Did, or does, Beretta produce the 92 without the warning printed on the dustcover, and/or on the slide, like I seem to be seeing on newer pistols?

Yes they did. I don't know when it was added.

The M9 does not have any warnings.

Two of my three 92s have the dust cover warning.
My commercial copy of the M9 is the one that doesn't.

Beretta does love them some billboards.

Straight dust cover 92S/92F from the 1980's did not. None of mine ever did.

Earlier pistols had no such billboards of legal BS. I don't know when they started with the practice but I tend to believe mid 90's. If you want a pistol without all the BS just get a late 80s, early 90s straight dust cover F or FS.

Mine is from 1992. So much nicer.

The S&W settlement is what caused US manufacturers to put warning labels on. Mid 1990's or so

I bought these two about 19 years apart as new pistols and both lack the warnings on the frame or slide. The M9 is a commercial variant I picked up in 2013. The Inox has a BD (1994) date code and was purchased that year.
