Beretta 92X Performance

[bac1023]

I picked this up recently, but haven't had it to the range yet. Anybody have one here?

They seem like very well built pistols. Its a little heavy at 48oz unloaded, but I like that. Looking forward to shooting it. :)

Very nice. Shot it and tell us.

I would strongly consider spending money I really do not have if it came with fixed sights for carry.

I would be even closer if the were 3 dot night signs from the factory

They aren't exactly cheap, but I think a great value for the dollar at around $1400 give or take.

Would be a very heavy carry gun though. Not something I would carry, but I guess some could. Figure with ammo, you are well over 50oz

[vcdgrips]

60 ish oz loaded.

Light recoiling I suspect.


A quality holster and belt would be key.

My go to belt for something like this would a 5 stitch , polymer reinforced Wilderness brand belt as I own it already and it works well with a full sized, all steel 1911/2mags/1 flashlight/1 fixed blade loadout.

I own one. A hell of a shooter!! Accurate as can be and very soft shooting. I installed a set of LOK grips on mine. Local Sportsman’s Warehouse has one in the counter for $1300.

92X performance available for same as a lame sig legion or a bare bones dan Wesson 1911. While it’s apples v oranges still pretty easy choice for me!

So cool. Hope I’ll get to shoot that someday. :) :).

They are competition guns. Thats why the weight is so heavy. Looks like the Beretta's answer to the CZ.

Very nice pistol and I particularly like the cocked and locked option.

Yes, Beretta’s answer to the Shadow 2 Production Competition pistol.

Definitely Bucky :cool:

I’ve got like 3 guns I want to buy once the insanity is over. They’re all niche guns, and the 92X Performance is one of them. I suspect I’ll enjoy it tons.

What else are you looking at?

HK P30SK V1 and probably another revolver.

Did you guys see this?

It's unnecessarily long, but contains a fairly clear explanation of the mistake that Beretta made while milling the slide, provided you're patient enough to hear it.

The summary is that the spring pocket was milled too deep. He used a longer spring to fix the issue, some of us on the Beretta forums used the Wilson 150% extractor spring and haven't had a hiccup since.

I bought a stainless vertec barrel from Beretta 2-3 yrs ago. Last summer I started having extractor problems. The Wilson spring fixed it. I will try to remember to measure the depth next time I have it apart and compare to another slide.

No hiccups with my 2020 made example.

Thanks for posting. Kinda weird variant - not sure the minor frame differences are compelling (the version without the rail is the defensive one?), but what do you make of the slide? Is that an optics ready mount?

ETA: Picture shows slide detail. Interesting to see Beretta pursue a factory optics ready configuration. Looks like an optic would sit much higher than Ernest's solution.

Hmm, that's kinda odd.

I know that I live in only a very certain bubble, but I really don't get why the larger Beretta organization doesn't take more of a lead from LTT.

I mean, I am *down* for more frame safety 92s, but an aluminum-framed, frame safety 92X would be more of a "Defensive" gun than a steel-framed 92X without the rail.

I'd also rather see the larger Beretta organization somehow license or otherwise leverage LTT's red dot solution and adapt it to these other slide designs. An aluminum-frame, railed frame, frame safety 92X with an LTT red dot cut would probably be more appealing to the market than this 92X Defensive gun.

I'm still glad that Beretta is working on the 92, however.
