The Beretta 92 series pistol is a modern classic. Bill Wilson has called it the most reliable out-ofthe-box double-action auto on the market, and he has frequently made a point of shooting one in the competition he started, IDPA, the International Defensive Pistol Association. IDPA’s national championship has been won more than once with a Beretta 92, with the double-action 9mm outshooting supposedly more “shootable” single-action autos like the ones Wilson himself is famous for building and customizing. The Beretta is the preferred DA auto of former World Champion Ray Chapman.
