I guess signore Bartolomeo Beretta (Maestro di canne / Master barrel gunsmith, 1.526), never thought he was giving birth a FIVE Century tradition bearing his highly respected Beretta name around the planet. Pietro Beretta was officially established as brand name in 1.832. Nowadays the Beretta family still owns their original headquarters in Gardone, Val Trompia / Italy. Beretta Holdings now owns Beretta USA, Chapuis, SAKO.Tikka, Benelli USA, Uberti, Burris Optics. And yes: I still cherish my Beretta shotguns & handguns in my collection among several others. Not for sale, thank you... 😉

[@USARightPatriot1]

I was able to get my hands on this and the silver limited edition one. Love em. Now i want the limited edition GTS. Beretta is the gun you always want, need and can rely on.

[@edbigtruck]

I have the 92FS M9-22 And I recently acquired a 92X Performance Defensive. Love my Beretta’s

[@reformedgarbage5415]

I love my beretta 92x performance. Watching lethal weapon as a kid, I have a lot of fond memories of this gun.

[@Philly1958]

The new 92xi squalo is amazing.

[@heat147]

Beretta finally did what they had to do long long time ago , with that wonderfull soft shooting platform. I hope they bring out steel + frame mounted safety PX4 with comp for practical shooring line. Thanks for the review sir.

[@richdubbya]

I love my 92XI. They get even better with an LTT trigger bar. I've been thinking about fitting a red dot, but I like the fiber sight. I slapped on a set of Lok grips for a better grip and give it some color. Great pistol.

[@Vladpryde]

Is it compatible with standard 92 series mags? I've got 14 of them. Thanks!

[@richdubbya]

@Vladpryde all the same 92 mags. You'll be golden. Not sure on the Compact 13 rounders, though.

[@c.f.leffen2929]

Thank-You, Sir. Your reviews are always educational, exceedingly interesting, and the most accurate. Few can approach your professionalism. All the Best to you and yours…

[@TRDGE]

I've been waiting for this one for so long! Thanks so much for reviewing it brother!

[@jaymack9442]

Yep That’s when I fell in love with the Beretta. Lethal Weapon

[@navchaps3449]

Beretta. So classy.

[@spacebear49]

I'll take the 92 DA/SA with a decocker. We already have the 1911 SAO. Beretta makes beautiful pistols regardless.

[@qqsrx]

As the successor to the earlier generation of US military sidearms, the Beretta attempts to emulate its predecessor, which speaks a lot about the design of 1911.

[@Johnnyjonas274]

Now that is a purdy gun! Awesome upgrade to an old workhorse 👍

[@douglastong3208]

I qualified expert in the Army with the M9 without ever having touched one before. I never bought one for myself because I thought it was too large for me to conceal carry. But I think I' may get one for all the same reasons you gave as attributes of the 92.

[@HarleyRiderMC]

Always the very best review, Sootch. Simply cannot beat a Beretta.

[@user-ib6fu3ux1q]

Great review. Very good production and editing.

[@phillipdale6765]

Thank you for this video..I love my 92 and this is a beautiful handgun..I plan to get one of these after this review..thanks as always

I just traded in a couple of my Springfield 1911s for a Beretta 92 xi Sao tac. Glad to have a Beretta again.

[@Philly1958]

Among the most reliable guns ever made

[@jamescampbell4334]

I found my "forever" 92 in a Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier Tactical. Got the WC benchworked trigger, lanyard loop swapped to WC mag guide, WC single side slim decocking lever, SilencerCo 6" threaded barrel, 18rd mags w/MecGar +2 bases, Rugged Obsidian suppressor and SIG LIMA 1 laser on the rail. It's a favorite of everyone who shoots it. Less sound and recoil then a paintball gun.😂

[@spacebear49]

Wilson and Langdon make some AMAZING Berettas. I'd like one of each.

[@jamescampbell4334]

@@spacebear49 Yes, I would like to eventually get a Langdon also. E Langdon was brought into WC to train the guys who bench worked the WC Brig Tacs. IIRC, it was a $200 option at time of purchase, total bargain. 😋

[@spacebear49]

@@jamescampbell4334 I think they're both upwards of $1500 now for a loaded model. I took my stock 92 and mixed parts from both. Love it, but I'd like a primo factory model.

[@brianhookland869]

Great review, as always. I have a 92XI or I should say Beretta has it. I noticed some machining marks on the inside of the slide when I was cleaning it. Talked to Beretta, they said they would replace the slide, but they neglected to say when. I sent it to them in early Jan., it's now the end of Mar. and I'm still waiting. (the website mentioned a 2-3 week turn around) There are probably a million reasons for this wait, weather, holidays, lack of skilled personnel, supply issues on and on. I didn't get to use it much before I sent it in for repair, so I don't remember that well on how it shoots......I do enjoy your reviews a lot.

[@charlesherron9619]

Another fine vid. Thank you.

[@phillipdale6765]

Sootch I had to order one of these ..that grip angle and trigger on a baretta was too tempting...beautiful weapon

[@steven3379]

I purchased my first Beretta, 92X RDO Compact, i missed out on the Centurion. If Beretta comes out with the "XI" in a Centurion I will have one! Thanks for the video! Good stuff!

[@jamesdelong6401]

Another sweet pistol by Beretta

[@earldelsanto]

I just want a m9. Plain and simple. Had a fs 92 years ago fantastic gun a bit heavy by modern standards.

[@keysgirl7699]

I love my 92 FS. Man that is a nice pistol. Has all the features the original…..’lacked’? That SRO set-up is sweet.

[@JeepsCafe]

Sootch you do such a through review. Dang! everytime you put out a video it makes me want to go buy the firearm. I just might end up with one of those Barettas.

[@buddysumner4022]

Dam, I no this video is about the beretta but man that bul armory pistol is sickening, it’s just a slick looking pistol,

[@epps1217]

Dang. That's sweet!

[@tonylittle8634]

When I used that on active duty I absolutely hated it. Later I learned that it was the cheap magazines. I’ll have to give one a try

[@williamryan9195]

It was lack of general maintenance and abuse and laziness. Special forces units had complained openly about the locking block failure and cracking slides, and it was discovered that the services were using ammo not recommended by Beretta. Beretta won a defamation lawsuit against the U.S. government. Anything has its limits when abused and it pays to read the owner's manual and do basic routine maintenance.

[@antoniorosas721]

I bought me this same beretta and can’t complain it’s a sexy gun

[@gunsandcars3648]

red dot on a 92, something just seems wrong about that, Im still getting over a light rail on A1, should be carried in small of back ,whipped out lethal weapon style, a classic.

[@TT-ch2pz]

I've owned the standard 92 for years and loved it, so when this gun came out, I got one. But the frame-mounted safety didn't fit my hand at all. I put 100rds through it and traded it.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

For me the Beretta 92 is the pistol ever.

[@johndeere1951a]

Exactly 👎

[@lancecahill5486]

One of the reasons why I like your channel so much is that you ALWAYS check the gun to make sure that it’s safe!! Thank you for the very detailed review of the 92XI SAO.

[@fuzzyreticle]

That Trijicon looks ridiculous on it. I get that it’s a quasi competition pistol. It feels like Beretta told their engineers to make a red dot fit a 92 but they did it reluctantly.

[@michaelperelka6410]

SOOTCH I NEED TO SEE THAT GTS

[@blake_7791]

Gunzone had a helluva deal going on when you made this video….no more

[@jimhovater8755]

Beretta originally made the 92 as an SAO. I found one in a local pawn shop years ago and still kick myself for not buying it. I carried both a 92FS and a 96FS as an LEO. I really like Berettas, but at 63, would never consider one as my EDC today (I love my PPQ). However, I would love one of these as a 'house gun'.

[@argoshikan]

No. The original 92 had a frame mounted safety, but it wasn’t a single action only.

[@buttsworth]

​@argoshikan He might mean he saw a M1951? It was basically a single stack single action 92. It was also the last Beretta pistol designed by Tullio Marengoni, Beretta's John Browning equivalent, so it really is arguably Beretta's 1911.

[@argoshikan]

@@buttsworth true. But didn’t that gun have a push button safety? I mean it doesn’t really matter. I’m just being a fudd.

[@gianpalacio5635]

@@buttsworthCool name

[@christianorr1059]

@@argoshikanYes, it was a cross-bolt safety.

[@philipdennis-rh7uj]

She's a shooter. Feels lighter than my others but thats me. You know Beretta makes like 3 million varieties of the 92. They are one of the finer machined pistols you could ever buy.

[@firestorm8471]

You have the same comment on every Beretta 92 video, come up with something a little different and original. Lol, and always ending with the great presentation.

[@louisgiokas2206]

You know that this is not the first 9mm SAO high-capacity pistol. CZ had a single action only version of the CZ75 for a while. They discontinued it in 2018. You can still get a single action CZ75 in the form of their TS2 competition guns.

[@joeygalanti1097]

DA/SA was a great idea. These new handguns are moving backwards imo.

[@ravissary79]

Its a shame they couldnt redesign the 92 lower to accommodate their px4 polymer technology, split the difference in styling vs utility, and redesign their internal action so the pin safty wasnt a barrier to having a low red dot mount like a 2011 can. The 92s main flaw has been its chonky grip frame. I like em ok, but my wife can't do it, and my px4 can just hold more in that grip with a smaller circumference, while still having a phenomenal lockwork system. But the px4 never had the elegance or open slide design of the 92.

[@chrisgrignon3877]

I would love to buy an INOX model

[@user-jetmachinist]

Cannot co witness the sights with the SRO but still , i’m sold . Outstanding Berettas.

[@johndeere1951a]

I've hated that open slide/barrel design since its 1976 introduction. I chose the H&K VP70Z with 18 rd magazine. Still have one 50 years on now.

[@kennethbaker5223]

That's great. How is your comment relevant to this video?

[@johndeere1951a]

​ The Sootch video is great. I just hate that 92 open slide design.

[@Walnutman5700]

You mentioned that it comes with "paperwork". But does that include a manual? My 80X did not come with a manual. When I sent for one they sent me a 8 1/2 by 11 inch copied off stapled "manual" that does not fit in the box? Manual with this one?

[@3wheelmannc860]

Beretta is solid for sure... I wish that had the vision to bring the new egos, ie Vertec grip to the newly updated 96 (.40) offering. Huge miss imo. 92XI should be considered if you like the SAO tools.

Don't particularly care for the two tone look or the vertec grip frame. I held one in my hand a few years ago and the grips literally ripped my skin off my hand like 400 grit sandpaper!! To me this gun is like a unproportioned woman who's top heavy with no hips 🤣🤷 lol !! Come on Beretta your supposed to be Italian!!
