Built on the proven Beretta 92X Performance Carry Optic platform and dressed in a sleek, all-black finish with a choice of colorways, the new Performance Dark line has arrived.
Beretta introduced the 92X Performance Carry Optic in 2022 as an out-of-the-box race gun that was compliant with IPSC and USPSA Production and Optic division regulations. In addition to improved functional and ergonomic features, they shipped with Toni System optic plates – compatible with four optic mounting patterns, a wraparound grip, a low-profile USPA-compliant frame-mounted safety lever, a competition mag release, and a skeletonized hammer.
New for 2025 are a series of five 92X Performance Dark series guns that build on that standard, but, instead of the bright steel-framed Nistan-coated look, these all carry a Graphite Gray Tinitec finish with options for black, red (Scorched Earth), blue (Midnight Squall), or yellow (Solar Flare) accents in the aluminum grip panels and trigger.
All sport a steel Vertec frame, which gives the guns a 47.7 ounce unloaded weight, as well as a match disassembly latch for faster maintenance, a beveled mag well for quicker reloads, and 18-round magazines.
"Designed in collaboration with world-class shooters, the 92X Performance Carry Optic Dark Series is engineered to deliver power, speed, and accuracy right out of the box," said Logan Killam, Beretta USA Sr. Pistol Product Manager. "It complies fully with USPSA Carry Optics Division regulations, ensuring it’s match-ready from day one."
The 92X Performance Dark has an MSRP starting at $1,699.
How about a sizzle reel of these guns on the range?
