Beretta 92 FS Compact (and general Beretta love lately)

[Suvorov]

How many of y’all are running a 92 Compact (not Centurion?) I was all hot and bothered about getting a PX4CC, but after handling PX4s twice I got cold feet. Meanwhile my LTT 92 Elite full size is really impressing me, which makes me (kinda) idly start wondering about how a LTT Compact would work as a daily carry pistol.

I think Centurions are more popular here, but the slightly smaller Compact appeals.

The 92Compact is my standard carry pistol. I find it very easy to shoot and it displays all of the qualities it’s bigger brother has. Reloads can be problematic as there is a chance of pinching your little finger but I’ve experienced that with the USPc as well. I find the shorter grip does conceal better with my IWB at 3:30 but on the range or days with heavier clothing I can run a full sized magazine with a tube adapter that essentially gives me a Centurion frame.

Love my 92x compact. I Just run a full size mag with no adaptor for reloads and the pinching isn't as much of an issue.

Otherwise I just consider it blood for the blood god.

Haven't carried it in a bit since getting into the CZ P07 tho

92x compacts seem hard to find right now. At least my searches on the net have yielded few in stock results.


A few G models, but if I AIWB with one, I would prefer an FS model.

I don’t AIWB (yet), but I would have zero issue carrying a “G” model in such a manner. As you know the DA trigger on the 92 is long and the ability to ride the hammer during holstering would give you warning of any trigger movement.

Paging @snow white.
He's got an LTT compact and has carried it for a while

FWIW: Langdon is selling Beretta-type (not LTT) RDO Centurion/Compact slides.
They’re take-off items from guns they assembled using M9A4 frames and their own RDO-cut slides.
They are all FDE, and have G-mod decockers and (most important to me) dovetailed front and rear night sights.

They’ve had these advertised for a while, but my sense is that they might not be doing the take-off thing much longer.
I’d prefer a black LTT Elite Centurion slide, but those are unobtainium.

I finally ordered one for $315 shipped.

I’ve been wanting to future-proof my stable of 92 Centurions & Compacts with slides that I could replace the night sights in when they dim with age. Just a bonus that I’ll have the option to add a dot later if I choose to.

Not affiliated w/ LTT (other than owning a bunch of their products).

Just thought I’d put it out there in case this is near the end of the availability window.

So I decided to follow your advice and grab one of the FDE slides while they are easily available. Finally have night sight on my pistol! Also grabbed some of the new 15rnd mags so I’m G2G once the County decides I’m sufficiently trained to have a CCW

Kind of dig the 3 tone look

Did some machining to the stock Beretta grips to think them out - took about 1mm off both grips.
This, coupled with some slide-lock lever thinning and g-level thinning makes it fit the IDPA CCP box.

I like the pistol ... Need to double check POA/POI issues, then call it good.

Just like the PX4, I really need to handle a Compact. I have broad palms, so I may be a person subject to pinching.

how compact is the "compact"?
I have been looking at a LTT92 compact for carry instead of my full size, but I am not sure if $1300 really justifies a 1/4" shorter grip and some weight savings.

I find the bobbed grip results it it printing less. YMMV

It’s NOT a compact gun in the same manner as a S&W shield though.
