There is no doubt that it makes some of the best guns on the market. However, these gems come with a price tag that deters some. Fortunately, a number of makers have stepped in by producing some high-quality Beretta clones that perform just as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although, the term \u201cclone\u201d can be a bit deceiving here, as there are some obvious changes in the details, but the overall designs remain the same. Love them or hate them, clones are a great way for more people to have access to a specific model or design that may be out of their price range or possibly not even produced anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Girsan Regard<\/h2>\n<p>The Beretta 92 needs no introduction. This classic wondernine has been in the hands of law enforcement and military units for decades. In steps the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/girsan\/firearms\/handguns\/?brand=Girsan&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=top-beretta-clones-quality-and-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Girsan<\/a> Regard, a solid substitute that can save you a few hundred bucks in some cases. With both Beretta 92 and 92a1 clone options, as well as different upgraded models with optics and threaded barrels, Girsan offers a Beretta 92 alternative for every application.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/rebate-central.html\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/win_targetammo_rebate_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/win_targetammo_rebate_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Girsan Regard with Red Dot Optic\" class=\"wp-image-88118 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Girsan Regard with Red Dot Optic\" class=\"wp-image-88118\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girsan-Regard-with-Optic.jpeg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>With the included optic, this Girsan is one of the best Beretta clones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>My favorite version is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/eaa-girsan-regardoptic-9mm-luger-semi-auto-pistol-black\/FC-741566905353.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=top-beretta-clones-quality-and-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optics model<\/a> because I feel like the incorporated optic provides you with the best value.
