Burnt bronze I believe.

Yes. I don't really ever envision using this gun as a defensive gun (of course it would do that just fine if needed) as my familiy members are more proficient with striker fired guns and I like everyone to be able to grab and shoot as needed. Also, I went with the low profile safety/decocker thinking it would be much harder to accidently engage when running the slide (this is absolutely the case).

Do you plan on doing a video review of it?

Of course

I'm anxious to see it. I picked up a M9 a few days ago, and the Wilson custom work has me pretty intrigued.

What kind of turn around time are people seeing with Wilson's work?

Nice looking...but still a big ol' chunky Beretta.

When Wilson comes out with their own polymer framed striker fired "Glock-killer" I will have to open my piggy bank. LOL

Shes big, but she will out perform most other guns in her class in the reliability department. The in-line feed geometry is amazing.

So many people try to knock the beretta without really knowing first hand how great of a weapon it is. Is it perfect, no. But it is an amazing performer and for all intensive purposes does what it capable of very well. I'm glad an extremely quality company finally got their hands on them.

Hating on the beretta is the oldest pastime for many sadly. A lot of the arguments against it are pretty crappy.

"It only holds 15 rounds for it's massive size!" Ok, buy Mecgar flush fitting 18 round mags.

"It's heavy" It's lighter than a 1911, people love those.

"the slides crack!" One or two have been reported online, meanwhile many users have tens of thousands of rounds through their Beretta no prob. Someone offered to buy broken Beretta slides for 200 bucks as a challenge, no one sent him any.

"the locking blocks can break" Beretta addressed the issue and came out with the nigh unbreakable gen 3 locking block.

"the open top lets dirt and mud in" Is this really an issue for gun owners? Do we go romping through mud puddles with our 92s?

"My friend in the military says they are unreliable POS guns." Ah yes, the military where mags are bought as cheap as possible, parts are swapped between pistols, parts are sometimes decades old and some soldiers think cleaning the finish of the barrel with a wire brush is necessary. Yeah, those pistols.

Looks like Wilson has identified a new market for their services. For all of the beretta fanboys out there who swear by their pistols that have issues, Wilson has targeted a needed industry sector where customers will flock to get their berettas to work.
