The 92 series of semi automatic pistols operates on a short recoil, delayed blowback system with a safe and time-proven double/single action. The durable 14-round steel magazine is drop-free when the magazine button is depressed, even when empty. Chrome-lined barrels provide extreme corrosion resistance, and feature a deeply recessed combat muzzle crown to protect the rifling. The open slide design virtually eliminates jamming and stove piping and allows the chamber to be loaded one cartridge at a time. The attached disassembly latch simplifies field stripping.
The user may retract the slide single-handedly by pushing the rear sight against the edge of a table, door, or similar objects. The external hammer design provides the energy to the firing pin, virtually eliminating the possibility of misfires due to light primer, and provides immediate indication of cocked/uncocked status. Even if the pistol falls and strikes the ground muzzle down, the firing pin will not strike the primer. Each pistol features a lightweight, forged frame made from extremely strong aircraft-quality aluminum alloy. Bruniton non-reflective black coating is a superior corrosion and wear-resistant finish. These Inox models have a stainless steel slide and barrel with an exceptionally corrosion-resistant and durable gray-anodized frame to match the color and finish of the stainless components. The other metal parts (trigger, hammer, safety, magazine, and so on) are black finished.

particular item.
The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity.
