluminum alloy frame and steel slide and finished in Beretta’s corrosion-resistant Bruniton coating, it was engineered for durability, service reliability, and long-term performance under demanding conditions. The pistol features a standard 4.9-inch barrel that preserves the balance and sight radius of the full-size platform. It is equipped with fixed white 3-dot sights, providing a clear, high-contrast sight picture for rapid alignment and consistent target acquisition. Magazine capacity is 10 or 11 rounds, depending on configuration. Black grip panels with checkering provide a secure, comfortable hold while reinforcing its classic service-pistol profile.

The traditional double-action/single-action trigger system delivers a deliberate first double-action pull followed by lighter single-action shots, complemented by an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker for added versatility and administrative safety. Utilizing Beretta’s signature open-slide design and short-recoil locking-block system, the Model 96 served as the foundation for multiple variants and configurations. It remains a representative example of the .40 S&W service pistol era, reflecting a time when the cartridge dominated American law enforcement.
