That is to say that the lever must be flipped upward to be in the “fire” position and flipped down to be in the “safe” position. Mechanically, the safety’s function is inverted from what most folks would consider “normal”’ function. The lever itself is mounted as high on the slide as physically possible, directly flanking the rear sight notch. The original Beretta 92FS comes equipped with one of the most awkward safety systems we’ve had the misfortune of being ordered to carry into combat. The final major internal change that comes with the Mod 5 package is what’s commonly called the “G conversion.” With Robar’s Mod 5 upgrade package, NP3 plating is used on the barrel, trigger, hammer, mag release, slide release, lanyard loop, grip screws, and up to three magazines. Not to mention that our experience shows that NP3-coated parts can usually be wiped clean by a dry rag even after high-round-count training. Metal parts coated in NP3 sliding against each other results in an incredibly smooth, gliding sensation when running the gun. The inclusion of Teflon in the chemical makeup also adds an inherent dry lubricity regardless of how much or what kind of liquid lubricant you use as part of your maintenance plan. Part of the upgrade process included swapping the safety for a dedicated cocking lever.
