The APX has been out for at least 2 years and the production gun list only shows two model APX's on their list, APX 4.3 inch 40 S&W (27.5 oz.) APX 4.3 inch 9mm (26.8 oz.) The APX Target model and combat models aren't even listed. The APX Target model is supposed to be their full size striker fired competition gun. Too bad really, the APX is a pretty nice gun at a reasonable price. And if you get one of the 92X Performance guns without issues (mine has no issues so far, though only a couple thousand rounds through it to this point), they're super nice, though a better quality classic grip adapter would be a welcome improvement for those of us not enamored with the Vertec grip. I'll never understand why the don't market their stuff better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildPete Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I haven't put the 92X Performance in a production box yet. How much of the thumb safety needs to be taken off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Shot with a guy that had one and........pretty much all of it was removed. Like 98% of it, looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 See the pics, a Brigadier is there for perspective. The lever on the left side of the gun only has to be ground to be below the slide stop, that's your limiting factor on that side. The right side lever is done after you get the left side lever at the level of the slide stop. Unless you don't care about making them flat (I didn't care, so I just ground them off as much as I could where they were still useable if I wanted to use them). If you wanted to keep the safety lever on the right side of the gun more prominent, you could also grind down the slide stop, though on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejevans45 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I just now looking at getting a 92X Performance and want to know if grinding down the thumb safety is still the only option to fitting the box. I realize this thread is 6 months old and was hoping something new was available. I’ve done some searches and can’t seem to find anything but the small safety which doesn’t seem to solve the problem.

Stony Lane Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Now, extra small levers: (European site) https://estore.beretta.com/en-eu/safety-assembly-92x-performance-extra-small/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejevans45 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Do we know for sure the extra small will fit the box? Otherwise it’s not worth the hassle if you have to grind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejevans45 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Shouldn’t be too difficult for beretta to make a flat one and state it will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO BUSA should offer them free to owners of the X'perf in the US. The X'pref wasn't the best thought out design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stony Lane Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I've contacted Hogue, VZ and Lok about wrap-around 92X Performance grips - no takers so far. Go to the 1:30 mark, these grips are not wrap-around, but they do look to have a nice palm swell. But expensive for me to try as an experiment... https://christiansencomponents.com/product/toni-system-beretta-x3d-grips/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just squirms around in my hand. And points weird. Maybe too many years shooting Glocks, who knows... I tried getting used to it, but it never feels right. I'll just use my home-made wraparound conversion grips until someone comes out with something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 It would be nice to see flush safeties released for the 92X, I really don't understand why they bothered to introduce their top end match gun, for Production, with safeties on it. Just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that happened, I was no longer interested. The safeties just killed it for me. Maybe if this had been introduced after the Elite II issues, and it had had flat, or I mean, flush, safeties, I would have jumped on it. But it just doesn't shake its money maker enough for me to throw coins at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScopenDot Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Since the last post on this topic was back on the Marine Corps birthday... I figured I'd ask if anyone has determined if the Beretta small safeties fit the box yet? Or if anyone is selling a safety that does?

I almost spit my coffee out when I looked the price up awhile back. But it is what it is. If I end up with reshaping them I'll finish them clean and Cerakote them before I put them back in.
