Walnut grips on a steel pistol are a classic pairing, and they give the Beretta 92XI a handsome look. This one is chambered in 9mm, with a 4.7 inch barrel and a 15 round magazine. It is new.

Wood is warm in the hand and has a natural texture that many shooters like. It does not grip as aggressively as rubber or G10, so if you shoot in wet weather or with sweaty hands, try it first to see how it feels. For range sessions, bedside use or collecting, walnut makes a pleasant choice.

Beyond the grips, the 92XI is the updated 92, with a frame-mounted safety, ergonomic touches and the open-slide design Beretta is known for. The 4.7 inch barrel is slightly shorter than the older standard, which makes the pistol a touch quicker in the hand.

If you like a pistol that looks more like a fine tool than a tactical gadget, the walnut finish suits you. It also works well for someone who wants something a bit more traditional. We list the model, caliber, barrel, capacity and grips. Details like the safety setup and sights are shown on the product photos. The pistol ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you finish the background check and pick it up.
