Arms Magazine Tanaka Beretta 92SB-F "Hollywood Version" Evolution 2 HW Cap Gun

A good look at the Beretta 92SB-F "Hollywood Version" Evolution 2 HW Cap Gun by Arms Magazine in this video... "Beretta submitted the 92SB-F, a slightly modified version of the 92SB, to the XM9 Service Pistol Trials to decide which handgun would replace the Colt M1911A1 for the US military. In the end, it was a one-on-one battle with the SIG SAUER P226, and it was successfully adopted as the official handgun. After that, the model name was changed from 92SB-F to 92F, and it became more popular in Japan. Meanwhile, in 1987, two immortal action movies, "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard," were released, and both protagonists wielded 92Fs. In fact, the 92Fs that appeared in these movies were the same 92SB-Fs made in 1984. Tanaka has reproduced the "92SB-F" that appears in these movies as a firing model gun compatible with the Evo.2 cartridge. The engravings were selected to be the 1984 "Made in Italy" type based on historical research, and the grip design of the early version was reproduced. The upgrade includes minor changes such as shock absorption during ignition and rust prevention measures, as well as about 20 other parts. In addition, this "Hollywood version" comes with parts that can be used to recreate the model from the movie."
