Was there a Beretta 92 variant using both Brigadier and Centurion slide into one.

I can not find evidence of one despite my google fu.

I think it would be interesting.

I'm not sure I completely understand the question, but...

The Centurion is essentially a Compact slide on a full size frame. The Brigadier is a full size that features a slide with increased mass, particularly in the locking block area and also has a dovetail front sight. Both were available in 9mm and .40 S&W.

I don't recall a Compact Brigadier ever being offered.

They existed in a very small production run overseas. See pic here:

This was brought up on Beretta forum a year or so ago.

Too bad these slides are not available any more. I love my 92F and 96D but the front sights , well, not my choice these days w/aging eyes and such!
