Red dot sights are no longer a rarity. In fact, it’s common to red dots all up and down the firing line. And if you compete in Carry Optics, they are quite literally everywhere. Beretta is answering the call for optics-ready pistols with their 92X Performance Carry Optic, a gun made to the company’s precise requirements with red dot ready features.
The renowned gun maker provides details of the pistol:
The 92X Performance family was designed in collaboration with the world’s highest-level competitive shooters to have out-of-the-box optimized performance and consistency. The new 92X Performance Carry Optic model retains the same ergonomics and features of the popular 92X Performance platform with a red dot optic-ready slide, included optic plates, and improved trigger performance.
Compliant with the USPSA (United States Pistol Shooting Association) Carry Optic division regulations, the 92X Performance Carry Optic provides an uncompromising performance aimed at earning you a spot at the top of the podium with power, speed, and accuracy.
Beretta goes on to add:
The hallmark of the 92X Performance Family is the steel Vertec Frame with optimized performance ergonomics and weight balance. The 47.6 oz (1350 g) overall weight, higher Beaver Tail, and front and rear strap texturing provide optimal grip position and recoil management for quick purchase, draw and release control – resulting in faster target acquisition and follow-up shots. The generous magazine well has been contoured and flared to provide quicker, more accurate reloads, while the mag release is both oversized and reversible to accommodate for right or left-handed shooters.
…[T]he optics-ready slide cut allows shooters to adopt modern optics to the platform, further enhancing the shooting experience and driving faster results on target. In the 92X Performance Carry Optic, plates are included with the gun out-of-the-box for end-user configuration of the most popular red-dot optics available in the market today.
The gun is designed for superior overall performance both ergonomically and for shots on target. Serrations are located at the forward and rearward portions of the slide to facilitate manipulating the slide. The grip is textured at the front and backstrap for a better hold during live fire and the beavertail makes maintaining a high, sure grip easier. The factory trigger used is the Xtreme-S which has a 40% reset reduction in travel compared to the standard 90 series triggers. This gun is designed to get on target and stay there. You bring the skills and the gun delivers.
