The Beretta 92XI SAO delivers precision shooting with single-action-only operation in a proven combat platform. This specialized variant combines the reliability of the 92-series with enhanced ergonomics and tactical features for competitive and professional applications.
What Makes This Different
The single-action-only trigger system eliminates the long double-action first pull, providing consistent trigger characteristics for every shot. The Vertec grip frame offers improved ergonomics with straight backstrap geometry that accommodates a wider range of hand sizes compared to traditional curved grips. Factory camouflage finish provides enhanced durability while reducing glare in tactical environments.
