Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Beretta 92 Pistols In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every 92 shares the same basic mechanism, so the choice comes down to frame, trigger system, size, and features. Here is how to sort them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safety, Decocker, Or Neither<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Classic 92FS and M9-style guns use a slide-mounted safety\/decocker. Push it down and the hammer drops safely, and the trigger is disconnected until you flip it up. G-models such as the Wilson 92G and LTT guns are decock-only, so the lever springs back to fire. Race guns like the 92XI SAO line are single-action only with a frame safety. Pick the system you will train with, because it changes your draw stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trigger Feel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A stock 92 has a long, heavy double-action first shot and a light single action after that. Our 92 Compact reviewer called the DA pull revolver-like at around 12 pounds and measured the single action at 4.75 pounds. Custom guns smooth that out: the Wilson 92G broke at 4 pounds 3 ounces single action in our test. Beretta’s 92 GTS uses a twin sear that decocks to half-cock for a lighter double-action pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size: Full Size, Centurion, Or Compact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Full-size 92s have a 4.9-inch barrel and are 8.5 inches long. Compact and Centurion-style guns cut that to 4.25 inches and 7.75 inches. The 92 Compact holds 13 rounds in its own magazines but also runs full-size mags. None of them are small. Our Wilson reviewer found the 92G slightly larger than a Glock 19 and noticeably heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frame Material And Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most 92s use an aluminum alloy frame at around 33 ounces. The 92X Performance family uses an all-steel Vertec frame, and the Carry Optic version is listed at 47.6 ounces. Weight is your friend for recoil control and competition, and your enemy on a belt all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optics, Rails, And Threaded Barrels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Newer models like the 92 GTS, M9A4, 92X RDO, and 92X Performance Carry Optic are optics-ready, and many current guns have accessory rails for a weapon light. Threaded barrels are common on the M9A4 and the OD Green 92FS. If you want a red dot, buy an optics-ready gun rather than milling a slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magazines And Holsters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Factory 92 magazines are steel, and capacity ranges from 10 to 22 rounds depending on the model and base pad. Surplus M9 magazines run in many models. Holsters do not always cross over: our 92 Compact reviewer noted that rounded and squared dust covers and rails change the fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Beretta 92 Pistols Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92FS: Best Classic 92 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92FS is the best place to start for most buyers because it is the gun that made the 92 famous. It is the full-size, alloy-frame, DA\/SA pistol with a slide-mounted safety\/decocker, a 4.9-inch barrel, and 15-round magazines. Our 92 Compact reviewer has put somewhere near 10,000 rounds through his own 92FS and said it eats every bullet profile and weight he has fed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta OD Green 92FS coverage (launch news)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeretta still offers new variations. Its 2025 OD Green 92FS adds a Cerakote finish, a threaded 1\/2×28 barrel, and a reversible magazine release while keeping the same 33.3-ounce, 8.5-inch platform, and our news coverage listed it at a starting MSRP of $799 at launch. The 92FS is heavy and wide for carry, but it is soft shooting, famously reliable, and easy to find used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 15 rounds (10-round versions available)<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.9 in (threaded 1\/2×28 on OD Green model)<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 8.5 in<\/li>\n
- Height: 5.5 in<\/li>\n
- Weight: 33.3 oz unloaded<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA, slide-mounted safety\/decocker<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $799 at launch (2025 OD Green)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Proven military and police design<\/li>\n
- Very soft shooting<\/li>\n
- Huge used market and parts support<\/li>\n
- Threaded barrel on current OD Green version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Large and heavy for carry<\/li>\n
- Long, heavy double-action first shot<\/li>\n
- Slide safety is not for everyone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWilson Combat Beretta 92G: Best Custom Duty 92 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Wilson Combat Beretta 92G is the best custom 92 for duty and home defense. Bill Wilson’s team builds on a Centurion-length gun with a modified M9A1-style frame and a rounded trigger guard, then adds a decock-only G lever, improved slide-to-frame fit, a Wilson Battlesight U-notch rear, an Ameriglo tritium front, and thin grips with an arched backstrap. It ships with two 17-round magazines and one 20-round magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Wilson Combat Beretta 92G review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer ran a wide range of ammo through it with no reliability problems and measured a crisp 4-pound 3-ounce single action. Over three or four range trips he became a fan and seriously considered buying it, calling it a great bedside gun with a 20-round magazine and a weapon light. The MSRP was $1,385 at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 17 rounds (two 17-round and one 20-round magazine included)<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.25 in<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 7.75 in<\/li>\n
- Weight: 33.2 oz empty<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA, decock-only<\/li>\n
- Trigger: 4 lb 3 oz single action (as measured in our review)<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $1,385 at the time of review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Excellent sights and trigger<\/li>\n
- Decock-only simplicity<\/li>\n
- Three magazines including a 20-rounder<\/li>\n
- Proven reliable in our testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Pricey for a 92<\/li>\n
- Heavier than a polymer compact<\/li>\n
- Custom-shop availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLangdon Tactical 92 Elite Compact: Best 92 For Concealed Carry (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Langdon Tactical Technology 92 Elite Compact is the best Beretta 92 for concealed carry. Beretta builds it, and Ernest Langdon’s shop designs the details: a decock-only system, a smooth LTT trigger job, super-thin VZ\/LTT G10 grips, a dovetailed fiber optic front sight, a stainless 4.25-inch barrel with a target crown, and a flush mainspring cap. It weighs 28.5 ounces unloaded and ships with three 15-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full LTT 92 Elite Compact review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer called it a better Beretta. The smooth double action and short reset make the DA-to-SA transition easy, and he rang steel at 50 yards and said 100 yards is very doable. It also runs on surplus M9 magazines, which protrude below the grip. The baseline Elite Compact sold for $1,253 on the LTT website at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 15 rounds (three magazines included)<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.25 in stainless with target crown<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 7.75 in<\/li>\n
- Weight: 28.5 oz unloaded<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA, decock-only<\/li>\n
- Sights: Dovetailed fiber optic front<\/li>\n
- Price: $1,253 at the time of review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Lightest 92 here<\/li>\n
- Excellent LTT trigger work<\/li>\n
- Thin G10 grips help smaller hands<\/li>\n
- Runs surplus M9 mags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Expensive<\/li>\n
- Still large for concealed carry<\/li>\n
- Fiber optic front is not tritium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92 Compact: Best Value Compact (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92 Compact is the most affordable way to get a smaller 92. It keeps every hallmark of the full-size gun, including the open-top slide, takedown lever, lanyard ring, and safety\/decocker, with a 4.25-inch barrel and a 7.75-inch overall length. It weighs 31.6 ounces and holds 13+1 in its own steel magazines, and our reviewer found full-size 92FS magazines fit too, adding two rounds while sticking out of the grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92 Compact review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer called it a dream to shoot and exceptionally soft for a mid-size 9mm. He measured a 4.75-pound single action and a double action around 12 pounds. With a scope on the rail, his average five-shot groups ran from 1.33 inches with Sig Sauer 147-grain V-Crown to 1.68 inches with Federal 115-grain FMJ. The INOX model had an $800 MSRP at the time of the original 2017 review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 13+1<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.25 in<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 7.75 in<\/li>\n
- Height: 5.25 in<\/li>\n
- Weight: 31.6 oz<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA, safety\/decocker<\/li>\n
- Trigger: About 12 lb DA, 4.75 lb SA (as measured in our review)<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $800 (INOX) at the time of review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Very soft recoil<\/li>\n
- Accepts full-size 92 magazines<\/li>\n
- Bruniton or INOX finish<\/li>\n
- Lower price than custom compacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Heavy for its size<\/li>\n
- Holsters may not cross over from full-size 92s<\/li>\n
- Stock trigger is heavy in double action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta M9A4: Best Duty And Optics-Ready Service Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta M9A4 is the modern service-pistol version of the 92, building on the M9A3. Our launch coverage describes a bronze-finished slide and frame, a matte dark earth threaded barrel and thread protector, flat dark earth grips, and black controls. It is a DA\/SA pistol, and Beretta offered it in packages with 10-, 15-, or 18-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta M9A4 coverage (launch news)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want a full-size 92 with a rail, threaded barrel, and a modern look straight from the factory, the M9A4 is the one. The suggested price for all three magazine packages was $1,099 at launch, and our writer expected real-world pricing under $1,000. We have launch coverage, not a full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 10, 15, or 18 rounds<\/li>\n
- Barrel: Threaded, with thread protector<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92 GTS: Best Lighter Double-Action Trigger (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92 GTS changes the one thing many shooters dislike about the 92: the heavy first shot. GTS stands for the Type G decocker and twin sear trigger. Pushing up on the safety levers decocks the hammer to a half-cocked position, and the double-action pull from half-cock is much lighter than from full decock. After the first shot it runs single action with Beretta’s DLC-coated X-Treme S trigger parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92 GTS first look (SHOT Show 2024)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur SHOT Show 2024 coverage notes ambidextrous safety levers, a reversible magazine release, a full-size rail, a fiber optic front sight, a blacked-out rear, and an optics-ready slide. It has a 4.7-inch barrel, an 8.5-inch overall length, 33.3 ounces unloaded, and 10-, 15-, or 18-round magazines. It started at $899 at launch, with the wood-gripped Launch Edition at $999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 10, 15, or 18 rounds<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.7 in<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92X Performance: Best Factory Competition 92 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92X Performance is the factory race gun for 92 shooters who compete in USPSA, IDPA, or IPSC. Beretta built it entirely of steel on the Vertec frame and includes an alternate one-piece grip that changes the ergonomics. The Extreme-S trigger lets you adjust both overtravel and reset, the fully adjustable rear sight has a serrated black blade, and it ships with two 15-round magazines with thick base pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92X Performance review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer put roughly 600 rounds of range and defense ammo through it and said the trigger was at least as good as any tuned 92 he had shot, maybe the best. Speer Gold Dot 115-grain JHP shot best that day. The family has since grown into the Carry Optic, which our launch coverage listed at a $1,799 MSRP, and the Performance Optic Dark Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 15 rounds (two magazines included)<\/li>\n
- Frame: All-steel Vertec<\/li>\n
- Trigger: Extreme-S, adjustable overtravel and reset<\/li>\n
- Sights: Fully adjustable rear<\/li>\n
- Carry Optic version: 47.6 oz, $1,799 MSRP at launch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Superb trigger out of the box<\/li>\n
- Steel weight soaks up recoil<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92XI Squalo: Best Single-Action 92 Race Gun (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92XI Squalo is Beretta’s answer to the 2011 race gun trend, and it is a single-action-only 92. Our SHOT Show 2024 writer covered the race features: an extended takedown lever that works as a gas-pedal thumb rest, a flat-faced DLC X-Treme S trigger, an extended magazine release, an undercut trigger guard, aggressive G10 grips, a skeletonized hammer, and an ambidextrous safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92XI Squalo first look (SHOT Show 2024)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has a 4.7-inch barrel, an 8.5-inch overall length, and 33.3 ounces unloaded. A Toni System flared magwell and +4 extensions on all three included Mec-Gar magazines give 22 rounds each. It started at $1,299 at launch. For more SAO options, Beretta added the 92XI SAO Gara and Corsa at SHOT Show 2025 at $1,499 and $1,599 at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 22 rounds (18+4, three magazines)<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.7 in<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 8.5 in<\/li>\n
- Weight: 33.3 oz unloaded<\/li>\n
- Action: Single action only, ambidextrous safety<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $1,299 at launch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Less than many 2011s at launch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

The best Beretta 92 for most buyers in 2026 is still the classic 92FS. It is soft shooting, famously reliable, and easy to find new or used. If you want a custom duty gun, the Wilson Combat 92G is the one we would buy, and the Langdon Tactical 92 Elite Compact is the best 92 for carry. The 92 Compact is the value compact, the M9A4 is the modern service pistol, and the 92 GTS fixes the heavy first shot. For competition, choose the 92X Performance for DA\/SA or the 92XI Squalo for single action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Beretta 92 Pistols In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every 92 shares the same basic mechanism, so the choice comes down to frame, trigger system, size, and features. Here is how to sort them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safety, Decocker, Or Neither<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Classic 92FS and M9-style guns use a slide-mounted safety\/decocker. Push it down and the hammer drops safely, and the trigger is disconnected until you flip it up. G-models such as the Wilson 92G and LTT guns are decock-only, so the lever springs back to fire. Race guns like the 92XI SAO line are single-action only with a frame safety. Pick the system you will train with, because it changes your draw stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trigger Feel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A stock 92 has a long, heavy double-action first shot and a light single action after that. Our 92 Compact reviewer called the DA pull revolver-like at around 12 pounds and measured the single action at 4.75 pounds. Custom guns smooth that out: the Wilson 92G broke at 4 pounds 3 ounces single action in our test. Beretta’s 92 GTS uses a twin sear that decocks to half-cock for a lighter double-action pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size: Full Size, Centurion, Or Compact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Full-size 92s have a 4.9-inch barrel and are 8.5 inches long. Compact and Centurion-style guns cut that to 4.25 inches and 7.75 inches. The 92 Compact holds 13 rounds in its own magazines but also runs full-size mags. None of them are small. Our Wilson reviewer found the 92G slightly larger than a Glock 19 and noticeably heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frame Material And Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most 92s use an aluminum alloy frame at around 33 ounces. The 92X Performance family uses an all-steel Vertec frame, and the Carry Optic version is listed at 47.6 ounces. Weight is your friend for recoil control and competition, and your enemy on a belt all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optics, Rails, And Threaded Barrels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Newer models like the 92 GTS, M9A4, 92X RDO, and 92X Performance Carry Optic are optics-ready, and many current guns have accessory rails for a weapon light. Threaded barrels are common on the M9A4 and the OD Green 92FS. If you want a red dot, buy an optics-ready gun rather than milling a slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magazines And Holsters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Factory 92 magazines are steel, and capacity ranges from 10 to 22 rounds depending on the model and base pad. Surplus M9 magazines run in many models. Holsters do not always cross over: our 92 Compact reviewer noted that rounded and squared dust covers and rails change the fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Beretta 92 Pistols Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beretta 92FS: Best Classic 92 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92FS is the best place to start for most buyers because it is the gun that made the 92 famous. It is the full-size, alloy-frame, DA\/SA pistol with a slide-mounted safety\/decocker, a 4.9-inch barrel, and 15-round magazines. Our 92 Compact reviewer has put somewhere near 10,000 rounds through his own 92FS and said it eats every bullet profile and weight he has fed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta OD Green 92FS coverage (launch news)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beretta still offers new variations. Its 2025 OD Green 92FS adds a Cerakote finish, a threaded 1\/2×28 barrel, and a reversible magazine release while keeping the same 33.3-ounce, 8.5-inch platform, and our news coverage listed it at a starting MSRP of $799 at launch. The 92FS is heavy and wide for carry, but it is soft shooting, famously reliable, and easy to find used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWilson Combat Beretta 92G: Best Custom Duty 92 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Wilson Combat Beretta 92G is the best custom 92 for duty and home defense. Bill Wilson’s team builds on a Centurion-length gun with a modified M9A1-style frame and a rounded trigger guard, then adds a decock-only G lever, improved slide-to-frame fit, a Wilson Battlesight U-notch rear, an Ameriglo tritium front, and thin grips with an arched backstrap. It ships with two 17-round magazines and one 20-round magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reviewer ran a wide range of ammo through it with no reliability problems and measured a crisp 4-pound 3-ounce single action. Over three or four range trips he became a fan and seriously considered buying it, calling it a great bedside gun with a 20-round magazine and a weapon light. The MSRP was $1,385 at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Langdon Tactical Technology 92 Elite Compact is the best Beretta 92 for concealed carry. Beretta builds it, and Ernest Langdon’s shop designs the details: a decock-only system, a smooth LTT trigger job, super-thin VZ\/LTT G10 grips, a dovetailed fiber optic front sight, a stainless 4.25-inch barrel with a target crown, and a flush mainspring cap. It weighs 28.5 ounces unloaded and ships with three 15-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reviewer called it a better Beretta. The smooth double action and short reset make the DA-to-SA transition easy, and he rang steel at 50 yards and said 100 yards is very doable. It also runs on surplus M9 magazines, which protrude below the grip. The baseline Elite Compact sold for $1,253 on the LTT website at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta 92 Compact is the most affordable way to get a smaller 92. It keeps every hallmark of the full-size gun, including the open-top slide, takedown lever, lanyard ring, and safety\/decocker, with a 4.25-inch barrel and a 7.75-inch overall length. It weighs 31.6 ounces and holds 13+1 in its own steel magazines, and our reviewer found full-size 92FS magazines fit too, adding two rounds while sticking out of the grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92 Compact review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer called it a dream to shoot and exceptionally soft for a mid-size 9mm. He measured a 4.75-pound single action and a double action around 12 pounds. With a scope on the rail, his average five-shot groups ran from 1.33 inches with Sig Sauer 147-grain V-Crown to 1.68 inches with Federal 115-grain FMJ. The INOX model had an $800 MSRP at the time of the original 2017 review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta M9A4 is the modern service-pistol version of the 92, building on the M9A3. Our launch coverage describes a bronze-finished slide and frame, a matte dark earth threaded barrel and thread protector, flat dark earth grips, and black controls. It is a DA\/SA pistol, and Beretta offered it in packages with 10-, 15-, or 18-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta M9A4 coverage (launch news)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want a full-size 92 with a rail, threaded barrel, and a modern look straight from the factory, the M9A4 is the one. The suggested price for all three magazine packages was $1,099 at launch, and our writer expected real-world pricing under $1,000. We have launch coverage, not a full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 92 GTS: Best Lighter Double-Action Trigger (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 92 GTS changes the one thing many shooters dislike about the 92: the heavy first shot. GTS stands for the Type G decocker and twin sear trigger. Pushing up on the safety levers decocks the hammer to a half-cocked position, and the double-action pull from half-cock is much lighter than from full decock. After the first shot it runs single action with Beretta’s DLC-coated X-Treme S trigger parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92 GTS first look (SHOT Show 2024)<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our SHOT Show 2024 coverage notes ambidextrous safety levers, a reversible magazine release, a full-size rail, a fiber optic front sight, a blacked-out rear, and an optics-ready slide. It has a 4.7-inch barrel, an 8.5-inch overall length, 33.3 ounces unloaded, and 10-, 15-, or 18-round magazines. It started at $899 at launch, with the wood-gripped Launch Edition at $999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta 92X Performance is the factory race gun for 92 shooters who compete in USPSA, IDPA, or IPSC. Beretta built it entirely of steel on the Vertec frame and includes an alternate one-piece grip that changes the ergonomics. The Extreme-S trigger lets you adjust both overtravel and reset, the fully adjustable rear sight has a serrated black blade, and it ships with two 15-round magazines with thick base pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 92X Performance review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer put roughly 600 rounds of range and defense ammo through it and said the trigger was at least as good as any tuned 92 he had shot, maybe the best. Speer Gold Dot 115-grain JHP shot best that day. The family has since grown into the Carry Optic, which our launch coverage listed at a $1,799 MSRP, and the Performance Optic Dark Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta 92XI Squalo is Beretta’s answer to the 2011 race gun trend, and it is a single-action-only 92. Our SHOT Show 2024 writer covered the race features: an extended takedown lever that works as a gas-pedal thumb rest, a flat-faced DLC X-Treme S trigger, an extended magazine release, an undercut trigger guard, aggressive G10 grips, a skeletonized hammer, and an ambidextrous safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a 4.7-inch barrel, an 8.5-inch overall length, and 33.3 ounces unloaded. A Toni System flared magwell and +4 extensions on all three included Mec-Gar magazines give 22 rounds each. It started at $1,299 at launch. For more SAO options, Beretta added the 92XI SAO Gara and Corsa at SHOT Show 2025 at $1,499 and $1,599 at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Beretta 92 Pistols Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best Beretta 92 for most buyers in 2026 is still the classic 92FS. It is soft shooting, famously reliable, and easy to find new or used. If you want a custom duty gun, the Wilson Combat 92G is the one we would buy, and the Langdon Tactical 92 Elite Compact is the best 92 for carry. The 92 Compact is the value compact, the M9A4 is the modern service pistol, and the 92 GTS fixes the heavy first shot. For competition, choose the 92X Performance for DA\/SA or the 92XI Squalo for single action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget shoppers can also consider the Beretta 92X RDO<\/a>, an optics-ready alloy gun listed at $699 at launch, or the Taurus PT 92<\/a>, a Brazilian cousin of the design.
