Beretta USA is proud to announce that two of its newest firearms have been recognized at the 2026 Industry Choice Awards, with the Beretta AX800 Suprema earning Top Range Performer of the Year and the Beretta 92G Elite LTT II receiving Competition Gun of the Year.
The Industry Choice Awards recognize products that excel through a rigorous, hands-on evaluation process conducted by a diverse panel of experienced firearms enthusiasts representing a broad range of shooting disciplines and market segments. Products are evaluated anonymously whenever possible, allowing judges to focus solely on performance, innovation, ergonomics, reliability and overall user experience.
"These awards are especially meaningful because they reflect the opinions of experienced shooters evaluating products based on real-world performance," said Caleb McMillen, Beretta USA Sr. Product Manager for Long Guns. "The AX800 Suprema and 92G Elite LTT II were designed to push performance forward in their respective categories, and earning recognition through an independent, hands-on evaluation process is a testament to the dedication of our engineering and product development teams. We're honored to have both firearms recognized among the industry's best."
The Beretta AX800 Suprema was recognized as Top Range Performer of the Year, highlighting its exceptional shooting characteristics and innovative design. Featuring Beretta's advanced Steelium® Pro barrel technology, a modular ergonomic platform and a Beretta's B-LINK® Pro gas operating system, the AX800 Suprema delivers the speed, balance and reliability today's shooters demand on the range.
The Beretta 92G Elite LTT II earned Competition Gun of the Year with evaluators testing both the Beretta factory configuration and a model further enhanced by LTT. Developed in collaboration with Langdon Tactical Technology, the pistol combines proven Beretta reliability with the patented LTT Low Mount RDO Solution, enhanced slide serrations, Beretta custom textured grips and a performance trigger designed for speed and precision. The LTT-enhanced models further showcased the platforms versatility with the addition of an LTT Trigger Job with OP Trigger bar and NP3 finish (INOX slide), LTT's EPS optic plate and a Holosun EPS MRS red dot optic.
"Our partnership with Langdon Tactical Technology brings together Beretta's legendary 92 platform with LTT's unrivaled expertise in performance enhancements, creating a pistol trusted by competitive shooters and enthusiasts alike," said Ben Grundwerg Beretta USA Product Manager for Pistols & ProShop. "The Beretta 92 has earned its place as one of the most iconic pistols ever made. Over the years, our partnership with Beretta has given us the opportunity to build on that legacy by applying decades of shooting, training, and gunsmithing experience to continually refine the platform. The 92 Elite II represents the best of what Beretta and Langdon Tactical can achieve together. Being named Competition Gun of the Year by the Industry Choice Awards is a tremendous honor and a testament to that shared commitment to excellence." - Ernest Langdon, CEO of Landon Tactical
