Beretta USA Unveils 92X Performance Carry Optic Dark Series

Elite Competition Platform Gets Bold New Look

Beretta USA has launched their latest competitive shooting platform, the 92X Performance Carry Optic Dark Series, targeting serious competitors with enhanced performance capabilities and distinctive aesthetics. This evolution of the proven 92X Performance Carry Optic design represents a significant step forward in competition-ready firearms.

Developed by Champions, Built for Winners

Professional Input Drives Design

The Dark Series development process involved extensive collaboration with elite-level competitive shooters, ensuring every modification serves a practical purpose on the competition circuit. This professional input has resulted in a pistol engineered to deliver exceptional precision, lightning-fast performance, and unwavering reliability straight from the factory.

USPSA Competition Ready

Meeting all requirements for USPSA Carry Optics Division competition, this pistol eliminates the guesswork for competitive shooters. The platform arrives match-ready, allowing competitors to focus on performance rather than modifications.

Construction and Performance Specifications

Robust Steel Framework

The pistol features a steel Vertec frame construction, tipping the scales at 47.7 ounces. This substantial weight distribution provides superior recoil management and enhanced balance during rapid-fire sequences, crucial advantages in competitive scenarios.

Advanced Surface Treatment

A graphite gray Tinitec™ finish covers the entire platform, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term durability while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional competition pistols.

Competition-Focused Enhancements

Precision Trigger System

The X-treme S Trigger System offers comprehensive adjustability across take-up, break point, and overtravel parameters. Most notably, reset travel has been reduced by up to 40% compared to standard 90 series triggers, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved split times.

Tactical Improvements

Strategic enhancements include a match disassembly latch for streamlined maintenance procedures, a beveled magazine well facilitating lightning-fast reloads, and an impressive 18-round magazine capacity that keeps competitors in the fight longer.

The Dark Series introduces three striking colorway options that redefine the visual identity of the 92X Performance platform:
