Features of the Sphynx Beretta M9/92
The Sphynx Beretta M9/92 is designed to work with many variations of the Beretta 92/M9, supporting full-size, compact, and single-stack configurations. This adaptability stems from its modular frame variants and comprehensive parts compatibility.
The base frame design supports a standard Beretta 92FS style, but modifiers allow customizations, including:
- Compact (C) and Type M (M) frames for single-stack builds.
- Enhanced ergonomic options such as Vertec grips (V).
- Modern features like Picatinny rails (B) or stylized trigger guards (R).
Compatibility spans across the 92FS family and extends to select clones, including Helwan 920 and Girsan models (minor fitting may be required). However, note that Taurus parts and kits with frame safeties are not supported.
Print settings emphasize precision, with 100% infill, 6-10 walls, and specific positioning to ensure structural integrity. Adjustments for filament type and support structures are recommended to ensure a clean build, especially for key operational components like rails and undercuts.
