Beretta: “Yipee-Ki-Yay Christmas Giveaway” Featuring the 92FS
Beretta has announced a new holiday partnership with Hook & Barrel magazine for the Yipee-Ki-Yay Christmas Giveaway, a promotion centered on one of the most recognizable pistols in both Hollywood and firearms history: the Beretta 92.
The giveaway’s grand prize is a Beretta 92FS, the long-running service pistol that helped shape modern handgun design and became a pop-culture icon through its appearance in the action film Die Hard. The collaboration aims to blend firearm heritage, seasonal nostalgia, and the enduring appeal of 80s action cinema.
First introduced in the 1970s and refined over decades, the Beretta 92 series is known for its reliability, durability, and Italian industrial design. The 92FS, in particular, has served with military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters worldwide. Its on-screen use by John McClane helped propel it into global recognition and cemented its status as one of the most familiar pistols ever produced.
“Beretta is thrilled to partner with Hook & Barrel on a giveaway that celebrates not just a firearm, but a cultural icon,” said Dina Sanders, Beretta USA Earned Media Manager. “The Beretta 92 has played a role in countless personal stories from the range to the big screen and this giveaway highlights that shared passion in a fun and nostalgic way just in time for the holidays.”

Me thinks Die Hard might be the best Christmas movie ever.
I'm probably not the only person out here who just closes the tab when a company expects me to enter my DOB or phone number to enter a contest.
...Just sayin'.
