Beretta 92 Clones and Derivatives

Taurus PT92. The most well-known derivative. Made on Beretta tooling that Taurus acquired after Beretta's Brazilian contract expired.

Helwan 920. Egyptian license-produced Beretta 92 copy.

Yavuz 16. Imported into the US as the ATI AT92. The version imported into the US is marked MKEK but is actually produced by Girsan.

Girsan Regard. Basically a modernized Yavuz 16 sold commercially.

Derya Arms Melik. Another Turkish 92 clone.

PAMAS G1. French license-produced Beretta 92 clone. Known for having brittle slides due to the slide material containing Tellurium.

Vektor Z88. Meticulously reverse-engineered from a batch of 20 Beretta 92 pistols that South Africa possessed. Started out as an unlicensed clone and was then licensed. The licensing agreement only allowed these to be sold domestically.

Vektor SP1. An updated version of the Vektor Z88. Most defining feature is the closed slide. Primarily made for export as the Z88 couldn't be sold internationally.

T75. Taiwanese Beretta 92 copy produced by the 205th Arsenal. Notable differences from the Beretta 92 are the shorter barrel and integral, unremovable sights as the sights and slide are machined as a single piece.

T75K1. Updated T75 pistol. Most components of the pistol were redesigned for enhanced ergonomics/ease of disassembly. Has an integral buffer system to reduce recoil.

T75K3. Further development of the T75K1. Most notable improvements are: a polygonal barrel said to increase accuracy and extend barrel life, a Picatinny rail attached to the dust cover, the ability to attach a red dot sight to the slide, and the use of lightweight composite materials. Among other internal and ergonomic improvements.

Llama M82. Uses the Beretta 92 locking block mechanism and incorporates features from the Llama Omni.
