Nistan is a Beretta finish aimed at durability, and the 92X Performance Carry Optic wears it on the frame and slide. This is a new 9mm Luger with a 4.9 inch barrel and a 15+1 capacity.

The Carry Optic model is built to hold a red dot, so you can mount a sight and shoot it right away. Beretta designed the Performance line with input from top competition shooters, and the trigger system on these pistols can be tuned for take-up, break and over-travel. That makes it appealing to anyone who likes to adjust their trigger feel.

The Steel Vertec frame has a higher beavertail, front and rear strap checkering and a flared magazine well to speed reloads. The reversible magazine release suits left and right-handed shooters.

These pistols are priced as high-end models, and the build quality reflects that. A shooter who competes, or one who just wants a refined 92, will likely find something to enjoy. The pistol ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you finish the background check and take delivery.
