Description
Let’s be honest—some guns are made to be fired, others to be admired. The Beretta 98 FS Biliennium? It’s both. Built for serious shooters and serious collectors, this limited-edition pistol (just 2,000 made worldwide) blends high-performance features with head-turning style. It’s Beretta’s way of saying, “Here’s what we can do when we’re showing off a little.”
A Steel Frame That Means Business
No aluminum here. The frame is forged from high-strength steel and finished with a striking satin/polished nickel-alloy coating. It feels as solid as it looks—dense, balanced, and made to last a lifetime (or three).
Refined Slide, Smarter Sights
The widened slide improves recoil stability and adds visual heft, while the redesigned front end lets you swap out the dovetail front sight with ease. Beretta also fine-tuned the top profile for better sight alignment—because looks matter, but so does landing your shot.
Thumb-Friendly Safety, Lefty-Approved
Instead of sticking with the traditional slide-mounted safety, Beretta moved it to the frame, where it should be, many would argue. It’s ambidextrous, easy to reach, and locks up both the sear and the slide. Just how you’d want it if things ever got tense.
Trigger Work That Actually Feels Like an Upgrade
If you’ve ever used a competition-tuned trigger, you’ll get it. If not, this might spoil you. The Biliennium’s single-action pull is crisp, light, and fast. Better yet, it has an overtravel stop screw to fine-tune the break and reset. There’s almost no slack, and the let-off is razor-thin.
Carbon Fiber + Comfort = Unexpected Luxury
The carbon fiber touches aren’t just there for show. They give the pistol a modern edge, and the grips are wrapped in a soft-touch, anti-slip layer that feels great in your hand and wears well over time. Front and back straps are fully checkered, and the upper grip area is relieved for a smoother, more natural feel.
Smart Ergonomics, Thoughtful Design
The extended magazine release is reversible for left-handed use and checkered for a solid press under pressure. Small detail? Sure. But it makes a big difference for anyone who’s not right-handed or wears gloves.
Magazines Built for Action
Each pistol comes with two high-capacity magazines: one standard 92-series mag and one with a rubber bumper for faster reloads and added durability. It’s a nod to shooters who take their range time seriously.
Precision Sights That Actually Adjust
Both the front and rear sights are dovetailed, so replacements or upgrades are a breeze. The rear sight is fully micrometric, windage adjustable to dial in accuracy for competitive or precision shooting.
And That Skeletonized Hammer…
You’ll notice it. The cutaway design doesn’t just look cool—it reduces mass for quicker lock time, helping you stay on target during rapid follow-up shots.
