Here is a clue -- the new gun is a 9mm.

can we play 20 questions?
shot my Brig-Tac today, sweet pistol. so if i'm going to add to my collection, it has to be special in some way. either features, price, looks (an engraved 92 would be nice), or some combo. no point buying another if i already have one that does what the new one does just as well. i shoot my guns, i'm not much into collecting just for the sake of having one of every version of some pistol.
i'll stay tuned.
I have ten or fifteen metal Beretta pistols, and I could replace them all with two or three of the new model.can we play 20 questions?

well, since the new thing is "modularity" (p320, APX are current examples), it would be neat if you could mix and match pieces and parts to make yourself a modular 92. serialized frame with changeable backstrap (so you can have either classic or vertec grip), D spring, long or short slide/barrel, replaceable sights, easy F to G conversion. buy the frame from Wilson, then spec out the other parts you want on it to make it just special for you.
i have no idea what is planned, i'm just thinking outside the box.
but i still love my Brig-Tac.
centurion slide, vertec frame, and g model?
Care to elaborate?
Certainly.
IMHO, the compact slide guns track really flat, without giving up any much in the way of practical accuracy compared to the full size guns. I think they really shine in the zone where defensive engagements typically occur, say 15 yards and in. This is probably the main reason I like them so much. I've shot better on drills like "the test" with a Centurion than anything else. At 25 and beyond, I can probably do a little better with a full size, but the compact and centurion still group quite well at the 50 yard line.
For me, the short slide guns are slightly more comfortable when carried AIWB. My full size AIWB holsters all have a little cant dialed in for comfort, but the compact slides I can carry "straight up" which I think makes for a slightly more direct draw stroke, and comfort is less dependent on holster position. I also think the full size grip is an advantage when it comes to a rapid presentation, and for maintaining a firm grip during rapid fire.
In terms of concealment, a full size Beretta still has a relatively short grip compared to other choices such as the P30, P226, G17, etc, so for AIWB, I usually don't feel the need to switch to a compact to keep the grip hidden. For conventional OWB, the compact frame probably has more of an advantage, though.
Hope this helps explain my opinion. I was much more of a "short grip, long slide" advocate, until I got my hands on a Compact and later, a Centurion.

They may have come back a bit, but I still think they're a ways off from where the were 15 or so years ago, at least with regards to the 92 pistols. It was more diverse when they had Elite 2s, Elite E1As, Vertecs, GSDs, Steel 1s, Compacts, Centurions, Combats, etc.
Can't wait for the this to drop.
