#92g

It was Christmas of 1988 and I was on an Coast to Coast flight, headed out to Los Angeles to visit friends and maybe see some family. The backlog at work was huge – a full load of New York scumbags waiting to do their time. Sufficiently jaded by the job and the city, a trip to California during the holidays might have been a nice change of pace; Cappy retired out west a few years ago and seemed to enjoy it. As always, my family situation was “complicated”. I was still married (barely), separated by a few thousand miles after she got that big new position. But, my real life partner was always with me, even when I was on “vacation”, since it appears that I was the quintessential sh*t magnet. Riding in a well-worn leather shoulder rig was my Beretta 92F. Fast forward some 30 years later, here I sit, long since retired, cherishing a Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier Tactical – a beautiful update to the weapon that I used to personally defend freedom on so many different occasions.

Wilson Combat has been expanding its offerings for the Beretta 90-series handguns. Their latest offering is a direct partnership on the 92, the 92G. While externally similar to the production 92, the 92G’s ambi safety levers act as de-cockers only. They are not functional safeties. The Brigadier model includes a match barrel, heavier safety, and Wilson Combat grips and sights.
