Took this out this weekend and shot a little over 20 mags. Perfect little gun. Hardly no recoil. Guessing because its ported..awesome gun. Beautiful paint, nice aftermarket barrel.

Plain & simple but it works well. The sights and trigger are fine for an EDC that will never be used as a target pistol. It's rated for +P which is what I wanted. It's not ported though I compared it to my ported Charter 357 snub nose using 38+P I was unable to appreciate a difference in such a short barreled gun. The grip tames the recoil reasonably well and it fits my old Airweight holster too so I can use them interchangeably. This is not a show weapon and who cares because it's unlikely to ever see much daylight.

Great little, good for concealing carry Haven't got a chance to shoot it yet, but the trigger feels nice, fits good in my hand, so hopefully it will shoot straight as I can shoot.

Beretta 92X Performance Defensive: The Ultimate Competition-Ready 9mmThe Beretta 92 series is one of the most iconic handgun lineages in history, but the 92X Performance Defensive is an entirely different beast. Stripping away the service-pistol requirements of its predecessors, Beretta built this firearm with a single goal in mind: dominating practical shooting sports, specifically tailored to meet the strict weight and feature constraints of the IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) Carry Optics and Stock Service Pistol divisions.Here is a comprehensive breakdown of how this competition powerhouse stacks up.Specifications at a GlanceFeatureSpecificationCaliber9x19mm ParabellumActionSingle Action / Double Action (SA/DA)Barrel Length4.9 inchesFrame MaterialSteel (Vertec profile)Weight (Unloaded)42.7 ounces (approx. 1,210 grams)Magazine Capacity15 rounds (standard)SightsFiber optic front, fully adjustable blacked-out rearOptic ReadyYes (milled slide with blanking plate)Key Features & Design Enhancements1. The Steel Frame (and IDPA Weight Optimization)Unlike the standard aluminum-alloy frames of the duty-grade 92FS, the 92X Performance line utilizes a heavy steel frame. However, while the standard 92X Performance weighs in at a hefty 47.6 ounces, the Defensive version has been strategically lightened to 42.7 ounces.Beretta achieved this by machining internal reliefs in the frame and removing the Picatinny accessory rail. This crucial weight reduction keeps the gun just under the IDPA maximum weight limit, giving shooters the recoil-taming benefits of a steel frame without getting disqualified at the inspection table.2. The X-Treme S Trigger SystemThe trigger is arguably the star of the show. The 92X Performance Defensive features the X-Treme S single-action/double-action trigger mechanism, which includes a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated trigger and components.Double Action: Smooth, rolling, and surprisingly light break.Single Action: Incredibly crisp with a reset shortened to a mere 1mm.It allows for blazing-fast follow-up shots and effortless double-taps.3. Ergonomics and ControlsBuilt on the Vertec frame geometry, the pistol features a straight backstrap rather than the traditional hump of the original 92FS. This makes the grip profile slimmer and much more accessible for shooters with medium-to-small hands.Frame-Mounted Safety: Moving away from the traditional slide-mounted decocker, it features an extended, frame-mounted ambidextrous safety. This allows for a "cocked and locked" carry (Condition 1) or safe manipulation during a course of fire.Aggressive Checkering: Deep checkering on the front and backstraps ensures the gun stays anchored in your hand, even under rapid fire or in humid conditions.4. Optic-Ready SlideThe slide features a red-dot cut with a blanking plate. By purchasing the appropriate Beretta optic plate, you can easily mount standard footprints like Trijicon RMR, Leupold DeltaPoint, or Vortex red dots, making it an immediate contender for IDPA Carry Optics.Performance on the Range Recoil Management: ★★★★★ Thanks to the steel frame and the brigadier-style heavy slide, muzzle flip is practically non-existent. The gun tracks incredibly flat. Instead of snapping upward, the recoil impulse feels like a soft, linear push straight back into your palm, allowing you to keep your sights on target effortlessly. Accuracy: ★★★★★ Between the 4.9-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, tight slide-to-frame tolerances, and a crisp single-action break, the mechanical accuracy of this pistol is phenomenal. Consistently punching out the bullseye or ringing small steel plates at 25 yards is remarkably easy. Reliability: ★★★★☆ Like most Beretta 92s, the open-top slide design inherently minimizes the chance of stovepipes or failure to eject. It eats standard factory FMJ and high-quality jacketed hollow points flawlessly. However, because it is tuned tightly for competition, it may require a brief break-in period or lighter recoil springs if you plan to shoot incredibly soft, low-powder handloads.

Excellent, I purchased this one with the intention of using it mostly with mini shells, and I am not disappointed with this thing; it runs flawlessly, is more pleasant to run, and adds more capacity: 8+1 with Federal mini shells and 7+1 with imported ones. Not to mention that it can also be run with 2 3/4" and 3" shells, which have a capacity variance depending on whether they are American or foreign. Bud's delivery service was excellent and fast. A+

The cascades are the best option under $1k for a bolt action plain and simple. Good stock, good feeding, good trigger. This is my 3rd with more to come. All of mine shoot less than 3/4 MOA. This one with 130gr Berger ammo is less than 1/2 MOA.

This item was not in the shipped package. And was not listed on the shipping document. #6220499-17

Love this Underwood ammo very good ammo at a very cheap price on buds best place I found to buy it

I have been spending and reloading these magazine for a while now and have had no issues. I would recommend this product.

Really like it! Another great derringer from Bond Arms. I thought there would be much more recoil and kick but found the grip to be confident and recoil very manageable, even one handed. As usual placing the order with Buds was very simple and the order was fulfilled quickly.

Took this to the range today not knowing what to expect. Had those famous back to battery issues in the back of my mind. I did make sure the weapon was properly lubricated and had also checked for burrs in the frame, just to make sure. This weapon is a thing of beauty. The trigger is everything I had heard about and then some. It ate fmj 115gr and hollows 124gr with no issues at all. Fired over 200 rounds and went home a happy camper. I've ordered a couple of mags that fill the ugly gap the included 15 rounder leaves. The overall size and feel makes this an amazing carry option, it even fits in my pocket and makes no printing with a proper shirt. Give this a go if you're on the fence, can't beat the quality/price combo. My glock is staying home from now on.
