    New EL Beretta 92 coming out

    Let me start by saying my goal with this project is to build what I think is the best all around 92 without it costing an arm and a leg. I want it to be a great gun for competition as well as possibly a duty gun for fans of Beretta 92s.

    So here is the plan:

    M9A1 frame, all the same with checkering and mag well bevel.
    With a cut or rounding under the trigger guard by the mag button area.
    No lanyard loop, flush like a Vertec or Elite.
    Big mag button like the Wilson Gun
    VZ Grips like pictured at the beginning of the thread
    Vertec Slide, with front Cocking Serrations like the Elite guns (back of slide is supposed to have a radius on the bottom sharp corners)
    New style G Lever (I know some don't like it, but it is a better part and lets people convert back to an F if they want)
    Wilson Rear Sight
    Dawson Fiber Optic Front sight
    Solid Guide Rod
    Stainless Elite II style barrel, just like the Wilson Gun but not finished in black
    Steel trigger
    D model hammer spring
    Elite II hammer

    That pretty much it and I think it will likely be my favorite Beretta 92 of all time.

    Thanks for the support guys!



    Ok, I have literally asked WTF they have not literally got with him and literally made this model,
    Like for real,
    Not figuratively since at least September 2015.
    On multiple posts on more than one forum.
    I called it the tactical elite.

    The non railed EII frame one I said they get with Stoeger and call it the competition elite.

    Probably earlier.

    And I bet I don't get a free one for a consulting fee.

    Yes, there is a lot of talk online about this gun. I have the M9A3 and a Wilson Brig. I couldn't make myself like the Wilson rear sight. Maybe if it was squared off in the channel - I didn't like the curve. I ended up getting a normal trijicon 2dot tritium sight to replace it.

    I gotta say, while this gun sounds interesting - I'd rather get a 2nd M9A3 over it. The M9A3 is actually my fav handgun I own out of everything

    Why no frame mounted safety for C&L carry?

    I'd be into Berettas in a heartbeat if they offered one that wasn't a special edition one-off.

    Better yet, why not a steel frame?

    Does anyone know when these should be for sale? All I saw mentioned was "late this year"

    If you want to carry a cocked and locked SA carry a 1911.

    As much as I love a frame mounted safety on a 1911,
    I do not like them as much when in beretta or Taurus form.
    It is not like they have a 1911 safety

    Sounds good. I'll be waiting for a M9A3-G myself. Beretta quality and with a frame that fits my tiny hands.

    Maybe I don't want to carry a 1911. Maybe I want more capacity and a 9mm? They already MADE Berettas with them, so it's not like it's a particular stretch of engineering prowess.

    There's always the Browning Hi-Power, SiG P226 SAOs, CZ 75s (and the P07/09), USPs, and P30S's.

    My point was i really like the frame mounted safety on a 1911.

    But the style of frame mounted safeties on the Berettas and Taurus when you try them you may find quite lacking in comparison.
