92x compact vs 92x centurion1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() Now, you can order a 92X as an “F” or “G” style, or you can order a conversion lever and spring kit to convert from F to G. They’ve been around forever, but you had to do a bit of legwork to get a pistol so equipped. With the 92X family, the company is also embracing the growing popularity of the “G” de-cocker only configurations. I like the new sights and find them highly visible and fast to acquire in bright or moderate lower light conditions. ![]() The front sight housing contains a dark orange dot while the rear is all black and serrated on the back side to eliminate glare. Both front and rear now mount with dovetail cuts, so if you need to adjust for windage or change out the sights completely for some other style, that’s easy. I love them.Īnother big change is in the design of the factory sights. Even when sweaty, this handgun will not move once you take a firing grip. I’d liken them to a sandpaper-like finish.

Four quick Allen screw changes and you now have a pistol with a larger grip and the classic back strap swell.

Arguably a result of competing for two different U.S. In between, the company produced its double-action/single-action PX4 line.īeretta now finds itself with an interesting, and I think compelling product mix. Beretta re-upped its effort to win the next generation contract with the APX striker-fired pistol but lost out to Sig Sauer in the end. The 90-series M9 just completed a 30-year run as the sidearm of the U.S. Since that time, we’ve seen a lot of change. Of all the pistols I’ve owned and tested, I’d be hard pressed to name one that never gave me a jam over thousands of rounds. Yes, my first carry pistol was a Beretta 92FS. Mine was full size, a bit on the heavy side and conceived in 1972, but at least it was comfortable and had generous capacity. There’s always something special about your first.
