Thank you for a great review. Just subbed
Thanks
Nice video. I had the pleasure to shoot the Beretta 92X Performance at the 2019 IPSC European Handgun Championship on Belgrade, Serbia in September before the gun was available on the market. I thank Beretta and Roberto Vezzoli, Beretta Team Member, for loaning me his personal Beretta 92X Performance for the competition. The 92X Performance was designed as IPSC competition gun. All the design changes and enhancements made to basic 92 design for the 92X Performance where all with the view of making the gun a great competition gun. Simple as that. As an example, the reason why the safety is on the frame rather than on the slide, is because it is easier and faster to engage and disengage compared to the safety on the slide such as on the M9A3. You can also rest your thumb on the safety to ensure that the safety is never accidentally engaged which would be a real downer during competition. You can also apply pressure to the safety to help control the gun's recoil so it helps with recoil management.
The Brigadier slide was use so to add weight to the gun to help with recoil management. As a result the recoil is softer with the 92X compared to the M9A3 and the muzzle flip reduced due to the added weight. And the Brigadier slide is wider, the taken down lever was enlarged to make it easier to activate the lever but there is another use for it. The enlarged takedown lever and be used as a thumb rest giving the 92X an advantage over other IPSC or USPSA Production competition guns. A thumb rest allows to to put forward and downward pressure on the frame to help keep the muzzle down during fast shooting hence reducing / controlling the muzzle flip.
So, all the design enhancements on 92X Performance in comparison to the M9A3 are for competition reasons but that is not to say that the 92X could not be a carry on. It most certainly could be. The key is that you need to practice regularly with the 92X to ensure you are extremely use to and comfortable with the very light trigger pulls both in SA and DA.
There really is no comparison between the two guns. M9A3 is a very nice handgun and was designed for military / law enforcement purposes. The 92X Performance was designed for competition and is a finely tuned gun making it a much more accurate gun especially when shooting fast. Check out my First Impressions video on the Beretta 92X Performance as it is a nice complimentary video to this one - th-cam.com/video/e0nh25D-WbM/w-d-xo.html .
why choose if I have 2 hands...
I’m sold because of one thing alone.....frame mounted safety that goes in the right direction
The safety on the 92X performance is amazing, but the M9A3's safety is also top notch, just different.
i always laugh when youtube folks make a point of showing the audiance that the gun is safe, as if it's not, the bullet will reach out over the net and hit a viewer. great comparison .
Daniel W I think it’s more to avoid the comments getting flooded with people complaining if you don’t show.
I was about to say the same........Fuck youtubers, I don't have to show viewers SHIT! cry baby pussies!
TH-cam will block if not shown
@@RickyBChevy wrong. Where did you come up with that crap.
I own the m9a3 and because of your video my wallet just got lighter again. Picking up the 92x tomorrow. Thank you for the detailed video!
Thanks for the info I bought the M9A3 recently and now I want the 92X Extreme.
I still favor the feature set of the M9A3. I can shoot suppressed out of the box with the threaded barrel. I also like that the "g" model has only the decocker. The standard night sights are a plus as well. How do the prices compare?
M9A3 is great! The MSRP is about $1,300 for the 92X Performance and the M9A3 mught is about $999 but you might be able to get it for a bit less.
Great review! I am wanting to purchase a new M9A3 soon and I really enjoyed the comparison! The finest camera holding devise of any review!
I just bought an M9A3 for 800. I'm so excited to get it
had em both. wanted an m9a3 pretty bad, snagged it up, sold it after I got a 92x performance. I think my m9a3 had a smoother slide/ action, however, once my 92xp get's broken in, perhaps it will be just as smooth. I would have liked my 92xp to have come with a third mag as does the m9a3 and I would have liked the mags to have been 17rnd mags like the m9, especially since it's a gun aimed at competition. I prefer the frame mounted safety on the 92 but I had no issues with the g decocker on the m9. I like the heavier weight of the 92, I like the thick slide, I think the extended thumbrest/takedown lever could have been extended a bit more for its intended purpose. It's extended enough to be annoying and that comes from a person with small hands. I like the trigger guard on the m9 better and I do appreciate the treaded barrel, but if you're in a state where you can't get a suppressor, (you probably can't get either gun anyway) it doesn't really make a difference. I like the versatility though and you can order a threaded barrel that will drop in anyway. I love the forward serrations of the 92 and I love the finish. I don't appreciate the safety warning markings all over it, but the gun looks so nice that I happily ignore them. The trigger on the m9a3 really is not bad at all. You have to be pretty nit picky to say much bad about it for what it is. The 92 does have a shorter reset, more clear of a wall, etc. But again, it's a premium, competition pistol. I will probably get another m9a3, but if I could only keep one (in which I did), I'd keep the 92x performance. It's one of the few pieces I have that I really do drool over.
Love my M9a3. I polished the interenals now the trigger feels amazing for being stock. The 92x has popped up on my radar now...
Like you I am a big beretta fan and just purchased a 92 brigadier. I have never had an issue, like most, with the slide mounted safety. The brigadier has a thicker slide and is a heavier gun than the 92fs. Other than the safety and the grip, what are the differences between the performance and the brigadier? I hope not much because if there is I know that I will be asked the eternal question...”just how many guns do you need?”
Thank you for reaching out! I know they made subtle changes but I am not exactly 100% sure what they are from the brigadier. I know if you reach out to Beretta that can probably email you all the specs of each with the differences. Make sure to subscribe! I have great videos on the way.
the deal breaker for me on the 92X performance is the blued barrel and no decocker. Been told the recoil impulse is similar to the CZ shadow2. I don't like the fact the CZ nose is heavy because it causes pistol to dip too far down causing slower follow up shots.
It seems like no one has address the awesome extra undercut in front of the trigger guard for your support hand that is amazing and I haven't seen too many gun makers do it
Do you actually hold a finger on the front if the trigger guard? Haven’t really seen anyone to that in a long time.
The reason they moved the safety has nothing to do with cocking the slide. It’s a competition gun so they emulated a 1911 action so shooters can bypass the heavier DA pull and shoot immediately with the light, shirt SA pull. Also, muscle memory is familiar with the 1911 in taking the safety off.
The 911's are amazing! good to know benjamin, thanks! Make sure to subscribe for new videos coming soon!!!
The original Beretta 92 design had the safety on the frame.
The frame mounted safety makes this decision easy for me. I hate the slide mounted safety. This 92 x reminds me of my old Berettas, which I greatly prefer.
Old School all day!!! 84FS Cheetah was one of my favorites!
Pro Force Security yep. Me too. Sometimes I still carry my 85 b.
Excellent review. I have the M9A3 like yours, and am considering the 92x performance. By the way, nice Planet Ocean!
Thank you, it's my favorite watch. Good eye!Lol. The 92X Performance will NOT dissapoint👍
Hey! This might be your second video but you did it great... I really enjoyed this comparisson and you just got a new subscriber...
Thank you Alejandro! I really appreciate it👍
I have the m9a3 and loved it from the start! My favorite beretta I’ve ever had ! Love the handle etc and feel. But when I heard about this gun the 92X I kind of wish I had waited but I guess I’ll have to break down and eventually get this near perfect specimen of a gun too! Always wanted a beretta with the brigadier slide AND with the vertec handle and this has both plus a steel frame! Can’t beat it , except the weight will be heavy but who cares unless your a police officer or full time carry which this gun is probably too nice for that anyway lol!!
Congrats on you M9A3! even though they have many differences, they also share many similarities and are both great! you can't go wrong with Either. Hit that subscribe button for new updates! Great vids will be out soon.
The X-treme S trigger group from the 92X Performance can be bought from Beretta for $200 or for $120 from a couple places.
Frame mounted safety for the win!
No doubt, great feature! make sure to subscribe for new videos on the way.
Can’t believe I’m just finding your channel and subscribing now. Where have you been? Enjoy detail and honesty brother. Great review.
Thank you Rodney, I really appreciate it. I have great new videos on the way, hope you enjoy👍
What a good video and comparison ! I really enjoyed it ! Wish you thousands and thousands of subscribers ! Yeah 🤟🏻 !
Thank you so much TUSCAN, I really appreciate it! Make sure to subscribe for new videos coming soon!
You did a great job with the video by the way. All the best with your channel and I will subscribe. You will do well. 👍🏾 Your right about the Cz shadow 2. It’s a great gun too. I looked at that too before I made my purchase. I could have bought the CZ shadow right away but decided to wait however long it’s going to take to get my Beretta 92x.
Thank yo Nashim, I appreciate that. The Shadow 2 is an excellent pistol, hands down. But the 92X perfomance is definitely worth the wait too.
Pro Force Security Thank you. That’s how I feel. 👌🏾
Excellent video for this being only your second TH-cam video. I love Berettas and as soon as the Langdon Tactical 92FS is back in stock I plan to get my copy. Hopefully you can do a review of the LTT 92FS
I have the 92X Performance on order, wait for it to come in! Nice video!
Congrats! You are going to love it.
I am waiting also
Pleasure to see another Beretta fan. Say, in your opinion, does the Brigadier slide on the 92x Performance (or standard Brigadier 92FS for that matter) decrease the recoil due to its weight or increase it, cause there's more steel being pushed back towards the wrist and such?
Subscriber earned :)
Im in love with these
I have 2 videos up of the 92X Performance Trigger with the LTT Trigger Bar.
Anything LTT speaks for itself! Great mod.
I have shot with both. While 92x-performance is a super nice looking gun, it does not deliver a right weight balance for shooting. The M9A3 also has some deficiencies. With some upgrades/mortification M9A3 will be a much better gun to shoot. I solely shot with them in competitions, and can't talk about their performance as a self-defense or combative mean.
I’ve got the black m9a3 with a Langdon trigger job in a bag and the optimized trigger bar that has a super short reset & I love it. But the 92x performance is absolutely beautiful. Did you try to interchange the mags just to see if they’ll seat in the gun? I’d be interested to see that.
That's a great choice that you went with! Yes, I just tried interchanging the mags, and both mags fit perfectly on either one; and they do cycle the rounds. However, I have not tried firing them yet. I will contact Beretta first before doing so, just to make sure it is ok on either pistol.
92X Performance is the ultimate 92 variant, up there with the old Billennium. Price reflects it too. Both of these are great.
Great Review 92x is a beautiful gun
Thanks, it really is a great gun. Make sure to subscribe for new content on the way!!!
Yes all magazines are interchangeable on the 92 platforms.
Thanks that's what I wanted to know. I have a bunch of the m9a3 mags and would want to use them on the 92x performance
I removed the gas pedal takedown lever from my 92X Performance and replaced it with a normal one. Also having fixed Tritium night sights made for it.
Nicely done Stay with it, bro
I just subscribed great review you know your stuff
6:32 it comes with 15 round mags because it is an IPSC Production-compliant gun.
Great video! How does it the beavertail feel on the 92x? From pictures, it appears to be bigger and curve farther down than the other 92 models.
Thank you! Yes, the beavertail slightly extends further out. The handle is wider and feels A LOT heavier than any 92 in the past.
@@ProForceSecurity Good to know, thanks! This is pretty out there, but is the slide compatible with the 92a3 frame and vice versa? I doubt it, but I'm real curious.
Beretta 92 X Performance. The only pistol I would pay $1400 for. When I spend $1400 I usually buy AR's. I have to get this when it becomes available again. It's sold out on every Gun site I visited.
Great review and great watch. I am an Omega fan myself (Darkside of the Moon and Aqua Terra)
Thank you! Yeah Omegas are great, Darkside of the moon is one of my all time favorites, and the Aqua Terras are very nice also.
Great job my friend you help me a lot to make the decision but I end up buying the 2 of them but 92x was really hard to get
my only complaint about the beretta is the blued barrel not good!! They should have nitrited it. also for ccw the beretta would be too heavy for most kydex to hold it securely because if you trip and fall the guns hefty weight could result in it falling out of waistband
92X PERFORMANCE, the most beautiful 92 ever.
Pooh, I love the sexy contours these finely figured Italians have. The smoothness of the actions, the cravenous appetite for action.
Solid review... Beretta why would you spend that much $$ to redesign/refresh to this 92X Per. version and not offer a red dot option if it is supposed to be a comp. type pistol... other then that I would really like to have one, but not without a plate. Also the mag. capacity stinks... 17 minimum for the regular mag, and should give you one or two with + 2 or + 4 capacity...
Thanks! You should look into the APX TARGET. Removable plate for optics, designed for competition, brings 4 mags, and looks amazing! Make sure to subscribe to the channel for great videos coming next week!!!

Wish this had a decocker. Nice piece. I bet you paid retail
Yes, I did. Its gonna stay that way for a while. The 92X Performance is on high demand right now.
i can tell you are from Miami just by the way talk bro lol, good video man keep it up!
You can use the M9 magazine in the 92X Performance.
Thx for a great review, any information on the accuracy of the beretta 92x performance. whats the size of a rested five 5 shot group at 25 yards?
I have both
How did you get a hold of one of these? Not out yet, I thought.
I placed my order a long time ago, but I'm sure luck had a lot to do with it also.
Sflboater100 They’re certainly out. I’ve spoken with Beretta and they have hit the US. People are getting theirs. People that put a pre order in.
Subbed. Trying to decide if the beautiful 92x is worth the stretch cash wise over the Sig Legion X5. But then the heart is aching for the Sig 1911 nightmare in .45
Great video! I want to get a 92 to match up with my CX4. Money is tight so it might take awhile.
So the 92X does not have a decock lever?
Thanks! No decocker, only safety. to decock, you have to carefully lower the hammer manually.
@@ProForceSecurity that is not true. it has both safety and decocker both
I just picked up my 92x Performance and took it to the indoor range. The sights were way off, it shot low and to the right. I had to adjust the rear sight height all the way up and windage 4 clicks to the right, and then it was sighted in. The 15 round mags that come with the gun worked perfectly, but the 17 round mags from my M9A3 would not feed reliably every other round or so, and the spent casing would stay in the barrel and the slide would stay back while trying to push the next round in. I locked the slide back, removed the magazine, then the spent case would fall out of the barrel. I looked at both magazine followers, and they are not the same. There is a curved groove on the 17 round follower, but not on the 15 round that comes with the gun. Are you having this issue?
I adjusted mi rear sights a couple of clicks because is was shooting a bit low at first, but once I adjusted it, it was great! I am using all my old mags from my 92A1, 92FS, M9A3 and it is working perfectly fine. It could be possible your mag springs could be bad but if that was the case, your M9A3 would also be jamming. I would call Beretta and see what they say. Good luck👍
I'm considering getting the 92x and selling a couple of other guns I've got but I really don't shoot very much I do have a good number of Beretta 92 mags and if this gun doesn't act reliably with Legacy magazines then I'm not going to be interested in it I'll keep my Witness Limited even though it's a 40 and just shoot that
Do you have any experience with or opinion on the Wilson combat and LTT versions of the 92?
Not directly, But I will tell you this.... the Langdon Tactical (Beretta 92 LTT) has great features and added improvements on the M9A1 wich is a gun that performs great (stock) out of the box. So it should only make the gun better! As for Wilson Combat...My AR-10 is made by Wilson and it is nothing short of excellent. They make top quality products.
Couple bad ass guns! Idk which one I like more
I'm really interested in the 92x! I have a wilson combat brig. It's super nice and accurate. I had an m9a3 and sold it. Probably should have kept it and just changed out the high ride sights. I really like that the 92x has a safety so can be carried cocked and locked. Would have to change the sights on it cause I hate fiber sights. But nbd cause it looks like that is all i would have to do!
Your american m9a3 is not of the same quality like the one made in Italy.... usa quality is lower.
IMO, the LTT bridges the M9A3 and the X perfectly.
LTT is amazing as well! Make sure to subcribe for new vids on the way!
subscribed good content 💯
The 92x looks huge for your hands
Can you do a clip about performance between M9A3 vs 92X? I wonder how different are they?
Of course! It's in the works. Make sure to subscribe for the latest updates😀
@@ProForceSecurity Thank you so much!!! Can't wait to watch your clip!!!
Which one would you buy if it's your first Beretta bro?
Tough to say...but if I had to pick one, I would go for the 92X Performance.
Great vid bro I have a 92fs inox as U know pretty heavy trigger my question does the A3 have a lighter pull than your standard 92's
The m9a3 trigger is much better than a regular 92, but the 92x is even better than that. It's the weight of the 92x that bothers me. Heavy is good but 3 pounds is too much.
Nice Planet Ocean
How the heck did you get the Beretta 92x performance 9 mm already? 😍😍😍 Put my order in last week and paid for it. Just waiting for my Beretta dealer to get one. When did you place your order and what company did you get it thru?
One of my subscribers just got their 92X Performance delivered so it may be sooner than you think! How's your order status going so far?
Pro Force Security Wow 🤩. That’s fantastic. Good for them. Do you know how long ago they put their order in? Thanks for the update. 🙏🏾 I actually have a pre order in at TWO different stores. So far neither of them can tell me when I will get it. All they can say is they’ll call me when it gets in. I do hope it’s sooner rather than later.
Is there a difference between Beretta 92X & 92X Performance please
The 92X performance is their nww standard full size pistol, while the the 92X perforance is all steel, has a lighter trigger designed competition, a longer barrel, and is a lot heavier. Make sure to subscribe for new videos coming soon!!!
The one thing I really like about the 92X Performance is that the Safety is finally the Same manual of Arms as the beloved 1911!
I would never carry a Beretta 92 series gun as I am afraid I would revert to training and put it on safe instead of taking it off safe at a critical moment.
I prefer guns with safeties!! So I would not carry a G model either.
I like my new Beretta 92X Performance but it's a little heavy to carry.
But I have a real gun belt and am using an excellent holster made by Haugen Leather.
Hope Beretta comes out with a carry version with this 1911 style safety.
I would buy one immediately!!
I am happy with my S&W M&Ps with Thumb safeties.
Also I have 10 Ring Precision install Thumb Safeties on my Glocks.
This does not void the Glock Warranty!
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking a safety slows you down!
Cheers
I think it was time to be different or they started to listen to their patrons. Either way - great firearms.
M9a3 G model way to guy, loving all my wilson combat beretta variants but the stainless beretta is my next choice
Thanks for the good review. 👍
I have had the M9 A3 for a while I think I prefer it over 92x I wish it had the 92 x sights and Trigger though I still don't think any Beretta will beat the CZ Shadow 2 that gun is just awesome
Except for the overly long trigger reach
great review
Thank you! I'm glad to hear.
😂 bob lee is cool but I will stick with John wick
I like hk handguns myself but I always admire the berettas an that 92x preference does look sweet
🤣good choice! You can't go wrong with either one though
ProForceSecurity thanks I don’t own a beretta but always thought about it but never really went with the idea
But the 92x performance might change that
great review ++
It’s really scary to see what the gun is going for on gunbroker. Currently the bid is just shy of $1600.00 and there is still 4 days left on the suction. Fortunately for myself I’m not out of my mind. 😂😂I’m not paying an extra $400 or more over MSRP. I’d just personally feel silly and taken. Lol. That’s just me tho.
I hear you man. It is like me right now; I have been after an M17 commemorative for a while long time but still no luck. But don't give up. keep trying!
Pro Force Security Thanks. You’ll get your M17. It’ll be worth the wait. 👍🏾
Só máquinas top!!
a pistola é incrível
I just bought an M9A3 from gunprodeals and so far prefer it's features (and price) The black and silver color scheme sure is gorgeous, though.
Sweet!
Thanks
For a range gun and possibly HD, would you pick the 92x performance over the LTT?
92X Performance all day.
Jaja. Agreed. Make sure to subscribe for new videos coming soon!!!
Nice!
Forgot to mention speed of mag changes with the release extension, and beveled mag well entrance on the X
Can you compare M9A3 with regular
92X please.
i got a 92F that i bought around 1985. i havent been into shooting now for 20 years...maybe longer. these 2 models are new to me. can you tell me the difference between my 92F and the 2 featured in this video? thank you
Lefty huh! Nice guns bro!
Can u please do a comparison with 92X not 92x performance
How you de-cock the 92X, I don't understand. Manually? Is not that dangerous?
I've literally been scrolling the comments for this answer! When would you actually fire this is DA if it doesn't have a decoker?
Subbed good review
Thank you👍
Just bought mine today 92X performance. This is my very first gun, is the kickback strong?
Linda as armas🗡 💀 é Top 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
ambos são ótimos e atiram excelente!
Wish is more trustworthy as a self defense weapon??
the 96A1 has the same lanyard loop on the bottom... looped with a steel cable thru the desk to a small pad lock, legally allowed to be displayed in the open. Canadian thing, too bad for the 92x... .40 doesn't kick, but the heavier spring closes the slide quick. double taps triples... very naturally! how ever always on back order, unlike the m9's.
Awesome video.
That M9A3 🤤
When you bought your 92x performance did you look at the barrel to see if it was not centered?
I'm looking to get my first home defense pistol and have been heavily leaning towards the M9A3. Is there a varient of the 92X that you (or anyone) thinks would be better than the M9A3 for home defense?
Can u please do M9A3 Vs bretta 92X
thanks
Where can you pick up the 92x?? Can’t find anywhere to get one
