I dunno if it's special, but it's a very good design. The fact that it passed the Army's XM9 trials is certainly quite important, since many of the other "Wonder Nines" of the day didn't. The open-top slide was already proven on Beretta's older pistols - the 92 series were just the first high-capacity versions.
The only thing I've never liked about the 92 series is that they're a little too big.
