Analysis

Beretta added the Compact to the 92X family in mid-2019 with the Centurion and full-size guns. The short slide sits on a shorter Vertec frame so overall height drops with the magazine. The F slide converts to a G decocker. Launch codes covered a rail-less carry frame and a railed frame; intro list prices sat a step apart. Blue Book closes those two iron-sight rows after 2021. The optics-ready Compact followed in 2022 and remains on Beretta’s 92X list. Used examples with both grip sets and the original magazines sit at the top of their value range.

This may be THE BEST handgun available anywhere. Quality cannot beaten, used by Police and Military around the world! I’m 74, had tons of weapons all those years, as well as a Veteran, everybody should own at least one Beretta 92!
