Explains Hattrup, who lives in a state that does not yet have the concealed carry option, “I keep a straight-up Beretta 92 for home defense, and just bought a 92 Vertec for the flashlight rail feature. Berettas are known for their reliability, especially in 9mm, and reliability is my prime consideration in a self-defense firearm. The advantage of being able to use full-capacity 15-round military surplus magazines is a nice bonus.” Once he had selected the Beretta 92 for home defense, it seemed logical to shoot with the same system in competition to build his skill.
