Exactly. The first version of the APX was terrible if we're honest (which may be why). To Beretta's credit, they took feedback and reworked it into the best value out there right now imo. Heck, Beretta is running a $100 rebate on them right now and you can pick up any model (regular, tactical) pretty much for ~$300....that's insane.

I’ve been shooting for over 40 yrs. Have owned and shot all manner of Glocks, Sigs, 1911’s, revolvers, custom pistols and many others. The Beretta 92 LTT is the best pistol I’ve owned. I was never a fan of the 92’s until I shot one. Best EDC is a Ruger LCR 9mm. With these two handguns I’m super accurate and ready for anything.

My collection, 92FS inox, handed down from dad, it's a first gen American ghost model. M9a3 with toni/beretta parts to make a semi race gun/Roland special. Apx full size with a second grip module set up for racing, and the safety module on the way. Apx centurion, with compact grip module And apx a1 tactical, with venom red dot, and a small micro comp. I would give my left**** to get my hands on and apx target, full size, standard with grey chassis, 5inch barrel with fiber target sight, and optic cut. I would like to get my hands on a 92x performance, the og without an optic cut And one of these squalos. That is a beautiful gun. I don't like to start anything, in regards to sig, as the 226 was just as good as the 92, but the apx is much better than the 320, and IMO beretta is a much better and finer company than sig will ever be.

This could be the best handgun in the world but I wouldn’t purchase anything produced by Beretta. Actually I wouldn’t take it if you gave it to me for free. Why? Because if a police officer purchases a brand new gun that has irregular defective sights that shoot a foot low at 25 yards by three different shooters and Beretta customer service tells you the gun functions within Berettas specifications, then the gun dealer has to have new sights installed on it at their expense to correct the issue and make the customer whole then I would say beretta customer service is trash. As a retired firearm dealer I can say they had the absolute worst customer service of any manufacturer in the industry. So bad I finally refused to sell them and as I mentioned I was a law enforcement dealer to the largest accredited sheriff department in the nation. When I stopped selling Beretta. The sheriff department stopped buying beretta also after I explained Beretta didn’t back its product and I could not afford to continue to pay to correct berettas defective products. I threatened to stop selling beretta to the main corporate rep and his exact words were, That sounds like an idle threat. He was wrong. Never sold another beretta the remaining 20 years before I retired. I still hold a grudge. I never screwed over any customer and treated all my customers like I would family so when beretta screwed me and my customer over then they won’t ever get another chance at redemption and I’ll make sure everyone knows how they acted.

@@thisismagacountry1318Everyone is different in how and what they carry. Being a gun dealer I had to carry all day long. I did not have the fortitude to carry a semiautomatic handgun all day long. I was kind of a wuss. Didn’t like it sticking in my kidneys or hanging on a chair armrest and such. I could carry it out to dinner or to the store but not all day everyday. Too bulky and bothersome. I hate revolvers but I ended up carrying a s&w titanium 357 snub nose revolver in my pocket every day because I live in south Florida and I wear a t shirt, shorts and flip flops most everywhere. It was comfortable for me because it weighed 11 ounces. I often forgot it was in my pocket. Felt like a wallet in your pocket. Very comfortable! I hated shooting it. Painful! It was a horrible brutal mule of a gun but I considered it an “Oh Shit” gut gun if I ever had to use it. That being said I would tell my customers get what they think they will really carry everyday because any gun in your pocket is better than it sitting at home on your nightstand. Both those handguns are good guns and if they were turds then I’d tell you truthfully if I thought that. You get what you like and not what someone else likes. Remember they aren’t meant to be range guns. You want the most comfortable to carry. I’m sorry I’ve rambled but I hoped this bit of advice and my experiences have helped. Shoot safe and shoot straight. Good luck. ✌️

I carried a 92F as a uniformed duty handgun for several years and it stayed in my trunk as a backup when I went to plainclothes duty. I still have it, the finish is well worn, it's my favorite 9mm range gun and due to the current hurricane emergency we are experiencing, it will be my daily carry gun until things get back to normal. I normally carry a S&W Model 3914 DAO (8+1). But in situations where unusual things can happen, I like the 15 +1 capacity of the 92F. It's a bit large for EDC concealed carry in summer clothes in Florida. I'll stick with the one I have, but you can't go wrong with a Beretta 92 series handgun.

I am a Beretta fan but I actually don't like the frame mounted safety versions like this one. I have a 92x performance, which is very similar to this one in being a SAO with frame mounted safety, and my issue is that is hard to get a solid grip on it to rack. The area to grip the slide is small due to the contour and the safety makes it hard to get a decent grip on it without hitting your finger or slipping off trying to avoid it. FYI I also would not rack a Beretta from the front because I don't want to get burned by the barrel who absolutely does happen, and I don't find it helpful to practice something I can only do with a cold barrel. I know people complain that the typical frame mounted safety makes Berettas harder to grab but I feel the exact opposite after my experience with the frame mounted safety on the 92x performance. Although to be fair, the 92x performance has a polished slide rather than ceracote, so I am not sure this observation translates 100% to this model. However, it is all down to what you like and want to spend your money on. Do what makes you happy. I am sure this is 100% worth the money and will make its owners happy. I want Beretta and all the manufacturers to keep putting out new gun with different features. If its not for me, then oh well. It makes no sense to be in a hater community over guns you don't like.

92 super nice but the grip is too wide for my liking and the angle is not the most ergonomic. I would be interested in a slim model similar to the browning hi-power.

I was excited about the xi but the safety design gives me a hotspot and makes me change my grip. Waiting for an update or some after market safety so I can ride the safety.

Well I like it because its a Beretta and that can be special in its own right. I never was a fan of the storm pistol but with a little range time it might be a jewel and I'm certainly a fan of the Storm carbine. But this one is a good bet for the Beretta fans. 👍

It’s a pretty gun, but, I think I would only buy a Beretta 92 with a DA/SA mechanism. It just doesn’t do anything for me. If I wanted a fancier 92, perhaps something by Langdon Tactical. I am torn between a CZ SP01 Tactical and a SIG P365 Macro Tacops or Fuse as my next pistol purchase.

A few whiners in these comments! I love a revamped classic. To me the 92 is second only to the 1911 in terms of icon status of semi auto pistols. I own 2 variants and they are fantastic. I’d love to get my hands on one of these!

So I'm all for it...for you. Though absolutely reliable and very accurate, the 92 design is over-large and overly heavy for a 9mm! Too much of a good thing makes it a luxury/toy.

TBH I thought the 92X Performance looked more striking with the shiny slide. This looks like a an ordinary cerakote job.

berettas are great only problem there pricey the ones I have I got used and price is the reason girsan and the RIA mk9 are popular you are getting 92 that does not cost an arm and a leg it boils down to what you like and can afford

I wanted to love Beretta, but they screwed me over with a 92x compact and their cs is horrible and so is their optics mounting. I have so many screws now
