Key Features of the Beretta 92X Performance Defensive

1. Full Steel Frame for Maximum Stability

The 92X Performance Defensive features a full steel Vertec frame, offering superior balance and recoil management. Unlike aluminum-framed models, the all-steel construction adds weight, reducing muzzle rise and improving follow-up shot accuracy.

2. Competition-Optimized Trigger System

Beretta has fine-tuned the Extreme-S Trigger Mechanism, ensuring a crisp break with a short reset. This single-action/double-action (SA/DA) trigger system provides smooth pulls for precise shot placement, ideal for IDPA, USPSA, and IPSC competitions.

3. Optics-Ready Slide for Red Dot Compatibility

The Beretta 92X Performance Defensive is red dot-ready, featuring an optics-cut slide that allows shooters to mount their preferred RMR, Holosun, or Leupold DeltaPoint sights. This feature is crucial for fast target acquisition in competitive shooting scenarios.

4. Enhanced Grip & Ergonomics

With aggressive front and rear checkering on the grip, the 92X Performance Defensive ensures a firm hold even in rapid-fire situations. The Vertec-style grip accommodates a variety of hand sizes, making it comfortable for extended shooting sessions.

5. Skeletonized Hammer & Adjustable Sights

The skeletonized hammer enhances lock time, reducing delay for more accurate shots.
Fully adjustable fiber-optic front sight and black serrated rear sight provide quick target alignment in both bright and low-light conditions.

6. Competition-Ready Magazines

Each Beretta 92X Performance Defensive comes with two 15-round magazines, specifically designed for fast reloads. The extended baseplates allow for easy magazine handling during high-speed drills or competition scenarios.

7. DLC-Coated Barrel for Durability

The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated 4.9-inch barrel increases wear resistance, reduces friction, and enhances performance. This ensures a long-lasting, reliable firearm capable of withstanding thousands of rounds.
