Compatibility Notes
- Primary fit: Beretta 92 Compact series.
- Some retailers list compatibility with certain M9 variants or note it works in full-size 92-series guns in some cases, but it is optimized for the compact model (shorter grip/frame). Always verify fit in your specific pistol.
- Not compatible with "heel" release 92S models or Squalo versions (standard for many Mec-Gar 92 mags).
