    JJ Racaza joins Team Beretta

    This is interesting. Looks like he’ll be rocking the 92X.

    We are extremely proud to welcome @jjracaza in the #Beretta family. He signed a 6 years contract with Beretta. According to our General Manager Mr Carlo Ferlito, “@jjracaza is not only a terrific shooter - he’s a three times winner of Speed Shooting WCH, 5 times National Champion (#IPSC and #USPSA combined), and silver winner at the 2011, 2014 and 2017 IPSC #Handgun World Shoot, twice Open and once in the Production division - but also a great fan of the 92X and we look forward to cooperate with him in future developments to keep offering shooters from all over the world the best experience on the range.” @jjracaza’s impressions on the #92XPerformance: “Before I shot it, I was already blown away with how the trigger felt and the weight of the gun. Once I shot it, it confirmed and exceeded my expectations. There is no other stock gun that can be compared to the Beretta #92XPerformance. [...] Joining the Beretta Team is awesome. It’s very much of an honour to be part of a company that has been around for 500 years. This is something I have always dreamt of but I never had the audacity to think it could become real. 25 years of work are all combined to this moment”.

    Beretta is making some real moves now that the M9 is set to sunset. The Elite LTT was the first sign, the 92X another.
    Now, seeing them add a serious competitive shooter to the fold solidifies this even more.

    It's awesome. I hope they continue to press the market not only for competitve shooters but for LEO and concealed carry. Perhaps they're hoping the APX and Px4 cover those bases.

    JJ shoots one Production match a year and this thing doesn't come in .40. I guess we'll see how Beretta slides hold up to 9 mm major soon enough.

    Wow!!!

    This is something Beretta should have done 10 years ago. Who knows - the retirement of the M9 may actually be good for Beretta as it is forcing them to be more responsive to the market.

    Retiring from military service was the best thing that ever happened to the 1911. Once that happens the nostalgia factor really kicks in and that's a good thing for any product. Perhaps we're seeing that with the 92. In a way, the military contracts hamstrung the development of the 92. Big government bought the design and wasn't really interested in any changes and upgrades were few and far between over the last 35 years. Now that Beretta doesn't have to devote the production line to so much military and LE output, they seem to be making an effort to get the attention of the commercial market.

    I'm not a competitor anymore, but I want one of those for my "ain't it cool" shelf.

    Been done before in the days of 175 PF and before the S_I were available. CZs and Berettas were some of the original hi-cap "Open" pistols in 9x21 loaded to Major.

    Did Tanfoglio and Armscor get outbid?

    Doesn’t JJ live in Kalifornia?

    I don’t think the 92X is on the roster?🤨

    Vegas.

    I don't think he shot Tanfo more than once a year. Doubt they were too aggressive in keeping him.
