I got my 92FS free as a gift but I still think the gift giver overpaid at $450. It's an early 90s inox model. Great guns but they're meant to be mass production disposable tools, it's the metal Glock lol.

I wish it had the Langdon Tactical optic cut, hate the Vertec grip. Love the rest. Need an all stainless-steel frame. A Brigadier slide with an LTT Optics mount in SS would really be the Shiz! Short reset trigger is a must.
If I'm in a self defense situation I just want to draw the gun and pull the trigger. I don't want to have to remember to disengage the safety while I'm busy crapping my pants.
As some one who loves stainless 1911's and the 92x's.. this speaks to me.. Lol. Please Berretta, just offer stainless 92's.. No dual tone crap, make them all in that nice stainless-ish cerakote, maybe offer a black one for the tacticool guys but yeah.. I want a launch edition just for the finish, I doubt I'll get one tho.
Definitely nice to see another offering come to the market, but maybe too little too late? Time will tell if it’ll compete with other SAO pistols in the market.
I just bought my 92XI tonight so haven’t shot it. As some reviewers have said, the trigger is subpar. I looked at 2 guns, and they both have a distinct crunch right before you get to the wall. After that it is smooth, but I expected better. The single action pull on my M9A3 is much better - so why is the SAO trigger worse? I bought it anyway, hoping it will break in and be better. I love everything else about the gun.
I have the 92x compact and I love it BUT….. if I could get it with the ability to safely carry cocked and locked like this for around $750 that would be amazing. I have a feeling I’m going to have to wait a couple years for the price to come down bc I’m not spending a G for the 92xi. That said, Beretta, keep up the good work. Keep paying attention to the market and customer demands. But work on your pricing. Y’all are asking a bit much imo.
It's coming factory ready with the X-treme S trigger group and the base model will likely retail for $850 or so. Considering how much SIG is asking for the SAO Legion, that's a reasonable price.
@@gutblaster187 Single action restricts what competition divisions you can use it in, the Sigs are not pigeon holed to the same extent, which is most of the reason why the prices are so high.
@@TheSuburban15 I'm not sure if I understand your comment. A classic DA/SA P-226 has no thumb safety (cannot be carried cocked and locked) yet runs at least over $800, depending on the version. The 226 Legion SAO runs consistently over a grand. Which SIGs are you referring to?
Buying a launch edition this week. Always dreamed of owning an M9 since playing CoD 4 as a kid, and that would be an incredible piece to keep around forever.
So, I really like Beretta pistols. I have an M9 A4 and a 92x compact RDO. I love both of these pistols. They shoot great and look awesome! Now I’m getting to the punchline. I have another 92x compact that I had some trouble with. Called Beretta customer support and they said send it in and we’ll fix it. That conversation was initiated in April of last year. The pistol was received at their facility in the first week of May. You guessed it! …….it’s now 2023 and still no pistol. They are oh so polite when I speak to them on the phone, but no substantive answer as to when I get it back. I would really love to get this new version of the 92x with frame safety, but I’m scared to death that something might be wrong with it. I’ve owned many firearms from many different manufacturers over years. I can honestly say, without equivocation, that Beretta customer support is the most polite, but absolutely the least effective at solving warranty repair issues of any company in the industry!
I believe their warranty repair issues stem mainly from not letting staff take responsibility for making their own call on customer concerns and also failures of Q.C on assembly and production. They are trying to hard to get the numbers up and letting defects get out the door. Perfect weapons seldom get sent back for rework. Maybe that hasn't sunk in or is not being promoted as a company standard.
Now if Beretta would just drop that micro-9 single stack Nano leftover they call the APX Carry and make an actual P365/Hellcat competitor then I'd be impressed.
If I want ccw Beretta, I sure as F don't pickup my 92FS lol, I grab my Beretta Nano. Why use 1900s guns for ccw in the 2020s, there are far better modern options. Buy a handgun designed AFTER your birth year.
sorry, a competition gun must have steel frame. this 92xi with aluminum frame is a no go, 92x performance is still king. which is too bad, cuz that MSRP is very attractive.
I've been asking for an updated Cheetah for years. And I know a lot of people were happy to see the frame-mounted safety on the 92X Performance (though I'm not a fan of safeties in general; I run a 92G, so de-cocker only). This SAO version will surely please a number of people, though. I will say the MSRP on both this and the Cheetah 80X are a little steep compared to competitors, so I am a little worried they may flop and be quietly discontinued. Hopefully street price is quite a bit cheaper.
I personally prefer the slide-mounted safety over this design (I know, so controversial), but I'm glad Beretta is offering these kinds of options for people who want them.
Gun looks cool! Personally not for me though. I'll be a bit more excited when they regular 92X gets a frame-mounted decocker/safety. It's been longggggg overdue.
You're not getting a Taurus style decocker on this gun. They've released multiple Italian models with the frame safety so they've haven't needed to design anything new for this.
@@derschwarzgeist I see that's more peopular than I thought. So essentially you want to primarily run single action but have DA as a backup just in case. Have at it! I'd prefer a longer first trigger pull over a thumb safety.

@DerAtorak I was wondering that too. If the trigger and hammer were swapped out for standard 92X/92FS triggers and hammers (maybe another part or two might be necessary also--disonnector?) I don't see why it would not work, but I'm not an expert and don't know for certain. I would like to see a 92 (not the Performance) with the option to carry cocked and locked or in DA like a CZ-75, but it might take some time to get one of those.
Current count - 92fs, New beretta 80x, 92a1, 92x Performance (all variants) Apx A1 = made in Italy. The rest is TN built Russian roulette “which Billybob was working on the line that day that didn’t get hammered after a fight with the in-laws?” Got it😂
I wonder if anything can be done about the pre-travel. I have an LTT trigger job with the match hammer option on a 92X RDO Centurion, and there is only about a few mm of slack. On the downside though it's pretty easy to double-tap by accident.
Making an already perfect gun even better !! Love Beretta. Had them since 1989. I guess I am going to get Beretta #7. Please bring back the Beretta 9000.
If you want this, HK has been offering it since the 90s in the USP. You can get the USP with frame safety and decocker, plus a full size hammer AND get the SAO mechanism, it's like Legos, make the trigger/firing mechanism you want. There's like 7 district trigger options. Germans always leading the Italians around...
About time for a SAO!!!! The pre travel and creep of the trigger does not make it compelling enough to get it unless they clean it up or someone mercifully puts out an aftermarket trigger. How much better is it than a cocked double action?
less moving parts, triggers are always better with less moving parts. Never have to deal with that long and heavy DA pull bc the gun only works when the hammer is cocked like a 1911.

less moving parts, triggers are always better with less moving parts. Never have to deal with that long and heavy DA pull bc the gun only works when the hammer is cocked like a 1911.
Nope, not for $1100. You can buy a Wilson or Langdon for slightly more and those are far superior to anything factory from Beretta.
