“Beretta is well known globally for offering several lauded, military-grade pistols. Over the years, many passionate shooters have customized their Beretta pistols to take part in shooting competitions.

Now, the 92X Performance delivers an unmatchable performance right out-of-the-box to the excitement of the entire shooters' community worldwide. Excellence does not accept compromises, and it requires collaboration with best-in-class partners.
