Holster For A Brigadier Slide Beretta

[iWander]

I purchased a Beretta Elite II 92 when they first came out and stupidly sold it. I'm now purchasing an Elite II 96 and am looking for an OWB carry/ range holster.

I want one of the Safariland ALS rigs, but they no longer make one for the Brigadier slide. So I'm looking for one in leather or lined kydex, straight drop to 10° cant, under $100. A retention method like the ALS or a thumb break is preferred. The Brigadier slide on the Elite really limits options.

Suggestions with pics of your rigs are appreciated. It needs to be concealable under a light cover garment...

Aker used to make several thumb break options for the brig slide.

When I was issued a 96D Brigadier Aker, Don Hume, Blade Tech and milt sparks all made brigadier slide holsters.

More recently Ive had good luck with the Wilson Brig Tac holsters but they dont have retention.

There are some kydex benders who do thumb breaks and SLS / WRS type retention on custom kydex.

KT Mech is one but there are many others.

Aren’t the Brig Tac holsters molded to the round trigger guards? If so, how does that affect the fit of a squared trigger guard gun, such as the E2?

I think I found this on eBay several years ago. It works for Brigadier slides just great. It also works for railed frame 92 series & even the MiniCougar I often carry.

That picture is just showing the fit, but isn’t what I would actually carry my Billennium in. It won’t latch with the hammer cocked... I got a Wilson Combat (MTR) holster mainly for the rare occasion when I carry the Billie.


I highly recommend getting a holster that is designed for the Combat/Square Trigger guard. That way it will work for either style.

For clarity, is that a typo? The stamp on the back says JS Leather.

I shoot my 92 Elite from an ALS 7T holster just fine. It also fits my older ALS lined holster.

The round will fit in square guard holsters but not the reverse.

The round will fit in square guard holsters but not the reverse.

That’s what I thought, and it appears from the pics, all the Wilson holster offerings have been updated for rounded trigger guards. I have a Wilson, pre-rounded trigger guard for my E2, but that’s no longer an option apparently.
