The Beretta 96D is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W and configured for double-action-only operation. This model was the choice of some of the US Boarder Patrol issued sidearms and many other law enforcement entity of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It features a black frame and matching black grips, with a standard magazine capacity of 11 rounds plus one in the chamber. The 96D design is based on Beretta’s full-size duty platform, incorporating the same slide profile and locking system found in the company’s 92-series pistols, adapted for the .40 S&W cartridge. The double-action-only mechanism provides a consistent trigger pull for every shot, distinguishing it from the traditional DA/SA variants.


This pistol is used. The overall condition is described as great, with normal indications of prior handling and use typical for a service-type firearm. The black finish on the frame and slide shows expected wear from operation and holstering, but all major components remain intact and functional. The 96D configuration eliminates the manual safety lever found on other models, instead relying on its internal safety systems and the longer double-action trigger stroke for secure carry and operation.


Included with the pistol is its standard magazine, providing an 11+1 capacity in .40 S&W. The black synthetic grips are factory installed and maintain the textured pattern for secure handling. No additional accessories or packaging details are specified. The Beretta 96D remains a straightforward double-action-only sidearm built on the company’s proven semi-automatic design, offering the same frame dimensions and control layout as other pistols in the 96 series.
