Need help figuring out the model of this Beretta.

[Hadley1987]

My husband bought back in the 90's, sold it to his brother and then bought it back like 2-3 years ago. It originally came with 2 magazines but apparently his brother lost the other one so he's wanting to buy 1 or two extra magazines, but I need to know the model of this damn thing. It's a 9mm and the magazine it has hold 16 rounds.
Most firearms have their model name on there I assume, but this one has that whole sentence and I'm not sure how to find the magazine for that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a 92fs. The origional magazines are 15 rounders.

Lol, yeah I feel stupid. I could've sworn I looked on the other side but I guess I assumed it said the same thing as the left side of the barrel (The First Decade 1985-1995 blah blah.
It states America's Defender
Beretta M9-92FS

So yeah, that answers my question lol.

Go to this Beretta site, enter the serial number exactly as explained and it should tell you how many mags came with the pistol and round capacity.

Update, I just noticed the picture showing the serial number and ran it. The pistol has a manufacture date of 2000, during the clinton capacity stupidity, so it would have shipped with two 10 round clinton capacity mags.

Strange, it was sold to him with a 15 rounder that it still has, I'm sure he has no recollection of the other magazine. I met my husband in 2002 and don't recall if he had this gun then or had already sold it to his brother, but I'm pretty sure he bought it at either a local gun store or pawn store. Heck, I doubt he'd remember it now.
Holding this beast, I don't know how a tiny 10 round mag would fit... the damn thing is so big, the 15 round mag fits snug in it. But I'm way more familiar with my Ruger SR40c, and am not familiar at all with this bad boy.

Alright, so I asked my husband and he gave me some details, surprisingly he remembers. He bought it in 2000, it did come with a 10 round mag (which is the one missing) and the store owner sold him the 15 round mag.

The 10 rounder just has a spacer in it, to keep more than 15 from going in. It is the same length as the 15 rounder, on the outside.

Actually Beretta 10 round mags have a depression running down the mag forcing it to be almost single stack. This is a 10 round stainless version of the same mag which would have been black in the special edition pistol.

Without that depression the mag would hold the standard 15 rounds.

Looks like you got your answer on the gun type, but I had to say that it is a beautiful piece!
