The Beretta 92FS Compact delivers full-size performance in a more concealable package, combining the legendary reliability of the 92 series with enhanced portability. This 9mm pistol features a 4.3-inch barrel and 15-round capacity, making it suitable for both duty carry and personal protection applications.
What Makes This Different
The 92FS Compact maintains the open-slide design that made the full-size 92FS famous while reducing overall length by nearly an inch. The stainless steel slide provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes, while the walnut grips offer enhanced control and classic aesthetics. This configuration bridges the gap between full-size duty pistols and subcompact carry guns.
