The big change on all of the aluminum-framed models is the grip.
With each of the slide-mounted action lever models of the 92X series, the user can swap between the F/S and G models easily, all on their own. That’s why just about everyone wants not a safety, but a “de-cock only” G model lever. In a self defense or combat situation, that error can be a deadly one. I’ve seen people rack the slide and accidentally turn the safety on many times, and I’ve certainly done it myself. I share a deep and abiding hatred of it as well and consider it entirely unsafe on a duty or carry weapon.
#Beretta centurion series
One of the biggest complaints with the Beretta 92 series has always been its slide-mounted safety. The flat surface of the front also meant that I had no issues racking the slide on my belt, pocket, or heel. The rear is slightly angled and provides an ideal window to view whatever front sight you choose to put on the pistol. The rear dovetailed sight includes a serrated back surface and a short ledge on the front. Beretta 92X Compact with Pic rail (courtesy Beretta) For those of us who carry IWB, the smooth dust cover is often preferred. However, the 92X Compact comes in a version with the Pic rail as well as another one with the traditional featureless dust cover. Suppressor-ready barrels can be ordered directly from Beretta.Įvery version of new 92X series comes with a three-slot Picatinny rail. The 92X series features a chrome-lined barrel with the recessed target crown standard. I had a recessed target crown put on my 92FS from Wilson Combat a few years ago. The pistols ship with a bright orange front sight right out of the box. With the 92X series it’s just out with the old and in with the new. Getting a Tritium front sight installed on a 92FS was possible, but not simple. That means not only easy adjustment, but tons of options are available.
#Beretta centurion full
Starting at the front, each of the 92X Full Size, Centurion, and Compact pistols now include a dovetailed M9A3 compatible front sight. There are more than a couple changes to the guns, and all for the better. Each of one of them maintains the key features loved by thousands of shooters, but updates them all with options we’ve been looking for on a stock gun for decades.Īt the invite of Beretta, I spent a day at Elite Shooting Sports putting a few hundred rounds through each of the new 92X series of pistols. JWT for TTAGĪvailable beginning today, Beretta has released a full suite of new 92X guns. I wasn’t the only one who loved the gun, but wanted changes.īeretta, it seems, was paying attention. Different grips, different sights, barrels re-crowned, barrels threaded, G-model conversions, Wilson Combat trigger jobs, Ernest Langdon’s “trigger job in a bag”, etc., etc., etc. Like many shooters, there are some changes I had made to my personal 92 series guns. And there’s no more proven combat and duty pistol than the 92. There’s no pistol I’d rather go back to war with than a Beretta 92 series. It was the first gun I ever ran the Bill Wilson 5×5 drill with in under 20 seconds.
I don’t think I changed the recoil spring for the first 10,000 at least.
When I got home, I logged 30,000 rounds through a single 92FS. I put thousands and thousands of rounds through the 92 in one of the most hostile environments on Earth.
