Gardone, Italy– October 2022– The unique 92FS Fusion DLC handgun embodies an unprecedented take on the glorious 92 families by combining the most modern technologies available on the market with the craftsmanship that made Beretta world famous. Compared to military standards that require an H + L of a maximum of 160mm, the Fusion pistol H + L sits between 70 and 80mm – the result of a careful barrel selection finishing.

The Fusion barrel is entirely made of steel and has an increased barrel area to host hand-worked inserts. A hyper-technologic dress for the icon of the pistol world, an exclusive piece of engineered art.
The DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating is usually employed in several technologically advanced industries such as automotive, medicine, and racing.
Through it, a thin film of amorphous carbon is applied to steel and transfers to it several beneficial properties commonly associated with natural diamonds: hardness, resistance against aging, rust, shocks, scratches, and acidic chemicals such as alkaline.
Moreover, DLC lends a glossy black reflective look, which doesn’t look that bad either…
One more thing: DLC coating doesn’t involve the use of solvents or dangerous substances, being thus non-toxic and environmentally neutral. DLC is currently being studied by Beretta as a viable replacement for barrels chroming, as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable option for greater product durability.
This study is part of Cromozero, an EU Programme co-founded project aimed at replacing the internal chrome plating of barrels with a greener, safer but equally effective process.
