The inclusion of the Toni System flared magwell facilitates swift reloads, while a specially crafted, highly textured grip by Hogue ensures superior control.

The MSRP is $1,049, and there will be a small, enhanced, run of the 92XI Squalo by Custom Gun Work at Langdon Tactical Technology. Note that the Beretta website quotes prices starting from $1,299, and at the time of writing this article, we don’t know which is correct.
