Hoosier Nation Their way heavier than a Glock. They have half the capacity of a Glock (unless we’re talking $3,000+ 2011’s and even then, I’d rather a Glock) and they definitely are nowhere near as reliable. My dads a 1911 collector. He doesn’t have STI’s or anything but has pretty decent ones, Colt Gold Cups and Kimbers out of their custom shop and whatnot. I’ve seen all of them malfunction. Although not often, I’ve seen it first hand. You know what I’ve never seen fail once? Any of my Glocks. None of them has ever failed. Not even once. Out of thousands and thousands of rounds. Not one failure. And when it comes to a carry gun, reliability is the utmost importance over everything. Even if a gun is 0.0001% more reliable than the other gun, the more reliable one is better for carry regardless of the other guns features. And comparing a 1911 to a Glock, reliability isn’t the only department it blows the 1911 away in. Weight and most importantly magazine capacity. All things being said I still think a 1911 is an amazing range gun. But you’d be stupid to trust your life to one over a Glock. Especially if you’re talking about fighting in a messy environment. If that 1911 gets a smidge of mud on it or if you forgot to douse it with oil that day, it’s gonna be a bolt action. A Glock? You can run that dry and dirty through thousands of rounds without a single drop of oil.

If magazine capacity is your concern I would suggest you look at a 92x Centurion. The only difference is that the grip is roughly 1/4 inch longer. That gets you 17 rounds vs 13. 18 with a Mec-Gar mag. If you compare the Compact to the Cent, the Cent makes way more sense.

Langdon Tactical has a sweet "trigger job in a bag" and new trigger bar that gets rid of the pretravel in SA making the reset right to the wall, think PPQ.

I bought this exact pistol, the 92X Compact with no rail. What put me over the line was an excellent short-term price for LE officers of only $525. I haven't regretted it one bit. While I tend to carry a Glock 19 or a Shield most often, when I teach new shooters, they consistently find it easier to turn in a good performance with the heavier gun than with a lighter striker -fired pistol. For many of them, the ability to hide the gun isn't their first consideration, and many just feel more confident with the Beretta. That is probably why the military liked the B.I.B (Big Italian Bitch) for soldiers who weren't going to get a lot of pistol training. I find it neck and neck with my SIG P226 in terms of being one of the easiest service pistols to shoot for a new person. Also, whatever they have done to the 92X grip makes it easier for more people to get their hand around it. The trigger on my 92A1 is too long for me to really do well with, but on the 92X with either grip installed, it is just fine. And, like our President, I would say that I'm a "short fingered vulgarian". I stumbled onto something I like to do with Compact. I happened to have in my stash 3 Beretta factory 17 round magazines for the full-sized 92. Of course they work just fine in the Compact, although they stick out of the bottom. But I slipped X-grip adapters over each one, and in the Compact, they look and feel great. I dig the balance of the Compact that way, and it ends up taking on the dimensions of a slightly chubby LW Commander that happens to hold 18 rounds. It reminds me of the old Centurion I used to carry. What's not to like? I'd say if you can find one at a good price, grab it.

I am so happy that James’ appendix carry demonstration was the first video I watched in the new year! 😬 Great review. Now I need one.

Excellent review! Very intelligent, detailed review. Extremely useful for me, since this is the first non-striker pistol I’ve ever owned. Just got my 92 A1 and can’t wait to shoot it. Living in a free US state, I FULLY enjoy the liberty of being able to order it with 3x17 rds mags. And just for good safety, I ordered a few factory 30 rds mags for it.

The Beretta 92 was my first ever handgun and I loved shooting it! I now have a 92 Elite LTT that has a trigger job and soon to be red dot cut from Langdon and man I'm excited to get it back

My local gun shop had one of those, pretty nice for sure. The biggest selling point for me would be the feel of the pistol. I've handled Glocks, HK's 1911's and all sorts of others, but that Beretta 92X literally just fell perfectly into my hand, like it was supposed to be there from the beginning. It's just a damn comfortable gun. I'm still kicking myself about not buying it when I had the chance.

The Beretta is a pretty good handgun. People on the military have to remember that most of those have been shot to the point of smooth bore. Not to mention mishandled and abused.

One again, that could be someone throwing out numbers. So take that with a grain of salt.

Great in depth review. Like Beretta’s weight spec, they are also taking a bit of liberty calling it a “compact” with its 4.25 inch barrel.

The 92X is actually a superb gun out of the box. There are a number of aftermarket parts that stratospherically improve the go pedal & the gun. It’s a very forgiving pistol.

Excellent vid! Based on PB's 92X (and the tweaks you mentioned); if the BHP was still in production - or more realistically, if the Turks felt the investment was worth it, I'd lighten my wallet for a 'BHPX'.

After absolutely loving my M9A3, I think this is my next carry piece.

With slide mounted safety's I just flip it forward when I am adjusting my grip in advance of the first shot. It's actually simple once your used to it. Just flip your thumb down in a natural arc and it flips forward.

LOVE IT! Would make a GREAT review! Want tnis 92X Compact for belt carry. Best Regards from Phx., Az. Robert 🇺🇸

I have a 92 compact and it is my edc . i like it a lot. it has a de cocker but i keep it in go mode . it is very accurate and you can put higher capacity mags in them .

I have been carrying one since they were released. Its been a great gun and just like the video said it is an absolute joy to take to range and shoot

James: I don't think I'd abandon my Glock for this Beretta. Me: *petting Glock* ya hear that little buddy

Good job Hollywood on helping make this gun. You'll never have to reload because it does it by itself!

Excellent review. Thank you

Ban stater here: we only get 10 rounds so capacity doesn’t matter to me in my carry choice. I have this gun and love it. I carry it almost daily. Funny thing is with the grip being the most printable portion of a CCW, it’s barely taller than my M&P shield 9 with the 8 round mag inserted. Fatter? Yeah. But if you don’t dress around your concealed any gun is obvious. I highly recommend the 92x compact for any style of carry. Carry on, people. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

"A-endix carry" might be the best fucking joke I've ever heard

I'm going to second the need for the mullet if you carry this gun, you know it makes sense. James, it's either the light in that room, or you are starting to get some grey in your hair..........Daddy.

I have noticed that too. Only his hair dresser knows.

I went with the centurion, which is basically a full size gun. The D spring is standard on these vs the OG so it’s a bit smoother. The LTT trigger will go in probably, but it’s a smooth shooter. It quickly became my most accurate and shootable gun. Too big to Carry for me, but it’s the home defense gun. Couldn’t find the compact, great review, I think you did a good job on hitting the high points and accurate on the downsides. These are excellent guns and small improvements beretta made I think were perfect.

James, What a funny coincidence! I just bought a Beretta 92 compact L just yesterday!!!😁

@6:49 what?! mine didn't come with the magwell vacuum that hoovers up the next mag directly from your belt :(

I like to buy once/cry once so I'm hooked on the LTT 😭😂

Another most excellent review. If I had your waistline, I'd buy bigger pants, a Milt Sparks IWB, and carry this bad boy. The Force is strong with Beretta.

I picked up a 92X today. 625 out the door and they discounted a box of hydrashok 9mm. I love it.

Looks to be almost exactly the same size as the surplus M1951 I recently acquired.

Only handgun i could hit the side of a barn with, I’m personally quite happy with it overall but I tote the full size. For some reason it was cheaper than the compact or centurion version. Good review 👍

Beretta have produced a new compact version 40 years after the M9 was adopted, pretty much the same time between the M1911 and the Colt Commander. Curious coincidence.

Got the 92x centurion and I love it. 17+1 and only slightly more grip than the compact. You can find 92x models for 649$ ish now. I have an Italian 92 compact and the grip makes a big difference.

I DO carry one. Love it. It actually conceals really well and I actually find it's grippier(yup.. just made that word up) that most of the polymer guns. It's smooth as glass and shoots really well. ETA: I have the G model with the rail. I carry it in a JM Custom Kydex appendix (for the full sized model) holster. Conceals extremely well and comfortably. MecGar makes flush fit 15 round mags for it (what I carry). Added a Wilson short reach trigger and a Langdon reduced power mainspring. These two simple additions TRANSFORM this gun from really good to awesome. Hope that helps.

No u don't

When I first shot and qualified on the Beretta 92, I owned Glock 19 for a while. My first two impressions were that it had the ergonomics of a brick and the trigger left me confused, as I really had zero understanding of a SA/DA action. I think that I understand why some like the DA/SA; I just could not carry one over striker fired handguns.

If you are older it is great for appendix carry. Looks like a hernia

"Prima noctis." Lol! Make sure you use plenty of CLP. Water based lube makes a great ablative. For cans. Dont ask me how I know. Or do!

I typically carry a Glock 19 or 43x, picked up the 92x as my first Beretta and love shooting it. It’s my main carry in colder weather when jackets are appropriate.

Excellent review

I have been carrying the Centurion and the Compact for years and years. The compact carries much....much smaller. The bobbed hammer breaks up the lines of the pistol and Mec-Gar makes flush fit 15 rounds magazines. Also, little known fact for non-Beretta guys, the factory Beretta magazine plate fits on the Mec-Gar magazines making the 15 round Mec-Gar magazines truly flush fit without the pinky extension. Other people have mentioned that with 100 dollars or less in parts you can get a 6-7 pound DA pull and a 2.5-3 pound SA pull with a very short reset. It's hard to beat for under 900 dollars considering a Gucci gun of any variety is usually over 1k. It's an old design but damn does it work and DA/SA is the only way to go for appendix carry imho. The DA/SA transition can be learned in a week or so of shooting where it becomes second nature. Great review btw!

Personally looking at it, I wouldn't say it's the best "carry" option. But for a bedside gun, it's pretty awesome. Having a metal frame allows for such quick follow ups, compared to the light/ultralight carry options. Plus with the smaller grip, I think a lot of people would fall in love with that one pretty early on. I know some people still say that new shooters should never start off with a DA/SA handgun. But I think having the ability to practice with DA/SA will may anyone a better shooter than just sticking with a striker fired gun right off the bat.
