If you don’t mind the threads. Check with them, I think they had runs of standard length and extended/non-threaded.
AGW has shot that barrel in an 80X, and he gave us one here that is in the queue for validation testing. I've got it from Beretta Italy that old style barrels are technically compatible, but haven't been validated.
Validation testing covers reliability and durability via destructive testing.
So, I wouldn't carry it unless someone has put a ton of rounds through that barrel to verify, and I'd personally be careful about range use with spicy ammo until we run a plugged bore test (mostly because I've recently seen what happens when you run the wrong steel in a 92 barrel and plug bore test it). Also, using that would technically invalidate a warranty. Those caveats aside, it should fit and function, though I can't grantee to what degree.

Ehhh, unless we somehow start using him as a vendor for those, no, it wont. I'll just mean we can officially say we don't think using that barrel is dangerous.
With that being a Beretta Italy mfg gun, them owning the design, and it being a major safety critical item, there's a WHOLE mountain of reasons aftermarket barrels wont be covered under the factory warranty. Also keep in mind all the Italian barrels are gauged, and then run through a government proof house for certification. Barrels are not something we take lightly.

Perfectly reasonable and the answer I expected. I would say the latter point is, potentially, the most important part to me.
Europeans take things so seriously...On the one hand I appreciate it.With that being a Beretta Italy mfg gun, them owning the design, and it being a major safety critical item, there's a WHOLE mountain of reasons aftermarket barrels wont be covered under the factory warranty.

On the other...no EU country has been to the moon... (This comment has absolutely no bearing on this conversation what so ever)
