Beretta 92FS Inox

what is so different about this gun from a regular stainless or blue 92? does it have a better trigger or sight what? It sure has a better price tag.

Inox is Italian for Stainless Steel. Same gun, different metal.

Are all of the stainless 92/96's INOX or is it a separate model, and is INOX stamped on the slide?

Inox models usually feature stainless slides and barrels with clear anodized aluminum frames. They have either stainless or blued parts (trigger, safeties...) Like most stainless pistols, typically command a premium over the blue(In Beretta's case Bruniton) model. With fluctuation in availability, the difference in price can vary. The most desirable variations are the early Italian made Inox with all silver parts,mags and straight dust cover. I don't think there is any shooting benefit, just looks.

OK, thanks for the info. I got my no blue INOX for less than the better looking bruniton models at the store. Never really looked into the INOX designation.
