Thread: I'm Screwed: Thanks Wilson Combat!

    For me, the Vertec frame points quite a bit different than a regular 92. I thinks folks typically prefer one or the other, but are not ambivalent. Nice that Wilson is giving folks options.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Welcome to the cult...er.....club! Aside from a few branding and cosmetic differences, the main difference will be the inclusion of the brigadier slide instead of the standard vertec slide.

    I'm in a simliar boat as you. I have a tan M9a3 with a Langdon Trigger job in it, and a flush but barrel, and it checks all these boxes. Especially since I've determined that I like the standard slide profile's shooting characteristics over the Brig slide. . .

    Wow! That is a nice pistol. Got to love the Berettas and Wilson is doing them right.

    With that price, thank god I'm not a fan of Vertec frames. If this thing was a PROPER 92 compact, I'd be on a ramen diet for a while, however...

    The heavier / thicker brigadier slide will give you a noticeable reduction in felt recoil. I’d say 30% or so if I had to put a number on it.
    I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

    Respectfully disagree. Don’t really notice a big recoil reduction when shooting my Brig slide guns next to my standard slide 92s...but I do notice the extra sight bounce when tracking the sights while shooting quickly due to the increased slide mass. YMMV but to me I’ll take a standard slide 92 over a Brig slide 92 any day.
    Shoot more, post less...

    I suppose felt recoil is subjective. I certainly notice it.

    That amazes me, after watching you center-punch a horse fly dancing on a target. Repeatedly.

    I'm definitely sold on the LTT trigger job. Myself and another member here are going to ship a box full of pistols to him in a few weeks.

    Hmmm, interesting. How much harder is it to track down a holster for it?

    It is nice scoring used M9 Kydex for cheap prices on the EE.
