The Beretta 92XI SAO Full Size delivers precision single-action performance in a battle-tested platform enhanced for modern tactical applications. This 9mm pistol combines Beretta's legendary reliability with contemporary features like an extended 18-round capacity and distinctive desert camo finish.
What Makes This Different
The 92XI SAO eliminates the double-action trigger pull, providing a consistent single-action break for enhanced accuracy shot after shot. Unlike standard 92FS models, this variant features an improved trigger system, enhanced ergonomics, and increased magazine capacity. The single-action-only configuration reduces trigger pull weight to approximately 4.5 pounds while maintaining the mechanical safety systems that make the 92 series trusted by military and law enforcement worldwide.
Key Features
- Single-action-only trigger system for consistent 4.5-pound pull weight
- Extended 18+1 capacity with flush-fitting magazines
- 4.7-inch cold hammer-forged barrel for enhanced accuracy and durability
- Desert camo Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced glare
- Picatinny rail system accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories
- Ambidextrous safety/decocker for left and right-handed operation
- Enhanced grip texture and ergonomic improvements over standard 92FS
Field performance demonstrates the 92XI SAO's capability across multiple applications, from competitive shooting where the single-action trigger provides match-grade precision, to duty use where the increased capacity and proven reliability matter most. The desert camo finish performs exceptionally in arid environments while the enhanced grip texture maintains control in adverse conditions. Accuracy typically groups under 3 inches at 25 yards with quality ammunition.
