Beretta 92

Built in the USA, and customized by hand, the Elite Compact is the better Beretta for EDC.

Beretta is expanding their time-tested 92 series with five new models that make up the new line of 92X guns all chambered for 9mm Luger.

The Elite LTT (Langdon Tactical Technology) was introduced by Beretta in 2018. In a brilliant move, Big Beretta let genius firearms trainer, Ernest Langdon, design a handgun. I don’t use the “G” word lightly. The Elite LTT is recognized in the highest Beretta Circles as the ultimate 92.

The trigger is the primary interface between shooter and handgun. The pull weight, angle, and length of the trigger are all critical variables in the ability of the shooter to break the shot without moving the sights. This is the very essence of marksmanship in any sport.

To this day, my trusty Beretta 92 FS is among my favorites. Well used, with holster wear on all the rights spots, I can pretty much guarantee that it’s never going to leave my “go-to” collection. In fact, I’ve bought a second threaded barrel so I can shoot it suppressed and added Crimson Trace Lasergrips to modernize it a bit. Given my good experience with the full size 92 FS, I was keen to try the new and smaller 92 Compact model.

The new AAC Illusion provides a new twist on the traditional silencer design–a tubular can with a shape that means you won’t need new sights. And we’ve found some new 9mm ammo that runs clean in suppressors. Read the review.

Steel frame, adjustable sights, polished barrel, laser micro-pattern engraving on the slide, wood-grips with dedicated medal, safety on the frame, premum-grade finishing and a special metal packaging enrich this model to create a truly unique masterpiece.

Let’s assume you have some rimfire rounds on hand–and I know some of you do–what should you do with them? For those of you with an M9, I’d suggest this conversion kit. If you have the ammo, it makes training with the Beretta practical and economical.

Beretta has just released news of the M9A3, a major new development in the race for the replacement for the M9. What makes this version of the venerable 92 different? Read Beretta’s release…
