I just picked it up yesterday, so not a lot to report yet, except initial observations. Overall the gun looks really nice. Beretta did a nice job. Minimal to non existent tooling marks. Slide to frame fit is excellent, and the gun feels good in the hand. It's HEAVY with the steel frame. Empty around 47 ounces. With a full 20 round magazine it's close to 56 ounces.
I have no idea why Beretta ships a non carry target pistol with 15 round mags? I already had ordered 3, 20 round Mec-Gar mags for it from Greg Cote. They arrived before the gun. They fit and lock up every bit as well as the 2, 15 rounders the gun ships with.
It has nice deep "sawtooth" serrations at both the front and rear of the slide. And the slide can be easily manipulated with either. It comes with a steel guide rod. Sights look good. A red fiber optic front with a fully adjustable serrated rear. The rear sight extends rearward to achieve a bit longer sight radius. Both front and rear sights are dovetailed.
They modified the standard Beretta takedown lever, to extend out a bit as a type of a "gas pedal" thumb rest, that you're starting to see more of on some of these modified race guns.
It has a nice machined beveled mag well. The frame is not Stainless, but carbon steel with Beretta's proprietary Nistan finish. It looks and feels a lot like Armoloy, or the Nickel Boron Nitride finish you see on AR bolt carrier groups. And it has the same nice slick lubricity to it.
The trigger let off, along with the short reset is really nice. Better than I expected, and the best yet that I've come across on any Beretta. I'm guessing it's at around 3.5 to 4 pounds. The gun has a frame mounted ambidextrous safety with no decock. If you really wanted to carry this thing, you can do it cocked and locked.
It comes in a nice lockable case, that I believe is made for Beretta by Negrini. (Not 100% sure about this). However, they could have done a little better than the cheap "egg crate" foam rubber. Especially for a gun in this price range. It comes with 2 sets of synthetic grips.
Because this is strictly a range gun, I have a set of these wood grips on order. (I have just as hard of a time getting away from wood grips, as I do bacon). They look just jazzy enough, without making the thing look like a Mexican cartel special. I was surprised to find them. The 92X Performance is not a high volume production gun, and grip makers are sometimes reluctant to make grips for a gun that isn't going to have a big market.

These are a few quick and dirty phone pics. (You can see the difference between the 15 and 20 round mags when inserted in the gun. The middle photo shows the 20 rounder).
