Same for a 92FS, as long as the safety is in de-cock

A Beretta 92FS will not go off when dropped, safety in de-cock or not...

There is a firing pin block that must be deactivated by a pull of the trigger. If the trigger pull has not deactivated the firing pin block, even an impact to a hammer in the down position will not cause the firing pin to strike the primer of cartridge held in the chamber. Look closely at a 92FS when you dry fire it and you'll notice a small rectangular extension that protrudes from the top of the slide, behind the breechface. That is your firing pin block being disengaged.

Regards,
