Earlier Wilson introduced the Beretta Brigadier with Wilson refinements. Now for 2016 Wilson has just released the 92G compact carry in 9mm. Considering the base cost of the pistol with all the Wilson custom additions the MSRP of $1095.00 seems reasonable. Checking Gunbroker the average Beretta Elite is running about $1200 for a used one. This makes the Wilson more appealing to me.
For those who have shot or owned the Beretta Elite from the late 90s this compact will look familiar. What Beretta did was add additional steel into the sides of the slide which add some weight for control as well as increase its service life. Beretta also made the Elite as well as the Vertec. The Wilson pistol seems to have some features of each with Wilson custom touches.
I’ve never been fond of the rail on a 92 of any kind. It’s really good to see this one has a clean frame with no rail! The ambidextrous control levers are also decockers only which is another feature I like. It’s simply easier to use than the typical Beretta 92 safety.
Other pluses are the steel decockers,trigger,guide rod and mag release. In other words it’s optimized for a long service life for those who might use it in competition. It is approved for IDPA stock class competition. This is one Beretta I want to take a hard look at to add to my collection. Complete specifications are listed below. Current shipping time is six weeks.
