Beretta 92X Performance grips
The Beretta 92X Performance is a competition-oriented flagship in the legendary Beretta 92 family, engineered for speed, accuracy, and dynamic shooting dominance
The Beretta 92 series originated in 1975 (production 1976), with open-slide, falling-block locking, and DA/SA trigger—evolving through 92F (1985, U.S. M9 adoption) and modern 92X updates (2019) incorporating Vertec thin grips, rails, and enhanced ergonomics
Responding to competitive shooters' demands for an "out-of-the-box" race gun, Beretta unveiled the 92X Performance at IWA Outdoor Classics in March 2019 (Nuremberg, Germany), with North American debut at NRA Annual Meetings (April 2019) and full release late summer 2019
It combines a full steel Vertec frame (for stability) with heavier Brigadier slide (~1,350 g / 47.6 oz unloaded) to minimize muzzle rise and recoil. Standout features: Xtreme-S trigger (40% shorter reset, ~1.5 kg SA / 3 kg DA), skeletonized hammer, fiber-optic front sight, adjustable rear sight, front/rear slide serrations, extended beavertail, checkered frame, oversized mag release, beveled mag well, and steel recoil rod
Priced ~$1,399 MSRP, it excels in IPSC/USPSA Production divisions with proven reliability, low recoil, and match-grade accuracy—later spawning variants like Carry Optic, Defensive, and Dark Series (2022+). The 92X Performance revitalizes Beretta's heritage for elite competitive performance
