Originally, I wasn't going to buy a Wilson/Beretta Brigadier Tactical last year when they first came out - I bought one of the new, regular Brigadiers instead.

Then, since that time, I keep seeing pics of this gun on the Beretta Forum and other places - and I just couldn't resist. After losing out on some Gunbroker ads, I just went ahead and put my name on the waiting list at Wilson since July.

I was told to expect the gun by Christmas...

Well, I went to the large Reliant Center gunshow in Houston today - on my way out, I saw a banner for a Wilson dealer. I thought I'd go look and see if he had one of those Berettas... Sure enough - he did. I explained to him how I was on the waiting list, and how I've owned over 25 Beretta 92's over the years. He asked me what my discounted price was from Wilson - and he and I ended up working out a price that was lower than what he was asking for it.

Anyway - he said he just got 3 in yesterday, and he sold the other 2 earlier that morning... So, I got the last one... Now, I'll be calling Wilson on Monday to remove myself from their waiting list.. No more waiting :)

I own a Beretta M-9 that I truly love. However, after seeing your Tactical, I fear I must start referring to mine as "My lowly M-9."
 
I picked one up myself this week, after I had Wilson's single sided decocker installed. My dealer got five in, but mine is one of the original 1000.
 
I had the pleasure of shooting a few rounds through one of these about 2 weeks ago. Another member of the gun club had one and he urged me to try it. I have not fired a 92 in several years. I was very pleased to find that the gun was laser beam accurate. I was nailing small pieces of broken clay pigeons at 15 yards with that thing. The grip did not have the typical "OMG this thing is a brick" feel to it.

It's an extremely nice Beretta. I'd go as far as to say it's worth the asking price.
 
Nice find. I have the same but with the mag guide and the trigger mod. It definitely beats my sig 226 tac ops, but its close. It is a tack driver for sure. Mine is a keeper and was worth every penny.
 
I love mine and thoroughly enjoy shooting it. I got the trigger job too and it's sweet!

I got one of the original 1000 too.
 
Ok - I put 200 rounds thru it. Gun works great.

I shot at 7 and 15 yards. I shot double taps 1 and 2 handed. Shot all double action both 1 handed and 2 handed. Shot 1 handed and 2 handed at different distances. Really enjoyed the gun.

I will keep the rear sight as is. It is nice to shoot with that way. Now, with no tritium on the rear sight, I would never make it a night stand gun for that reason. The front sight is tritium, but the rear is all black. But, gun is very accurate. It does shoot tighter groups with the 124gr American Eagle than the 115gr WWB - not much different, but it is noticeable.

In the end - after this being my 25th Beretta 92 variant... I will say that it shoots about as well as any other Beretta 92. However, being such a fan of the platform, it is cool to have something a little rarer and a little different than most 92's you come across.
 
Another spoke in the upcoming, revitalized "Wheel O' Berettas". Congrats!!!

Sho nuff... I have a smaller Beretta Wheel right now, but I am working on it :)
