This review of the Beretta 92X Performance Carry Optic Dark Series highlights its design for competition. John Parker, Editor-in-Chief of Shooting Sports USA, details features like the Vertec frame, optic-ready slide, and enhanced trigger. The pistol's weight, aggressive checkering, and included 18-round magazines are noted for performance.
The Beretta 92XI Squalo represents a significant modernization of the classic 92 series. Key updates include a move to a frame-mounted safety, enabling 'cocked and locked' carry, and an optics-ready slide with internal modifications for red dot sight compatibility. It also features an enhanced Single Action Only (SAO) trigger system and competition-oriented ergonomics like a flared magazine well and extended magazine release, making it a notable evolution for both duty and sport.
The Beretta 92X and M9A3 share many internal components and the Vertec-style frame, but differ significantly in aesthetics, barrel configuration, and included sights. The M9A3's higher price is justified by its threaded barrel and Trijicon night sights, making the 92X a more budget-friendly option for those not needing suppressor compatibility or advanced sights.
