Like the standard 92FS, the Brigadier is a DA/SA semi-auto pistol that employs the renowned open-slide, short-recoil delayed locking-block system, which yields a faster cycle time and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. In particular, the open-slide design practically eliminates “stove-piping” and helps flawless cycling and feeding even after thousands and thousands of rounds. The recently-renewed contract with the US military speaks clear: when it comes to dependability even in some of the world’s most extreme conditions, the Beretta 92FS still has no match. Add to this the extra weight of the Brigadier slide, and you get enhanced durability even above these specifications.
Regardless of the fantastic reputation, the actual test for a tactical pistol’s worth is at the shooting range. The 92 family consistently bests the US military requirement of a 10-shot group of 3” or less at 50 meters (just short of 55 yards). While this type of match-grade accuracy is impressive, it is no magic. At Beretta, they know that precise tolerances keep performance consistent shot after shot, which not only gives the 92 its extraordinary accuracy, but it makes all factory parts interchangeable within the same model.
This pistol offers a variety of tactical features that make it equally safe, easy to use, and dependable in the holster of military personnel as well as for home or personal defense. Its reversible magazine release lets you use either hand for tactical magazine changes. At the same time, its ambidextrous safety-decocker makes it flexible for right or left-handed persons or shooters trying out different gripping or shooting styles. The Brunition finish is highly resistant to sweat and corrosion, and after shooting, a tool-free disassembly latch makes it a snap to take the pistol apart for cleaning.
