About Beretta
Beretta is the oldest active firearms manufacturer in the world, founded in 1526 in the Italian province of Brescia — making it older than most countries. The Beretta 92 series served as the official U.S. military sidearm (M9) from 1985 to 2017, and the platform remains one of the most recognized handguns globally. Their California roster presence includes the 92FS and its variants, the PX4 Storm, and several compact models. Beretta firearms are known for their smooth double-action triggers, open-slide design for reliable ejection, and the kind of fit and finish that comes from nearly 500 years of gunmaking.
Beretta currently has 36 handguns on the California roster. Browse all Beretta models →
