i owned the umarex beretta xxtreme a few months ago and had it for about a year, the beretta 92fs which it really is underneath the red dot sight and compensator is a fantastic umarex pistol. this is a fun tactical version which comes with a nice top point sight and a quad rail for fitting laser sights, torches or any other accessaries. i have to say though it is heavy for a pistol and there for may take the fun out of some shooters, the compensator does little or nothing for the accuracy...

Own Walther Nighthawk, CP99 Compact and The Beretta XX-Treme. Same weight as a real pistol; good balance; trigger gets easier to pull (though pulling hammer back spins pellet cartridge); by placing a light or laser on the bottom of the pistol it can be used to leverage the gun with your raised and crooked elbow (hand on opposing forearm) as you sight; opposing safety switch for leftys; cartridge replacement seems (dispite my problem) best on market with exception of Nighthawk.

I had wanted either this or the Nighthawk for a while and decided to go for it.
Since the recent law came in which halted internet sales i had to buy the pistol from my local gun shop.
The guy completely ripped me off, but i didnt really have a choice!
i paid '£250 plus 10 Co2 cans and a 500 tin of pellets.
Daylight robbery..
Anyway the guns nice, great for target shooting and looks very authentic.

This is my third Co2 gun (I own Beretta 9000S and Walther cp99), very, very accurate in target shooting (10 meters, 33 feets), of course not very practical, as it's large and heavy, a little too short (in lenght) magazine (as all the umarex products, excepts for revolvers) that will limit you in the choicee of the pellet. Anyway, it's a pleasure to handle and to own such piece of steel. of course you'll not have a precise trigger (as the target pistols) or an awesome power (like springers or... (read more)

Be truthful, is adding a fake can (compensator) and red dot sight to the Beretta XX-Treme worth the $100 price mark up?
It still has the same notchy trigger pull of the regular Beretta because you are still fighting against turning the pellet holder while trying to fire.
Some say the accuracy is better, but I didn't notice much difference.
As usual, make sure the pellets are properly seated and heaven help you if you try to use pointed pellets (they are too long for the pellet holder...

agree on the mark up...
anyways you CAN use pointed pellets with Beretta; they (92fs) use the same mags/cylinder as CP99/88 and Colt. I don't remember the max pellet length you can use (it says in the manual, 6.5mm?) but most pointed pellets work fine. Mine 92FS had a 'few' shots through it so the trigger is more than acceptable (esp. in SA), but it wasn't bad to start with.
I also wouldn't call it a 'dying line of air guns'; Umarex did the same with CPSport/Nighthawk. it's just marketing...

Maybe dying is too harsh but other competitors are nipping at their heels. Daisy, if it can get the kinks worked out, is planning to release the 008 model this year and that should be a sales winner if early testing pans out.
At least try to come out with something new instead of dressing up an existing product and calling it new while charging a huge mark up. Sort of like Ford in the U.S. selling the Crown Victoria for $5,000 less than the Mercury Grand Marquis. Both are the same blessed car, one just has a jazzier nameplate but underneath it's the same old tired car.

You might notice a difference in accuracy if you learned to aim properly.

I really liked the gun the can does make it more accurate if you know how to aim properly but it isn't worth $50.

This is my first CO2 pistol, though I have owned a BSA Supersport air rifle for years. Bought the Beretta XX-Tremea few days ago for a very reasonable £145 from Guerrilla. Looks the business, feels right and is great fun to use. The compensator does actually improve accuracy. I fired 8 shots without it at 10m and all hit within 3-4". With the compensator I managed to get down to a 1-2" grouping :) Whether it is supposed to work as a silencer too, I'm not sure - seems to make it louder if... (read more)

The Beretta XX-Treme goodness out weighs the pistol's bad point's by a mile away. The pistol at first seem to be oily, extremely, and stiff. I stripped it down to gun only, thus taking the red dot, rail, off. I took all the external screws out and fitted each screw with Nut Lock. Which would eliminate screws from coming loose. The pistol is very powerful for the first 10 shots, slight recoil. The suppressor kind of works, if you want it to work better just add selotape around the front 2... (read more)

Quote: I have also noticed my cousin, when he was using it; he found it hard to shoot single action (rapid fire). so he had to cock it all the time
<br>
<br>I think you meant DOUBLE action, single action is when you cock the hammer.
<br>
<br>Also the gun has about 2.5 ft-lb of energy and not 3.5 (I wish it was 3.5 though)
Written on: 23/12/2004
To be honest I had a few problem before with XXtreme, but the one I have now is working perfectly. My older beretta's shot pellets in velocity in Single action, I did get it confused in the review. Anyway it was shooting 2.5 lb not 3.5 the keys were too close. Nice Pistol Though.

"recoil" ? To have recoil you would recuire a coil? there is no coil in a CO2 gun,....
Written on: 01/03/2005
That thing looks great
<br>If it shoots half as good as it looks it's a great addition to any collection, also I have a question, does the compensator actually do anything for the gun? or is it like the compensator on the original 92fs, in that it's rubbish.

Hey, I'm deciding on buying either a walther nigthawk or a baretta xx-treme, but I can't decide! And since you have both, I was wondering which one you would recommend? Or if there are any better ones?? Thanks.
