Beretta 92FS Compact L 9mm Luger Semi-Auto Pistol | Discontinued U.S.-Made Model, 4.25" Barrel, 13+1
This U.S.–produced Beretta 92FS Compact L pairs the trusted 92-series operating system with a shorter 4.25-inch barrel and reduced-size alloy frame. Now discontinued, the Compact L is valued by shooters who want full-size handling in a handier package and by Beretta collectors seeking hard-to-find production variants. Its Bruniton-finished open-top slide, ambidextrous safety-decocker, and reversible magazine release keep the pistol true to the 92 lineage while adding carry-friendly dimensions.

Beretta produced the Compact L at its Maryland facility, giving this pistol U.S. roll marks that differentiate it from Italian-made counterparts and enhance collector appeal.
The open-top slide design, enlarged FS-series hammer-pivot pin, and firing-pin block combine to promote reliable cycling and add redundant safety layers without altering the classic 92 trigger feel.
A 7075-T6 aluminum alloy frame keeps weight down while the Bruniton-coated carbon-steel slide resists corrosion. The matte black finish across slide and frame presents a unified, understated look.
Flush-fit 13-round magazines maintain the compact profile, yet the pistol also accepts standard full-size 92-series magazines for extended capacity options.
Fixed three-dot sights, an external hammer with DA/SA trigger, and checkered black polymer grips round out a package known for controllable recoil and smooth shooting characteristics in a mid-size format.
