Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Beretta Model 96 Vertec is easily recognizable as a variant of the proven Beretta 92 pistol. The primary difference is that the back strap is straight and smaller in cross section than the standard Beretta 92. This makes for better hand fit. It may be said that this grip frame is similar to the comfortable 1911A1-type grip. The pistol also incorporates light rails into the design with a modern rail on the forward dust cover under the slide. The pistol uses the same oscillating wedge lockup that has been in use with the Mauser C96, Walther P 38, Beretta 951 and now the Beretta 92/M9. The pistol’s action has proven reliable and the Vertec builds upon this proven action.
This example is a stainless steel Inox version. The fit and finish of Beretta products is uniformly excellent. Moreover, stainless steel is more resistant to the elements and wear than a blue finish handgun. Stainless is a good choice for a hard-use service-grade handgun.
As for the action’s operation, the long but smooth double-action first-shot trigger breaks at just over 12 pounds. The pistol changes to single action fire after the first long double-action trigger press. The slide recoils and cocks the hammer for single-action fire with a smooth 5.5 pound trigger release. While there have been complaints concerning the girth of the Beretta 92 grip frame, these are addressed smartly with the Vertec variation.
Similar to the other Beretta 92 variants, the pistol is simple to field strip, clean and maintain. To disassemble the pistol, lock the slide to the rear, be certain the chamber is empty and that there is no magazine in the pistol, then rotate the disassembly lever (located in front of the slide lock) downward. The slide lock may then be released and the slide ran forward off of the frame rails. The recoil spring guide and spring may then be lifted from the barrel. Next, the pin in the barrel locking wedge is pressed and the barrel may be lifted from the slide. This is all that is needed for normal maintenance.
