Duration: 10:50

The video reviews Beretta's new camouflage 92X I series, a collaboration with How Arms, an organization employing disabled veterans. The presenter discusses the aesthetic appeal of the camo patterns, particularly the Vietnam tiger stripe, but reiterates his preference for the standard Beretta 92's DA/SA trigger and decocker over the 92X I's single-action-only (SAO) operation, which he likens to a 1911. The initiative is seen as a positive way to move unsold inventory while supporting veterans, provided prices remain reasonable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Beretta 92X I camouflage series?

The Beretta 92X I camouflage series features unsold 92X I pistols with custom camouflage finishes applied by How Arms, an organization that employs disabled veterans. This initiative aims to move inventory while supporting veteran employment.

What are the different camouflage patterns available on the Beretta 92X I?

The available camouflage patterns include BDU (Battle Dress Uniform), DCU (Desert Camouflage Uniform), Chocolate Chip, and the presenter's favorite, the Vietnam War-era Tiger Stripe.

Why did the Beretta 92X I initially not sell well?

The Beretta 92X I did not sell well because it is a single-action-only (SAO) pistol with a manual safety, deviating from the traditional Beretta 92's popular double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger and decocker system, which many consumers prefer.

Is the Beretta 92X I camouflage series considered a cash grab?

The presenter suggests it's not a significant cash grab, as the camouflage models are priced similarly to the original 92X I. It's viewed as a positive way to utilize unsold inventory and support a veteran employment initiative.

What is the main functional difference between the Beretta 92X I and a standard Beretta 92?

The primary functional difference is the trigger system: the 92X I is single-action-only (SAO) with a manual safety, similar to a 1911, whereas the standard Beretta 92 features a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger with an integrated decocker.
