I'm not sure if this thing malfunctioned or if it's supposed to work that way (see articles linked below) but IMHO this gun is one dangerous POS to carry. With the hammer fully cocked, I aimed at a target 35' away with my finger off the trigger - moved the safety from the "fire" position to the "safe" position and HAMMER DECOCKED AND THE GUN FIRED. I made sure the chamber was empty, inserted a full magazine, and chambered a round. The gun itself felt a bit clumsy and lacking in accuracy, even for the first 10 I ever fired. I brought my 9000S to the range and fired 10 rounds down range with no problem. Apparently, the safety is DESIGNED to decock the hammer when moved to the safe position, and there have been several reported instances of assortede problems with the safety features on this model. One common thread in many articles about the 9000S is about various problems with the ambidextrous thumb safety. I decided to read up on this little gem before I took it to the range for the first time. One such transaction included an almost brand-new 9 mm Beretta 9000S that I cleaned, locked away, and never fired until last October. You can also easily swap shells to reduce the need of having several different full holsters for several different guns.Over the years, there have been a few times when I've acquired several firearms in one transaction. On the outside of it all, you’ll have a custom-molded shell to securely hold your 92X Performance. Just like I suggested in my 92FS review, a quality holster is a must, especially with a larger framed gun like the 92X Performance.Īlien Gear Holsters makes an extremely comfortable hybrid holster that gives you a soft and cooling neoprene backing, with a woven nylon and spring steel core. It even comes in a couple of different colors if you want to get fancy with it. It puts out 1,000 lumens, for an hour and a half and seems indestructible after what I’ve put some of mine through. You’ve probably seen me recommend this light in many other reviews. Since this model has the accessory rail you can go ahead and throw on many of your favorite accessories. I could maintain two or so-inch groupings while shooting rather quickly, but had to take my time at 25 yards or further.Įven at 25-30 yards, though, with slowing down my follow-up shots, my groupings didn’t expand all that much. Within 15-20 yards, I was very happy with my groupings from the start. I’m not a pro shooter by any stretch, nor did I consider my shooting to be great throughout the entire time I had with the 92X Performance, but it was consistent and repeatable. I wouldn’t have any long-term concerns, especially after several hundred more rounds to pass the “break-in period.” Accuracy The gun came COVERED in lubricant, which may have helped with the reliability, but it was actually too much, and I had to wipe down the exterior of the gun before shooting. I’ve read that people have had quite a few issues within the first few hundred rounds, but I would consider the two that I had pretty standard. Early in the round count, I had two stovepipes, but then it was smooth sailing. So far, I’ve put 230 rounds through this gun and experienced two malfunctions. Everything fits perfectly inside the case, with room to spare.
