Grey Nistan finish?

Saw this on GB. It's the LTT performance addition. Had to go to the Beretta web site
to find the finish type. Beretta is calling it a "Nistan finish" (not Nitron). The color is grey.

I then did a web search and there's little information.

Anyone know anything about this finish type? Durability? Why does something tell
me it doesn't wear well.

Reminds me of the CZ Shadows 2 in grey. All the used grey Shadows you see have
areas worn off.

Otherwise, gorgeous gun.........

I have a CZ SP-01 in their Urban Grey. It has held up well, but I'm pretty sure it's just a Cerakote finish...which isn't all that durable.

The Beretta finish looks more like a flat Nickel coating to me.

Yeah, some searches call it a "Nistan Alloy Finish" but that's Beretta speak. No real
specifics.

I'm not sure if the grey CZ's are Cerakote or not, but that'd make sense. You're right,
not all that durable but still a good finish.

I did a search and it's apparently an electroplating nickel finish. I'd say it would be pretty durable. It's a good looking gun. I may need to add one to my collection.

Beretta 92X Performance Production Standard

Yeah that’s the full name on the case. It’s a long one lol. Just brought her home today and thought I’d share it with a few comparisons against my Legion 226 SAO RXP. The 92X Performance comes in a nice looking case with a combination lock. Manual says it’s approved for travel. Unlike...

Lipsey is a distributor, those are MSRP. Dealers can make their price what they want.

1475 seems like a pretty solid deal considering the LTT trigger work. That's tempting. It's a beast of a gun, steel frame 92's are just fun shooters.

It is tempting, I found one for 1295. The only thing stopping me is I can't stand the vertec grip, I feel like they ruined the classic 92 ergonomics, and that extra grip they supply isn't the same.

Yeah, the extra grip puts the Beretta "hump" back in the backstrap. I've heard both grips are cheesy.
But thankfully there's tons of aftermarket
