The 92SB-C combines a compact profile with a 4.25 in barrel and a 13+1 capacity, retaining the proven short-recoil, locking-block, open-top slide design. It is built with a blued steel slide and an anodized aluminum-alloy frame, balancing durability with reduced carry weight.
Controls and safety features include a double-action/single-action system, ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, and a firing pin block. The pistol uses fixed sights with an integral front blade and a rear notch set in a dovetail for secure alignment.
Ergonomic and stylistic details include the classic rounded trigger guard, an external ring-style hammer spur, and black checkered plastic grips with PB medallions for a secure hold.
Factory markings are crisp: the right slide reads 'MOD. 92 SB COMPACT – CAL. 9 Parabellum – PATENTED' and the left slide reads 'PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY' with the PB logo. It bears Italian proof marks ahead of the trigger guard, including a boxed 'Z', and the U.S.
import mark 'BERBEN CORPORATION N.Y.–N.Y.' from the pre–Beretta U.S.A. importer.
