Beretta 92X Performance Defensive 9mm, DA/SA Steel Frame, 4.9 in Barrel, Optics-Ready, Matte Two-Tone
The Beretta 92X Performance Defensive is a full-size, steel-frame 9mm built for fast, confident handling. It combines an open-top, optics-ready slide with a 4.9 in recessed-crown barrel, red fiber-optic front sight, and a fully adjustable rear. User-focused controls include a frame-mounted ambidextrous safety with red indicator and a reversible, enlarged magazine release. Italian proofs and Made in Italy markings provide clear provenance, and this example is in very good condition with an excellent, mirror-bright bore.

The Defensive variant of the 92X Performance pairs a matte light gray steel frame with a darker slide and barrel for a clean, matte two-tone finish. The open-top slide features front and rear cocking serrations and an optics-ready cut with the factory cover plate installed, giving the pistol a ready pathway to red-dot use while keeping traditional irons in place.
Sight configuration is practical and precise: a red fiber-optic front sight draws the eye quickly, and the fully adjustable rear allows fine zeroing. Aggressive frontstrap and backstrap checkering and a lanyard loop add control and carry options without adding complexity.
The DA/SA action uses Beretta’s short-recoil system with a falling locking block. A competition-grade fire-control group delivers a short reset and a crisp single-action break. The frame-mounted ambidextrous safety with red indicator and the reversible, enlarged magazine release support efficient use by a broad range of shooters.
Details and markings are consistent and collectible-minded: the pistol carries Italian proof/date code IT23, Made in Italy rollmarks, PB - 9x19 caliber marking, and the Beretta trident logo. Serial numbers match on the frame and barrel hood (number not disclosed). Capacity is 15+1, and the platform remains a full-size 92X Performance series pistol with textured polymer grips molded with the Beretta trident and 92X Performance identification.
