This review covers the Beretta 92XI SAO Sabbia, a single-action-only pistol with a 5-inch threaded barrel and FTE Cerakote finish. The reviewer highlights its optics-ready slide, 22-round Mechar magazines with Tony Systems extensions, and a Vertex-style grip. Initial reliability issues due to Cerakote thickness were resolved by Beretta's customer service, resulting in a smooth-running firearm. The pistol is positioned as a competition or tactical option, competing with 2011 platforms at a lower price point.
The Beretta 92XI Sabbia is a limited edition, single-action-only variant of the 9211, featuring a sand-colored frame, LOK Grips, and a threaded barrel. It offers a high-quality feel and impressive accuracy out of the box, capable of hanging with more expensive 2011 platforms. Modifications like a Two Patriots trigger and aftermarket grips can further enhance its performance and ergonomics.
This review provides a first look at the new Beretta 92XI SAO, a single-action-only variant of the classic 92/M9 platform. The firearm features an ambidextrous safety, a cold hammer-forged chrome-lined threaded barrel, and Beretta's optics mounting system, making it an excellent candidate for suppressor use. The inclusion of a Tony Systems flared magwell and increased capacity magazines further enhances its appeal for competitive shooting or duty applications.
