[SHOT 2023] NEW Beretta 92Xi SAO (Single Action Only) 9mm

This year at SHOT Show 2023 Beretta had so many new releases from themselves, Tikka, Sako, and Manurhin that they hosted their own, private Range Day to display them all. We were in attendance and one of their newest announcements to come out is the Beretta 92Xi SAO (Single Action Only) handgun. With an attractive appearance and an improved trigger as well, this should be a popular pistol among the Beretta 92 faithful.

Introducing the new frontier for the 90 Series – the 92XI. The 92XI brings the long-awaited frame mounted safety to the standard 92 family of products, as well as a single action only variant and various ergonomic enhancements. The frame mounted safety offers an ambidextrous solution, bringing the safety lever more in reach with natural ergonomics.

If you haven’t already seen it, our sister-site of TheFirearmBlog.com (TFB) and one of their own sister-site YouTube channels of TFBTV Show Time has already posted a video on the Beretta 92Xi that can be watched HERE. With a frame mounted safety, stylish looks, and an upgraded X-treme S Trigger built specifically for single-action only shooting, this looks like another winner from Beretta.
