So, to recap...over the past few months Beretta USA has...
1) Released a run of standard 92Gs for commercial sales
2) Displayed the 92FS and 92G Vertec at AUSA
3) Apparently is releasing a run of 92FS Brigadiers (on standard frames)
and
4) Is releasing a limited special edition run of 92G Brigadiers (Possibly "Brigadier Tactical") as teased by GJM in this thread
Looks like a real change in trajectory for Beretta USA.
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
I'm holding out hope for them bringing back the Vertec-G. I actually managed to fondle one at the LGS and that thing felt amazing. Couldn't shoot it since it was a rental, though. FWIW, I can shoot a stock 92FS nearly as well as I do a SIG (which is to say I shoot less like a bag of smashed ass) compared to Glocks and even *gasp* 1911s*.
*Note: going on a good balance of speed and accuracy when I say that. For me, my top 5 for accurate shooting at speed is SIG, Beretta, BHP, H&K and S&W.
ETA: please note I very likely (almost certainly) suck compared to most regular shooters here. I'm just reporting my own experiences with various manufacturers and I have an M&P9 FS that behaves itself in terms of accuracy (translated: I'm not at the stage where I can tell the difference between me and the gun) sitting on my hip as I type this.
M9A1 Compact ordered! That will give me one more "slot" to use before Kalifornia closes the door on us for whatever other goodies Beretta come out with or a Sig MPX :P
Does anyone on the forum have any online recommendations for a Beretta Dealer? If you do send me a PM. I have always wanted a 92 and would like to shop around when these new models arrive.
I know my dealer/ffl is connected to Lipsey's, so he just ordered mine through them. Fazi's on Saltsburg Rd is also listed as a Lipsey's dealer. Maybe check on Lipsey's site and see what comes up?
The 92G is up on Beretta USA's page with all the other standard production full size pistols. Maybe it's going to be a regular catalog item and not just a limited run.
