Description
There is a reason the 92 pattern has stuck around for decades, and the Girsan Regard MC is proof you do not have to spend a fortune to get one. Girsan has been building this pistol for the Turkish military and law enforcement since the 1990s, and EAA imports it here with the same service-grade construction. You get a 4.9 inch barrel, a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, a serrated steel slide in a deep black finish, and a smooth double action/single action trigger with a slide-mounted decocker, the same manual of arms military armorers have relied on for years.
Familiar 92 Feel with a Few Smart Upgrades
Anyone who has spent time behind a Beretta 92 or M9 will feel right at home here. The grip angle, controls, and open-slide profile are all where you expect them, and the Regard MC even feeds from standard 92-pattern magazines, which means affordable spares are everywhere. Girsan added finger grooves on the front strap, an ambidextrous safety, and a Picatinny rail up front with room for a full-size light or laser. The all-metal build soaks up 9mm recoil nicely, making long range sessions easy on the hands and quick on follow-up shots.
Why the Regard MC Earns Its Keep
With 18+1 rounds on tap and a hammer-fired action that runs everything from budget range ammo to defensive loads, this pistol pulls double duty as a home defense gun and a range regular. The rear sight is adjustable so you can dial in your preferred load, and the long sight radius from the full-size slide helps accuracy at distance. Owners consistently report strong reliability over high round counts, and the fit and finish punch well above what you would expect at this level.
If a classic wonder-nine has been on your list but the Italian version keeps climbing in price, the Regard MC gets you into the platform with money left over for ammo and a spare magazine or two. It is a workhorse pistol with real service history behind it, and it shoots like it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Girsan Regard MC compatible with Beretta 92 magazines?
Yes, the Regard MC feeds from standard Beretta 92 and M9 pattern magazines, so finding affordable spares is easy. It ships with one 18-round magazine from the factory. Many internal parts are also shared with the 92 platform, though the barrel and locking block are Girsan-specific.
Is the Regard MC double action or single action?
It runs a traditional DA/SA trigger, just like the Beretta 92 it is patterned after. The first pull is a longer double action stroke, then the hammer stays cocked for lighter single action shots. A slide-mounted decocker lets you safely lower the hammer, and the safety is ambidextrous.
Is the EAA Girsan Regard MC reliable enough for home defense?
The Regard has served as a sidearm for Turkish military and law enforcement for years and is built to service-grade standards. Owners regularly report thousands of rounds fired without malfunctions. With 18+1 capacity, a rail for a weapon light, and soft-recoiling full-size ergonomics, it is well suited for home defense duty.
Can I mount a light or laser on the Regard MC?
Yes, the frame includes a Picatinny accessory rail in front of the trigger guard with room for full-size weapon lights and lasers. The rail is one of the modern upgrades this pistol has over older 92-pattern designs. Most common rail-mounted lights fit without issue.
