Beretta 92G

Pretoria78 · Sep 16, 2014

Lipsey's recently got a batch of newly manufactured Beretta 92G's in. On a lark, I had my FFL order one for me. For a plain vanilla Beretta, I think that the G variant is the most desirable. I've wanted a new 92G for many years, and am glad that I was finally able to get this one.

Anyone else going to get one?

Never heard of it. I have the m9a1.

This is the variant that has the decocker only safety, right?

I have a 96D in 40, but not a big fan of the double action. Trigger pull is WAY too long. Otherwise, it is well built and solid.

Yup. I think it fixes one of the primary shortcomings of the 92FS by featuring a decocker only. Aside from that, it's identical in every way.

D spring mod will take care if your double action.

While I never use the safety on a 92 as such, I see it as a minor inconvenience rather than a shortcoming. You generally only decock after chambering and before holstering the handgun -- so split-seconds don't count and the adrenaline isn't flowing. Taking the safety back off is automatic muscle-memory for me with a 92.

I have a Beretta 92 F , old but the best shooting firearm I own.

Don't you need an excuse to buy a new handgun? :cool:

After several months, I got the call from Wilson Combat that my upper is ready to come home. I've had the barrel shortened / recrowned and added a fiber-optic front sight and a rear battle sight. Should be in my hands by mid-week.

I really like the Gs and the G-SDs, though the SD is quite expensive.

Say, by Thursday...?

I just picked up a Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier from the "second batch" (they only made a thousand in the first run). Gotta tell you - it is SWEET. :party29:

I pick up mine this week. I am really going to like those Wilson sights. Extremely pretty gun too - but I expect that it will be a shooter for me.

According to Kevin at WC, yes. :party29:

Aren't they, though?

I'm sure you'll love your new gun. Enjoy it!

and

I had Wilson cut / recrown the barrel and put on the higher profile steel / fiber optic sights.

Since September 2014, I've installed Wilson's steel trigger, a Beretta D mainspring (thanks ToddG) and the Wilson grips / mag release. Despite what the naysayers think, the 92G is a very shootable platform, and can turn out excellent accuracy.

I'm going to grab a few boxes of 115 grain Speer Lawman FMJ and head to the range.

Was the G model made solely to make sure one didn't forget to flip off the safety? Carrying a DA decocked seems safe enough, no?

If you do a speed reload and grab the slide to rack it, it is very easy to accidentally engage the safety on the 92, which will decock the gun and leave it on safe.

I'm good.

Of course I couldn't just get a regular Beretta, I had to search far and wide (berettaforum.net, for 15 minutes) to find an Elite II in good condition. In fact, my gun was originally purchased by a gentleman who bought at 92 and 96 at the same time. He shot the 92 frequently, and just left the 96 in the safe for over a decade before he saw my WTB post. What luck.

I swapped out the standard grips for some houge's. It's a good shooter. The DA pull leaves a bit to be desired, but the SA works out nicely.
