It also gives the pistol a grip angle almost identical to a 1911. For smaller handed shooters, the Vertec provides better trigger reach and control. After trying it both ways, I found that I much prefer the Vertec grip. It adds a significant curve to the back of the grip and increases the feel of texture. Making this move slightly less controversial, Beretta also provides an alternate one-piece grip with the gun that effectively changes the entire ergonomic feel. With the naturally undercut trigger guard and the extended beavertail, getting that high grip on the gun is easy to do.īeretta also chose to build the 92X on the Vertec frame – a move that will no doubt stir up some energetic debate on the forums.
But after I settled in and took a solid high grip, I found that it shot pretty flat. My first shots with the 92X were focused on trigger and sights, more than hard grip and recoil management, and the gun was a bit jumpy. Whether this cancels out the benefit of the heavier frame in terms of recoil impulse, I will leave to each shooter to decide. It also means that more slide weight is reciprocating with each shot. It provides a different feel of balance to the handgun and is more durable to high pressures. For those unfamiliar, the Brigadier slide is significantly thicker and therefore heavier. To max out the weight, Beretta tops the 92X with a Brigadier slide. There are reasons in favor of, and against, such a heavy handgun – the most common of the former being recoil control.
All the well-known brand names that take pride in building competition pistols are making something in 9mm that approaches 50 oz. This adds significant weight, compared to the more frequent alloy frame models. With Langdon and Wilson so wellĮstablished and trusted, this means that Beretta has some fairly large shoes toįor starters, Beretta built the 92X completely out of steel. Earlier this year, Beretta announced a new model that wasĬlearly targeted toward this same buyer market.

So, the market for pre-military men and women With minimum maintenance, but those qualities don’t lend themselves very well Means it is built to lose tolerances that serve it well in harsh environments Issued model 1911 before it, the Beretta 92 was built for battle use. Soldier and 1911 beforehand, or soldier and M1 Garand.
