Beretta 92X compact grips
The Beretta 92X compact (often called 92X compact) is a modern, concealable evolution of the legendary Beretta 92/M9 platform, blending classic reliability with contemporary upgrades for EDC, duty, and personal defense
The 92 series originated in 1975 (production 1976), featuring open-slide, falling-block locking, DA/SA trigger, and 15-round capacity—adopted as the U.S. M9 in 1985. Compact variants like the 92SB Compact (1981) and 92FS Compact shortened barrel/grip for better carry
In 2019, Beretta announced the 92X family at SHOT Show 2019 (full lineup unveiled; 92X compact detailed July 2019 via Beretta press and The Firearm Blog). It standardized the Vertec-style thin frame (modular grips: standard + wraparound), Xtreme-S trigger (40% shorter reset), high-visibility dovetailed sights, beveled mag well, oversized reversible mag release, and universal slide (convertible FS/G decocker-only). The Compact mates a 4.25" chrome-lined barrel (Centurion-length) to a shorter frame (5.25" height, 13+1 capacity), weighing ~27–28 oz unloaded—ideal for concealed carry while retaining full-size ergonomics
Variants include rail (Picatinny) and non-rail models, plus later RDO optics-ready versions (2022+). Priced ~$700–$900 MSRP, USA-made (Tennessee), it delivers low recoil, accuracy, and proven durability—revitalizing the timeless 92 for modern users seeking enhanced performance in a compact package
