Smaller hands fit this one better than a full-size 92. The Beretta 92 Compact has a shorter grip and barrel, but it keeps the open slide, the smooth action and the soft recoil of the family. This used example is chambered in 9mm and comes with two magazines and the factory box.

The compact version holds fewer rounds than the full-size gun because the grip is shorter. That is the trade for easier carry. A cleaning after each outing takes ten minutes and keeps the finish and the action in good order.

Beretta designed the 92 for military and police use, and the compact model reflects that background. It uses a locked breech and a hammer-fired, DA/SA trigger. Shooters who learn the first-shot pull often come to like the pistol very much.

Look over the photos and check the function when it arrives. The box and two magazines make a decent package. For anyone who likes Beretta but finds the full-size gun too large, a compact is a sensible alternative. It is sold used and as described. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
