Interesting, I didn't even know they were made in that caliber!!

In Italy this modification is common becuase the 9 para is a caliber forbidden to civilian.
Many 9 para handguns (P38, Luger, HP35,....) are so altered.

 

so it is not a factory 92 in 9x21m but just a bbl change by an owner to 9x21.

in real life i own a FACTORY cz85 in 9x21

 

Beretta produces 9x21 barrels for Italian market and many other factories produce 9x21 barrels for their guns only for Italian market.
Older guns are modified by other little factories, like the "Nuova Jager".
The 9x21 was a invenction of Mr. Piscetta of the old "Jager Arms" to deceive the Italian law that forbids the 9 para to civilian and was then copied by the Isrealian IMI.

 

Correct - it’s an old pistol with a new bbl I installed.

9x21 indeed came around as a way to skirt Italian gun laws, but nowadays it seems they can own/use 9mm para. I think the days of the 9x21 are counted, but I have a feeling Fiocchi will be loading it for a couple hundred more years

 

... nowadays it seems they can own/use 9mm para...

Sorry, no. We can use it only on revolver and with lead bullet.

 

try shooting 9x19 in a 9x21, from the magazine.
40 s&w in a 10 mm


it all works
headspacing off the case mouth is a DESIGN feature,
it real life the extractor holds the case well enough for
ignition,
been there done that.
own tons of 9x21 cases

 

Shot it for the first time. First off, 92S feels so much better than the 92FS... smooth is good.
9x21 in this gun feels right too. Shot great, zero issues, and was accurate.

 

Update: I still use this bbl actively. In fact, Winchester just unloaded some 9x21mm 124 gr FMJ on the market for under 9x19mm prices, so I complemented my PPU stash. It’s been a couple of years since I got this bbl and have been very successful in using the brass to make 30 Luger. Today I tried the bbl in a Girsan Regard (with the Girsan block) and all worked great.

 

I'm curious what your perceived difference is between shooting the 92S and a 92FS?
I have one of the Italian Police 92S and I've shot FS before

I’d say the 92S cycles smoother. Almost like the tolerances were closer. It may be hooey, but it’s what I feel 😆

 

well, some guns just seem to have a smoother trigger or the feel of it, is just right
