What’s Included

- One 13-round compact-format steel magazine with numbered witness holes marked 5/10/13
The 92F Compact pairs a compact 4.3 inch chrome-lined steel barrel with a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame and Bruniton-finished slide. The open-top slide and locking-block action are hallmark 90-Series features, designed for smooth function with 9mm Luger.
Made in the United States, the slide is marked "MOD. 92 F COMPACT - CAL. 9 Parabellum - PATENTED" with "BERETTA USA CORP. ACKK, MD." This variant is considered less common than later 92FS compact models, offering distinct model markings and features from its period.
Controls are straightforward and ambidextrous where it counts. The pistol uses a DA/SA trigger system with an ambidextrous manual safety/decocker on the slide and a spurred external hammer. The magazine release is standard, and the slide uses rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Sight configuration is fixed, with an integral blade front sight featuring a white dot and a dovetailed rear notch. A lanyard loop at the heel is included, and there is no accessory rail, preserving the classic compact 92 profile.
Capacity is 13+1, and this example includes one compact-format steel magazine with numbered witness holes at 5, 10, and 13 rounds.
